Default Re: Testosterone Question

What is your Free T level (and the normal range too)? IIRC, Free T is a more important than Total T. Obese men esp. can have ~normal Free T and below normal Total T. Also, what is your Estradiol level?

If I were you, I'd go on an extended low cal diet before I messed with Hormone Replacement. Fat aromatizes testosterone to estradiol--causing low T levels even if you're producing enough and high estradiol levels. Even if you take exogenous T, your fat will still aromatize T to estradiol.

It's probably not what you want to hear, but you need to man up and lose fat. At this point it's tough to determine whether obesity is causing your low T or vice versa.
