#LowTestosterine aka #LowT is a hot diagnosis these days.
I have consulted with many men who have "Low T" symptoms such as #Fatigue #LowEnergy #LowLibido #BrainFog #WeightGain etc.
They went to a hormone replacement doctor or clinic, had their #Testosterone checked by blood work (an incomplete test 100% of the time), and were told they had Low T and needed Testosterone replacement via injection, topical, pellet, and/or oral.
I caution the men out there not to jump on this bandwagon.
You MUST ASK WHY you have Low T...or better yet, whether you have it at all.
You can't know the answers to those two questions unless you have a COMPLETE workup.
You may have low T due to #BloodSugar issues, or #Aromatization that has gone awry, or #ChronicStress or #LiverIssues or #GutIssues
Taking testosterone without assessing these interconnected areas is like taking a pain killer without pulling the knife out of your hand.
