Anyone out there into the men's-health/testosterone replacement game: PM me for a question.

Title says it all.
I got a phone call from a buddy tonight.
45 year old male. Healthy. Is taking testosterone for "energy/quality of life" things.
He's a muggle; but he's a VERY smart muggle.
He asked me to opine on things related to test results, numbers/ranges, etc.
I told him: "I have no idea, but I'll research it for you."
If anyone out there really knows what they're doing with regard to this topic, please shoot me a PM.
You guys all know me - this ain't an ad, spam, or whatever.

Partnered with a clinic. DM me. No BS. If I don’t know, I’ll find out or tell you straight up.

I've been on it for 17 years but that doesn't really make me an expert. I try to keep my levels reasonable. I've never required blood donation or aromatase inhibitors such as anastrozole. I've also been under the care of 3 endo docs who felt the same way. My pt's and friends that go to the men's health clinics seem to be receiving super high testosterone doses combined with aromatase inhibitors. I can't think of any normal dude that should need 200mg of test cyp on a weekly basis. All that being said, I'm no expert in TRT.

200 mg pharm grade test enanthate/cyp will def put a man over ref/physiologic range, requiring AI. Grey region of “enhancement.”

Most of us PCPs do some of this, but we typically follow the evidenced based guidelines and if you do that you won't be able to run a successful practice doing just that.

What’s the percent of men who go to these clinics that don’t get a prescription? My guess is it’s exceedingly low. That tells me most of what I need to know.

I had a 19 year old patient go to one and he was given a prescription for testosterone 100mg 2X/week, HCG, and arimidex.

His testosterone level to justify this? 500.
