Of course, to do that it would be ideal to go in with a nice system already in place. Unfortunately due to today’s environment that aspect seems harder and harder to maintain. Our endocrine systems are under constant barrage from the world around us. Couple that with the fact that people are so different with so many variables at play and it seems that it would be impossible to definitively show a “best approach”. As you point out though, hypogonadism is at the bottom of the list for you in terms of desired states so it seems avoiding that as much as possible is a reasonable approach. Does that mean cycling to minimize that state but also taking breaks to allow the HPTA a chance to function as intended occasionally? Does that mean simply mimicking a functioning HPTA while not really having it function as intended is the best route?I agree with you that there is probably some value in restarting the HPTA though. But how do we determine the path that optimizes the benefits while minimizing the discomfort of getting to that point?</blockquote>
