That's the best way I could put it.
Now, again, it's obviously you should not expect that you're going to feel exactly the same as you did when you were like 20 years old.
Like I think some people think when they're 50, oh, I'm going to get on TRT and it's going to be, you know, like being 20 again.
And like to some extent it could be because like on paper, like your test levels might be the equivalent, but...
It doesn't mean the way you metabolize the hormones into estrogen is going to be the same.
It doesn't mean that the way you respond is going to be exactly the same.
In general, though, the target is to ameliorate the symptoms and then dial in from there kind of thing.
So I think what people should expect is the intention of it is get rid of your symptoms, similar to menopausal therapy.
You want to get rid of your hot flashes.
You want to ensure that you are not...
your bone integrity is like actually supported.
Like all these things are like your baseline requirements of why you're doing it is just to like get rid of the negative and get to a baseline.
Indirectly, you will feel much better.
So it's like you will feel better from the result of it.
But like, don't expect to be Superman unless you're
You might feel like Superman relative to your stage.
It just depends how deficient you were to begin with.
And it's all contingent on multiple things.
So it's hard to put hard and fast generalities on this stuff.
But like your target should ideally be symptom relief.
