So I want to take metformin for all it preventative properties. My family has a strong history of diabetes (dad, paternal grandpa, and aunt in maternal side)so that could be a matter of time. I have elevated ldl which it reduces, and run on the high side of blood pressure. I also seem to retain...

forgot to add that my diet hasn't gotten better or worse before or after try. but after going on trt i noticed within a month i was retaining much more water especially in my face and upper body.

I'm trying to follow here. i should have been tested for free estrogen too? also with total test of 801 I'm thinking about trying to get things bumped up to 1000-1100. right now in at roughly 150 mg per week. what adjustment do you think would need to be made to do that.

Total T is 801 on range or 250-1100 ng/dl I would say my nipples are puffy more than before and the actual nipple is harder like when you are cold. i don't need estrogen to be 22 like a lot of people recommend but If i could get it down form 67 to 39 i think i would be better off. I am taking...

Im 35 and full disclosure i don't eat the best but am planning on making some changes after seeing my glucose numbers and lipid panel. 2 years ago my triglycerides were 223 now down to 189. My HDL was 41 though and has now dropped to 34. any reason it would have dropped? And any advice or...

Correct this was estradiol sensitive. Overall I feel much better than before TRT. Pre TRT my estradiol sensitive was 14 which is low. I don't want to crash my estrogen because i know it has benefits but i would like to get to the sweet spot where I'm not retaining excess water and fat and don't...

Just got 3 month labs and looking for advice for doctor when I see him on friday. Should I request an AI and what would be the dose to start at. and just any other changes i should look into. Im feeling great libido , confidence , drive ,and energy but can definitely tell i am retaining water...

Thanks I've actually looked into a few of his things as well as McKenzie. Any takeaways from his stuff that you found most helpful. Also that is quite a mustache that dude has.

I like that prospective. Any specific type of deadlift or squat that you do. I know there are several different variations and bars. Anything else you've added to things to help your recovery? Keep me updated on how you progress.

I did get an inversion table. How often would you use it and for how long? What is reverse hyper?

So I've been in pt but we have only focused on extension not flexion stretches. How long did you wait after acute pain to introduce flexion stretches. Is there anything else you utilized in your recovery?

So im doing .30 ml twice a week test cyp. if i do the delt injection with 28 g 1/2 needles do i need to rotate off the delts to another body part or can i just do alternating delt injection. Im not super lean, will a 1/2 needle be sufficient? Any risk of it going betwen the fat and muscle layer?

I was wondering if anyone can recomend an anti inflammatory diet. I herniated a few discs and I am in pretty bad pain.

PLEASE HELP! So I herniated L5-S1 with nerve compression and also herniated L4-L5. Messed myself up really good and i have serve nerve pain. My Test is under 300 and my LH is low so im assuming my Hypothalmus is not working properly. My Physical Therapist says I have atrophy in some of my lower...

I get what your saying and agree. I guess i was thinking something non pharmaceutical to try

Unfortunately no i don't think my PCP knows the first thing about hormones. I should have labs back by the end of the week and can post. What LH level would warrant this type of protocol and wouldn't if my LH came back decent and test low. trt would be the option. Also is there anything i should...

At little background first. Im 35 years old and for the last 5 + years I've felt like crap. Trouble losing fat, Recovering, High Anxiety etc... Last year when my daughter was born and we hit our out of pocket max i had my PCP run all my labs last september and they came back as follows. Test...

Been reading the site for awhile and everyone here seems very knowledgable. Im about to start the journey of optimizing my hormones with either a restart or trt if it comes to it. Hopefully i can add to this forum too once i become more knowledgable.
