Were things better earlier? Things were definitley better a year and a half ago
More hair before? Not really. I feel like I never completed puberty and got all my hair (my brothers and father have much more)
Hello all,
I apologize if I seem nieve, but I am extremely lost and concerned, and am looking for any help or information. Anyways, I believe that over the past two years I was overtraining/under-recovering, which eventually resulted in me having low testosterone. I have had multiple blood tests to confirm this (will attach some relevant blood work below). As a result, I took a month off of training entirely, in October, and since have been doing significantly less volume/intensity training, in order to recover. In that month off, my symptoms of low t and overtraining noticeably improved (mood, libido, energy), but they still are not optimal. I am looking to figure out if my low t I have is still being caused by overtraining, or if there is another reason that myself and my md’s are missing. I am desperate to increase my testosterone levels, but do not want to do any sort of HRT because a) I am 19 years old, and b) I have ambitions to join the military, which does not allow any sort of HRT. Any help or information regarding my situation/bloodwork is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance
