Agree on all counts as well. I was trying to play around with times taking Vitamin C not around my animal protein meals but dropped the idea as I had very sensitive gut at that time being and never felt good taking it. Tried a few forms but was same. Now I think I'm healed some so will be...- Belekas

Absolutely agree with all your points and to be fair I have been just talking with my mom regarding testing all family lp(a)s next time they do a lipid panel. Also been thinking about niacin as well if lp(a) is high. What a coincidence hehe or as they say "great minds think alike" ;) I've...- Belekas

Just had 1st CT Angiogram Scan done. Anyone experienced care to comment in simple layman terms?
No I don't. I will get a new BP monitor and see what its like now. Used to be great sub 120/80ish always and low RHR due to being an athlete and doing tons of cardio work in the last 20 consecutive years. I started Lexapro 4-5 weeks ago so very interested to see if that has any effect on BP...- Belekas

Can't find the most recent lipid panel and looks like I will need to run a new one fasted. Anyway I was lucky that my test result was shown to a group of cardiologists back in my country thanks to my mom. So they all agree I have mild narrowing/luminal stenosis which can be anywhere 10-50%. Now...- Belekas

Less than 50 mg of T per week
I've seen how he replies to serious questions and to be fair he is a clown as he can't handle any discussion politely and seems can't handle his ego as well. Nobody in their right set of mind would talk to other people like that esp when one is a doctor. Probably needs to lower his androgens and...- Belekas

Stopping trt without a pct?
Had too much on my plate that running labs was the last thing on my mind. It is what it is and next time will do a proper PCT which made me feel absolutely spot on when compared to this time cold-turkey. Im guessing that I'm below or at the baseline because I'm very lean. Was always lean but got...- Belekas

Yeah same here but sleep was never an issue for me.

Best Sleep Supplements
Unless it translates into full blown next day anxiety and/or panic attack shit. Plenty of issues as many can't tolerate this form, me included. Can tolerate Citrate though.

Stopping trt without a pct?
Been off TRT for the last odd 12 mos or something like that. Came off cold-turkey after the same time on and without PCT. I've done same only with PCT before but thought wtf might as well man up and see what happens. I have a lot of personal experience with aas, supps, nutrition, etc so I know...- Belekas

When testosterone isn't enough - major fatigue and brain fog.
Yeah can be anything and a combination of things and already good advice above from the fellow forum OGs.

Thats because your Doc is out to lunch. Yes Haemochromatosis is bad and depends on what genes you have and at what rate you load iron into organs.

Also with such "Iron Panel" #'s I would def run DNA genetic test to see if you are not loading Iron and/or have Hemochromatosis which might be hereditary. Perhaps you have already done so and have your raw DNA data?- Belekas

What are the appropriate DHT levels on TRT?
I never tested DHT due to it being expensive but now when I do full labs I will, including other markers, that are too expensive to run here in the UK. Some of the tests costs up to 5x the price compared to where I'm from. Pretty interesting to know current levels, won't lie.- Belekas
