Adjusting my dose down for longterm health reasons, will it lead to muscle loss?

Resting EF or Exercise EF is not the full story. Check out these link for more info:

Familiarize yourself with this topic....heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF)

I finally have my follow-up with my cardiologist tomorrow so I'll discuss this with him

Ideally I'd like to keep taking 50mg ND for my joint pains and general collagen synthesis, but if I have to stop, I have to stop

I've been doing HIIT twice a week with the aim of really hammering my heart and trying to get my RHR down to 70 or under. Work stress is insane though and I've been having chest pain sporadically which is concerning. Cardiologist neighbor told my wife I'm fine but we'll see

Also REALLY need to quit caffine but man it's hard

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.
