So even if total testosterone looks “fine” on paper, free testosterone — the active fraction — can be dramatically lower because more of the total is bound up. If your RS pulls labs and only checks total T, the picture looks better than it is. Always pull total T, free T, and SHBG together. Otherwise you’re guessing. Section 5: Why it’s not just hormone
