Should people weight training completely ignore AST and ALT, and simply look at the other liver markers instead? ALT & AST just seem unreliable for people doing weight training: https://blog.insidetracker.com/muscle-damange-to-blame-for-elevated-liver-enzymes...

I'm not sure why nobody talks about this, and I could only find a study replicating these results in pigs :) Anyway, a 5-7 day fast will result in a lasting increase in Ferritin due to the recycled iron in the body, no supplements, no blood donation madness, nothing, just don't eat for a week...

This is an open challenge to explore the possibility of walking the enhanced boundaries, while keeping absolutely all possible negative TOT side effects in check, especially anything related to health. The main question I am trying to answer via blood work, BP measurements, WIP lifestyle...

For a long time, I've seen many experts say TSH should be around 1-2 or 1-1.5. In my blood work, my TSH is always higher and I have a tendency to gain fat easily. Before messing with meds, I decided to try Beef Thyroid supplements a shot, to try to see if this could make any difference to get...

It turns out I had crazy high blood pressure (170/100), likely for months, too much caffeine, stress and I'm 125kg/275 pounds / 192cm/6'4, 44 years old. Last week a cardiologist put me on Dipperam 5+160 (5mg Amlodipine + 160mg Valsartan), using this first once a day and after 2 days moved on to...

Recently I have started getting accidental ejaculations during heavy deadlifts, usually after rep 6 with 120kg or so, with each rep I have a feeling as if I was peeing (no, no pleasure at all), but it's really semen. This happens EVERY week, regardless of anything else going on in the love life...

Rhonda Patrick has a nice science literature review about collagen supplementation here: https://www.foundmyfitness.com/topics/collagen#hydrolyzed-collagen-and-skin I find this interesting for joint health: And this sounds interesting to improve glucose and blood pressure (I found this...

Dear all, I notice the Cialis patent is expiring by the end of April this year. Any recommendations for high quality but cheaper alternatives in Europe? I would like to review the options prior to talking to my doc for a prescription of generic Tadafil soon. Thank you!

After reading/hearing about the dangers (especially bone loss) of long term Anastrozol usage I have committed myself to control E2 using the following approach: 1) Lose more body fat: Already lost 35-40kg, but need to lose around 5-10 more to get into the single digits. Some people report...

I am meeting my endo on Monday and was wondering if I should bring up the topic of Thyroid meds to improve my fat loss results (not having much progress lately), what do you think? are these values sluggish or am I fine and just need to tune the diet more? Thanks! Complete Thyroid Blood work...

Proper image resolution: https://imgur.com/a/JP5KxA9 So I did a couple of blood donations and RDW-CV and RDW-SD are increasingly out of range. Hematocrit seems completly stable now, and I am supplementing Iron to get Ferritin > 100. Are there any risks / concerns about RDW-CV and RDW-SD...

In line with observations by Vince Carter that in low SHBG guys there tends to be more Free T and therefore more Free E2, and that maybe because of that we should be checking the free Estradiol more than the normal E2 (and that maybe because of that also, an E2 level around 20 might be better...

So, we all know Testosterone lab ranges are BS, as they simply include the healthy and the sick, remove the top and bottom 5% outliers and simply do the average (this is from Dr. Crisler's book, btw). Also, Testosterone levels are declining due to pollution, plastics, etc. and therefore labs...

TLDR, progress so far Some background on my TRT protocol and blood results so far: As I discovered the hard way that high body fat screws up TRT by excessive conversion of T into E, I set the following goals: - Primary Goal: Achieve 12% body fat by October (-11kg in 3 months so far, ~25kg of...

TLDR: Here is the data Background: So basically, I just started TRT and started to feel bad around Xmas with some weird nipple sensitivity (i.e. while putting clothes on) and I got a bit worried. My visit with my endo was scheduled for today so I experimented with a few things during January...
