    Hi Kuba, firstly congrats on an epic showing…wonderful to see so much progress!

    My question is, what sleep tracking app are you currently using?

    Oura ring. I use it more for accountability with sleep timing etc nothing more I wouldn’t go off that solely. Asses how you feel when you wake up first before you just go off the reading, I must admit it’s pretty accurate tho. [/quote]
    Thankyou ?

    Its true that low testosterone correlates with lethargy, low-libido, fat gain, poor exercise recovery and depression. However, testosterone levels themselves can be lowered by severe lack of sleep and/or severe psychological stress and/or severe over-training and/or malnutrition. And each of these stressors can independently cause all of the symptoms of low testosterone, irrespective of the testosterone level. So when a stressed out, burned out, over-trained and malnourished patient tests with low testosterone, you shouldn’t need a PhD in biochemistry to realise that the testosterone is probably not the root cause of their problems or symptoms. The obvious solution is to improve your mental health, reduce the stress, over work, overtraining and malnourishment.
    The problem is your life, your diet and/or your training. 6 months down the track when these problems still exist, you’ll realise that you’ve now dug yourself an even bigger hole with going on HRT and that the problem is still there

    This would all be true if you new anything abt his life lolol

    How about asking him if he has worked on improving all of this stuff.

    Instead of presuming he hasn’t ?‍♂️?‍♂️[/quote]Did you even read my first post in the thread? ??

    Maybe, J isn’t aware of the implications these factors have on T levels (just taking a guess here due to his response to my question asked in ‘my first post’….the one you missed.)

    Can you elaborate on why you wish to head down the route of HRT? You’re 20 years old…
