Hey Guys i have been suffering from symptoms of low T for a while now and finally decided to do something about it. Just got my blood-work done (results below). i want to start with TRT but i am sacred to death about the side effects. For now can you please look at my results and tell me if i need TRT or can i clean this up with my diet. I am 6’1 and weigh 218 lbs? I am leaning towards injectibles as whatever research i have done they are the most cost effective option:
