    I talked to my doctor about the prolactin being a bit high but he said it's not too high so I shouldn't worry. He said "high would be like 50-200+.

    He wants to do an MRI of my pituitary gland to keep searching for and underlying reason. What do you think?

    First, know that both elevated cortisol and prolactin can substantially suppress your testosterone production. Doing the MRI to look for adenomas is the absolute correct thing to do. An adenoma is what shut down my test production to a 59 T level and dropping years ago. It sounds like you have a decent doc. Stick with it and find the cause! You're to young for TRT unless absolutely necessary.

    Gotcha. I can't tell you how valuable your advice is. I will move forward with the MRI. Do you happen to know what can be done to decrease cortisol and prolactin? From my limited knowledge I know that decreasing cortisol is associated with increased sleep and stable blood sugar. But I already have good glucose levels and sleep 8-10 hrs a night.

    Maybe ZMA?
