    Navigating the Darkness of Winter

    It never really bothered me when I was younger, but when I got into adulthood there have been some years when winter has taken me to some pretty dark places(no pun intended).

    When testosterone isn't enough - major fatigue and brain fog.

    I started testosterone at 30, when my labs consistently came back around 250-300 ng/dL. Like most of you, it took a few years to dial in a protocol that worked.

I was prescribed first by an urologist 1 ml of 250mg/ml sustanon every 3 weeks, then by an endocrinologist 1 ml of 250...

    I had what I believe to be serotonin syndrome, something I wouldn't wish on my own worst enemy, in December of 2021. It took me two months to feel normal, going through brain fog, brain zaps similar to those coming off antidepressant, blurry vision, anhedonia, exhaustion, panic attacks etc. By...

Free Testosterone

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