- Since I started doing videos on Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) with Dr. Osborn, I've had a lot of people ask me what my testosterone levels and dosage looks like - So, I had Dr Osborn pull up my original bloodwork when I first came to visit him when considering TRT and together we reviewed all my numbers as well as the subsequent visits where we made adjustments to dial things in. This video covers a lot of details on topics like SHBG (Sex Hormone Binding Globulin), Total Testosterone vs Free Testosterone, Testosterone Dosing, Estradiol/estrogenic effects like gyno, aromatase inhibitors, and the effects of stress (cortisol) on testosterone levels just to name a few.

Thank you James for being absolutely transparent. Your videos have always been helpful and informative! Much respect!
I've been struggling with this issue and TRT for about 3 years, this video and the previous is extremely informative. This video helped me to make some decisions to explore my options again.
Great video, there’s so much to take into account and this helps to shed some light on it.
James! Thank you for sharing! I will look at this some more in comparison to myself. I am 60, rebuilding my body! Almost 4 years on TRT.
DUDE thank you so much for posting this. Lots of insight for TRT and GREAT info
👊
Dr. Osborn is super. I’ve been a patient for 5 years . This video was a superb discussion and reminder why we pay attention to our blood work, energy etc. I like how he said that you must put in your 50%. It’s both sides really… the extra help w the T and the eating, sleeping and fitness.
If you need a doctor in order to check your own bloodwork you already failed ;)
I sit in front of docters, ask them questions and end up laughing at them
Where is Dr. Osborn located? Thanks 😊

That was a great informative video for TRT. Congratulations James for hitting your sweet spot of Total T at 703. You're a great example for all men on TRT!
Hey James! Thanks for being so transparent and motivational to a lot of us in the health and fitness world… You have great taste in guitars I see a Seagull headstock back there…. Very cool! Great hardware… all my best!
This was a very informative video. Easy to understand and makes absolute sense. Thanks for sharing 🦍👊
Great information James. Thanks for your insight. Stay well!
Thanks, you too!
im late to this video James - though this doctor and his brilliant attitude is needed in Australia.
James, you are an awesome person, thank you for your channel. You are the reason why I'm exercising with bands instead of weights and feel just great.
It's sad to see your channel doesn't have the following it deserves, but I hope I'll see more of you.
BANDS ?? 😂
Fantastic video James, I recently had my first blood test (to see what my test levels are like) and it was an eye opener, bottom range of normal and low free test but high end of normal SHGB. Definitely considering TRT and this video has been invaluable
another spineless unmanly man!
go ahead and take the drugs, destroy yourself even more than you already did
Great video with loads of info. Thanks
Wow being 51 this has been one of the most interesting and especially how I’m feeling and having a good insight now to speak with my doctor thank you 🙏🏻
Love this James. Been following you and your wife for years. And your always building your health. A1c is at 7. And with other meds test dropped besides feeling tired I hadn’t noticed trt going low. Started trt therapy a few weeks ago. Thanks for putting this info out
Trt going low?
Wrong
So how is your diabetes now I have diabetes and considering trt because I’m just dragging ass but afraid of side effects
I am in the same boat as James, although not near the lean muscle. I am a software developer and the last 2 years my Testosterone went from 605 to 450 and my ability to concentrate and motivation is in the toilet. I can sit at home on a Saturday and get little to nothing done. I am an active Crossfitter and I do enjoy working out and plenty strong and great body composition for a 56 yr old. I really want to have some giddy up as my first priority, Libido and muscle growth fat loss in that order. Thanks for being transparent, very helpful
Thanks for the honesty James👍👍
👊
Awesome video.Lots of good info.
Thanks. I am on testosterone and never got the amount of information that you covered. It helped explain some of the things I saw on my lab reports.
Glad it was helpful!
Here is another tip divide your weekly dose into EOD to have stable blood levels and minimal side effects.
Dude these 3 videos with dr osbourne have been exactly what i was looking for. Thank you and him very much. I just turned 30 and had my blood work recently done. i have a 357 Total T but other metrics are normal. Been feeling very groggy and unmotivated and i suspect thats why. I know i have a few things a in my life i have to optimize before even considering Trt but This is the knowledge i was searching for. my doctor said because said that because i fell in that 350-1000 range that im totally normal but i wasnt really buyin that since i was borderline. Thanks again man, Subb’d and looking forward to future vids!
