[QUOTE="AlcahueteJ, post: 31720, member: 12816"] My weight has been stable for about a year. It crept up about 5 pounds when I broke my foot in May, and I noticed was putting on weight at the same calories/day that I was maintains a year prior during this time. What about trying to maintain a low body fat year round, say, lower than your specific body/genetics is comfortable with? Any studies linking specific body fat percentages (or at least those measured with at least a 2 compartment DEXA scan, preferably a 4 compartment)? If low body fat can cause testosterone levels as low as mine (158 ng/dL) can it be reversed by gaining weight, or is medication/therapy definitely needed at those levels? At the moment, I would like to see what this specific endocrinologist says. The hospitals here are excellent, and they have treated me with superb care for a variety of issues for years now. TRT was actually mentioned without me prompting the doctor, in fact, I had never heard of it until he mentioned it. At this point, the only drawback is availability and time. I imagine more blood work will follow prior to the appointment. I am not opposed to Defy Medical, but if I can stay within my network that I have a history with, and that insurance covers, than that is preferable. [/QUOTE]
