Which pathway addresses slow workout recovery?
Recovery is screened against sleep, training load, nutrition, iron, vitamin D, and hormones. Confirmed low testosterone routes to TRT. Peri/menopausal patterns route to BHRT. Sermorelin is reviewed for selected candidates.
Full answer
Slow recovery is screened against sleep, training load, protein intake, ferritin, vitamin D, and hormonal baseline (total/free testosterone, SHBG, estradiol). Men with confirmed low testosterone and matching recovery patterns are evaluated for TRT. Peri/menopausal women with matching biomarkers are evaluated for BHRT. Sermorelin (growth hormone secretagogue) is reviewed in selected candidates with appropriate biomarkers and goals. Training stimulus and nutrition remain primary; pharmacology is layered, not substituted.
Educational. Not a substitute for individualized provider review.
