But, doesn't Dr. Saya pretty much let you call your own shots since your knowledge is at a pretty high level with egards to TRT?

If he's willing to respond here, I'd like to know Dr. Saya's position on the use of AI's in estradiol management. Does he try to keep men's estradiol within a narrow range...? I ask because of something Nelson posted in another thread regarding former patients of Dr. Crisler and Defy. Defy...

Are you on testosterone monotherapy? I thought you were pretty much dialed in awhile ago?

Why not identify the doc who told you it was "all in your head"? How about the clinic that put you on a crazy protocol? I don't understand why folks want to cover up for a bad doc, or clinic, by keeping them anonymous. Rant off.

I'm 61, and am not on TRT...yet. Would it be smart to have these other 2 hormones tested since they decline with age?

Welcome!

Taking fertility out of the equation, does HCG eliminate the need for pregnenolone and DHEA supplementation? Does pregnenolone and DHEA supplementation eliminate the need for HCG, if we take fertility out of the equation?

Am I understanding Dr. Gordon correctly? If you supplement with pregnenolone you will circumvent the problem of losing the 11 regulatory hormones that deal with depression? Sounds simple enough.

In a podcast, Dr. Gordon made this remark which I think may be worthy of discussion in light of some guys wanting to go on testosterone as a monotherapy. "...we used to get patients coming to us who are on testosterone four to six months later. They say, you know doc at the beginning of...

That's why I thought maybe a lab error. Not that it matters, the first lab was done at the hospital; the second was at Labcorp.

Yeah, definite room for improvement. I'm testing red light therapy daily for the next 2 months to see if I can raise the free-T. That's why I had the January lab done just prior to the red light therapy. I'll do the next blood draw in 2 months.

No on the orgasm. The second test was done the day after a workout (back, legs). I don't recall whether or not I worked out the day prior to the first lab.

Exactly the same time.

Probable lab error?

I'm 61, 6'2", 170lbs, and not on HRT. June 2018 I ran total and free T labs. Results were 368 for total T, 8.83 for free T. My FNP said I was not a candidate for TRT due to the 368 total T. Jan 2019, I ran the same labs. Results are 609 for total T, and 15 for freeT. The lifestyle changes...

But, I don't think Dr. K was giving the "outliers" a pass by any means, not after his remarks concerning bone loss...At best, I think he was suggesting AI use on only a temporary and limited basis for anyone and everyone.

A question for "Nelson", please

Yeah, that was confusing. If you go from injecting every 3rd day to every 4th day at a reduced dose, you would be decreasing the frequency, not increasing the frequency, right? And yeah, for eliminating E2 symptoms, this is ass backwards from what we normally hear.

So, Dr. K states that long term use of AIs does damage, at least with regards to bone density, in all men except for the odd outlier, regardless of dosage. This is, of course, diametrically opposed to Dr. Crisler's position, who has frequently stated that there are no studies showing harm when...

YBWV, are/were you in the medical profession? :)

Regarding the recent interview with Dr. Rouzier on the benefits of estradiol in men, he cites numerous studies which have been deemed as "flawed" by some of the members here. Dr. Crisler regards them as "invalid", I believe, due to the inaccurate immunoassays upon which they are based. If...

At the 45:15 mark, Dr. Kominiarek discusses this issue a bit.

I was wondering if any of you have ever perused that forum. They have an HRT sub-forum, as well as all the anabolic cycles talk elsewhere in the main forum. What a curious world they have. I'm surprised how many of the guys there on TRT are running there own labs and self-administering their...

Is it possible the good doctor is a victim of his own confirmation bias?

TOT Doctors Roundtable on YouTube, usually at 4pm, We'd... sometimes 5pm. Chatroom is simple.

It is also about maintaining optimal human physiology, if possible. Is it optimal to shut down LH receptors throughout the body?

You might also join the TOT Roundtable this Wed., and ask Dr. Nichols in the chat room. He seems to have somewhat "popularized" this delivery system.

Of course, Dr. Rouzier would say, "You want to reduce the health benefits of estradiol just a little bit"?:confused:
