“I went to my primary care provider and asked to have my testosterone tested. He checked my total testosterone, and it came back at 605. I was told very clearly that my testosterone was normal and that it wasn't the cause of my symptoms.
That was frustrating because I knew how I felt. I had done my research, the symptoms fit, but I had a lab result telling me everything was fine. So I accepted it and continued living with the symptoms.
My wife could see that I was still struggling. She was already a patient at Avara and had been really happy with the way her hormones were being managed. Eventually, she encouraged me to make an appointment and get another opinion.
That appointment changed everything.
For the first time, I felt like someone really listened to the whole story instead of looking at one lab number. Rachel explained that total testosterone was only one piece of the picture and that we needed a more comprehensive hormone panel to understand how much testosterone was actually available for my body to use.” -Craig
