Just got my blood work back—how do I interpret these results?
The poster has received their initial blood work results and is looking for professional guidance on how to interpret the numbers in the context of starting TRT.
Interpreting blood work requires looking beyond just the total testosterone number; you must also evaluate free testosterone, SHBG, and estradiol to get a complete picture of your hormonal health. At HeydayMD, we emphasize that 'normal' lab ranges are often too broad, and we focus on how your specific levels correlate with your clinical symptoms. If your levels are borderline but your symptoms are severe, it may still warrant a conversation about treatment. Our clinical team can help you navigate these results to determine if you are a candidate for optimization.
