While TRT is a powerful tool for improving body composition, it isn't a magic weight loss pill; it primarily helps by increasing muscle mass and metabolic rate, which can sometimes cause the scale to stall even as fat is lost. If you're struggling with stubborn adiposity, the clinical team at HeydayMD often looks at metabolic health markers beyond just testosterone, such as insulin sensitivity and thyroid function. In some cases, combining TRT with lifestyle interventions or even medical weight loss options can help break through a plateau. It's essential to ensure your protocol is optimized and that you're maintaining a caloric deficit to see the best results.
