As predicted many athletes have been using the TRT loophole too increase testosterone levels to help increase recovery, train more intensely,longer etc etc
563ng/dl is not low. Not even close to being low for treatment of TRT for hypogonadism where the testes no longer produce sufficient test levels too function properly.
A level of 563ng/dl is perfectly in range considering total testosterone ranges from 250-1100ng/dl on average. A teenager to 21yr old man will most likely test for the upper range at 800+ng/dl.
A 70+yr old will most likely test for the lower range 300ng/dl or lower. Not always but on average.
So Petersons test level prior too TRT use was perfectly healthy.Bear in mind high endurance training does metabolize testosterone quicker than the norm.
His free testosterone looks at the bottom of the range but thats due to high SHBG levels not due too hypogonadism.All one does is lower the SHBG level and the free testosterone levels will increase and become unbound and bioavailable.
Even your run of the mill average joe bodybuilder will know how to decrease SHBG levels so this doctor hasnt a clue in endocrinology.
