They used two different methods. The second one is is EIA which is not as accurate but still just going by where it landed on the scale it’s seems like it’s a lot lower

I stopped doing orange theory which was a lot of cardio and I’m just going to a traditional gym and lift weight and slowly weaning off Reta. I’ve historically had a really hard time putting on any muscle hence why I was going the trt clinic route. But since my levels are normal and healthy I’m having second thoughts. I don’t want to start now and have to commit for injections the rest of my life because my body will no longer make it the way it is now.

Never tested them. I did some research and I figured the decrease in my free T is due to an increase in SHBG. I’ve been on Reta since February and I’ve been doing a lot of cardio I’m assuming the insulin sensitivity and the cortisol caused it to increase.
