question from a user
I'm interested in TRT, buy I'm on the fence if it's something I should be taking or not. I'm a fit mid thirty man, always been physically fit and active. I'm a police officer, and on SWAT which is physically demanding with an erratic sleep cycle. My diet is very good. I would consider my symptoms on the milder side: poor sleep, slightly lowering libido, maybe some more stomach fat (but quite minimal), irritable, lower energy, and dealing with a lot of injuries. I recently have started a low dose of pharma HGH (1.35IU ED). It has helped my sleep and my injuries. I recently got my bloodwork done and my T lvl was at 362. I'm all done with the kids, so I don't really care about fertility anymore.

Even more conservative protocols now utilize 350 ug/dL as the cut off to begin TRT. It already sounds like you are experiencing symptoms. HGH will work well for physical ailments like joint pain and recovery from injury, but it will do nothing for energy, mental focus, libido, or irritability. Those would likely improve with TRT in your case