Imagine how i feel at yr age with a 101 total.. scary.
Amazing. I started T two weeks ago and my numbers were almost EXACTLY the same as yours. Hoping I get the same results you have. Thanks for sharing this info.
So the one thing you’ll have to define for yourself is what results you expect. For me, because I have been training hard for so long (since ‘91) the TRT didn’t do a lot for physique (except when my levels briefly got too high). The results I was hoping for were centered around energy. I was really dragging at the time and that’s where the TRT made a huge difference.
This was highly informative. I recommend that every male get their bloodwork done, including testosterone and estrogen. Knowing this info will make your lives much easier. I've been pulling panels for the past four years ... I am 60 today ... incredibly helpful to me. Great job, James!
You should have made sure you never ever even had to check your bloodwork. When you are stupid or a unmanly unnatural man you will end up needing to check your blood because the blood is degenerated already. Pumping test into your system because you already failed is not going to fix it and make you a simple junkie
VERY informative, thank you for posting this.
Glad it was helpful!
Great information! Thanks James👊
Thank you!
Great video, very interesting as always! Thanks a lot brother!👍🏻
My pleasure!
Valuable info..thanks a lot..the only problem is that doctors, competent people that know what are talking about like Brett, are very few...
Maybe in the future he's considering opening a clinic in London,UK..i will pay him a visit for sure
Great content here 🙌🏼
Wow my bloodwork looks almost identical to your initial numbers. Especially the cortisol and glucose. This was super helpful in terms of figuring out if I should try TRT.
👌
I’m 43 and have been doing a lot of CZcams research on this subject. Have felt pretty shitty for a few years now. Gained quite a bit of weight and no drive. Seeing that this Dr is in Palm Beach area is awesome because I’m close. Need to setup an appointment with him. Thank you for this
Get in shape first so the treatment will have the greatest impact.
@@kingwillie206 get in shape and might not need it.
Maybe sleep better, higher fat diet training less
@@michaelclifford6468 - Every man needs it eventually if they want to feel the best and perform the best. Nobody beats Father Time no matter what they do, which is why these treatments exist. It gives people who have tried everything else an opportunity to regain some youth. When my libido drops and my energy levels drop due to age I’m heading straight to the clinic because I’ll be 48 this year and I know my time is short. Sylvester Stallone is 75 and still doing weighted pull-ups because he’s on the good stuff.
@@michaelclifford6468I am 42 and in great shape. Lift 3 hours a day. Sleep well. Eat really clean. Lost my libido completely 8 months ago.
I think I need TRT.
I am very impressed for being 185lb the size you carry. I'm on trts well for medical reasons for hyperlipedimia. I've had this for over 20 years! In 1 session, it was back to normal. TRT has been a game changer for me all around. I've been given a second chance. I've stopped drinking, smoking, etc.. TRT set back the clock at least 15 years.
Sir what is connection between trt and hyperlipidemia? I am also suffering through it since 11 years and due to that i had multiole episodes of pancreatitis(i dont drink though)
Good mature discussion. I’m nursing school and his understanding the of the science is spot on
A man with a Testosterone level of over 500 given 200 mg injections of Testosterone a week so he can get his levels over 1500. He will have to phlebotomize because his HCT is going to be dangerously high. Do u agree with 200 mg of Test a week in this case.
@@pm2007est oh for sure
@@pm2007est Yes, your Hct and Hgb count will go through the roof. Increased RBC count will increased risk of stroke and blood clots. You have to give blood at that point or risk self harm. I wouldn’t ever want my Test level to be higher than 900 for that reason. If body builders are doing it they probably have their labs being strictly monitored.
Excellent video, thank you
Great video very informative
Awesome information.
I love your content Mr Grage. You taught me how yo use bands. Thank you
Thank you! Glad to hear it!
Wow. How informative for someone on TRT.
I wish there were more doctors like Dr Osborn and easier for people to access them. I am 42 and energy levels suck most of the time. Its just expensive and insurance does nothing. I'm not trying to become jacked. Just want to feel energetic again without going broke
Totally agree with everything you said. Don't know anywhere around here that I feel I could get honest input with. I'm 43 and just want to have the energy again
Thanks so much for sharing your lab work. This is very helpful. Seems like you could have just started slower on smaller , more frequent doses without the AI and slowly increased from there until you found your best levels / symptoms/ bloodwork
Thank you. Great info.
