Please take a look at my dad's blood work before he starts TRT. Is it safe to start?

[QUOTE="Mountain Man, post: 61084, member: 14411"] He's pretty lazy. He's more open to a TRT protocol than he is exercise. But his cholesterol is high. He needs to pursue a healthier diet and some exercise before it gets worse. I feel like he'd be a little more motivated if he got his hormones more leveled out. His estrogen is clearly abnormally low[/QUOTE] This is the problem. Sounds like your father has started to give up. A lot of men do. The biggest thing at our ages, I think, is sex drive. Once that is lost, it becomes kind of like "what's the point?" All men, especially older men in our 60s and beyond, need something that gives them drive and motivation.
