This happened to me when I was under stress that I did not even recognize. Took 3 beers to get to sleep, but I'd wake up 3 hours later with anxiety. Also started taking lorazepam, but abandoned that when I learned more about it. So for me, learning to manage my stress was the answer. Stress...

Skip to 1:14 where someone asks Rouzier about problems with elevated DHT. Dr. Saya mentioned a connection between elevated DHT and BPH in that thread on managing estradiol.

Can you provide data showing testosterone lowering the immune system? Thanks.

As an aside, I just noticed in his email signature the letters "MD" after his name. May I refer to him as Dr now? lol

I will try and fit in a single question for you, but I won't be asking him to watch a video. I only have 30-mins, and he tends to give long, detailed answers. So, what would be your question?

What MD do you suggest?

When I speak to him, how shall I refer to you? readalot?

Yeah, I know who he is. If a person earns a PhD, and goes by "Dr", then he's not thoughtful? A tad bizarre. Anyway, I am not consulting Howell to manage my hormones. I want an academic who is up on this stuff to give me his take on what we've been discussing here. I'm confident he'll be up...

I remember this mega-thread. I'll revisit it. More reason I think to consult Dr. Howell.

I didn't know they offered free consults. With all the info you just gave, I could have probably done without the consult with Dr. Howell. Oh well, it's already paid for... I did send an email to Dr. Rouzier expressing my concern about starting out on 400mg daily. His response was...

To be clear, I did not burn my bridges with the nurse. I simply requested more time to research HRT.

RobRoy, Thanks for all the info. Exactly what I was hoping for. readalot has posted a lot of info, too, for which I am grateful. Now, I have scheduled a 30-minute consultation with Dr. Scott Howell next week. He will have all the lab info, email info from the nurse,etc. I think I've...

I already dumped her. Now, I would really like to know if Rouzier or Nichols ever prescribe similar dosing. Love to hear directly from their patients.

I emailed the nurse about the massive dose she was prescribing. This was her response: " Actually that is not a massive amount of testosterone to optimize levels. I actually start low and go up when we do the 6 week follow up. But if you would feel more comfortable even starting lower you can...

Well, I emailed the nurse who wrote the prescription. She stated that I would be applying 200mg in the morning, 200mg at night. 400mg, total for the day. Her words exactly. I'm stunned. Thanks, Mark.

My new testosterone cream prescription reads - 200mg/ml. Apply 1ml twice a day. Does this mean I would be taking 400mg per day, total?? Maybe I'm wrong, but that seems like a massive amount for someone just starting out. Am I wrong?

I just wonder what this limit is based upon. Hopefully it's not based on the average E2 levels of an older, obese/sick population, like testosterone levels have been. Seems purely arbitrary. Thanks, Vince, for replying.

Why should 60 be the upper limit?

My nurse told me she gets concerned if a man's E2 hits 70 due to increased risk of cancer. I did some Googling and came up empty except for a possible increase in breast cancer risk(for men). Is there any strong correlation between elevated E2 and cancer in men...

Based on symptoms and these labs, my nurse is willing to put me on TRT. My symptoms are irritability/temper, low libido, brain fog, less enjoyment from daily life.. I'm 63, 6'2", 185. Resistance train 4 days a week. Not obese. Any comments on my labs would be appreciated. Thanks. Total T...

I wonder how much ascorbic acid one would have to ingest.

I have ferritin levels >400. How does ascorbic acid affect ferritin levels? Thanks.

Who is Dr. Mariano?

Wow! Thanks. I just listened to a webinar of his and was pretty impressed. But, I've been fooled before. I understand he's starting clinics in the U.S.

I was hoping someone here might be familiar with his TRT protocols, or views, good or bad.

Can anyone offer an opinion as to this doctor's approach and ideas about TRT? My nurse says I'm ready for TRT, and she refers to Dr. Hertoghe's expertise. Thanks

You might find this interesting, if not provocative. Almost any YouTube video by Dr. Nadir Ali is worth a watch, imo

Of course, there is much debate over the significance of the LDL-P number...much. As an aside, I see that Dr. Attia blocked Dr. David Diamond from his Twitter account very recently.

Pharmacokinetics of testosterone cream applied to scrotal skin "Disproportionate increases in serum DHT are reported after administration of all transdermal testosterone products with the higher DHT/T ratio attributable to the strong expression of 5‐alpha reductase in skin structures which...

So, what is your strategy to deal with this? What is your carb intake like?
