I have been very active my entire adult life.

Part of what really tipped me off was my energy before and after the gym was much lower than it used to be. Also I would be tired starting around 2 PM in the afternoon, this isn't sleep related as I sleep like a baby, which I am grateful for. Also I never drank coffee or took lots of caffeine so I was perplexed as to why I would just crater in the afternoons.

After starting the treatment I am no longer tired in the afternoons, my mind feels sharper and I can tell I am recalling processing info better. The energy at the gym has improved as well.

Are you under extreme stress? This is what induced mine, I was working at a very stressful Wall Street quant trading job at a major firm at the time.

Had a sleep study? Solved my testosterone problem.
