Most TRT services show you a marketing photo. We show you the panel. John G., 41, from Texas, started at 312 ng/dL — clinically low. He felt it: tired by 2pm, foggy in meetings, no spark with his wife. Sixteen weeks on Forge, three blood draws, two dose tweaks by his physician. Now: 894 ng/dL — optimal range, every other marker in line. Not a stock photo. A real guy, a real panel, a result you can read.

⌖ PHYSICIAN INTERPRETATION

Low testosterone — but your testes are healthy. The signal from your brain is the bottleneck.

Your Total T (312) and Free T (6.1) are both clinically low. Crucially, your LH (3.8) and FSH (4.2) are mid-normal — meaning your testes can produce, your hypothalamus just isn't signaling them strongly enough. This is the textbook profile that responds well to enclomiphene.

Your blood sugar marker (HbA1c) is borderline (5.6) — not diabetic, but worth watching. Insulin resistance suppresses testosterone; addressing both together compounds the result.

Estradiol, SHBG, prolactin, TSH, and lipids are all in normal range. No red flags. Both a testosterone-based protocol and a smart-blocker pill (Spark) are safe options for you.

⌖ RECOMMENDED PROTOCOL

SF-03 SPARK · Enclomiphene 12.5 mg

Once daily, AM. Re-panel at week 8 to verify lift and confirm LH stays in physiologic range.

⌖ FAQ

QUESTIONS, ANSWERED.

05 / FAQ
What is testosterone therapy and how does it actually work?+
Testosterone optimization uses prescription medication to bring your T into the optimal range — not just the "normal" lab range, which is wide and built for diagnosing disease, not optimizing performance. Depending on the protocol, that's enclomiphene (which stimulates your body's own production), topical cream, or weekly injections. Every Dominant protocol is written and monitored by a named, board-certified physician who reads your labs and adjusts your dose.
How do I know which protocol is right for me?+
Three inputs: your bloodwork, your goals, and whether fertility matters. Order Bench (our $99 at-home kit), complete the assessment, and a physician matches you to a protocol. If fertility is a priority, you'll be matched to SF-03 Spark or SF-04 Foundry. If maximum lift is the priority and family is complete, SF-01 Forge.
Is testosterone therapy safe? What about side effects?+
When prescribed and monitored properly, TRT has a strong safety profile backed by decades of clinical data. The risks worth tracking — hematocrit, PSA, estradiol, blood pressure — are exactly what we monitor at week 0, 8, 16, and quarterly thereafter. Your physician adjusts your dose based on real numbers, not guesses.
Can I really do this entirely online?+
Yes. Assessment, lab kit, prescription, medication, and ongoing physician messaging — all online, all from your dashboard. No clinic visits, no waiting rooms. Your medication ships discreetly. Your physician is reachable in-app, generally same-day.
Will TRT affect my fertility?+
Traditional TRT (SF-01 Forge, SF-02 Ember) suppresses LH and FSH, which can affect fertility while you're on therapy. If fertility is a priority, our enclomiphene-based protocols (SF-03 Spark, SF-04 Foundry) raise T while keeping your testes producing — fertility markers stay intact.
How fast will I see results?+
Most men report energy, mood, and focus improvements in weeks 2–4. Libido and erection quality typically respond by week 4–6. Body composition (lean mass up, fat down) is a 3–6 month story. Your physician tracks all of it with quarterly bloodwork.
What does it cost?+
Protocols start at $99/mo. New members on a 12-month commitment get 50% off month one. Every protocol includes physician oversight, in-app messaging, and quarterly bloodwork at no additional charge. The Bench at-home lab kit is $99 standalone — applied as credit if you start a protocol.
