Thanks. I can't even begin to tell you how much this site has helped me.

Thanks for the info, guys. it seems that the syringes/needles are allowed in carry on by TSA? Is there a proper way to dispose of used syringes/needles on the road, or should they be brought back with you?

I started TRT a week ago and already I am starting to feel significant positive changes. My protocol is compounded T gel with daily HCG injections. Sorry if this question has already been answered, but I have not found it: Since HCG needs to be refrigerated, any tips for how to travel with...

Vince, I know there is a lot of interest around Metformin in the anti-aging community, and they are discovering other potential uses as well as its long time use in increasing insulin sensitivity. But I also follow some diabetes blogs, and there is also concern that Metformin may have bad as...

I'm about to start on TRT, the first batch of meds should be arriving this week so we'll see what that does. Things have not been serious enough to take Metformin. I can eat carbs, I just need to be careful. I'm trying to get some in me just before and after lifting.

I do question the statement that meat causes the same insulin release as pure sugar. In my case, I typically have a breakfast of 4 eggs fried in coconut oil, 4 strips of bacon, and coffee. If I check my blood sugar within an hour after eating, it is usually around 110. A breakfast of hash...

My numbers are: Cholesterol, total. 188 HDL. 75 LDL. 101 Triglycerides. 58 My HDL increased significantly, while LDL and triglycerides stayed about the same. i started out Ketogenic, but right now am probably just low carb, as I increased protein and added a little carb to try to...

I've been on a low carb diet for a couple of years now to control high blood sugar. It not only improved blood sugar control, but a side effect was I lost all excess body fat without even trying. My lipid profile, although always very good, improved even more. The Muscle Prof explains the...

Filling a testosterone prescription was not associated with increased risk for venous thromboembolism in middle-aged and older men, according to a new case-control study. In June 2014, the FDA mandated a general warning on labels of testosterone products about the risk for VTE after receiving...

Do they need to be in contact with your regular doctor, or do you need to obtain something from your regular doctor to send to them? I have brought up the subject of T replacement with him, and he's pretty hostile towards anything to do with the idea. So I need to proceed carefully. I have a...

Thanks, Vince. For this type of therapy, is there any advantage to an in-person visit? Is there any need for physical examination, or is everything simply based on lab results? I have been been starting to research my options, and noted that Dr. Crisler does require an initial in person...

Do you have to go to Florida to consult with Defy? i am in Chicago and I see low testosterone.com has locations here. i am also considering driving to Michigan to try Dr. Crisler' clinic.

Dave I don't want to turn this political, but as a self-employed person I am FAR better off now with the affordable care act than I was before. Before, every couple of years my health insurance was cancelled, and I had to re-apply. Luckily I had no health problems because if I did, they would...

Thanks. When I see my doctor I will ask him for recommendations, however he may not be very knowledgeable in this subject matter. Any recommendations for places to look in Chicago, along with the reasons you would recommend? A quick google search brings up tons of places nearby, but I have no...

Thanks, Nelson. I'm not too concerned about getting insurance to pay for anything. I'm self-employed and the only insurance that has been available has had a deductible of $2,000 per year, which now will raise to $6,000 per year with the affordable care act. It only covers basic wellness care...

I am 51 years old and experiencing symptoms of low T. I have read Nelson Vergel's very helpful book, but I am still unclear about whether my T is low, based on my test results. My doctor did a T test last year upon my request (before I had any idea that TRT was even a mainstream option). He...
