I also forgot to say this earlier. But, insurance companies, lab draw companies along with Pharm companies are all in bed together for a nice 3 some love fest. Use testosterone for example. 10 years ago the reference range was 300 to 1200. Now the reference range is 250 - 827. When I asked the Dr last year what’s happening with the test results, he said, the insurance companies don’t want to pay for TRT so they’ve changed the testing and make the tests extremely sensitive so they don’t have to pay. Which is also insane because if you used to use say 200mgs/wk a few years ago, you’d test around 600, with that same test now you test at 1600. It’s all about money and not about health and that person.
