Everything to test before going on TRT and during?

All,
I plan on joining the Maximus team soon and was wondering what I need to check for besides the things in the bloodwork on the Maximus site? Things like hemocratic level, thyriod, cholesterol, etc... and also what I need to keep checking for during my time on testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) (whole life I'm sure).

Thanks bros

In order to satisy the the doctor at Maximus all you need to test for is whats on the Maximus website. You also need a physical from your primary care doctor. So at this physical you may as well get blood done by your doctor as well.

yeah, if u have insurance go that route, its practically free, plus add in the thyroid panel, and try to get a restting cortisol saliva check, usually done throughout the day at 4 different times,

I already ordered the bloods from the Maximus site, so when I go to my physical, I'll ask for the thyroid panel and cortisol test, and whatever you guys think I should check. Can you just tell them you want to test for X and they say ok?

I ordered blood from maximus website also. To my knowledge, they will check all the things you mentioned in your original post on top. As far as cortisol test. I didnt get it done.
