[QUOTE="amatos70, post: 158656, member: 16850"] Hello Nelson and Excel Male Community… First and foremost, I want to thank you for the advice you gave me last year. You were 100% correct. I did not need to be on TRT. ([URL="https://www.excelmale.com/forum/threads/low-testosterone-high-estrogen-obesity-is-trt-really-the-solution-for-me.14202/#post-103386"]Low Testosterone + High Estrogen + Obesity = Is TRT really the solution for me???[/URL]) Soon after the above post, I consulted with my doctor at Defy Medical, shared your suggestion and he immediately, without hesitation prescribed a slow way to stop TRT and also suggested testing my thyroid. Come to find out, I have hypothyroidism. Once off of TRT, I began taking Armour Thyroid. We began with a low dosage and slowly increased it until I got to a point where I felt comfortable and seeing positive results. Currently, my dosage is 1GR (60mg) 1 Tablet, Twice daily. He also prescribed the following over the counter supplements. Omega 3 4000mg, aDrenal, DHEA 50mg, Vitamin D3 5000 IU When I say "positive results", I mean it in the way where I felt good, my mood was good and started to see positive results (loose weight) from my efforts of dieting and exercise. I had spent years (dieting and exercising) trying to lose weight!!! After 4 months of being on Armour Thyroid, doing moderate exercise (walking and weightlifting), eating a somewhat healthy diet and practicing Intermittent Fasting (IF), I went from 235 lbs. to 195 lbs. (Lost 45 lbs.) Now to the reason for this post... The thyroid medication is not a magic pill for losing weight. Over the past 6 months, I've started regaining weight, but I'm conscious that the weight gain has been from poor eating habits and inconsistent exercise. I've started going back to the gym. I workout 5 days a week (Monday thru Friday) doing heavy weightlifting, and I work out at 5:00am on a fasted state. I want to start taking Pre and Post Workout supplements (BCAA, Multi-Vitamins, and Fat Burners - See attached images) to help me burn more fat and build more muscle, but I'm not sure how to take them or if I should not take them with my thyroid medication. I've grown a habit of taking my thyroid medication (Armour Thyroid) in the morning as soon as I get out of bed. My questions are: 1. How should I take these supplements with my thyroid medication? Should I not take them?? 2. There 2 Pre-Workout supplements (see attached). I only plan on taking 1 of them. Because I am following Intermittent Fasting, I would like to use the one that will both "not" interrupt my fasting state and be best to take with my thyroid medication. 3. Should I space out the Armour Thyroid from my Pre-Workout supplements? If so, how far apart?? Next week 9/18/19, I have an appointment with Defy Medical to update my bloodwork and will come back and update my current results. The following are the labs I'll be doing... [LIST=1] [*]Comprehensive Metabolic Panel [*]CBC [*]Lipid Panel- $15 [*]Testosterone Free and Total [*]Estradiol Sensitive [*]DHEA-S [*]TSH [*]PSA [*]LH [*]Sex Hormone Binding Globulin [*]IGF-1 [*]Free T3 [*]Free T4 [*]Reverse T3 [*]Hemoglobin A1c [*]Fasting Insulin [/LIST] Nelson, before I go for my doctor consultation to review my bloodwork, I would sincerely appreciate your suggestions, especially since you have a background in bodybuilding and have a wealth of knowledge with medications and men's health. Thank you, Alex [/QUOTE]
