question from a user
Have been zeroing on some health issues and I recently got a Testosterone test of 301 ng/dl. As a very healthy male ( train 6x a week, track every calorie 3k a day,very clean keto-based, 0 caffeine, am 190lbs, 6'), would this be considered low T? Have had 24/7 fatigue, exhaustion, brain fog, and libido issues for the past three years.

You would be considered a patient for TRT based on your symptoms. We would want to talk with you to dive a bit deeper into them, but at a glance, yes.Men who are very driven can maintain high fitness levels with low T for them personally, it just means they have to work harder and deal with more fatigue.
This comes from a personal place for me, as I was out of shape before. I then got into shape and it took a lot of willpower. When I got on TRT after learning about it, I was a bit amazed at how much easier it was to maintain my fitness and how much more forgiving my diet could be if I had the same hormone balance as some other men.
