Hey guys,
Would appreciate some input on this pattern.
I’ve been experiencing ongoing low energy for the past few years — mainly a lack of morning drive and waking up feeling flat or unmotivated. I wouldn’t describe it as depression, but my baseline motivation definitely feels lower than it should be.
My libido is around 4/10. I don’t have erectile dysfunction, and I still get morning erections.
I’m 32 years old, lean, around 82 kg. I don’t drink or smoke. My diet is quite strict, and I’ve never been overweight or had any metabolic health issues.
Current labs:
Does this look more like aromatization/inflammation-driven imbalance vs true androgen deficiency?
Curious how you’d approach this pattern before considering any intervention.
Thanks.
