question from a user

Classic low T symptoms (38/m). Had total T come back at 281 and estradiol come back at 13.X. Thyroid tests all came back pretty good. No other hormones tested. Everything else on a CMP came back pretty good, lipids were actually great. Aside from free T, LH, SHBG, and cortisol, anything else you would want to see tested before deciding on next steps?

No, that is more than enough to begin treatment.

"Classic low T symptoms (38/m)" combined with those values, without any other known underlying condition would pretty confidently make you a TRT candidate.

Honestly the other lab results matter more after you've been on TRT for 8 weeks than before starting TRT. You should be perfectly fine to get started with someone.
