question from a user

650 TT and 85 free T. I have brain fog, fatigued all of the time, low energy, etc. All of this gets worse as the day goes on. The doctor I visited thinks I would benefit from TRT - but I’ve been hesitant to try since my total T isn’t close to below the 300 mark.

It's a good sign that doctor is onboard already. With good TRT, the symptoms really do matter more so I wouldn't let the numbers hold you back.

One thing to remember if you're feeling hesitant due to relative hypogonadal numbers is; Your Testosterone was *always* higher in the past. Your max possible production always goes down with age, so whatever you are now, you were higher before. It is still logical to try TRT if your symptoms match even with those numbers, and we have worked with many people at that level before.

Just make sure whoever you work with understands that since you have a higher baseline production you will need a higher dose to see benefits.
