@goingforgold yes I understand testicles produce test but if they genetically function at a very poor or low rate it can have huge impacts on your life like gaining muscle. With pe, but more importantly with just overall happiness and mood energy and very important parts of your life

Well 315 is fine if you are 70 years old . If you are 50Y or less I would be looking for significant improvement.
How is your sexual function?
Energy level ? Mood.?

Look to be honest a good minimum for a guy say 40 y is 500 . Less than that there always seems to issues . A doc might say nothing unusual about depression and hey everyone says they are tired etc . Me I say you should be looking for good quality of life .
First thing to look at is if some underlying issue is causing low test ,for example sleep apnoea .
You might consider a new doc that is more up on this issue.

This response by Peg is packed with wisdom, speaking from personal experience.
You can research the strong relationship between Sleep Apnea and ED

Heed the advice is what I say.

I got my thyroid panel it shows T4(thyroxine). Total 6.5. Reference range 4.5-12(mcg/dl)

T3 uptake 33 reference range 22-35 percent

Free t4 index (t7). 2.1. Reference range 1.4-3.8

What does this test mean it says thyroid panel and what do the numbers mean I tried googling and reading up on what they may mean but can't really fully understand it

This would be a better question for your doctor, but from appearances the data you listed shows you to be within normal ranges.

I left a voice mail I just want to have some understanding of what the results mean and what the names mean so I can have a better time talking to my doctor and know the right questions to ask

That's a wise decision

Unfortunate with some things some docs don't know as much as they should .

The classic for this is total testosterone the normal range is badly set . My gp talks in terms of preferred range and is basically looking over 500 and I am 56y . We get many guys onsite whose doc claims their test is "normal" when it is sub 300 and they may be in their 20's.

So how should I go about talking to my doctor what should I bring up and discuss. I can't push my intentions and beliefs if he says it's normal I want to be able to say no and this is why I disagree x, y, and z reasons

Many of these are BS and it looks like you scrubbed the internet to put out a Top 100 list to get PEGym bonus points.
As a personal trainer I will say this, do NOT try to get rid of estrogen completely from your body.
Very low estrogen (a deficiency, I mean) contributes to a decrease in sexual function.
Men need this hormone too!

As a trainer it sounds like you might have some knowledge to add to the forum. So don't discredit yourself by accusing PEGym of doing something. We are posters just like you sharing information just like you. PEGym is not a poster. So please share your information without trying to discredit the format where we share information.

What do youbsuggest? Leave estrogen alone but build testosterone as much as possible? If so how?
