Hi guys,
I've just had some blood tests done & my testosterone is through the floor at 2.1. I've never taken PEDs and don't intend to so I'm wondering if anyone's ever successfully raised their T levels from this low.
Context: Running about 5 years & mostly targeting 5k/XC during that time. I ran 80mpw during this past winter season and was coping well but in hindsight I think it was a big cause. I initially discovered my low T through unrelated testing about 3 months ago which came in at 2.9 and shortly thereafter got posterior tibialis tendonitis & took 6 weeks completely off running. During that time I was doing lots of strength, some cycling and focusing on diet (I'm vegan & largely whole foods) i.e. incorporating lots of monosaturated fats, vit d, ashwaganda, zinc, magnesium, fadogia agrestis, maca root, boron, tongkat ali
My T levels went back up to 8.1 during that time and then after 6 weeks I started jogging again & my mileage is up to ~40mpw. So I thought all was going well but I've just gotten retested and came in with 2.1 so I'm stumped as to what I can do to help this
