- Exactly which labs to request and how to interpret them yourself (Chapter 27)
- Side effect solutions: acne, hair loss, water retention, blood pressure-all addressed
- How to preserve fertility on TRT (Chapter 20)
- When HCG helps and when it doesn't (Chapter 12)

Written by Nelson Vergel-chemical engineer, MBA, bestselling author of Testosterone: A Man's Guide, and hormone therapy patient since 1993. He's trained physicians on TRT management and lived every challenge you're facing.
