    Warning for Men on TRT: Low Ferritin is Bad

    I've been on HCG for 6-8 years or so. No issues I am aware of although there is at least clinic operator who thought that the body can develop an allergy to it with lng-term use, and that breaks are a good thing. I have been using clomid when I travel to take a break, but overall I'm not aware...

    10 Years on TRT and Only Recent Libido Issues

    Probably Multi-Vitamin, which makes this a good time to point out a few of the problems with MVs. - Wrong/incomplete forms: for example, Vitamin E is is usually just alpha tocopherol in MVs - Low dosage, for example magnesium, potassium, vitamin C and D - Conflicting nutrients, for example Zinc...

    10 Years on TRT and Only Recent Libido Issues

    Most people are low in all of these, unless you work as a lifeguard, and maybe not even then. You want 50 or higher for Vitamin D. I'm not sure the units on the others but if you're not supplementing you're likely low, and there's no real risk of overdose. You also need to take Vitamin K2 with...

    10 Years on TRT and Only Recent Libido Issues

    I would star with no more that 100-300 micrograms. The commonly used doses are way too high IME. There are other threads here about it and Peptide Sciences carries it.

    My LIPID PANEL Should I be concerned?

    IMO, no., you should not be concerned except to try to get trigs down a little bit. But you should always look for ways to increase your heart health. As far as cholesterol goes, other things are far more important, such as avoiding blood sugar spikes and keeping fasting insulin down. I strongly...

    10 Years on TRT and Only Recent Libido Issues

    You might also look into nitric oxide supplements via pills (I uses N1o1) or beet root powder. PT-141 my also help.

    Low dose nandrolone for women.

    I'm know I'm not answering your direct question, but you might want to investigate the podcasts of Dr. Elizabeth Yurth at boulderlongenvity.com and Dr. Suzanne Ferree in Alphareta Ga. They are both quite knowledgeable on Peptides for women and Dr. Yurth has an extensive orthopedic background. I...

    10 Years on TRT and Only Recent Libido Issues

    Under-eating is also something to rule out. Beyond all the above, changes in your relationship(s) are also something to consider. Libido has a lot of under-appreciated, difficult-to-control factors such as pheromones that may be in play in some way.

    GLP-1 Medications (Semaglutide, etc.) Decrease Sex Drive

    It's hard to say whether the issue is the drug or chronic under-eating, which in itself is well-known to crush libido. It would be interesting to know if libido returned once people are of the drugs and at some sort of steady state condition.

    Elevated PSA

    That would do it. In any event you should review the things that can falsely elevate PSA.

    Elevated PSA

    Prostatitis is IIRC the term you want to search for. I don't know too much about it but I know people and have heard of people resolving prostate issues by fixing an infection that you would not have sensed systemically. Dr. Gundry mentioned on one of his podcasts that he resolved his enlarged...

    Elevated PSA

    Step one with PSA is always retest, making sure that you didn't do anything like ejaculate or go for a recent bike ride that would create a falsely high number. Infection is also something to rule out. The same thing happened to me but it came right back down.

    Results from my ultrasound of right Achilles tendon.

    People with Tendon issues may want to listen to the Tim Ferriss podcast with Keith Baar. It is very tendon- centric and omits things like DMSO which are essential first-line go-to's IME, but it has a lot of interesting information about tendon health and injuries. For example, apparently ACE...

    Stop Using Mouthwash And Dental Hygiene

    It sounds like you are on a good path, although I stopped consistently using the Hydrogen Peroxide rinse as it may be excessive. Holding C BD oil in the mouth seems to help me. The trick seems to be finding things that kill the bad bacteria and leave the good bacteria there and Silver...

    I need some serious help with ED

    I've only ever used the injectable. Some people ake their own nose spray but I see no reason since the injectable takes hours to have an affect. There are other things you can try also to boost the effect of PDE5i's such as Nitric Oxide tablets. I use the ones froirm N1o1.

