    A Stanford-led team discovered a new ketosis pathway.

    The ketogenic diet, commonly known as “keto,” and intermittent fasting have gained widespread popularity, attracting everyone from casual fitness enthusiasts to endurance athletes. Both approaches aim to leverage ketosis — a metabolic state in which the body burns fat for energy instead of...

    Low-carb/low calorie diet Vs. low calorie dense, low fat foods?

    So far my experience with low carb/low calorie dieting (keto) is that it SEVERELY slows down your metabolism. Granted I’ve lost about 20 lbs but I am sure half of what I lost has been muscle. Currently I consume 1500 to 1600 calories per day. Go to the gym 6 days per week (for 26 years). Walk...

    Craving carbs since starting TRT?

    Hey guys, started TRT 6 weeks ago. Before that, I was on a strict ketogenic diet, <20-30g carbs / day, often less. Lost 18kg / 40pounds and went down from 98kg to 80kg - relatively easily, since I'm usually more a "salty" than a "sweet" guy. Now ever since I've started TRT, I'm fighting daily...

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

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