Hi,
I'm 27M, 5'8", 140lb, BF: 14-15%. I have had symptoms for the past few years, so I decided to get some blood tests recently after my research on a few forums. Symptoms include low energy (especially toward the end of the day), low libido, ED, and irritation. I usually get around 6-7 hours of sleep a night but sometimes feel restless in the morning.
I lift weights 3-4 times a week and do cardio 2-3 times a week. Recovery has been decent, but some days it's difficult to get the motivation to get to the gym. I also don't feel like I put on muscles as easily, but could just be my genetics luck. Supplements include multivitamins, fish oil, and protein powder. Overall diet is high protein, medium carbs, medium fat.
Based on the calculator, it looks like my free T percent is around 1.68%. Is that what is causing these symptoms? Or is it the high SHBG and Estradiol? Any advice is appreciated. Thank you!
The doc offered 2 potential treatment plans.
1. MK-677 with a few OTC supplements
2. TRT/HCG
