Nearly nine years after launching, Hims is announcing a new era in testosterone care. Dr. David Hall examines the irony—and what men should expect beyond a prescription.
Is a Testosterone of 1,200 Really Supraphysiologic? What Healthy Young Men Actually Produce
A testosterone level of 1,200 ng/dL is often labeled “supraphysiologic.” But healthy young men in the Framingham Heart Study were measured near—and even above—that level. So why does the modern CDC-harmonized reference range top out around 916? The answer involves assay calibration, population percentiles, SHBG, free testosterone and the difference between physiologic possibility and an appropriate TRT target.
Does Testosterone Cause Tendon Ruptures? What the Research Actually Shows
Studies have linked prescription testosterone with Achilles, biceps, rotator cuff and other tendon injuries. But does TRT actually weaken tendons—or could rapidly increasing strength and training loads help explain the association?
TRT and High Hematocrit: Does “Thick Blood” Really Mean Blood Clots?
Can TRT raise hematocrit and increase blood clot risk? A board-certified urologist explains erythrocytosis, the 52–54% thresholds, phlebotomy, sleep apnea, and smarter TRT management.

Can men naturally have testosterone levels of 900–1,100? Urologist Dr. David Hall explains high testosterone, SHBG, free T and when testing matters.
How Often Should You Inject TRT? Why Testosterone Injection Frequency Matters
How often you inject testosterone may matter almost as much as the dose itself. Learn why every-two-week injections can create larger peaks and troughs, when weekly or twice-weekly TRT may provide smoother exposure, and why IM vs SQ or cypionate vs enanthate may matter less than many people think.
Still Have ED on TRT? Why Testosterone May Not Be the Problem
Still have erectile dysfunction even though your testosterone is optimized? Learn why vascular health, diabetes, sleep apnea, medications and other causes of ED may matter more than your TRT dose.
Experience Isn’t Just Years in Practice: Why Clinical Volume Matters
Two clinicians can read the same guidelines and prescribe the same medication while having very different levels of experience. Here’s why clinical volume, pattern recognition, feedback, and long-term patient follow-up can matter in testosterone and men’s health care.
What Blood Tests Should Men Actually Get? Why a Testosterone Level Alone Isn’t Enough
A total testosterone level alone cannot explain a man’s hormonal, metabolic or cardiovascular health. Learn what a comprehensive men’s health lab evaluation can include — from free testosterone, SHBG and LH to ApoB, Lp(a), thyroid testing, CBC, PSA, and metabolic markers.

Low testosterone can be treated by primary care doctors, urologists, endocrinologists, and dedicated TRT clinics—but the quality of care varies widely. Here’s how each model differs and what men should look for before choosing a testosterone provider.
Why Fit & Fine Exists: A Better Model for Men’s Health
Traditional healthcare can add layers of cost, delay, referrals, insurance requirements, and fragmented care.

Testosterone, TRT and Fertility: Can You Treat Low T Without Losing Sperm?
Testosterone replacement therapy can dramatically suppress sperm production—but infertility is not always permanent. A board-certified urologist explains TRT, azoospermia, hCG, semen analysis, fertility recovery, and treatment options for men who still want children.
Free vs. Total Testosterone: Which Number Actually Matters?
Your total testosterone can look normal while your free testosterone is low. Learn how total testosterone, free testosterone, and SHBG work together—and why looking at one number alone can miss important information.
How Much Protein Do Men Really Need to Build Muscle? Protein, Testosterone, Leucine, and Muscle Growth
How much protein should active men really eat? Learn how protein intake, leucine, muscle protein synthesis, resistance training, testosterone, and lean mass work together—and why the standard protein RDA may be too low for men focused on muscle growth and body composition.
Your Testosterone Is “Normal” on TRT — So Why Do You Still Feel Bad? What Muncie Men Should Know
Your testosterone is normal on treatment—but you still feel tired, have low libido, ED, or poor body composition. Learn why successful TRT requires looking beyond the testosterone number.
