    Please tell me how vitamin D supplementation has caused calcium deficiency, let's discuss.

    I have developed calcium deficiency supplementing vitamin D, the higher the dose, the worse the deficiency. I'm trying to figure out how to solve this without having to supplement calcium which is a big no no! Without calcium supplement, vitamin D causes excess urination which leads to...

    Bloodwork Results - Thinking About Starting TRT

    I had been on TRT for almost 8 years on and off, came off twice and recovered fertility quickly and I'm 24 years older than you. If you take too much zinc, this could act as a aromatase inhibitor and decrease estrogen. You would have to be hyper sensitive to zinc for this to happen. I don't...

    Bloodwork Results - Thinking About Starting TRT

    The normal ranges have nothing to do with quality of life. Each case is unique, not everyone fits into the same box. Typically people with diseases will be at the bottom 25 percentile, excluding outliers. You should probably sit this one out and start taking notes...

    How long does testosterone drop after stopping

    Once every two weeks isn't recommended, suggest you ditch the clueless doctor. This protocol will create large swings in hormones and you'll lack a consistent hormone profile. Also these protocols tend to increase risks of high RBC and hematocrit further complicating treatment. 200 mg every two...

    TRT Peaks and troughs or steady levels. Which is correct?

    I only responded to oral testosterone. Turns out I didn’t need it. My original health problem was T2 diabetes, which caused iron and vitamin D deficiency. The treatment was TRT! I don’t know how TRT is supposed to correct iron and vitamin D deficiency. If anything, TRT is going make the iron...

    Normal Total T/ lower end free T

    What’s your diet, height and weight? Do you exercise on a regular basis? Do you get 8 hours of restful sleep every night?

    Good Total T with Low Free T.

    If you’re serious about trying to fix your hormonal issues without TRT, which I do recommend, I think you might try the carnivore diet. I started two weeks ago and I’ve already lost 7 pounds while changing nothing other than what I eat. I sit for 40 hours a week on my full-time job and work...

    Brain health with trt, missed sleep

    I find that when my ferritin levels are low I don’t sleep well and considering TRT lowers ferritin….

    Good Total T with Low Free T.

    You’re severely estrogen dominant. If your C-reactive protein marker is elevated and you use the standard non-sensitive estrogen test it’s going to show a false high value. What’s your height and body weight? Any supplementation, vitamins, minerals, medications or hair loss drugs?

    The holy Grail of nutritional research regarding red meat consumption and lack of evidence of harm.

    I’ll just eat more steak and keep my body in a state of ketosis. So far the mental benefits are amazing. I put my T2 diabetes in remission in one week without TRT. My glucose levels are static, pre and post meals.

    Tight or knotted muscles from TRT?

    TRT can cause you to burn through vitamins and minerals, better do a complete vitamin and mineral panel. Your problem could also be an inappropriate injection frequency.

    The holy Grail of nutritional research regarding red meat consumption and lack of evidence of harm.

    Results: The HP group improved their reaction time significantly compared with the UP group. Branched chain amino acids and phenylalanine in plasma were significantly increased following the HP diet, which may explain the improved reaction time. Conclusion: Healthy young males fed a HP diet...

    The holy Grail of nutritional research regarding red meat consumption and lack of evidence of harm.

    The two largest-ever NIH-funded, multi-center clinical trials (the Women’s Health Initiative and the Minnesota Coronary Survey) where saturated fats were either reduced or replaced by unsaturated fats, on nearly 54,000 men and women, concluded that saturated fats had no effect on cardiovascular...

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

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