I constantly hear the recommendation to take CoQ10 with statins, but is there actually any evidence or logic that it is truly replacing the body's CoQ10? CoQ10 is made inside the cells at the time and in the amount that the body needs, however thinking that swallowing CoQ10 will somehow...
You're presenting a false dichotomy. "under-prescribing" is not "denying treatment" . What others are saying is that better treatments focused on root causes should be pursued, and "anti-depressants" looked at as a short-term crutch at best. And where is the evidence that mainstream psychiatry...
High T levels might not over-ride other negative factors such as eating too little, over-training, or poor sleep, however I have never heard of any experience or logic that would suggest higher T levels alone would reduce muscle mass, even in the case of elevated estrogen. If, for example, using...
Another idea (unless you are already very lean) is to try doing a short fast of 24-36 hours, the idea being that if you feel better it could point to some sort of gut or food sensitivity issue. If you are in an environment where you can get fairly intense mid-day sun, that is likely to be...
Your symptoms scream infection or environmental toxin, and a good work-up from a holistic doc would be a good place to start but the tests would cost money. There are other things that can cause fatigue such as use of high-dose niacin, so I would look at everything you're taking and doing and...
If you're going to try it, I recommend you try a protocol that won't significantly shut down your natural production. A low dose of clomid or enclomiphene, or one of the oral/nasal types that cataceous has talked about would be a good start. If you're looking for gym benefits, I would start with...
Several things...timing in relation to workouts is a factor also. Supposedly the first 24-36 hours is when most adaptation occurs and for older people it's closer to 24 hours so I try to concentrate my protein in the 24 hours after my more intense workouts and my carbs on the day before my most...
Is there some way to tell if they corrected for blood pressure or some form of Rhabdo for the AKI finding? I've never heard of TRT alone having a mechanism for kidney injury, whether chronic or acute. One would think that this would have been major issue in the physique and/or strength community...
I've heard her interviewed several times and she seems to be very forward thinking. You can find the interviews here

I use it several times per weeks and I trust it's doing something good although I don't notice anything, but I'm fairly healthy to begin with. I would suggest Dr. Bredesen's protocol as the gold standard starting point for dementia prevention and reversal, and some of the things in it should...
from another post: "The contact information for Alphagels is [email protected]. Apparently they only take orders by email, and you pay in bitcoin. I have emailed them to provide more information and will post to this thread when received."
I believe studies based on proteomics have shown that there are three major "steps" of aging. Step 1 usually happens in the 30s and primarily affects recovery ability. Step 2 happens around 55-65, and Step 3 happens in the mid-seventies. From what I've observed and heard from doctors who work...
This is likely another case where multiple pathways are involved. Women can apparently sense men who have compatible genes. Women's senses may be compromised by hormonal birth control however as described in the book "Your Brain on The Pill". We likely understand very little of what is going on...
I am part-way thru Dr kendrick's book-length discussion on the topic so hopefully there will be an answer in it, but I suspect it is because there are a lot of non-diet insults (like stress) that can damage the endothelium, and also because of certain areas where the blood flow is especially...
I agree, but I have one nit to pick which I think is important. The body has a very well-developed set of mechanisms for dealing with damage to the endothelium (what we would call CVD) which suggests it expects to have to deal with that issue. Supposedly non-industrialized cultures show some...
Some context and commentary:
- There is almost certainly no single cause of diabesity. For example, poor sleep has been shown to immediately create a degree of insulin resistance, and many things (like nutrient deficiencies, e.g. chromium, and lack of muscle mass) increase its likelihood.
- The...
I switched from HCG to clomid about 5 months ago and I think I slightly prefer the clomid. I will get bloodwork soon what LH is doing. I use around 80-100mg of cyp per week. I also tried enclomiphene alone and in combination with the clomid, but I seem to do well with just the clomid. I tried it...
You can try Butea Superba. Some claim that it raises DHT and I have found it to sometimes create the affects described for DHT, however I find it a bit inconsistent.
If you want to dig deeper into CRP I would start by listening to minutes 25-30 of Ben Greenfield's recent podcast with Dr. Matt Dawson. He says the CRP as typically measured does not correlate well as a predictor of diseases mediated by inflammation but a version called methylated CRP does...
First, there is no reason to think that even if aspirin increases risk of bleeding (not necessarily actual bleeding) or lesions that it is clinically significant given the millions of people who take it on a regular basis (including me).
Second, Rosuvastatin is far from risk-free. I had...
Deprenyl used to be big in the anti-aging world. You can get it from the Indian suppliers like alldaychemist. It primarily blocks the enzyme which breaks down dopamine however, as with anything, do your own research and see if it has good risk/reward to try for you.
