Do you know where your Free Testosterone level truly sits LOL!
Most GPs, dime. a dozen T-mills let alone some of the more reputable clinics (hint, hint) are still clueless when it comes to testing the most critical blood marker FREE TESTOSTERONE!
No one should be using/relying upon the known to be inaccurate direct immunoassays!
Critical points that need to be hammered home here!
Opportunities for improvement
* Harmonize free testosterone reference ranges across laboratories
* Ensure that only accurate free testosterone assays remain on the market
* Free testosterone should be the predominant laboratory parameter to assesss hypogonadism, not total testosterone

Testosterone imbalances affect men, women, and children differently. In males, testosterone deficiency (hypogonadism) can lead to low libido, fatigue, and muscle loss, while excess may contribute to aggression and cardiovascular risks. In females, testosterone excess (hyperandrogenism), often associated with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) or adrenal disorders, can cause excess hair growth, weight gain, and menstrual irregularities. In children...

We do it big here at Nelson's stomping ground!
Dr. Leen Antonio (UZ Leuven)!
She has collaborated with the heavyweights in the field Dr. Bhasin and Dr. Jasuja (Brigham and Women's Hospital)), Dr. Fiers and team (UZ Ghent) on research related to free testosterone.

One of the big boys in the field!
Dr. Anawalt!
Pay attention to the Q&A (43:20-56:30) especially when it comes to testing free testosterone!
43:20-46:27 - How do we assess for free testosterone?
* There's a direct antibody assay (IA) that measures free testosterone it is notoriously inaccurate and notoriously underestimates the true free testosterone as much as 30% so you should never use that but it is cheap, its easy, its quick so all labs offer it
