Has anyone tried the new weight loss plan called GOLO? It is being promoted by a reputable Johns Hopkins Physician name Dr. Keith Ablow. It claims to offer a supplement and a meal plan/lifestyle that offers a reduction in insulin resistance which results in less belly fat. I have not tried it...

Well Just an update I am about in the middle of a 90 day course of Chlomid and DHEA. And as you saw above I have seen an increase in my T levels. At 90 days I will test again. As for how I am feeling which is the real test. I have to say better. Mood moderately better, but also some things...

I know this is an old post and I am not the expert on here. But it seems to me there is a very large psychological component here. He seems to be wanting to perform very well and he is putting a lot of undue pressure on himself. Then when he gets alone with his girl he magically has wood. Not a...

I am not making a jump to anything. Just showing an interesting article. No need to react so sarcastically. I would think that anyone that is concerned about their liver health and taking fish oil would want to be fully informed. Many clinical research studies are done with laboratory animals...

I cut and pasted this article from a mailer that I have. It quotes a scientific study about problems with using fish oil and what it does to the liver. Let me know what you guys think: How this specific fat (palm oil) fixes your liver The liver is the biggest organ in the body, and before you...

Got it. This is all totally new to me.

I am mid fifties, never been on anything. I have no medications or prescriptions until I went down this path. Just been working on nutritional and exercise lifestyle stuff so far. Never even did Testosterone.

I completely agree Jackie. These are the exact same issues. One other area is the love handles. Very hit or miss with 1ML 1/2" 29G, of Lipo-C sometimes fine but my left one has a slight soreness for almost two weeks now. Very strange makes me think I hit something.

This is interesting. I wonder if that is always the case? I don't feel worse but I don't feel better either. Would you guys normally expect an increase in T from 260 to 581 to feel noticeably better? I also wonder if I stay on for another month would that increase it more? If so how much more...

Well I have a little more to report. I went on a small dose of Chlomid daily for 35 days. At thirty days I had my T checked. Good news is it went up by what I think is a significant amount. From 260 to 581. I was happy with that. My diet is different now. So that may have had some effect also...

This is exactly my experience Jackie. I used it in the deltoid 1ML of Lipo-C with 29G 1/2" and it went in ok. But had a frog feeling of soreness in my arm later. It is ok now. But back of the arm works much better. And butt is good. Stomach really bruises bad but does not hurt, just leaves a...

I am on Chlomid now and so far I can say I feel a little better. No big changes. Only been about 30 days so far and set to get more blood work. I will report on my results coming up.

So far the arms and gluts seem to be the best sites for me. Thigh hurt, not sure if I was doing it in the right spot on the thigh. Love handles seem to be ok, I am not fat but not skinny either. So I do have some typical body fat areas. However once in the love handle it did leave a long term...

Thanks Ero. What specific part of the thigh do you prefer? And does this avoid the muscle?

Just an update. I have tried several locations with the 29g 5/8" needle 1 ML of B complex, mostly a success so far. Shots in the belly are not so good, lots of bruising, does not hurt, sides work good but still get sore a day or two later, glut works good, some soreness a day or two later. Going...

I am beginning to see that you are right. Did one Sunday night in my upper thigh on the side. The sting was minimal, but apparently this area goes into the muscle even with only a 5/8" needle. Did not really hurt much until a little later. Then it got sore. That muscle kind of sore like a muscle...

Ok...so I did the 29g 5/8" needle with 1ML of B complex. This time i did it in my butt up high and I did what the doc recommended which was to rub it right after injecting it. It hurt very slightly at first then nothing. It injected very easily almost no effort on the plunger. Then I rubbed it...

So it has been almost a week and things are going kind of ok. Couple of things. First injection of B complex was 1ml into my stomach subq. 26G needle with 5/8". Did not hurt at all going in, went in fine. Major accomplishment for me since I really dont like needles. After a couple of days it...

Thanks for all the input guys. B complex shot did not hurt, it did leave a little bruise a day later but not sore or anything. I am non Clomide, and DHEA also. Even though my T is very low we are trying these things first. Hopefully I can avoid T.

That's good to know because walgreens does not sell them without a prescription. Kind of annoying. It's not illegal so why do they do that?

Yes it is Vitamin B complex not T. As for the amount yes it seem like a lot for a subcutaneous injection but that is what is recommended. I did the first one last night and it seemed ok. In the stomach, did not hurt at all with 26G, 5/8". No soreness afterward also. I am not sure how to convert...

I have been prescribed B complex to self inject. Doc told me to do 1ML twice a week. Gave me 3ML sub Q, 26 Gauge x 5/8" syringe. Did not hurt too bad. But want to move to a smaller size. I am trying to locate them. My Walgreens did not even want to talk about it without a prescription. Checked...

Also I have my egfr value it was on the lab it is 63. So is that ok?

I am going to doctor about low testosterone. I am 5'9" and 175 lbs. I sleep fairly well get up to pee once a night, and wife says I snore a lot. I am not on any medications. Overall healthy from the standpoint of rarely getting sick.

George thanks for the analysis. That helps he understand some of this. I have heard that statin drugs are very harmful even though they are routinely prescribed in the US. That they can suppress liver function and in the end lead to serious problems.

Here are my lab results at least the main ones: 53 YO, 5'9" 175 lbs not fat but belly and soft. Not much muscle mass. Total T: 260 Free T: 5.6 WBC: 4.5 RBC: 5.0 Hemaglobin: 14.6 Hematocrit: 43.2 Glucose: 91 BUN: 15 Creatine Serum: 1.28 (High) Total Cholesterol: 234 Triglycerides: 98 HDL: 42...

Thanks I will post when I get them.

Another question I have made some attempts to bring get testosterone in line with nutrients and lifestyle things such as vitamin D,vitamin A,iodine,magnesium, DHA, calcium citrate,zinc, brazil nuts, clean meats amd cheeses, cutting out soy and soy products, excercise, boxing and lifting, not...

Thanks for all the welcomes. Where do I post my labs, on this thread?

Hello new to the site, trying to understand TRT. I am 53 we to my urologist he is good at break fix stuff like prostate cancer etc. But is not very interested in my low testosterone level of 260. Free testosterone is 5.6. However he did offer to administer it after I mentioned Defy. Waiting on...
