[QUOTE="slicktop, post: 165523, member: 39800"] +1 to all the above. Thyroid health is SO overlooked, even in the TRT world. Some guys go to the drive-through T clinics and overpay for test shots and never have their thyroid or liver and kidney values looked at and wonder why it's not working for them like they thought it would. Ugh. "I've been doing this for 9 months and haven't lost any weight!" Well, your rT3 is sky high and your t3 is in the tank, so...:rolleyes: Beyond straight up alcoholism, there's some emerging theories that daily alcohol consumption also *can* lower testosterone: [URL]https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJM197610072951501[/URL] (old but not disproven AFAIK) [URL="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3593480"]Ethanol-induced inhibition of testosterone biosynthesis in vitro: lack of acetaldehyde effect. - PubMed - NCBI[/URL] But even if it's not a direct link, alcohol certainly isn't helping your metabolism or helping you to lose weight, so if you want to go full-on "get as healthy as I can first", going dry for a bit might not be a bad idea to include with a quality diet/exercise/sleep plan.
