Increasing Testosterone naturally - 36 year old male
Just got bloodwork back and my total testosterone came back at 6.9 nmol/L, which I gather is low (normal range is usually something like 8-30 nmol/L depending on the lab). I'm currently overweight sitting at 122kg with an obese BMI.
I know weight and low T are linked but I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed about where to start. A few questions for anyone who's been through this:
- Is weight loss alone likely to move the needle much?
- Did your doctor want to investigate why your T is low (pituitary, thyroid, etc.) before just treating the number?
- What were the actual "low hanging fruit" changes you made first — sleep, alcohol, diet, resistance training?
Appreciate any advice here. thank you!
