question from a user
I’m 44. I did a T test only. Came in at 385ng, I don’t know my free T. Although I’ve gained some muscle and lost weight, I’m finding it difficult to lose the rest of the weight. I think my T is low. I’ve been lifting and exercising 6 days a week. Opinions ?

The recommended cutoff for low testosterone is now 400 based on recent data. So your level of 385 along with symptoms qualifies you for treatment.
You would lose weight faster and gain muscle quicker once your testosterone level is optimiz
