    Blood test feedback (incl before, during, after KETO - impressive results)

    Meant also ft3, ft4 because of your complaints (body fat, sleep, libido). Imho everyone has a different set point for body fat. It can be within a healthy range, however, just not fitting your/our expectations of a lean body. Even on super physiological levels of testosterone many men have to...

    Blood test feedback (incl before, during, after KETO - impressive results)

    Don't know what your off keto diet is but maybe a lower-carb diet is beneficial. I would also look at thyroid hormones.

    9 years on Gel - Switch to Injection - Effect on HCT?

    The gel seems to work well for you. Did you also test the trough T level? You can always go back to gel if the injections turn out to be inferior. If the gel is androgel 1%, you could switch to androgel 1.6%, so that you need only 2-3 pumps of gel instead of 4 pumps and benefit from quicker...

    About to Start a New Protocol

    I would only add the dhea and observe if there is an improvement in symptoms. Imho this is reasonable because your dhea-s tested deficient twice.

    Is Fiber Really Essential?

    If “essential” means absolutely required in the same way as some amino acids or certain vitamins, then fiber isn’t considered "essential" in that strict biochemical sense because the body doesn’t require it to perform basic metabolic functions or synthesize essential compounds.

    Starting TRT Soon

    I think that one can avoid mood swings and other initial side effects if one slowly increases the blood serum T and avoids overshooting. The baseline natural T level then matters because natural production decreases after TRT initialization. E.g. starting at 150 or 450 and aiming at 800 would...

    Fainting, High HCT, Low Ferritin — TRT Vet of 15+ Years Needs Help ASAP

    You could donate blood to calm your mind. I would also take an iron supplement as well as the psych meds if they help with the symptoms, and also talk to the psychiatrist. Edit: I'm not sure about the iron supplement after reading @Guided_by_Voices post. Edit2: Reading up on TIBC, saturation. I...

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.
