Just hit my 30s and found out I was Low-T

My name is Dan, active duty US Army, married with one kid.

I turned 31 in July and finally looked into my T levels. I've had the symptoms for as long as I can remember and have tried anti-depressents, anti-anxiety, training my ass off, etc without ever getting real results. Turns out my T levels are in the mid-250 range and my E2 is bottomed out as well.

I look forward to learning a lot from this forum. I've been reading for a couple weeks and have a consult with Defy next month to start TRT.

Thank you Nelson for setting up such an awesome place to learn and talk about all of this!

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.
