question from a user

I've been reading a lot about trt. I’m about to turn 36, had a general testosterone blood test done within the last year that came back normal. Iv switched careers that will have me working night shifts so obviously concerned about tanking my test levels. I guess what am asking is when is a good time to get on trt and is it something I should seriously consider

If you've been having low Testosterone symptoms enough to research it, the likelihood is that you're probably a candidate. Do you remember what your Testosterone came back as? "Normal ranges" for Testosterone isn't always what it seems - The wide range was mostly made by insurance companies who make the most amount of money when they provide the least amount of care, so take that with a grain of salt.

Aging always lowers Testosterone, as will disruption to sleep quality.

The best time to get on TRT is when you have symptoms that are impacting you & when it could help. There's no hard line in the sand about starting too late or early.I'd say look into it, get some tests, & talk with professions who can give you a second opinion.
