Over the past several years I’ve had a decline in motivation, been harder to keep weight off, brain fog.
I asked my internist to check my testosterone. He refused. Told me I’ll definitely be within normal range, and it’s a waste of money.
I found an HRT clinic. They sent my blood to LabCorp. My test results don’t seem to be exactly the same as some others have posted, but I’ll include all of the results. Am I on the right track?
