I think we first need focus on why lab ranges were established to begin with and not just apply them as the gospel until proven otherwise. Therefore, I don’t think the burden of proof is on me to establish why 800 ng/dl is superior to 300 ng/dl (nor is it on you to say the opposite).

We’ll wait for them to come here and prove it then.

I have a lot of guys come to me asking if they should get on TRT. When I ask what their T levels are, they almost always tell me they haven’t checked.

So you’re right. People have false expectations and try to label all these random symptoms as low testosterone. It could be that, or it could be many other things.

“Test (as in your levels), don’t guess” is a saying I like to use.

Part of the blame is on bodybuilders and gym rats who claim to be on TRT when they’re on a legitimate steroid cycle. Claiming TRT these days is the new “I’m natural.”

This rings true to me, although I don’t know anything about testosterone.

When I went to a progressive clinic at 40 and complained of my fatigue, they immediately said you are going through menopause and you need to be on xyz hormones immediately. Fast forward… they were obviously wrong because I went through menopause 17 years later, but it was what they were selling…