Great video!
Great video. I do think you missed talking about how this is affecting your lipids, especially Apo-b and hdl. These inevitably can turn into bad values.
Awesome video. Great information.
I'm a natural bodybuilder, with a high haemoglobin and haematocrit, is donating blood something I should consider. Where I live, doctors arnt very clued up on this kind of stuff. Cheers
Thank you!! Great video 💪🙏👍
My pleasure!
You clearly have good genetics tho. Nice video I start my trt next week I have my consultation in a few days. Hopefully my doctor is as good as him.
Thanks my friend. I appreciate it. You know the conversation about genetics is an interesting one. If I hadn't worked out hard and consistently for the past 30+ years and didn't always watch what I eat, what would I look like - and would anyone ever say that I had good genetics? It's hard to say. There's a chance that I may look slightly better than someone else with the same lifestyle habits but probably not much different. Genetics is often an easy scapegoat for lifelong lifestyle habits.
James - and anyone that reads this - I’m 49 now (2022/March) and I have been feeling like chit since I was 38. For the next 5-7 years I tried to find out what was wrong with me and all my doctors that I visited said I was good. I didn’t have drive and could sleep for hours only to wake up to get back to sleep. After 45 years old I ran into issues like my appendix then COVID and just now - after all this time I get some answers to my questions thanks to you James. My man , I don’t think I will go on TRT but will be trying to maximize on what I have for this year but I will do a follow- up post in the future. 🙏🙏👌💪
Hey my friend. I hear you. I can personally attest to how lousy it feels to have so little energy. I’m the type of person that likes to move and get shit done so having low energy was a crappy feeling.
@@JamesGrage
I just appreciate and listening to your discriminations of what you were going thru clarified and solidified my thoughts of what could be wrong with me. 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Alway looking for ur next post as I am learning sooo much
Very interesting video!
Really enjoying videos and getting a lot of insight to TRT and good health. Do you know of a TRT specialist like your doctor in the Nashville TN area?
Commenting to follow thread.
I month ago Started Nebio 1000 mg for every 12 weeks. I just had a blood test today, but need to wait for result a couple days. Sleep improved a lot, strength improved, libido is same...but testis are sore..hence blood test...😁 I really appreciate this info what you put out for us. 👍👍
👊
Thanks! Very good information, this one and the past couple! Been very helpful. So question I have is about the ranges on the test, they seem to vary from region and facility. Do you think the doctor could speak on that and if certain testing facilities are good like labcorp or quest?
I can definitely ask him.
FYI - the ranges between labs don’t matter as much as some people think. The lab sets their “normal” ranges so that the result can be Interpreted correctly. So as long as you’re interpreting the lab result based on the normal range reported from that same company at the same time you got the test done then you’re fine.
In other words, the absolute numbers don’t matter as much as the result’s relation to the range.
For context I’m a clinical pharmacist and look at/interpret labs all day, every day so I know more than the average bear
Not since Rich Piana have I seen such a honest,to the point, break down of a hormone adjustment. You're much better than me Gage. If I shot T levels up, like yours did, i'd freak if I had to give blood to start over again. lol I'm a guy who doesn't do needles,vaccines, or even aspirin,well I took Tylenol all 4 times I had corona. That's it.
64 and probably negative T in my body. But I just keep fighting thru. i'm a candidate for sure. So a video like this, is certainly inevitable if if continue bow hunting with an 80 pound bow the next several years if I stay healthy. i'm gonna need a boost. 200 Mg was too much,so maybe like 25 mg,just a little boost. Might work for a guy like me who isn't into taking meds.
BTW love your content,and think you're fairly local to me in Palm Beach-Dade ? When I started back up in the gym when corona went down, I did the 20 reps thing to get range of motion,and restrengthen tendons etc. Got the tendonitis and your videos on it helped me immensely,the Doctor from the Dolphins ? Warm the body part up first before stretching it ? Turned my life around !! No bullshit. Shoulders were killing me. I bow hunt and shoot a ton of archery. It was the BICEP the whole time, not the rotator or labrum. I warm up good, and stretch,do a set, stretch again, and i'm good.
