Anyone buy a Bedjet / 8Sleep pod?
Just ordered Bedjet, will buy the 8Sleep if it doesn't improve sleeping.
I've been waking up due to bed sweats for awhile now.

Damn you and your functioning balls!
I'm pretty sure my hypogonadism (and other problems) was caused by a bad head injury I suffered at 15. No way to really tell though

And I felt like an 80 year old in the gym, that's what made me get myself checked. I was making test so not totally shut down, just really diminished.
TRT helped a lot but the depression remained (which I also think stemmed from that incident)

^You have to request it specifically from your doctor.

Ahh.. so that one is different than the “ Reproductive and Gonadal Testosterone” level on a normal blood test?

It's literally called "testosterone" on the Lifelabs test.
Not sure if you're getting your LH (Luteinizing Hormone) and SBG (Sex Hormone Binding Globulin), which is tied to testosterone, but different.

Just did a blood panel, my test is 14.5 nmol/L
The acceptable range is 8.4-28.8 nmol/L so within the range but slightly on the lower side.

Probably not gonna consider it for another few years, especially if it's something you have to stay on forever once you start it.
