Hey guys..I am considering starting low does finasteride for hair security as I have been on TRT for a while. If finasteride raises T levels, why do some people have a lower libido? I guess they take too much and kill of their DHT? If you are on HRT, then this shouldn't be an issue if you are...

Hey guys I am looking to hear form anyone who has switched from subq shots (either daily or EOD etc) to T cream. I may have the opportunity to try switching in the future. Was it worth it? I know some "TRT celebrities" have touted it as being the best way now:)

Can you recommend a good Natural Thyroid Supp?

I get it done at the university hospital here where we live so Id hope it was somewhat accurate! 10 pg/ml last month

So my E2 level of around 85 is a good thing haha...

Thats me...my TT is around 800-900 but my FT is always around 10-20? To get my FT up id have to be over the so called upper limit...

What is the company that makes it? I am moving back in a few months and have been trying to org my treatment in NZ...which isn't looking promising haha having sent a number of emails away to various doctors and getting a lukewarm response at best.

Hopefully more doctors jump over to this space!

You can get compounded T cream in NZ? like this: https://www.empowerpharmacy.com/drugs/testosterone-cream How much is it?

Ha! You need a specialist for a simple VD3 test...

Some of these tests are pricey! https://www.labtests.co.nz/for-patients/request-a-test-myself/ Free Test is $80. Doesn't say you need permission? Man this is going to get $$$ being back home.

I wonder why the medical community makes it so hard? Surely there are enough smart up-to-date docors that have read the literature and know the health benefits of being optimized? It seems from your posts that they almost go out of their way to deny a patient this incredibly cheap and life...

Thanks for the info. So once a specialist give you the ok, you dont need to go back to them and just carry on with your GP I guess? Thanks a big price difference!

Ok thanks...what would the price difference be between funded and non-funded medicine? Say for a vile of sustanon 250 or a bottle of test cyp?

If you are returning from overseas and already under the supervision of a specialist, then that should be fine right? Surely they have to follow/accept that you indeed need the medicine? As long as you provide the right documentation? NZ can't be that behind surely!

So if you get s specialist to agree, the medicine automatically becomes a lot cheaper? So in other words: 1. Go to a GP first then 2. Visit an Endo to approves the treatment then 3. Go back to your GP who can write a script and you pay less at the pharmacy?

Hey Nelson...I filled out the form on the doctor finder page and got a reply back from Defy Medical. That was good, except I live in NZ and Defy is a US company! I'm pretty sure that A. They cant send medicine internationally and B. NZ customs wouldn't allow it in anyhow Are there no doctors...

Sadly, you are right. Must be many men and woman who are not living an optimized life basically through simple ignorance.

Hi Nelson. I used that a4m site and found a doctor in Christchurch. Awesome I thought, but when I contacted him, he said he doesn't do HRT??? Says he does lifestyle changes and natural vitamins or whatnot etc...unbelievable.

Directory of Innovative Doctors - International Doctors and Clinics - Life Extension Link gone?

Hey guys I have a little difficulty raising my FT. I am on 125mg a week taking shots EOD Subq. E2 is around 84 so besides that, what could be a factor that is contributing to a less than optimal FT. My TT is 850/900 usually and my FT is only 11-16

I have had a look talked to a mate who went through this a year ago and there is only one "specialist" in Dunedin. And it costs $475 just to see him. Unreal. And then you are at his mecry so to speak. The Uni is there, how come there is only one doctor? Beats me!

Terrible. For a young modern country, we seem to sadly lag behind in up-to-date doctors!

I tried contacting a doctor on the Life Extension link here, but had no luck. I also found a doctor who is a member of A4M, I thought great, but he replied that he doesnt use testosterone or other medicines???? He only practices alternative remedies for healthy living. Which means exercise, good...

As someone who doesn't live in the US and wishes to take advantage of the care provided by some of the top optimization doctors, are there any who have online consultations? I would very much like to try testosterone cream. Also, do any compounding pharmacies ship overseas with a prescription?

Hey Nelson, how can we get these medications overseas? Is it possible? I am interested in trying T cream from a compounding pharmacy and even have a doctor willing to help in that regard. Any ideas? @Nelson Vergel

I was wondering if there would send products overseas if a local doctor is happy to write a script?

Hi Nelson, Any updates on when the doctor finder will be ready? You said around April. Any updates?

Doesn't look for the kiwis:( Is anyone here from NZ that has had a good experience in getting treatment?

Right...my bad...anyhow...its enough...:)
