We now know that low levels of testosterone does cause issues. High levels we don't know, high levels are definitely much better than low levels. When I have my next wellness exam. I'm going to get another bone density test.- Vince

The idea of a U-shaped relationship for longevity is being refined, the current understanding suggests that low testosterone levels are associated with a greater risk of mortality, particularly from cardiovascular disease, while the evidence for increased risk at the higher end of the...- Vince

AI Overview When androgen levels are low, androgen receptors act as solo molecules, promoting cancer cell growth and spread. However, as androgen levels rise, the receptors form pairs, creating a form that inhibits tumor growth. This mechanism explains why, paradoxically, high androgen levels...- Vince

It turned out to be rather simple. When androgen levels are low, the androgen receptor is encouraged to “go solo” in the cell. In doing so, it activates the pathways that cause cancer cells to grow and spread. However, as androgens rise, the androgen receptors are forced to “hang out as a...- Vince

Thankfully I've never smoked haha. What percent of men actually get lung cancer from smoking? 10% maybe 20%? Hopefully we're not comparing TRT to smoking.

I do agree with the anxiety issue. Some men with anxiety, trt can help others it can really hurt. If someone has anxiety issues like Cataceous, you need to start very low. Let their hormones adjust slowly. Thankfully I do not fit in that box and have zero issues at least up to this point in...- Vince

Still you can't group everyone as the same. I started with 70 mg of T twice a week along with 500 IU twice a week. All my brain fog was gone. It was amazing.

Yes. there are members like you who need lower levels. My understanding is anxiety can be terrible and if someone needs lower level to combat anxiety, I'm all for it. This one size fits off doesn't work for me.- Vince

I think we both know people who do great on 200 mg of testosterone every two weeks, men who do good on 100 mg once a week and men who do good of 50 mg twice a week. There's also men like me who do good on every protocol. I know I'm exaggerating on the last one but it seems like it's true.- Vince

High doses failed you, correct? Many men had lowered levels when they were young so of course when they use TRT they must still aim for lower levels. Your levels are not much higher than when you originally started TRT. Is that correct?- Vince

I would say your panel looks pretty good. I do agree with you injecting twice a week. You may want to add in HCG. I think eventually you'll need to add HCG just to keep your testicles full, along with a good libido.- Vince

Shorter men may have a protective FOX03 gene:
For longevity, men who are shorter tend to live longer than taller men. Studies suggest that men under 5'4" or even 5'2" may have a protective advantage, potentially due to factors like the FOX03 gene and lower fasting insulin levels, according to Healthline. The FOXO3 gene plays a significant...- Vince
