Hi Everyone
Justin here. New to the site and learning lots. Thanks for all the info, Nelson. I'm reading your book as well. I've taken one test for Low T at a clinic dedicated to Low T therapy in Seattle. My initial results came back below range. I had another test administered for insurance purposes and anticipate the results to be low again as well. Hesitant on starting therapy via injections as I hate needles. Considering androderm patches instead. Has anyone else opted for the patches?

Welcome to our group! Glad you are reading the book.

Patches have been proven not to work as well. Most doctors don't prescribe it.

If you hate needles, consider a brand name testosterone gel ( Androgel, Axiron, Fortesta) or a compounded T gel or cream.

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
