Currently using Herbal Factors Diuretic formula, 6 caps a day and it's not doing a whole hell of alot. I think i need something stronger.

I would not be doing any kind of HIIT on an empty stomach, at the very least try 10grams bcaa or 1 scoop whey, preferably the bcaa. Empty stomach cardio should be low intensity, i do have to agree with Gene though HIIT is more efficient. John Meadows has a great article on cardio you should...

I'll pick one of the above and post a review, i hold alot of water on trt whether estrogen is high or low, i have 10lbs+ water retention that drives me nuts.

At the time of that thread my estrogen was already too high and I needed arimidex. I have since been able ot do 25mg dhea and 25mg mlm pregnenolone with no issues, I may have to even up my pregnenolone. Interestingly enough even though Dr Crisler prefers creams I had preg cream compounded and at...

Don't wait, switch, starting you at 16mg a week? That alone speaks volumes to the care you will get, don't spin your wheels if you have access to Defy then go there.

50mg cyp e3d with the addition of 10mg suspension has helped a lot, my erections are still not where they need to be. I tried hcg but could not tolerate it, all different doses it bloated the hell out of me and my buddy is finding the same thing. Pregnenolone cream maybe 3 times a week has...

Get your sleep and adrenals tested, I had both sleep apnea and adrenal fatigue and you will feel awful, difficulty maintaining blood sugar, sleep disturbances, a laundry list of symptoms. Feeling generally unwell all the time is a real red flag, when adrenals go out thyroid can also go out as well.

Have you ever tried Mucuna?

I tried it and honestly it made me feel worse as the peaks were much lower, now if it were a propionate ester or suspension you'd be fine, but they aren't handing those out for trt. Personally e3d has been best for me.

BCAA, creatine monohydrate, beta alanine, eaa's. This won't do much unless you have the basics down though. But personally I noticed a dramatic difference from simply adding BCAA's during my workouts a few years back 20-30 grams sipped on throughout along with a solid diet and training program I...

Any place you could possibly be caught ;)

I'm just wondering how many here have gone the urine route, my current doc got me to do a 24 hr urine test and it showed that my testosterone levels were sky high and out of range (by urine), but with blood I was at 850 and just needed my estrogen managed. The urine testing does seem to be great...

Anyone go from straight T3 to NDT and feel better? Currently on 10mcg t3 twice per day, no complaints but I wonder if I would feel different if I switched to NDT.

Has anyone ever tried this? I used to be a steroid user and am currently on trt which is still being dialed in. I have to say the best I have felt with estrogen managed without an ai, less water retention, better sex drive etc was 10mg testosterone suspension sub q daily every morning. My...

Quite possibly, fragmented sleep will effect the adrenals, thyroid etc. Some men don't even need trt if their adrenals and thyroid are treated. Fix your sleep and work on your diet, as well as get follow up testing to see how your body responds.
