Testosterone in Men over 30
Posted on 1/17/22 at 11:57 am
Posted on 1/17/22 at 11:57 am
I’m 37
I’ve recently been looking into testosterone levels. I’ve watched a few videos with doctors talking about how sperm counts and testosterone have dropped significantly in men since the 1950’s. Sperm counts are down 50%. I can’t remember the testosterone drop percentage.
My female PCP says they looked normal. Is that normal by 2020 standards? She was worried about my weight at 183 at 6 feet. That’s normal. The acceptance of normal now is 10-15 pounds overweight it seems (as Americans get fatter and fatter). So I’m wondering if the same effect is going on.
Low Testosterone
Red flag symptoms:
Low sex drive
Difficulty with erection
Low sperm count
Unexplained loss of hair
Hot flashes
Low bone density
Additional signs:
Testicular atrophy (changes in testes)
Diminished lean muscle mass
Increased body fat
Elevated hemoglobin A1c
Osteopenia or low trauma bone fracture
Problems sleeping (insomnia)
Fatigue
Difficulty concentrating (brain fog)
Lack of motivation, depression
Here is my blood test results and would like some doctors to weigh in (as well as others who have done tests). It seems low in some areas, especially researching charts on the internet on what levels it should be.
What do you think? What’s the best, safest way to boost your testosterone levels? I see there are doctors on the internet who administer through telehealth, but there are side effects to therapies as well.
I think this is something that is affecting all men.

The shots and/or seed will cause prostate cancer. Don’t do it.

first off at 37, 476 is well within range for your age and in no way low. Your free test is a tad low but not bad.
1) this is a snap shot in time. if you are really concerned with it, you need to get atleast 2 more test and develop some trend lines.
2) you dont want to go on test unless you have to. It sounds cool and all but after a couple years...the shots suck dick. and its a lifetime decision. you either need trt or you dont, its not a steroid cycle where you come off and one. I have been on for close to 7 years now and i can promise the shots suck major donkey dick now.
3) if you looking to increase your test do the folloing
-starting eating a diet that is high in protein and contains suffecient red meat and fat.
- eat a diet that allows you to lose some body fat
- start lifting weights
-cut alcohol
-get 8 hours of sleep every night
-get 10k steps in daily.
if you are not doing those things....then stop looking for an easy way out.
FTR: soy does not cause increased estrogen nor decreased test. new studies prove that....its still disgusting though.
you have no clue wtf you are talking about. zero. if you are just replacing your test it is no different that normal test. sure if you take doses that put you well out of range their is a whole host of potential side effects but even those with just bio identical test is very limited.
quite spreadign shite you have no clue on.

Work out hard 4-5 days a week
Eat red meat, eggs and spinach
Drink milk
Beat off regularly
Guys should be doing this stuff already

Baw, there's a whole TRT thread on the health and fitness board. Good info there
Posted on 1/17/22 at 12:17 pm to xxTIMMYxx
Look into Ashwagandha root.

First mistake was going to your doctor. Come to OT first for any health concerns.
That being said, pics of doctor?

Lift weights, supplement Zinc and Magnesium, eat more red meat. All proven ways to increase free testosterone.

You might want to find a new doctor.

People keep saying this, but I haven't seen anything validated with numbers yet.
Your numbers seem fine enough, but are you having any symptoms? Did you get a thyroid panel too?

I had my bloodwork done last week. I'm almost 45 and my Test is 405. Not to bad for an old fart.

I recently took the same test, I added my numbers to your* test results:
*Those are Rookie Numbers brah, you gotta get them up.

Same age. I cut processed carbs, alcohol. prioritized sleep. Went in hard on basic heavy lifts, and feel like a completely different person.
It's hard to recognize how terrible you feel all the time until you feel good after 2-3 weeks without the trash.
For a month: Stop eating by 6pm.
Squats, bench, deadlifts, sauna.
Minimal "vanity muscle" workouts, just the big ones, large muscle groups.
Then go get your levels checked again.
