    Any new discoveries on Low SHBG curse ?

    I feel the best I have ever felt on TRT. I take the lowest amount daily injections I ever have of 10mg a day and 500iu HCG 2x a week. My total T is low 800s and direct free T in mid 20s. Feeling really good…..I ran T numbers much higher for years and found this is definitely my sweet spot...

    Any new discoveries on Low SHBG curse ?

    Been on TRT since 2017. I was a low teens SHBG guy and felt best with daily injections……felt OK but not great. I started a high protein version of the Keto diet October of 22, not to try and raise SHBG, but to attempt to address my pre-diabetic emerging condition. As I became Keto adapted my...

    Is HCG still available?

    With Reliable RX, I just pay with a chime visa card. It is accepted on international purchases. Just put enough $ on card to cover the order…. Works great…..limits risk!

    Most people don’t need TRT

    Sounds like you have already found the correct answer for YOUR situation. Just stop TRT.

    Issues with Empower Pharmacy

    My local TRT doc just dumped Empower due to late deliveries and customer service issues. Good thing I had a little stash, or I would be out of T at this point. Just got confirmation today my order has shipped from Olympia RX. We will see if they are better. Sad!

    SHBG Changes after Keto

    My SHBG dropped like a rock shortly after starting TrT and settled in the teens. Has remained there for years. I have not had SHBG at this new level long enough to totally evaluate yet. I feel the best I have ever felt on trt at this point in time and will see how it progresses over the longer term.

    SHBG Changes after Keto

    I inject daily TCyp 14mg. Honestly, I have had E2 issues throughout the 6 years I have been on trt and I do take a very low dose AI of .12 wk micro-dosed daily. I will monitor and attempt to eliminate the AI as I progress. When I have been able to achieve a closer range of E2/SHBG ratio, I...

    SHBG Changes after Keto

    It is really hard to say exactly what is driving the way I feel as so much has positively changed since I started the Keto Diet…..not just SHBG. A host of changed variables at play. I am sure the improved blood markers, lowered BP, positive mental vibe with the weight loss are all a part of...

    SHBG Changes after Keto

    Low carb……25g max a day. I am following the higher protein Keto diet of 60% fat, 35% protein and 5% carbs that make up my macros. 35% protein gives me 1g per pound of lean muscle mass to try and limit muscle loss as I lose the fat. I get most of the low carbs I do eat from veggies, cheese, and...

    SHBG Changes after Keto

    Started the Keto Diet October LY. A1c 6.0, fasted Glucose 128, BP 140/85. 20 lbs over weight. Doc was alarmed with my steady increase in certain blood markers and possible insulin resistance and encouraged me to act. Fast forward I guess the results are what you would typically expect to...

    The Best Time of the Day to Workout

    I have a crazy schedule and gettin’ my 5 days in a week requires flexibility. I work out mornings, early afternoon and late evening every week depending on my work schedule. I find afternoon and evening works well for weight training with my best energy levels……I also enjoy cardio in the early...

    Are you worried about being dependent on TRT during the upcoming trying times?

    Same with testosterone. More demand than ever today as trt clinics are popping up everywhere and transition therapy is exploding at a fast pace as well. We are actually fortunate, for however long it lasts, that compounding Rx can pick up the production gaps. Big Pharma wants to stop that...

    Are you worried about being dependent on TRT during the upcoming trying times?

    So much of this is not recessionary or “end of times” hyperbole. Just simple supply and demand and drug companies not forecasting and manufacturing to radical changes. These diabetic drugs for example, have been now approved for weight loss……the demand goes through the roof and outruns the...

    Managed hematocrit but not hemoglobin?

    I used to phlebotomy every other month. After years of crashing my ferritin multiple times and feeling miserable trying to hit a HGB/HCT #, I decided to evaluate what would happen if I stopped all phlebotomy activity. I have not gave blood now for well over a year and complete blood work every...
