I was seen by a HRT specialist. He is the one who tested me wrong. I am very familiar with HRT and suggest bio-identical HRT for those who need it. Testosterone is usually bio-identical but others are often analogues.

Many HRT specialists are also human performance specialists. They can get a bit off track with their protocols. We usually suggest finding a neuro-endocrinologist who understands concussions.

Here is an interesting article about the pros and cons and the controversy of HRT. Head Cases: Pituitary Incidents Arising from Traumatic Brain Injury - Endocrine News

One of the challenges with hormone issues is the proper tests can be very expensive and insurance balks at the bills. One can easily get billed $800 or more. The concept of 'not medically necessary' is the excuse because the FDA does not have an approved protocol.
