    Defy Medical Physical?

    I never use the words "Defy Medical", I always say that Dr. Justin Saya is directing my TRT care. They never bat an eye.

    Blackhawk's journey with TRT

    Definitely avoid saw palmetto, I have no way of proving it, but it seems to have played at least a part in giving me symptoms similar to PFS.

    DHEA and fatigue

    Since being on TRT my DHEA is very low, around 30 mcg/dL, but I don't tolerate supplementing it even at doses as low as 5mg. Completely wrecks my sleep, even if I take it in the morning, and gives me incredible anxiety. I suspect my low DHEA and my negative reaction to supplementation is one...

    If your never had hypothyroid symptoms then I'd just drop the NDT.

    Does low dose T gel/cream work? Effect on HPTA?

    There was a recent study that looked into this. They claim to have gotten some decent results but YMMV. The efficacy and safety of short-acting testosterone ointment (Glowmin) for late-onset hypogonadism in accordance with testosterone circadian rhythm. Abstract INTRODUCTION: It is well known...

    KY Board of Medical Licensure going after medical director of 25 Again

    My thought exactly, talk about putting a target on your back.

    New to board and have appointment with Defy in two weeks.

    Those symptoms can also be a strong indicator of sleep apnea. Try taking the Epworth Sleepiness test: http://www.sleepapnea.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/ESS-PDF-1990-97.pdf

    Problems with Defy and Hallandale Pharmacy

    I've never used anastrozole from Empower, but what I've been getting from Hallandale has been very effective.

    After many years I think I've figured my situation out

    I don't think it is as rare as we all believe based on what we read on the forums. It seems that most guys on the forums are very/mostly interested in the anabolic effects of higher levels and that distorts what is considered an "effective" dose. From Dr. Gordon's writing it seems 60mg is...

    After many years I think I've figured my situation out

    Very interesting. I've dropped my dose down to 70mg/week. On my last set of labs my DHEA-S was less than 30. Like you, when I was on a higher dose of test. I could not tolerate supplementing any DHEA. Now I've been taking 25-30mg per day along with 30mg of pregnenolone and my sleep is finally...

    Sleep: Its Impact on T-Levels, ED, BMI, and Nocturia

    Well that sure is interesting. I think I'm going to skip the melatonin for a few days or weeks.

    Should I get a more complete thyroid panel?

    This is definitely a case of conflicting studies. Brownstein cites several to prove his case that high dose iodine is safe. I've had hypothyroidism for years and did try Brownstein's protocol for a couple of years. Never noticed any benefit, but there are a lot of reports online of people who...

    Lyme Tick Testing

    I sent a tick that bit me to UMass for the $50 test. It came back negative, I couldn't believe it as I've had Lyme disease before and my area is heavily infested. https://www.tickreport.com/pricing

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