    I need some serious help with ED

    First, I agree with Funk. Chronically high blood sugar will destroy your body and even if something on the ED fronts works, it won't for very long until you get your blood sugar under control which there are many ways to do. Beyond that, DHEA is helpful for some people, and I am a big believer...

    Supraphysiologic testosterone (350 mg weekly)

    I agree with Vince that looking into things like chronic infection or gut micro-biome issues, both of which could cause your symptoms, is a good place to start. The issue with recovering your production is that 1) something that works for most people may not occur for you, and more importantly...

    What would you do? HCT vs. BP

    Also, you need to get a BP measuring device and take multiple readings throughout the day. A single reading, especially in an unfamiliar setting is notoriously unreliable. And step one for blood pressure is to make sure you're getting plenty of potassium.

    Potential Causes of Low Testosterone

    I think most here would agree that there are almost too many issues with your protocol to list. Are you dependent on insurance, and if not, have you considered a Telehealth provider who specializes in Hormones such as Defy? In the meantime, a protocol to consider would be to drop the T to 60mg...

    Has anyone had any really bad sides with PT-141?

    How much did you use? More than 300mcg is unnecessary and a potential problem IME, however it may just not be for you.

    Vitamin D Status Determines Cardiometabolic Effects of Testosterone Replacement Therapy in Men with Late-Onset Hypogonadism

    Immune function alone suggests everyone should have a vitamin D level over 50, so other benefits are a nice bonus.

    TRT plus Low dose Ligandrol LGD-4033

    The problem I see with the SARM category is that there is not the body of evidence, either from studies, analysis or crowd-sourced reports that exists for other AAS. They certainly have an affect, however their risk/reward profile is not as well understood. Perhaps that will start to change...

    Seven Point Drop in Hematocrit with This Supplement

    I had never heard of this but will try the ingredients before my next blood test since my HCT went up for no apparent reason. Lumbrokinase is supposedly much stronger than Nattokinase so I will try that as well. Interestingly (to me) according to Dr. Kendrick ( in his book The Clot Thickens) ACE...

    HCG to combat testicular atrophy and low libido

    Several ideas...you may want to experiment with DHEA and PT-141 or Melanotan-2 (if you do not get frequent sun exposure) as both of these can enhance libido in some people. Do your research but if you try PT/MT I strongly recommend a starting does of no more than 300 micrograms 3 times per week...

    Clomid

    In my observation, it is sufficiently rare for someone to be well-dialed-in that when you are, changing something major is a horrible idea. It's especially horrible since your body is adjusted to your prior protocol and there is no assurance that if you change and then switch back, that you can...

    Does HCG Cause Alzheimer's Disease?

    Elevated LH could also be a marker for low T, which is a risk factor for Dementia, so it may not be the LH at all.

    Does HCG Cause Alzheimer's Disease?

    Step one for people concerned about dementia is to follow the recommendations in Dr. Bredesen's dementia reversal protocol. Even if a study showed HCG increased risk, if it was done in a population which was trying to give themselves dementia (which is the majority of people in th US) then the...

    A popular hair loss drug and its lesser-known, rare and potentially life-altering side effects

    Antics with semantics in the above... - 4% does not seem "rare" - "Life altering" should be "life destroying" - "persist for years" should likely be "permanent for most of those afflicted with no reliable cure"

    Hesitating on TRT, Does Anyone Have Regrets?

    As @Type_IIx has covered elsewhere and I think Nelson has referenced in regard to Oxandrolone, the difference between AAS compounds is large and supports what @Cataceous is saying, although with less data on the recently introduced forms. For example there was a study that showed Oxandrolone...

    Hesitating on TRT, Does Anyone Have Regrets?

    While I don't regret TRT, if I had it to do over again and in situations like yours, I would take a much more staged and focused approach and try to address your issues with less invasive options to start with. Some thoughts: - Consider starting with a SERM like clomid or enclomiphene at a low...

    Dead lift grip strength

    I use and recommend the basic straps for under $10. With those you still get normal grip involvement. Also, I assume you are using an over/under grip w/o the straps, but using only overhand on your lightest sets can give some additional grip work. Bottom line is that your overall deadlift...
