exceed safe thresholds within one year on TRT

Core Labs & Their Purpose

Total Testosterone

Measures: All circulating testosterone (bound + free).

Why It Matters: Confirms deficiency (<300 ng/dL) and guides dosing to target (500–900 ng/dL).

Statistic: 38.7% of men ≥45 have Total T <300 ng/dL at baseline.

Vitality and Wellbeing by Total T Level

Deficient Suboptimal Optimal Potentially Elevated

Current level: 650 ng/dL

Optimization Status: Optimal

Free Testosterone

Measures: Unbound, bioactive testosterone available to tissues.

Why It Matters: Total T can be normal even when Free T <50 pg/mL, causing lingering symptoms.

CBC with Hematocrit

Measures: Hct (%) and Hgb (g/dL).

Why It Matters: TRT stimulates red cell production; Hct >54% (Hgb >18.5) raises clot risk. Nearly half of men on TRT exceed thresholds within one year.

Metabolic Panel

Measures: AST/ALT, creatinine, electrolytes, glucose.

Why It Matters: Prevents unnoticed liver or kidney injury from high-dose TRT.

Lipid Panel

Measures: HDL, LDL, triglycerides.

Why It Matters: TRT may lower HDL by up to 10% and alter LDL/TG, impacting cardiovascular risk.

Estradiol (E₂)

Measures: Circulating estrogen (pg/mL).

Why It Matters: E₂ >30 pg/mL causes gynecomastia and mood swings; E₂ <10 pg/mL impairs bone health and libido.

PSA Monitoring

Measures: PSA level (ng/mL).

Why It Matters: TRT can accelerate prostate growth. PSA >4.0 (or >3.0 in high-risk men) warrants urology evaluation.

Additional Optimization Labs

SHBG

Controls how much testosterone is "free" and available to tissues. Low SHBG may require more frequent dosing.

LH

Luteinizing Hormone signals testes to produce testosterone. Suppressed on TRT, monitored for recovery potential.

FSH

Follicle Stimulating Hormone drives sperm production. Critical for fertility planning during TRT.

Thyroid Panel

TSH, Free T₄, T₃ assess metabolic rate. Thyroid dysfunction mimics low T symptoms and affects TRT response.

Cortisol

Stress hormone that can counteract testosterone benefits. High cortisol reduces TRT effectiveness.

DHEA-S

Adrenal hormone that declines with age. Supplementation can optimize energy, mood and libido alongside TRT.

Risks Prevented by Vigilant Monitoring

Polycythemia & Thrombosis

How we intervene: Therapeutic phlebotomy, dose adjustment, or donation-based blood removal when Hct exceeds 52%.

Estrogen Effects

How we intervene: Selective aromatase inhibitors to balance estradiol when levels exceed optimal range.

Hepatic/Renal Strain

How we intervene: Dose and delivery method adjustments to minimize liver and kidney stress.

Prostate Safety

How we intervene: Urological referral for PSA velocity >0.75 ng/mL/year or absolute level >4.0 ng/mL.

Fertility Preservation

How we intervene: hCG co-therapy to maintain testicular function and spermatogenesis during TRT.

Bone & Metabolic Support

How we intervene: Balanced estradiol optimization prevents bone density loss and metabolic dysfunction.

All core and optimization labs are included—no hidden fees. Your data drives your dose, ensuring safe, effective, and personalized TRT.
