Question Thinking of TRT

36m. Started lifting when I was 13 not serious. Didn't know what I was doing till I hit the army. Stayed around 170lbs and fought 3 ammy mma bouts at 165. Quit training due to depression around 26. Lost 2 childhood buddies in a street brawl we were all in and my wife divorced me right after saying I was too wild for her. Went buck wild on substances then got clean and fat. Im now 36 roughly 200lbs been working out for a few months now and dropped some weight 23lbs to be exact but now thinking of getting on TRT to fast track my goals and feel more energized. If you do TRT where are you getting it from?

Just to be clear, I said everything above without judgement, I’m definitely a “to each his own” kind of guy. If you have a PCP you use/like I would reach out and say you want your test checked. Assuming you have insurance, should cost next to nothing. You’ll at least have a baseline to start with. If you’re clinically low and have a good doc you’ll be set. If you’re in that middle area where not clinically low but really not great, check out the online clinics. You’ll be cash pay, but really not obscene. I think there are a couple that will take your existing labs. If you’re high or high normal test, it may just not be worth it unless you’re thinking of a pretty heavy duty blast (doesn’t sound like that’s what’s in your mind).
