Thought Test was Low, but TSH was High

I don’t think Dr. Abraham Morgentaler is considered bro science which is what I based my recommendation on.

Again you fail to set any specific freeT levels into the context of the reference range.

1. I have never seen any specific recommendation regarding a target for a freeT from him in any scientific publications.

2. if there was such a target of 15 ng/dL than it’s in the context of a different ref range. The ref range for calc freeT according to Vermeulen is 5 to 25 ng/dL and numerous studies demonstrated that a calc freeT of 12 is just normal average for young lean and healthy men.

Example of elite athletes

TRT Facts - Beyond Bro-Science

TT and fT levels of over 1000 elite track and field athletes. Mean TT was 15.6 nmol/l (450 ng/dl), mean freeT was 9.8 ng/dl. 25% of elite athletes had TT levels of less than 360 ng/dl and 25% had higher TT levels than 570 ng/dl. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/318195723_Serum_androgen_levels_and_their_relation_to_performance_in_track_and_field_Mass_spectrometry_results_from_2127_observations_in_male_and_female_elite_athletes

3. if at a calc freeT of 12 ng/dl TRT is recommended than 50% of young healthy men would be on TRT, which is ridiculous
