I train some pretty tough women who could give an untrained man a hard time. Don't take chances.

Serious question: Do you have any fight training? It doesn't appear that you know what you are talking about.

Just do what i did. Two years ago I went to Istanbul to see Dr Gur. I paid less than 5k total, including flights and food. The results were pretty really good and worth the money.

I'm trained in hand to hand combat, but that is beside the point. I have 21 year old twin boys, a 13 year old girl, and a 7 year old son, and I would rather they know that I died doing what was right, than to come home and face them knowing that I let someone be harmed that I could have helped. It is a noble man who sacrifices himself for others.

Taking TRT while in the normal range makes no sensem

You are assuming the normal range is "normal". You have to look at how normal ranges are determined. They test a large population to establish a reference distribution. So 30 year olds and 60 year olds may show the same normal levels. Also, test levels fluctuate somewhat depending on many factors, such as time of day, sexual frequency, etc. Doctors have to consider signs of Low T, and treat the patients, not the lab values.

Certain workouts with bad diet can lower T. Just exercise in a normal schedule + diet and your T will be fine.

Completely false. My diet was extremely clean. You have no idea what you are talking about with regard to testosterone therapy. Maybe you should ask yourself why different labs and different areas of the country have different "normal" ranges. Also, the difference is a test level of 250 (low) and 300 (normal) is very small. The difference in 300 (normal) and 900 (also normal) is vast. We don't just treat lab values, we treat patients and symptoms. 305 was my level when starting on TRT, but that was far lower than the normal for my age. I had all of the classic symptoms.

And most, if not all, could get their T levels to normal with diet/exercise, but they wouldnt get the added muscle benefit.

Completely false. I worked out constantly and my T levels were still low. I was placed on TRT with a 305 total Test level, while not clinically considered hypogonadism and not covered by insurance. Normal test levels at my lab were 280-950. My last levels drawn were 830 Total and 53 free T. I stay in normal range with 100mg/week. Diet and exercise help, but do not have close to the same results.

I agree with Costa Rica. Flights are fairly cheap, and if you stay somewhere like Manuel Antonio, it is very walkable. Rooms or AirBnb's there won't break the bank, and you can get really good food at sodas.

You can fly to turkey for a comprehensive check up, including cardiology, endocrinology, urology, cancer screening, lab work, xrays and CT scans, MRI, etc, depending on the package. Most are less than $1k. My flight there was another $1k last time I went (for a different procedure). It's not a bad deal.
