question from a user
What about someone with low t, low free with no real symptoms except insulin sensitivity, stubborn body fat, strong but hard to put on visible muscle… Great sex life, libido, full set of hair. Not worth it? Numbers in the 200s….44m - blood tests haven’t moved in 2.5 years with attempting improvements in all areas including sleep, diet, strength, etc

It sounds like you have all your lifestyle factors dialed in and yet still have low T. The only way to know if it will work is to try it. HCG monotherapy carries low risk, so maybe doing a therapeutic trial would make sense in your case. It doesn’t work for everyone though. It has little to no effect on those with primary hypogonadism, so getting your LH level tested may be a wise next step.
