    Blood test feedback (incl before, during, after KETO - impressive results)

    If you liked the results of keto but not the effort involved, I would suggest carnivore is much easier. Twice a day, I throw a salted piece of meat into an air fryer. It cooks for 10-15 min, I put it on a plate, add some fat to correct protein/fat ratio if necessary, done. Perfect metabolic...

    Where to get Enanthate 100mg/ml?

    New doctor (either local or telemedicine TRT clinic) or go UGL.

    Everything in range except E2 and LH almost at upper limit

    Yes, 100% do this. I missed this in the initial post.

    Help with blood test results and erectile dysfunction

    This is the type of lower fat, high refined carb, pseudo-healthy diet that most Americans are eating, resulting in 50% of the population being either prediabetic or diabetic. This is the direction you are also heading, unless you make significant course corrections. The ED you are dealing with...

    Help with blood test results and erectile dysfunction

    I think you are focused too narrowly on the particulars of your protocol and need to investigate the root cause of your excessive aromatization. Your HDL and triglycerides are abysmal and suggest serious metabolic dysfunction. Insulin strongly promotes the expression of aromatase enzyme. Excess...

    Everything in range except E2 and LH almost at upper limit

    Looks like hypogonadal estradiol, which aligns with your symptoms, and which would cause the pituitary to release more LH as it tries to raise estadiol. Testosterone is actually pretty good, but you aren't aromatizing enough. If you want to stay natural and just do something OTC to bump up E2...

    Why do some men need supraphysiological doses of testosterone to achieve normal levels

    Skin becomes inflamed, feels irritated to the touch and breaks out with acne. Fasting glucose, fasting insulin, HbA1c, lipid panel (watch triglyceride:HDL ratio), uric acid (driven up by fructose, both a marker for and cause of metabolic dysfunction), and ALT / AST / GGT (screen for liver harm...

    Any advice?

    That is overcomplicating things - there is no need. Any change in the T/E2 ratio that occurs when you reduce dose will be minor and very temporary. You'll just throw everything more out of wack by introducing an AI.

    What is Post SSRI's (Antidepressants) Sexual Dysfunction

    I'm sure I would if I bothered to share that. I find doctors totally useless at solving anything there isn't a well known treatment algorithm for, so I see no value in discussing it. You would have better luck with ChatGPT at this point if you want creative medical problem solving.

    Test levels DROPPED after RAISING dose

    This is confirmation of what I'm saying here, that OSA is really the larger factor, more so than the testosterone. So, if you want to run more testosterone, attack the OSA harder. And if you want more consistent levels, it is my opinion you'll get that with IM.

    Test levels DROPPED after RAISING dose

    I would think E3.5D with IM is going to have peaks large enough to make a significant negative difference. I would not make that move while struggling with hematocrit. How are you tracking the effectiveness of your OSA treatment? I bet there is room for improvement. This is likely the real...

    Test levels DROPPED after RAISING dose

    I personally find EOD IM with long esters to be a great compromise of stability and side effect management without having to poke yourself every day. I would be surprised if there were any substantial hematocrit difference between daily SC and EOD IM with cypionate at equivalent doses. Your...

    Test levels DROPPED after RAISING dose

    May I suggest injecting into the muscle instead? You may be like many of us, where your subcutaneous tissue is like a black hole that mysteriously makes testosterone disappear.

    Any advice?

    Probably needs to drop more to make a significant difference in both numbers and symptoms. I would drop 20 mg to 130 mg.

Understanding Your Hormones

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

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
