An essential part of enhancing your health is finding an experienced Testosterone Optimization Therapy (TOT) doctor who can help you optimize your hormones to run as efficiently as possible and for as long as possible.
Vetting Your TOT Doctor
Much of the time, the primary objective of our medical industry is to treat disease by medicating the symptoms instead of correcting the cause. However, you’re not looking for someone to cure you; you need a doctor to help you optimize your health and well-being. Because it’s critical that you work with the right physician, you can’t be afraid to ask questions. By having these ten questions prepared, the doctor will know you’ve done your research. Of course, you need to respect that the physician will have specific practice-based preferences based on their own professional experience. However, they should be open to being your partner in managing your health and not be just another “White Lab-Coat God Complexed Dictator.” 
- How long have you been managing patients on TOT, and how much of your total practice do those patients represent?
- Do you have a preferred form of therapy – injections, gels, oral forms?
- How do you determine your dosing schedule for a new patient?
- What is your opinion on the usage of AI’s?
- What blood labs are you going to use before initiating TOT? When do you go to labs again once TOT starts?
- How many times will you want to test blood per year?
- What is your preferred therapy for maintaining fertility (hCG, hMG, Clomid, etc.)?
- Will you use these medications with or without concomitant TOT (i.e., at the same time as TOT)? Explain the dosage strategy to me.
- How long does it typically take until I start seeing results, or feeling different?
- Will you allow me to administer my TOT injections, upon scripting injectable testosterone?
