im 28 and probably secundary hypo with pituitary adenoma. endos protocols are shitty around here and im going to keep doing my research and learning much more about hormones before i join the trt club. I will also try my best to find a good specialist (either defy, endo or neuro) that understands my situation and help me recover properly. which books or sites do you guys recommend (obv other than this one). i don't want to just focus on testosterone. i also want to learn much more about e2, shbg, thyroid, etc.
 
Get a few good books and educate yourself now:
1. Get Nelsons book "Testosterone: A Man’s Guide".
2. Get Lee Myer's book "Natural Versus Testosterone Therapy".
3. Get “Testosterone for life - Dr. Abraham Morgentaller “.
4. Get “The Definitive Testosterone Replacement Therapy MANual: How to Optimize Your Testosterone For Lifelong Health And Happiness” by Jay Campbell.
These books will give you a much better understanding of TRT....

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
