Appreciate the in-depth response. Although many of Centeno's patients inquire about BPC-157, he remains skeptical of peptides in general mainly due to his past fight with the FDA over his clinic's PRP/stem cell protocols which made him skittish about adding compounds that have, at best, only...

Where are you seeing that in the Regenexx blog? I have just finished having an in-depth consultation with my local Regenexx clinic and I'm looking at having several joint issues addressed using a combination of special concentrate PRP and BMAC stem cell injections. I brought this issue of...

Updated labs revealed slightly less on the TT but my FT went up substantially.

I am strill trialing KS-10, not enclomiphene yet. So far into the 2nd month, have not seen a continued increase in total T, but a substantial increase in free T. Can't tell any difference in how I feel.

Nelson - for the surgery, do you recall if you had open release surgery in which you had stitches - or percutaneous release which is minimally-invasive, ultrasound-guided and without stitches? How long was the post-op pain and recovery time?

Already tried a few times and didn't work, so release is only option at this point. Just don't know why it happens in my case and I don't see any other lifters who been training for decades getting this problem.

Thanks, but have already been using those peps and then some. No change.

I am not a fan of BigPharma, but Telmisartin is an exceptionally excellent drug and the best of all the ARBs. I take 80mg once daily. Zero side effects. Many health benefits. https://www.lifeextension.com/magazine/2015/3/best-drug-to-treat-hypertension Since it is a potassium-sparing compound...

I have had over 10 years of experimenting with every form of thyroid replacement (sustained-release T3, T4 monotherapy, T3 monotherapy, commercial NDT, custom-compounded NDT, T3 + NDT, T4 + NDT) and I have found the most effective to be custom-compounded NDT which I have made with ascorbic acid...

Big topic. Lots of debate. The + and - of TRT will never end. If you haven't already, why not try a secretagogue that helps your body produce it naturally with none of the TRT-related side effects or negative feedback loop issues (i.e. Enclomiphene, hCG, Kisspeptin-10)? That's what I'm...

In my first trial with KS-10, my total T levels increased 40% after a month on 100mcg/day (You can read about it on my previous post here) - but - I was also taking tesa/ipa/cjc which may have an influence on T levels as well. I am now awaiting the labs after upping the dose of KS-10 to 100mcg...

If you can't get brand nebivolol via insurance you can try getting it via the Abbvie Patient Assistance program for 0 out of pocket or getting it cheap as a generic since that is now available.

I would look into Bystolic (nebivolol). It is a 3rd generation beta blocker, is far superior to any of the previous generation BBs, is neutral or beneficial on lipids, glucose and insulin sensitivity, and is the only BB that produces endothelial nitric oxide. I combine it with Mycardis...

Nope

Nope.

Did your hernias come from improper form, straining during lifts and not strengthening core enough?

Nope.

My levels increased 40% after a month on 100mcg of KS-10 from Peptide Sciences. I am now doubling the dose to see if I can increase it further. You can read about it on my previous post here.

Were they succesful? Was mesh used?

Did you have the hernias surgically repaired?

Did you have surgery to correct? Looks like DRA can be corrected sometimes with certain exercises but not always. May take too long and not reverse. Umbilical hernia can only be corrected with surgery. I think I should talk with a surgeon to get his take. According to Heath, his surgery went...

I had no idea Phil Heath had DRA + double hernia + intestinal strangulation! https://muscleinsider.com/news/phil-heath-undergoes-hernia-surgery...

Any papers to show that? Everything I've seen is that it is a driver for diabetes, CVD and malignancies.

So, 100mcg in a.m. and 100mcg in p.m. as an example. Any thoughts as to the risks of elevated IGF-1 levels from the GH secretagogues?

Has anyone done a CAC scan and CCTA and observed a wide difference in results? My recent CCTA (coronary computed tomography angiography; see below) showed "no evidence of coronary atherosclerotic plaques or coronary artery stenosis". This is in direct contrast to the CAC scan I had done in 2021...

Big n-1 results update. With all the gym bros telling me for the last 10 years that GH secretatgogue peptides are a scam and a waste of $$$$ - and that good ol' GH is superior and the only way to go - - - Let me preface this post by saying that these peptides do work. I repeat. THESE PEPTIDES...

A recent metformin study casts doubts on longevity indications Thoughts?

Is this an alien baby about to burst out of me? You can see the protruding midline bulge when I lay on my back and tilt my neck up. You can also see an umbilical hernia. I really wonder whether specific PT core exercises will fix this over time - or if this will eventually require surgery. I...

I'm already taking Telmisartan and it still ddn't subside. Strange.
