question from a user
36 y/o morbidly obese male total testosterone is 107 and free is 26.1. Should I lose weight first or should I combine my new lifestyle (losing weight) with a TRT treatment?
AlphaMD's Answer
You will lose weight much faster with TRT than without. You will have more energy and motivation to do workouts, recover quicker with less muscle soreness, and have the benefit of a higher basal metabolic rate. There is no risk to starting TRT while obese other than a higher potential for additional aromatization (elevated estrogen), which can easily be managed.
