Something you might look into is Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) which sounds like it has some overlapping symptoms with what you're dealing with. I just listened to the the recent Dave Asprey podcast on the topic with Dr. Tania Dempsey, so perhaps there are some clues there for you. There...

Yes, we need a crowd-funded private version of Janoshik's operation here in the US.

Thanks. I'm going to order some. That is a much more reasonable price. This topic is a good example of the egregious hucksterism that has permeated the world of "health influencers" where they are given product and paid to promote things without consideration of the cost effectiveness.

Which brand are you using?

I believe at one time it was approved for human use in France for TRT-like affects, and there was Doc in the US that recommended it for a while IIRC.. As with everything, it depends on what one is trying to accomplish, dose and duration, ester, and personal tolerance. It does not aromatize and...

XXXXXXXXXX is one of very few compounds that seems to specifically remove visceral fat. There would need to be data on what dose/duration starts to present kidney risk before using it long-term in humans however the doses used in the physique community are likely wildly excessive for the purpose...

You might try taking glycerin (same as glycerol) for the water retention. It is known to move water into the muscles. You might also try Nitric Oxide pills and see if that helps the viagra work better. I take the tablets from N1o1.com.

Clomid is generally pro-fertility and is sometimes used as a stand-alone therapy to increase fertility. Whether it would maintain fertility in the combination with gel I don't know, and would probably partially depend on the dose of each., so you would have to test your LH and FSH to see. Also...

Welcome. Have you had your LH and FSH checked? That should tell if you are still fertile with the gel. How long have you been on the gel? In general, some combination of a SERM (Clomid or more likely Enclomiphene) as well as a fast acting form of Testosterone such as the oral or nasal forms are...

The question here is whether the treatments are actually reasonable. Being screened by a group that is pushing statins will likely do more harm than good.

Absolutely BPC 157. I continue to have great results with the patches and I know other people who have had great results with it in general as well. Also I no longer have the reservation about transdermal delivery I had in my post above. DMSO is also worthwhile, as is something from the growth...

I find that a nap before my workouts is helpful. I also lift using a protocol that does not require or benefit from max-effort reps. A spoonful of ketones helps as well. I would be wary of any stimulant-laden products as they can create a cortisol response which is generally counter-productive...

If you're talking about muscle recovery, creatine and EAAs are a good start. If your're talking about recovery from the clomid, i don't know but sauna is a good way to detox in general. Dihydromyriceitin (DHM) might also be worth considering.

Given your high T levels (I am assuming you have been off of exogenous T long enough that it is from natural production) then the sooner you stop the PCT the sooner your body can normalize and hopefully return to a healthy state overall. PCT is to restore your natural T levels and you apparently...

First, all that Clomid in your system can create the symptoms you describe, and if you stop now it will take 4-6 weeks for it to mostly clear out, and then more time for your body to reset. If I'm understanding your situaiton correctly, you're going to have to give your body a chance to reset...

I apologize if I already said this in another thread. For me, being fully hydrated seemed to resolve the Hematocrit reading. I did my blood draw late morning after drinking as much water as I could including while in the waiting room. I have also had fairly low ferritin readings (I stopped...

I'll try to clarify. I've seen a lot of people assume that the natural rise and fall is "better" and go to extreme lengths to try to mimic it, however I have never seen logic or evidence that it would be optimal for the individual or the modern human species. I mean no disrespect to nature or...

BPC is my main go-to and it absolutely seems to help. I use the patches. I am less confident in TB500, and I think it needs to be used in larger amounts and may be more effective for fibrosis. I also recommend DMSO. Diclofenac may be helpful for pain but only if used to allow limited mobility...

We don't know what nature was optimizing for. I seem to do better with cypionate (although I have not tried every combination) but I think we can be confident that nature was not trying to have 60 Y/O's optimized for having lots of kids since that would not be historically optimal for the species.

It's blue light that you want to block, and people with sleep issues should generally avoid all forms of screen time including television for a few hours before bedtime. Also note the Zinc is a form of AI. Ai's, especially in excess seem to be a prime culprit for long-term problems. Take a look...

Have you tried the basics like melatonin, magnesium,. blue blockers in the evening, possibly XXX, sleep breakthrough, etc...?

My understanding is that a small dose of Niacinimide (e.g 50 MCG) is a good precursor and it is dirt cheap. Also, as Dr. Elizabeth Yurth and others have described, blocking the enzyme that breaks down NAD is also effective and Apigenin among other things will apparently do that.

I think the Dr. Phillips likely means well, however as an "older adult" I wonder if he has actually studied people in their 60's or above who are maintaining (or trying to maintain) abilities consistent with healthy people in their thirties (basketball ability being one of the best measures of...

Yes, I use the upright row with a fairly narrow grip, however, as with everything, you have to be on the lookout for any sign of damage. I only use light weights and use the movement to loosen up my shoulders and reactivate muscles if I am having some other issue.

This is why there IMO needs to be a private version of the FDA to test things and see if the low-priced one is the real thing. Also, this is also why the promotion of very over-priced supps whose effects are very hard to detect is a big problem with "biohackers" these days. The people who...

Have you looked into cortisol? Perhaps it might explain both the BP and sleep issues.

If there's an ROS elevation from AAS, that could explain part of the "craggy" look that a lot of long-term perma-blasters seem to get. The aging "clocks" still leave a lot to be desired and need to be validated against real-world performance.

I usually take around 200mg, although I go higher if my BP jumps (which it rarely does) or if I'm having muscle cramps. I thought I was getting enough potassium but adding more completely eliminated muscle cramping. I've also driven my BP too low with it which can be harmful as well.

Since it sounds like your BP is the fundamental issue, are you supplementing potassium and getting a decent amount of sodium? (Contrary to popular belief, very low sodium can raise BP.) High 40's is not all that high for HCT and I've had low ferritin (also at 10) before with no symptoms. I...

I have had and rehabbed from severe problems in both shoulders including something loosely similar to what you describe. Here are some thoughts. - Avoid any movement that seems to make it worse - Do light movements to get blood into the joint through every possible range of motion - If you can...

There have been cases of out-of-favor businesses being "debanked" and unable to use credit card payments, however that seems to have been relaxed (or they found a workaround) for the peptide companies unless something has changed recently. I still think it's a good idea to have a crytpo (likely...
