Zyglamail, may I ask what your background is? Do you have any credentials on the subject of nutrition? Or are you just a well-read enthusiast? (Genuinely curious, not being a smarmy dickhead.)

In all fairness, the idea that doctors aren't all geniuses is an alien concept to many people. I used to hold doctors in extremely high regard and took their word as gospel. It was only until I became a lawyer and studied the field of medical malpractice did I realize the extent to which...

Any specifics or general guidelines you can recommend, in terms of nutrition? My diet is fairly balanced, as far as I can tell. (Fairly protein-heavy, as I'm trying to put on muscle.) And my bloodlabs didn't show any deficiencies. As far as supplements, I take fish oil, Vitamin D3, Iron, and...

For some reason, the endo didn't bother asking the lab to test my E2 levels until I asked him to, so the only E2 reading I have is from the most recent exam...which, as I said before, is 36 - which, from what I understand, is high-normal, but still normal.

Thanks stevesmi, I did read the article. Honestly, I'm not sure what holes I have left to plug. For the last six months, I've been slowly undergoing positive lifestyle changes - better sleep, exercise (mostly bodybuilding-style), nutrition, etc. The blood labs came back fine for everything...

My first post may have been confusing, that that 157 figure was from a blood draw taken exactly one month after the initial 350 mg injection, but just before he prescribed me weekly shots. So from what I understand, a low T level would be expected in this situation, since such a massive...

For the first bloodlab in September (before any T shots) it was 15, in a 10-57 range. He didn't test for it in the next two bloodlabs.

My story: 30-year-old male. After learning about low-T and its effects (all of which fit me perfectly - low libido, moodiness, anxiety, low motivation, difficulty concentrating, inability to put on lean muscle mass, etc.) I saw an endo this past September. My first visit, he gave me a shot of...
