I don’t think the OP is looking to leave Defy, just help in what to look for in a PCP for labs and annual physical. I had same issue. Went to get my physical and labs with my new PCP to send to Defy and had to sit thru my doc telling me abt problems with TRT and how’s he is against it and his...

Does anyone have any experience with any hormone clinics on Oahu in Hawaii? I’m looking into Infinity Life Center, Hawaii Natural Medicine or Life Restore. It’s going to be for my wife. I go to Defy, but she doesn’t want to deal with the hassle of going to another doctor for annual physicals and...

I’ve done both spread and bunch. Prefer bunch to stab the needle in. This link was helpful in injecting in quad easily. I used to inject on 90 degree angle into quad and had some pain with it. After watching this video and angling my needle, I haven’t felt it yet.

Wouldn't you want to know if taking some supp is screwing up or helping something else? I can understand wanting to get your particular natural threshold, but if you are taking something continuously (daily or weekly), wouldn't you want to see the impact it's having on you? If it's something you...

My numbers where similar to yours. My RT3 was 28. Been taking Cytomel for 3 weeks now and feel better. Sleep is better. I have some energy in the morning now. Weight hasn't changed much, but pants feel better. I eat good and workout 5x week. Just fyi, I'm 6'2" 210lbs. Pants were getting tighter...

My iron was low the last go around so I've been on iron/vit c supplements twice/wk as advised by Defy. I usually give blood every 8-10 weeks, but was also told to stop doing it that much. Cut back to like every 3-4 months. Good call on thinking Reverse T3 is of interest.

Yes all this is normal.

Thanks for all the responded! I'll respond to above posts shortly. I finally got my results back from my Thyroid work-up. Had to re-schedule my appt with Defy, but will have these results to review with them. T4, free: 1.39 (0.82-1.77); TSH 1.2 (0.45-4.5); Reverse T3: 28.2 (9.2-24.1)...

I'll try and rule out hormones with lab work just in case. I read that article above and I have several of those symptoms. Just when I look at them independently, I blow it off as a cause of something else. Sore joints must be from the gym; weight gain (fat just around stomach) is from...

Thanks! I'm calling to put it in. You're right, I don't want to have my regular followup, do more bloodwork, then have to pay for another followup. If the results don't come back in time, I'll just need to re-schedule. Thanks all! I'll keep ya posted.

Diet is fairly good. I aim for around 2200 cal; 40% carb, 35% protein, 25% fat. This varies some, but not much. I'm 6'2" and 205lbs. I used to be pretty lanky, but have watched what I eat while working out. Lift at gym 4-5 times a wk. I'm in bed by 10pm latest and alarm goes off at 5:30am. I...

Yes, these are from Labcorp. I'm not sure which labs are for Thyroid, but my DHEA-Sulfate is normal (246ug/dL); TSH normal (1.29); Ferritin normal (51). 6 months ago my Ferritin was low at 16 and was advised to start taking iron and vit c twice wkly. Everything else is normal. I'm just getting...

Thanks. Things felt better for a little when I was told to up my test to 200mg/wk. But it just feels like I struggle more to get out of bed in the morning, and I usually wake up early. Just feel like I'm not sleeping as good then don't have the energy thru out the day. I'm basically on EOD...

Been on TRT for 4 yrs now. I'm 37 and just don't feel as energized as I used to. I started 3x/wk injections for total of 200mg/wk. Also take .125mg anastrozole and 400iu HCG twice/wk. I've been on this dose of test for over a year now. Here's the results of my latest labs: SHBG: 13.9nmol/L Ttl...
