On TRT: How to check the state of cardiovascular system & how to find heart specialist
For K2, I take either 2-3 MK-4 capsules with 100mcg each per day, or 100mcg Mk-7, however I suspect a higher dose of MK-4 would be fine. Some people APOE4's I think can build up too much K2 so I stay at moderate doses since I don't know if I'm in that category. For Lp(a), the best advice I've...- Guided_by_Voices

Interesting injury
This sounds like a reminder of the importance of doing something for all body parts, even ones most people normally don't think about. If you are lucky enough to train at a gym that has a 4-way neck machine, it is a great, essential movement IMO. Otherwise you can buy a neck harness to use with...- Guided_by_Voices

On TRT: How to check the state of cardiovascular system & how to find heart specialist
You might also check Lp(a). There isn't AFAIK a perfect fix if it's elevated although Oxandrolone apparently will help, but you could be at greater risk if it's elevated and hence might want to take more extreme measures- Guided_by_Voices

Thinking about TRT and could use some guidance
My two cents: - Stop the finasteride and go to topical - It's way too soon for TRT. HCG or Clomid/monotherapy would be much lower risk, but may not be necessary either. You could add a low dose of oxandrolone to that if gym performance is still a concern at that point - Are you using viagra or...- Guided_by_Voices

On TRT: How to check the state of cardiovascular system & how to find heart specialist
This is a huge topic but here are a few things to start with. I recently heard the results of a large sample of data correlated with heart events, and the number one risk factor was A1C, which should be under 5.5 or hopefully lower. This makes sense since elevated blood sugar can damage the...- Guided_by_Voices

Vitamin D May Slow Cellular Aging
Yes, I'm a huge believer too and have heard many positive reports. Just be sure to take some vitamin K2 as well so that you don't get any calcium deposits where they're not supposed to be.- Guided_by_Voices

Vitamin D May Slow Cellular Aging
IMO, Vitamin D plus k2 is worthwhile just for the benefits to the innate immune system alone. Everything else is a nice bonus. Above 50 is apparently the sweet spot. Pneumonia is a fairly big risk for may of us.- Guided_by_Voices

HCT and blood donation
Bloodletting tends to correlate with longer life and there are some fairly exotic theories as to why. One of the simpler benefits is that it reduces the chances of Iron overload which is something you certainly don't want.- Guided_by_Voices

Can blood work be incorrect?? Really confused
Regarding the breathing issues, something you may want to look into is nebulizing hydrogen peroxide. You need to dilute it with saline, but I saw it have incredible affects during Coivd, restoring people's breathing to normal within a matter of minutes. Do your own due diligence but it seems...- Guided_by_Voices

Vitamin E, an Antioxidant, As a Possible Therapeutic Agent for Treating Pain
The boswellia definitely seems to help me with my hip, leg and knees. I had not heard of black seed oil for inflammation but have some so I'll give it a try. For joint pain, the Gunthers methol rub and diclofenac gel both seem to help a lot, as well as BPC 157.- Guided_by_Voices

Vitamin E, an Antioxidant, As a Possible Therapeutic Agent for Treating Pain
The Vitamin E gurus emphasize that a full-spectrum Vitamin E should be used that includes all Tocopherols and tocotrienols. Chris Masterjohn recommends the Tocosorb brand. Also, I have noticed benefit from Boswellia, something that gets very little publicity. Curcumin can help too and has...- Guided_by_Voices

Can blood work be incorrect?? Really confused
It sounds to me like the root of your issues is not hormonal, but hopefully Defy can still help with that. There is a lot of info in TRTGUY9's thread about chronic fatigue and brain fog. Ideally you can find a good holistic/integrative doc but there are not too many out there. You may want to...- Guided_by_Voices

Can blood work be incorrect?? Really confused
Is there a dosage/protocol where you consistently feel/perform well? My two cents is that when all else fails, get into a state where you look/feel/perform well and if numbers like HC aren't optimal, manage it as best you can but give them a year or so of monitoring and see how they vary over...- Guided_by_Voices

Also, depending on what dimension you need/want further improvement on, there may be approaches other than more T to achieve what you need.- Guided_by_Voices

New to TRT. Received first labs. Concerned and need help.
Yes, donating blood will briefly lower HCT, however there are other benefits, the primary one being prevention of iron overload. The is some mechanism by which long runs apparently lower iron, however other than that, bleeding of some form and chelation, there is no way to get rid of iron, and...- Guided_by_Voices
