    Anti-aging skin care product recommendation?

    Does anyone have something that seems to work? What does the science tell us on what to look for? Not sure where to start with looking for something. For me, this is preventative more than anything. My skin is pretty good for someone in their 50's, but I'm hoping to keep it going.

    Am I having side effects from Anastrozole?

    My recent TRT history can be found in my other threads, so I won't repeat it here. Briefly: I'm about 7 weeks in on TRT. About a week and a half ago, the Doc (very experienced in TRT), started me on anastrozole with DIM due to Estradiol at the high end of the reference range, and lack of...

    Question about estradiol and the sensitive estradiol test

    When evaluating T, we look at the total T, as well as the free T. But when we look at estradiol, there seems to be only one number. Does the estradiol test measure free estradiol, or total? It would seem to me that if estradiol is bound to SHBG, then it would be of little consequence, and...

    Great video Q & A covering the latest research on Ketogenic (low carb) diets

    TRT not linked to increased blood clots

    Filling a testosterone prescription was not associated with increased risk for venous thromboembolism in middle-aged and older men, according to a new case-control study. In June 2014, the FDA mandated a general warning on labels of testosterone products about the risk for VTE after receiving...

    Testosterone: "Normal" test numbers, and what they mean?

    I am 51 years old and experiencing symptoms of low T. I have read Nelson Vergel's very helpful book, but I am still unclear about whether my T is low, based on my test results. My doctor did a T test last year upon my request (before I had any idea that TRT was even a mainstream option). He...

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
