question from a user
I’m 44. I did a T test only. Came in at 385ng, I don’t know my free T. Although I’ve gained some muscle and lost weight, I’m finding it difficult to lose the rest of the weight. I think my T is low. I’ve been lifting and exercising 6 days a week. Opinions ?
AlphaMD's Answer
The recommended cutoff for low testosterone is now 400 based on recent data. So a level of 385 along with symptoms is the kind of picture a licensed provider would weigh when evaluating whether treatment makes sense for you.
Many men find weight loss and muscle gain come easier once their testosterone level is optimiz
