    Interesting injury

    Was it a quick burning sensation followed by soreness? That happens to me occasionally. I have not quite figured out the cause, but have narrowed it down to these possibilities: https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/22639-cervical-radiculopathy-pinched-nerve...

    Thinking about TRT and could use some guidance

    I understand that one of your top priorities is your hair. I share that concern with you. Since you have dug in to defending what is widely regarded as one of the worst drugs for men to take, I will leave you with this and wish you the best of luck. The entire study can be found here...

    Oral Minoxidil for Hair Loss

    That is true, although the newer lasers are much more effective than older models and even on some grey hair. If a person has a lot of grey, or just very light colored hair, laser would not be a good choice. Dark skin also makes a difference. I am fortunate to have very dark and course body hair...

    Oral Minoxidil for Hair Loss

    Results are good for most everyone, but the lighter your skin and the darker your hair improves the outcome. For this reason, it's not possible to predict a single success ratio for everyone. As a general rule, you need 10 to 12 sessions spread out over a 6-8 week period to achieve permanent...

    Thinking about TRT and could use some guidance

    "While I am a full believer that Fin has side effects I also believe they mostly resolve just like any other drug." For some, that may be somewhat true. But for a very large subset of people who have taken oral Finasteride, the side effects were horrible. Some have never fully recovered. Here...

    Thinking about TRT and could use some guidance

    "I understand it is not necessarily a fat loss agent. However, T does help increase metabolism and the increased lean body mass helps with a higher basal rate that helps weight loss. GLP1s are great if you just want to get thin and don't care that you are losing as much muscle as fat." That is...

    Thinking about TRT and could use some guidance

    Embrace DHT fully, don't fall into the trap set by those who demonize it due to potential hair loss. As stated above, if it comes down to it you can buy a great hairpiece or just shave your head. Manly mojo brings far more overall satisfaction than hair does.

    Thinking about TRT and could use some guidance

    There are a lot of different opinions on TRT and HCG protocols. IMHO, your doctor started you on a protocol that I have had major success with personally. That is almost identical to what I have been doing for years. But since your concerns have been addressed by some very smart people above...

    Thinking about TRT and could use some guidance

    What he^ said... Oral Finasteride is pure poison. Get off of it ASAP and make no other changes for 30-60 days. Then see how you feel. From a personal perspective, I was on oral Finasteride for 30 days back when it was new and people didn't have the info they do now. I lost all sensitivity in my...

    BPC-157 injection site importance?

    We had a member here that was a pretty good source but has since faded from contact. I don't know what happened there... Peptide Science is the absolute best out there at this point. They aren't always the cheapest, but you do want to be certain of what you are putting in your body.

    Oral Minoxidil for Hair Loss

    I have had great results with topical 15% Minoxidil. If oral Minoxidil causes hair growth in other parts of the body, then that is no bueno as I have spent 100's of $$$ on laser hair removal and DO NOT want to stimulate any growth anywhere but on my head. ;)

    DHT Cream Plus Testosterone Propionate = Major Libido Boost

    I also noticed that it is very easy to create a fake Jano report. That can work both ways, one for the seller to lie about the product, and two for the buyer to create a false claim. Here are the test results posted by Rhinestone Cowboy showing that the sample of the DHT Gel contained only...

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.
