any advice for a 53yr newbie living in mexico

[SlimmerMe]

a complete male hormone panel is needed for baseline BW
plus you want to make sure your PSA level is okay before you start anything and this is included in a male hormone panel

in other words, it is not just a testosterone levels test

have you lived there a long time? I bet there are places where you could walk-in and get some BW easily...or I would hope so anyway....

Perhaps the guys can mark which ones they think are necessary.....

2 Examples:
-----------------------------------
from one place online suggested these test:

Thyroid Profile w/ TSH
Complete Blood Count w/ Differential
Comprehensive Metabolic Panel
Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA)
Estradiol Sensitive
Testosterone (Free), Serum With Total
Lipid Profile
Insulin Growth Factor (IGF-1)
----------------------------------

from another online place suggested these test:

Chemistry Panel (Metabolic panel with lipids)
Complete Blood Count (CBC)
Free Testosterone
Total Testosterone
DHEA - Sulfate
Progesterone
Estradiol
Homocysteine
C-reactive protein (High sensitivity)
TSH (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone)
