I’m - healthy 45 yr old retired veteran and have never used gear. My metabolism is slowing down, I feel weaker in the gym, and just not looking like I want to. Something’s gotta give,

TRT is 3k at the local clinic, but I’m trying to see if I can get my doctor to hook me up with a prescription for low T, which I know I have because of the blood test that they ran at the local clinic when I was shopping around

My question is, if I wanted to start a cycle of something, what would you recommend, and how do I go about doing that. I know I have read that I should get blood tests, but where do I go to find out the normal range of those blood tests and where do I even go to get the blood tests done?