I know you don't like doing it, but i'd like to see how you handle and workout using heavier weight maxing @ 12 reps or so ? Seems many guys like John Means and even Jay Cutler, feel 12 is a good way to work the muscle ? 20-16-12 is sorta what i've started doing. When I was your age, I maxxed @ 8 reps,,,,,lol 8 reps was lite weight.
Appreciate it my friend.
Awesome video
Thanks for this James. I've been on TRT for over a decade, and my docs have NEVER been this clear and in-depth. Very useful.
Hey John. Glad it was helpful!
Great no BS video. Did you by chance have your cortisol levels tested? Curious as to what your AM cortisol was given what he referred to as the 'CEO profile'.
I feel exactly the same way James is describing how he is feeling in this video. The difference is that I live in Canada where the sun doesn't shine that much over the winter time and James lives in Florida where the weather and sun are suppose to benefit your health even during the winter months.
Same here. Seattle weather is shyt!
Get yourself some high strength vitamin d3 👌🏻
@@JoshRamplingRight I live in the PNW and I have to take 50,000 iu daily.
I was the same as far as my level is for being prediabetic. I just started my TRT protocol and hopefully within my next bloodwork I’ll be healthy again.
I really love your honesty about it and especially about the libido part because it's a very important one , so now you only take cypionate , nothing else , but how much growth hormones are you taking with it
Appreciate it my friend. Yes, cypionate is the only thing I take. I don't take growth hormone but I'm sure there are plenty of doctors that would give the thumbs up if it was done the right way (to optimize healthy normal levels).
@@JamesGrage - I had a consultation with Evolve and they recommended HCG to keep the nuts hanging and CJC 1295 to stimulate HGH secretion. I hadn’t had any blood work done, but that was the basic protocol.
@JamesGrage how much HCG and chlomid were you using?
@@JamesGrage how much HCG and chlomid were you using weekly?
so much info, i've learned a lot from this, thank you!
Anytime. Glad it was helpful
Thank you for the great info! I struggle with the AI and going to try finding my sweet spot dose to get off the AI. Also do you split your dose? So twice a week but split.
Thanks for all the info James, right on da money dude! Would 100mg of cyp/5days be ok with 3mg of triple boron (as boron citric acid/aspartic acid/glycine)?
Very informative Doctor! What state is this guys clinic in?
Excellent ❤😮😊
Thank you for the very informative video. TRT has it's merits, but I'm wondering why the good doctor did not try to stop your body from making so much cortisol so your body could product more testosterone naturally?
Thank you so much sir. I've been off trt for a year and I'm dead inside. Doctors just wanted to give me test. With no blood work I been to 3 different doctors and same thing. I stoped cold and I'm emotionally fucked and physically like shit. I'm calling Monday for appointment... thank you seriously
Whats your dose now ?
i wish i could see this guy for my DR
How we doing james
I have seen your videos and i want to start trt
Dr osborn is awesome
My free testosterone is 65 on low side , should i start for first time ?
Doc Osborn seems like one heck of a professional, I like his style
He is. Incredibly solid guy
Excellent video. This doctor definitely cares about his patients. I like many others enjoyed and reaped the benefits of TRT when I first started. That was short lived. Now I feel absolutely no benefits and I feel just as bad as I did before starting TRT. I've tried every protocol out there. Nothing has worked. Libido dead. Energy dead. Drive dead. Horrible. Tried countless endos and doctors. No one can fix it. Enjoy the honeymoon phase my friends, because after that, its gone forever.
That's so scary man. I hope things get better for you. I'm debating on weather to do this or go the enclomiphene citrate route. I'm scared of the sterilization that could happen with trt
@@LuisGonzalez-ip8jp thank you. I have two children and we aren’t looking to have anymore. HCG has been shown to work for conceiving. So you always have that option.
I just switched to one dose a week IM. Second week of this. I feel a little better but still no where near where I was originally. I’m not giving up.
When the doctor mentioned it’s a CEO profile, that really caught my attention. I had a same result profile and I was running a company too. He explains it so well exactly what makes it a CEO profile.
Great video, very helpful information.
Unfortunately i live in Czech Republic and it’s absolutely tabu to get TRT from our doctors.
They say that it is normal to have a feeling to have sex once per 14 days :-(
So then they don’t offer any possibilities how to improve that :-/
Very informative, thank you.
I'm in the UK and would like to visit a specialist in this area.
