    Low E2 and not sure why

    Good job checking these too. So that rules that out as a cause

    Low E2 and not sure why

    I would get your testosterone level checked as well. If this is actually where ur E2 sits, and not a lab error, my guess is that ur testosterone levels are very low as well. Obv hard to believe since ur injecting it exogenously, but u never know. Just can’t see anything ur taking all of a sudden...

    What We Should Be Eating

    @Guided_by_Voices just finished watching a vid of Dave Asprey interviewing Dr Cate Shanahan, and wow, she’s an absolute wealth of knowledge. I already knew how bad seed oils were, but it was nice getting to hear someone talk about why they’re so bad, in such depth. And she’s also up on current...

    What We Should Be Eating

    Again, very interesting info/ concepts. I’m definitely open minded to the idea/ theory about there always being some level of endothelium damage, in some people, even when processed foods aren’t part of their diet. Very interested to hopefully hear what the reason(s) could be for it. Thanks...

    What We Should Be Eating

    Very interesting info. There’s other parts of our bodies that are constantly breaking down and rebuilding, so what ur talking about here doesn’t sound too far fetched Just doesn’t make sense tho that the body would evolve to always have some type of endothelium damage. Makes me think that it’s...

    Good point. They’ll most likely be done by the right people tho, since there’s no monetary incentive for the wrong people to do them

    What We Should Be Eating

    Very well said. Agree with everything u said, and my research backs up everything u mentioned, including seed oils being the biggest offender, in regards to type 2 diabetes, and honestly most health conditions, as well as how important sleep is, for insulin sensitivity, and the other factors u...

    What We Should Be Eating

    There’s definitely saturated fats in processed foods. Processed foods just usually contain other types of fats, for the most part. Including trans fats and monounsaturated fats

    What We Should Be Eating

    I can’t wait for studies/ clinical trials on carnivore to start coming out. If these studies were done implementing a carnivore diet, opposed to keto, I would expect to see 100% of the participants put their diabetes into remission. And that’s not an exaggeration. The issue with keto, is that...

    No feeling during ejaculation

    Yup, in the same boat. Libido is decent, but could definitely be better. Once I get into the act I get really into it tho. Finishing is a struggle tho. Sounds like topical dht gel can help with libido and sensitivity, but I’m pretty vain, and probably won’t be trying that simply because I’m...

    What We Should Be Eating

    I shouldn’t say reversing it is easy, I take that back. Knowing what to do, in order to reverse it, is extremely easy, and doesn’t take much time at all. But ur correct, implementing the strategies and diet/ lifestyle changes, on a consistent basis, is not easy for some people. I agree with that...

    Holy sh*t, they actually wrote this?? Like within the past 20 years?!? That’s fckn wild!! Some people are just beyond saving, when it comes to diet/ nutrition and optimal health. Lord help them. They will be seeing him/ her soon enough taking that advice

    What We Should Be Eating

    Ya I’m pretty sure using muscles after a meal basically just allows the muscles to act like a reservoir for glucose in the blood. Basically sucks up glucose from the blood into them. People that are insulin resistant have issues getting blood sugar into cells and muscles, and just out of the...

    What We Should Be Eating

    Was just watching a Ken berry vid this morning before work. And Anthony Chaffee is probably my #1 source for diet/ nutrition info. That guy is the perfect balance of intelligence, amazing memory, and having some of the best common sense/ critical thinking skills I’ve ever seen. He’s also...

    TRT Effect on 5 Alpha Reductase and Upstream Hormones- Cause of Low Mood and Anxiety?

    I’m thinking he meant more suppression, and just wrote it out wrong. Don’t think anyone would ever assume that 2 applications per day would result in less suppression than one per day, with the total dosage per day remaining the same

    No feeling during ejaculation

    Looks like u were about to ask something about selegiline but didn’t finish No, I can’t say I ever personally notice any clear benefits from taking it. I’ve taken it off and off many times. Currently taking it, in hopes to notice some benefits, but even if I continue to not feel anything super...

    What We Should Be Eating

    Nowhere in credible literature does it say that saturated fats cause insulin resistance. That’s just not true, and is impossible to show in any type of study/ clinical trial, simply because that’s not how the body works. Saturated fats cannot cause insulin resistance. Carbs aren’t responsible...

    Dude, @Systemlord for president!! Truth is, ur spot on about literally everything u just said. Sad truth is, there’s still tons of people out there that don’t realize it. I personally feel like everything u said is such obvious facts, at this point. Basically “durrr statements” I like to call...

    TRT Effect on 5 Alpha Reductase and Upstream Hormones- Cause of Low Mood and Anxiety?

    Wouldn’t 2x/ day application possibly result in more suppression, not less?

    High hematocrit risk

    Well said. Definitely agree with all of the above. And very interesting and helpful anecdote about the 3 point difference in ur HCT level Friday to Monday. I already knew HCT is based greatly on hydration level, and figured that hydration status could result in difference up to 3-4 points, but...

    TRT Effect on 5 Alpha Reductase and Upstream Hormones- Cause of Low Mood and Anxiety?

    This is actually exactly what I expected u to say lol. Figured u would say that it wasn’t an issue since ur feeling so good. Which absolutely makes sense. And that’s pretty cool that the transference isn’t as big of an issue as a lot of people think, at least for u and ur wife. Glad to hear that...

    High hematocrit risk

    Preach brotha. Like I’ve said in many other posts, common sense and critical thinking skills are key, when trying to make sense of things in life, and in this case particularly, whether or not a HCT of 50%+ should warrant a person to either donate blood/ get phlebotomized, or lower their...

    TRT Effect on 5 Alpha Reductase and Upstream Hormones- Cause of Low Mood and Anxiety?

    How’s things convenience wise for u with the cream? That was the biggest thing I didn’t like. But I can also see it not being very inconvenient for some. Where do u stand on that?

    What We Should Be Eating

    Like I said, only did full carnivore for maybe a month one time, and never got any labs done while on it. Reason I do carbs with a carnivore base is strictly because I want the carbs for gym performance, and to be able to gain muscle faster. If I didn’t care about the gym and building muscle, I...

    What We Should Be Eating

    Definitely not doing the carnivore diet atm. Never really have. Think I did it fully for like a month, at most, one time. But I do try to do as close to carnivore as I can, while still getting a good amount of carbs from raw honey, organic white rice and fruit, strictly for gym performance and...

    What We Should Be Eating

    I know, it really does lol. Think it’s just cuz this is a forum where people talk mostly about problems they’re experiencing, and I understand that they’re mostly looking for advice related to how they can adjust their protocols, in order to resolve these problems, but there’s just too much...

    What We Should Be Eating

    This is exactly why I feel like most studies/ clinic trials are either flawed or corrupt. Corruption is obv done on purpose, but being flawed is usually not intentional. It tends to happened due to lack of specific knowledge of whoever is running/ setting up these studies/ clinical trials But...

    Can’t say that I did lol. Thanks for doing so and saving the rest of us the time tho when u’ve done as much research into diet/ nutrition, as I have, u luckily have the luxury of not having to waste ur time anymore on studies and articles that u know aren't going to be worth ur time. In my...

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone
