Its true. Theres Bodybuilders who know more about "hormone optimising" for the sake of anoboilism and maintaining male function than 80 percent of doctors out there imo. For the most part, we have the same access to the same medical journals that they write textbooks from, only we focus on very specific topics ie muscle building, fat loss, performance, healthy overall body functions. There is few exeptions. Dr Scally, Dr Jim being the exeptions. Many of these doctors are saturated with a multitude of info that doesnt directly influence bodybuilding. So to me is no surprise that Jay is asking these questions. With that being said im not excusing his ignorance and would suggest he hit the books harder, but Im glad hes on this forum learning so that he he help his patients (assuming he is a doctor), and not give them bullshit information like a great portion of his colleagues. At least he is trying to learn. Ive seen countless forum threads where people say their doctor told them some bullshit advice. Ive heard of doctors saying testosterone in the 200s and estro in the 80s was perfectly normal, meanwhile his patient is basically a female. I would hope more of these doctors in training would come on this forum and learn, or share their expertise. Once again though Op I hope you keep reading from this forum, medical journals and your textbooks and you can help your clients, that is, if you really are a doctor. best of luck
