Episode notes
Ditch Once-Weekly Injections
- Avoid once-a-week testosterone cypionate injections because they create large hormonal swings and side effects.
- Use divided dosing (daily, every-other-day, or at least twice weekly) to keep testosterone levels stable.
Top-Range Often Isn’t Optimal
- Optimal testosterone often lies well above the top quartile of reference ranges for many men, sometimes up to double the top range.
- Providers frequently under-dose, leaving men suboptimally treated even if labs look 'in range'.
Run Broader Baseline Labs
- Order broad, comprehensive testing beyond just total testosterone and CBC to find root causes of symptoms.
- Check thyroid, DHEA, liver markers and other hormones to expand the levers you can adjust.