Do you have any contacts to help me in finding out the best company to use in North West England.
Thanks
Pretty darn informative. I’m doing TRT I’m on quite a bit older.
Obviously, you’re super cut up because I’m the same height as you but you look much bigger.
I’m in great shape, but I don’t look as big as you do.
I’m at 205 and I feel I could even get a bit bigger.
So my question is, do I need to lose more body fat?
I would like to get more cut, but it would take more sacrificing. I would have to really monitor my food intake.
I'm from New York City and I would love to meet a doctor like the one you're interviewing now. Do you have any recommendations or what type of doctor is the one that you're interviewing now?
our bloods look very similar , I had issues with my H/H , Learned to do things smarter.. We have exact MCV MCHC , RDW Platelets, ect... One thing i was curious on was your liver enzymes were a little high i believe? I may have got confused or got distracted. What was the reason for that to go up? And just to share my last blood test, i tried to lower my hematocrit and red bloods by taking a month of TRT.. Well I dont advise ever just stopping.. I felt great for the 1st 3 wks but by week 4, very tired, pale got sick with fever and just in a catabolic state.. My total test was 35 free was 0.1 and i thoght i ws reading the test wrong.. It def lowered my bloods into the 16 ng/dl for hemaglobin. but i did that on my own and when i went to the doc and we went over the bloods he was happy to see them lower.. and even said maybe stay off test and let the body come back.. Problem is , im 45 and the reason i went to him in the first place is cus my testosterone levels were low in the low 300s and Nope i wasnt messing with Gear prior. Its not an Looks thing for me either,its feeling great and being optimal im looking for.. So anyway im writing and doing 5 other things at once , so some of this may come out scattered, but this was a great video, thank you for sharing your blood work..
Bro science is much better than most docs on this subject.
Do you recommend battle ropes? Havent see a video with you using them?
How did you find your dr? I’m looking for someone with the knowledge and experience dealing with trt and fitness not just a urologist that my regular practitioner referred me to. How can I differentiate the two?
Wow!!! Great video, how much arimidex were you taking 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾 a week, it crushed my estrogen, I was taking 1mg a week split into 2 doses
It's been a long time so I can't remember but getting off that was one of the motivators for lowering my testosterone dosage. I didn't want to have to take Arimidex at all.
@@JamesGrage thanks for your reply 👊🏾
I was taking 1/2mg Arimidex every other day and did not cause any problems.
Hi James, you never explained how you were injecting.. was it subcutaneous or intermuscular? Also, how often were you injecting? Thank you.
I just started TRT a few weeks ago and was wondering if you guys tested your prolactin levels before starting. My level was a little high at
20.3 ng/mol and so, initially, my pharmacist disagreed with the diagnosis (even though my test scores were in the mid 200s). If my prolactin does not lower after my next round of bloodwork (in three months), then she will refuse the prescription until it is resolved. No one I've heard talk about TRT ever mentions this, so I am curious whether or not it was something tested for in your case. Thanks, Great Video. Shawn
High prolactin suppresses testosterone level. I had very high prolactin and had to have mri to rule out prolactinoma. I was on cabergoline to lower prolactin and did get it normal. Testosterone never got high enough and now on TRT at 160mgs per week. My levels range 700-900 now.
@Bryan Russell a few more questions for you...Was there any reason for the high level? Do you remember what level it was at? How long did you take the medication before you started TRT? What were your testosterone numbers before treatment for the high levels of prolactin?
My numbers were total test 327
Free test - 10
Was told all my numbers were normal , but have similar symptoms to you
James, it would be useful to learn the cost of your regimen for those on the lower end of the economic scale. I was on TRT for 13 years and felt amazing, unlike today with all the classic low T symptoms. I am super health conscious, but mental health is important as well. If we could get an idea of the ongoing cost with a competent knowledgable physician it would be very helpful. For some it might mean just tightening our belt in order to get a new lease on life.
I pay $40 for 10 weeks of testosterone and $12 for 10 weeks of anastrazole. Biannual doctor visits and blood work costs around $250 per year. Comes out to around $75 per month all in for the year.
Thanks! @@brandonj6548
Wish there was a clinic here in southeast michigan that was as knowledgeable as Dr.Osborn, I just had my blood work done and my test levels is now 199 and I just turned 50. Dr has referred me to a urologist, but I worry they will try to tell me its normal and I have to accept the depression like state im in.
