TRT physician in Canada?

[Smallfry69]

I live in BC and it's impossible to find a doctor that specializes in men's hormonal levels. My GP (female) is great and readily gets me tests or refers me for treatment, however I recently requested a full bloodwork panel that included my t-levels. I'm 55 so I recognize the importance of knowing what your levels are and ideally at 45 or 50 I would have requested this to establish a baseline. When I specifically asked to get my t-levels tested, she said "even if it's low we don't do anything about it - it's a fact of aging".

I'm sorry, but they give out TRT for women at the drop of a hat but men are supposed to suffer?

My Thyroid function (TSH) was 2.87 (recommended range they provide is 0.32 (nearly dead) to 5.04), so I'm right in the middle.
My Test was 22.5 nmol/L (recommended range of 8.4 (you better be dead) to 28.8) so I'm at the high-end of the mid-range.

But is this really normal for a 55 year old? Ideally I'd like to find a TRT specialist that isn't afraid to work with me to bump my t-levels up close to 28.8.

I'm curious to know if anyone has found someone who works in this field in Canada and isn't afraid to prescribe Test? If so, did you need a referral (good luck as my GP says "nothing can be done" about low-t levels).

@Smallfry69 welcome to the EVO family! happy to have you here to discuss this.

Many men have an issue getting TRT from Canada or Australia, its a real shame men get the short hand.

We have CA sources domestic: https://www.evolutionary.org/forums/forums/canada-approved-sources.254/

My suggestion is you do self TRT, just get a bottle of Test and do the TRT yourself, but you do understand us recommending you do TRT is not responsible without knowing more about you?
You need to share with the EVO family, share what? share your current training diet LOG journal in a NEW thread so we can see your situation and bloods and guide you into a proper TRT.

To really guide you we need more info, we need you to share your diet, training, cardio, sleep, supplements etc log with us, full log journal so our guidance is based on facts you provide.

If you want us to really guide you, and we have 100s of years of experience between us, you need to post a LOG Journal with your stats (weight,height,age, years training, cycle history) diet, training, cardio, supplement, sleep details. If you don't log what you eat or train now, open NOTES on phone and start recording it there and paste here. Very easy.

Please post a Log Journal asap for us

first off being negative doesn't solve a thing. the doctor has your best interest at heart as that is their job. too many people hop on trt when they have no business doing it and ruin it for the people who do need it. similar to pain pills, so some docs are apprehensive about it. trt is for life man, its no joke or just something any doctor should just write you a script for. in the USA it is way too easy to get it, they are even giving trt to 22 year olds who are depressed or have low libido which is silly

having said that we have several canadian dudes on here who will guide you on what to do. and you can always do self trt
