For that to be logically true, he would have to have gained weight.

Yep. Down from 242 lbs to 188 lbs. Lift 6 days a week now too. SHBG 14-> 54 over that period.

I was taking it then also. My vitamin D did plummet to 30.6 (30-100) because I stopped taking it thinking walking 30-45 minutes in the sunshine would be enough but apparently not. Taking 10,000 IU a day now for 2 weeks then back to 5,000. Previously 5000 a day had me at pretty good levels...

We decided to lower HCG to 250 . Will get an E2 test again in 4 weeks. If I feel great I've found my E2 sweet spot. If I feel not great know that's not my sweet spot and then try more frequent doses.

I'm basically the opposite. Unchanged protocol - year 1 was 600-688. Year 3 is 968-1051. Free 22.22 ng/dL to now 33.69.

I've been on a fairly standard Defy protocol that hasn't changed much in 2.5 years. M-W-F injections 50 cypionate, 300 HCG, 50 mg DHEA, .25 Arimidex (not now). As I've lost weight, my levels have all shot up. 01-2017 242 lbs 283 Total Start TRT 08-2017 (240 lbs) Total - 646 Free - 22.22...

Any mention of dose? I currently eat a lot of beef which is high in L-carnitine but doesn't seem to help. As a reference, I don't take a multi but my B-12 is 1198 (232-1245).

Same man. 33 Pre TRT. 24 about 18 months in. Now at 30 after about 30 months.

Any insights into high RDW? LabCorp Range (12.3 - 15.4) 2016 - RDW 14.7% - Tail end of SAD (Pre TRT) 2017 - RDW 14.7% - Semi Low Carb (6 Months TRT - started Jan 1 2017) 2018 - RDW 15.6% - Semi Low Carb - High 2018 - RDW 16.2% - Carnivore 4 Months - High 2019 - RDW 16.5% - Carnivore 10 Months...

I'd say most days range from 7.0 - 10.0 on a scale of 1-10 as far as overall well being. July was closer to 9.0 - 10. Libido was basically 10/10 non stop. Now it's more like 6 - 9.5 range. However there were days where I wondered if I even wanted my libido that high. Literally hornier than...

Got my labs this morning but no consultation yet. DHEA 384 (71-375 range). Hard to say really. I've been actively dropping a lot of body fat this year (232 lbs Jan 1. Joined a gym, 188 lbs today. Lift 6 days a week when not injured). In July I felt like a million bucks literally 24/7. But...

A1C 4.7 Fasting Glucose 79 Fasting Insulin 5.0 HOMA-IR .97 Gonna drop it for next 6 months.

In February my DHEA was 209 and my Defy consult wanted me to go back to supplementing. I had it up to 320 in 2018 when I was taking some. I've been taking a 50mg every other day. I should have my lab results in a day or two and my consult in a week. I'll let you know what they say about the...

Well I had my Defy blood work yesterday so if fasting insulin comes in under 6 I'll try 6 months without Metformin. Glucose isn't really an issue because I don't eat carbs. Curious to see what my A1C comes back as. I'll guess 4.8-4.9.

You could get a $100 Omega 3 test while taking each of the pills you want to test. For as much money as we spend on fish or krill oil a year it seems like this is a no-brainer. I've only had 1 Omega 3 test so far but my score was - 9.78% (Range 2.90-12.90%) 89th Percentile Alpha-Linolenic...
