question from a user

My primary care provider had me rx at 1ML/200mg C every 2 weeks, but thankfully allows me to inject weekly (.5ml week). After 3 months my levels went from 280s to 515. Almost everything felt better. Finally my 5+ days a week in the gym does something. We agreed to increase dosage to 1.5ML/300mg (.75ml/week) with 700-800 levels as a goal (currently 1 month into this increased dosage). I've noticed some days I feel like death and others like normal. I've also lost some sensitivity/libido/etc. The only issue is my PCP said they only treat the main issue, low test. They do not test blood work for much other than just test and liver/kidneys/cholesterol/etc. No e2, SBHG, etc. I say all that to say I don't want to lose my insurance covered test, but I also need blood work to ensure my test isn't crashing/spiking estradiol levels or something else. Do you offer services in conjunction with people's PCP?

Yes, we do have a “coaching consultation” for men who are currently on TRT but struggling to get the care they need from their PCP. You can sign up for a consult and just mention you are seeking coaching in the comments section.
