It's no more an old man's disease than cancer or diabetes. It can hit anyone, and injuries or other diseases/medications can trigger it.

Obviously, they won't make any money off just the coupon deal; but it might be worth it just for the test and consult. Guess it might be a smack in the head if you had many of the symptoms, but DIDN'T have low T. I'm guessing they would find SOMEthing they could treat.

I am 32, had levels around 200.

Sleep apnea was a major cause, also some extra weight.

Been on androgel and a sleep mask for a year now.

Levels are near 1000 and I have never felt better.

Working out five days a week now.

I just went to see my regular doctor, he offered injectables or the androgel which is applied on the shoulders. The latter is easier for me.

I listened to this NPR episode last year and found it very interesting:
Testosterone, The Biggest Men's Health Craze Since Viagra, May Be Risky : Shots - Health News : NPR

Perhaps you just need a new endocrinologist? I would be very learly of these Low-T clinics, I firmly believe they are most interested in making money. One would think an endocrinologist specializes in this area and is more interested in proper treatment rather than making money off you.

Well, in the sense that, young men are perhaps more likely to be gullible, I suppose you're right. -Ben Gettinany

So what's the difference between an anti-aging clinic and someone loading on steroids/HGH/IGF...aren't they are the same thing and both could be monitored by a doctor...it's just this is a legit way of doing it (and likely not at extreme dosage)?

Anyone over the age of 30 can be considered a candidate as T levels drop after 30 and there are ways to lower T prior to testing.

Really would like to hear from a Doctor about it. I've been around the bodybuilding scene so I know all about the performing enhancing game. Even the self-injecting that you are all talking about sounds like juicing.

Are they getting you at "natural" T levels or are they pumping you over the natural baseline? 1000 would put you near teenage levels. How much is this stuff costing you?
