Please tell me how vitamin D supplementation has caused calcium deficiency, let's discuss.
I just had a thought, what if overdosing on vitamin D initially after starting carnivore red meat = lot of iron (Ironman) led to excessive iron absorption and with calcium competing with iron, forced calcium of through the kidneys further exacerbating iron absorption and vitamin D compounding...- Systemlord

Please tell me how vitamin D supplementation has caused calcium deficiency, let's discuss.
I just ate 6 eggs and eyes burn, skin burns. Skin can turn red. Feel groggy and sleepy. I feel high. Sometimes taking calcium helps, but only one or twice then no affect. Sometimes taking vitamin K helps, then no affect after that. I had the same problems with diabetes drugs, a one time...- Systemlord

Please tell me how vitamin D supplementation has caused calcium deficiency, let's discuss.
I figured it out. I had been on 2000 units vitamin D for a year before starting carnivore, no issues, 24 level. A week after starting carnivore I gradually started having these issues. I simply became more sensitive to vitamin D and vitamin C due to normal glucose. I tried mag, made the problem...- Systemlord

Diminished sexual function after starting TRT
I've been on TRT on and off for 10 years, on the longest for solid 6 years, came off and HPTA rebooted very quickly, within 4.5 weeks after stopping injections and 7 days on short acting oral testosterone. Permanent atrophy is unlikely.- Systemlord

Diminished sexual function after starting TRT
Hard to tell if your T levels are actually on a steady decline over this period of time. Many things contribute to T production, diet, sleep and even overtraining which will effect T negatively.

Diminished sexual function after starting TRT
The cause is hCG, which is common to see sexual function degrade in some men. The LH receptors weren't meant to be stimulated in a near constant state, LH receptors are meant for pulsatile stimulation. The half-life of LH is 20 minutes, the half-life of hCG is 24-36 hours. Big difference! Some...- Systemlord

Bloodwork Results - Thinking About Starting TRT
I had been on TRT for almost 8 years on and off, came off twice and recovered fertility quickly and I'm 24 years older than you. If you take too much zinc, this could act as a aromatase inhibitor and decrease estrogen. You would have to be hyper sensitive to zinc for this to happen. I don't...- Systemlord

How long does testosterone drop after stopping
Once every two weeks isn't recommended, suggest you ditch the clueless doctor. This protocol will create large swings in hormones and you'll lack a consistent hormone profile.

TRT Peaks and troughs or steady levels. Which is correct?
I only responded to oral testosterone. Turns out I didn’t need it. My original health problem was T2 diabetes, which caused iron and vitamin D deficiency. The treatment was TRT!

What other symptoms? The majority of members included in a pole/thread I created felt better with higher than normal testosterone, 68% to be exact. If your SHBG is low, there’s nothing you can do about it on TRT. SHBG, regardless of the level shouldn’t be your main focus for your symptoms.- Systemlord
