39, Avid Weight Lifter, Total T 162

Looking for advice.

I asked my new GP to do blood test for testosterone because I've been crashing hard around 2 pm every day, brain fog, waking up half mast, taking longer and longer to recover from gym days even when I dial down the weight, etc.

My previous GP kind of laughed when I wanted it checked and wouldn't do it because I'm in pretty good shape. I don' think they have a clue about TRT or how to prescribe.

Cholesterol is good, RHR is 51. I'm 5'9 215 could be leaner but I'm not baw built, 34 waist, meal prep for high protein low carb. Total test came back 162 and I was shocked how low it was. And this was in the morning right after a workout, so that's probably about as high as it gets. Well surprise surprise, new GP says this is 'low end of normal' but doesn't want to treat it with anything.

My question to you all is, given my non existent T level, should I push hard to get prescribed TRT, try another GP or a T clinic, or try other routes first?

I ordered magnesium, boron, tongkat ali, to see how those do. Am I wasting my time trying to supplement given how low it is? Any other suggested solutions? If I do go T route, whats a good starting amount? Are peptides another option?

I'll hang up and listen.

ETA. Update on Pg. 3, prescribed 50 mg weekly.