When starting TRT, how long does it take for your body to completely shut down its own factory? I started two weeks ago at 100 mg per week and my numbers were over 800 test. Does that mean that my body is still making its own test in combination with the exogenous test I am injecting weekly? Also, I am doing this without HCG right now, just Test. Also, what are your feelings about taking TRT with Fadogia? I have heard that Fadogia Agrestis could help in preventing testicular atrophy.
My clinic stopped hcg for atrophy due to FDA. I went with Fadogia agrestis 800 mg which worked great first few months then effects wore off. What other options for atrophy?
Thanks James, very intesting. One question though: in your first 2 results (at 5:30 and 8:00), the Free T reference range is 6.8 to 21.5 pg/ml, while in the third result (at 12:40), it is 35 to 155, still pg/ml. What is this incoherence ?
As a side note, if the free T is to be 2% of total T, only the last range can be correct.
I saw in another comment from a pharmacist that the difference in ranges doesn't really matter, and we should just look at where we position relative to whatever range our lab has established. But still, this is disturbing to get a result which means our free T is 0.2% of total T...
Looks like he used Quest for 2nd labs like I used..
Wondering the same thing
i wanted to ask why did the doctor have you take aramotase inhibitor at the start of the 200mg injections.
Brilliant, did you look into the supplements to help you achieve your optimal health, protect your liver, my LDL are elevated.
Wow I'm 40 and I gave been feeling the way you describe and it sux I have all the symptoms as low t last time I had mine checked was over 10,yrs ago and it was in the 200s Dr wouldn't do shit they wanted to blame it on everything else so now my weight has went up no energy it horrible I have been looking at trt and trying to find the right Dr thanks for the video and some knowledge about trt
Enjoyed the video but I don’t think you mentioned anything about injection frequency. How many times a week are you injecting?
7:35 mind you the average in 1984-85 in men ages 22 to 32 was 1200. That range is something newer that the medical community adopted within the last 15 years or so. I take 170 mg every Wednesday and my resting T is 780ish. My medical team started at 50 mg and increased the dosing slowly on a monthly basis.
How long from when you got on trt to when this video was taken? Looking big bro
I feel how you felt all my life
Very interesting and informative! But don't you also need an alpha reductase inhibitor to reduce DHT because this also might rise significantly as a cause of rising Testosterone and leading to hairloss?
Or bind the 5AR with finasteride
Nope. Thats the whole idea behind TRT. Replacement only. The dose your taking will keep your test le else within the male range
Is it fair to say the Dr stopped his AI because of new information or a change of practice mind set?
Would have liked to ask him if he thought there can still be a benefit of AI for someone who is in the high range, no gyno but having ED issues? Great informative videos. Thanks
It depends on how high your estrogen level is and how you feel. If it's in rage there is no benefit to taking an AI. Estrogen is needed for good cardiovascular health a d brain health I forgot to add Estrogen is needed for mens libido. From experience as long as your estradiol stays below 70 your good
Why would I block estradiol? It’s cardiac protective. I didn’t block it in my teens and 20’s. There is no study showing a phlebotomy helps. Again, we didn’t do that when we were at our highest levels naturally. Is there a study showing these 2 issues?
How do you measure so accurately into the syringe (120, 130, 150)? I take .75 cc each week but it could be .7 or .8.
Its 700 on the lowest stage on TRT, for a 7 day pinning. Curious what it is at its peak. Usually 48 hours after pinning then gradually descending. I pin EOD because at once a week, I was crashing after day 6.
Yeah, It's hard to say becasue if you look at it it seems clear that its a peak and valley effect, but..after several weeks the wave pattern does get flattened out. If you were at zero on last day, then you would just get the same wave pattern, but you get more and more overlap as weeks go by.
What dosage per day or per week?
@@mikearonson1071 I do 0.25 every other day. Tried once a week. Didn't like the crash. Did twice a week 0.4 and as well, but notice the trend is microdosing eod. Less peaks and troughs. Everyones different though. Need to find what works best for you.
I tested my T a few days ago and my total testosterone is 13,95 nmol/L and my free testosterone is 18,6 pg/mL. Is this too low and what should I do? I'm 37 yo and fairly active (run frequently, a few half marathon races per year)
I need a guy like this in the UK 🇬🇧
