So I spoke with my PCP today and he kind of downplayed the TSH and Low Testosterone..... but he did listen to what I had to say and was sympathetic.  He said he personally wouldn't feel comfortable treating my TSH without it being out of range, and I can understand that from his point-of-view.  I'd rather him admit he's not comfortable with subclinical hypothyroidism, than throw a pill at it.  He didn't advise TRT but said that it can be done if it's something I want.  I told him I'd make some lifestyle modifications and get a full thyroid panel (TSH,ft3,ft4,anti-bodies) and Testosterone panel (TT/FT/LH/FSH) in 3 months.  I'm cleaning up my diet to go with less processed stuff.... I've been doing the whole IIFYM and I think that's a great approach if you don't have medical issues.... but I feel better on a "cleaner" higher fat diet.  I plan to take fish oil, ZMA, Vitamin D3 (my level was vey low), and a Multivitamin that has some iodine and selenium.  Any other suggestions on an underachieve thyroid?
