6'4 285 competitive powerlifter-strongman-highland games (age 40). I posted yesterday, but didn't give any background. My body is beaten up after years and my testosterone levels are now lower than my weight. I would like to get on a healthy protocol. I know a fair amount about hormones, but my last doctor told me it was plenty high enough. He doesn't know what he is talking about when it comes to hormones (good doctor otherwise), and so I need to find a good place I trust. I talked to one local men's clinic but they were going to have me come in every single week (just wanted money). Looking forward to being on this board with yall.
 
Welcome to the forum. I second Vince's suggestion - both of those are top providers and you don't need to go in for shots or pay monthly fees.

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.
