[QUOTE="coltsblue1812, post: 146379, member: 18340"] I will try to keep this short and to the point, looking for opinions... Have had bloodwork done recently and everything looks good, except: Total T = 253 Vitamin D = 24 Vitamin B12 = 226 (Free T is obviously low, also, but is 2.3% of total)... I'm 38 years old, 6'5" 265lbs 4 years ago when I had all of the tests done, my Total T was 527... back then I only weighed 235lbs (and could've still dropped to 215-220) and I lifted 4x per week and sprint/jogged 3x per week and had an active job (on my feet and up n down 5 flights of stairs for 45 hours a week) but my sleep and diet were crap. Now I've had a baby (16 months today), gained 30lbs and haven't lifted in over a year and have a desk job. My doc has prescribed trt for me, but told me if I'd like to put some serious effort into raising it naturally first, that's fine, also. SO, my question for everyone...IF I'm able to get my weight back down to 220s/230s and start lifting and being more active...and optimize my D3 and B12...and actually focus on my diet/micronutrients and sleep, do you think it's likely that I can get back to where I was before, without trt? I'm open to taking it if I have to, but I'd also be willing to put in 6-12 months if need be, if I can do it on my own without shots. Opinions, comments etc? Thanks, guys!! [/QUOTE]
