What is a 're-start?'

[Lmholmes11]

I've been reading here awhile and have seen something called a re start mentioned, especially for younger people (I just turned 30). Can someone explain this to me? Also, does anyone know if Defy Medical have any kind of military discount? Thanks guys

In essence a "restart" is an attempt to restart the HPTA (hypothalamic-pituitary-testicular axis) for a patient who's axis is suppressed or shutdown due to being on TRT or AAS.

It is similar to a "stimulation" type regimen (as opposed to frank TRT), except for the starting point for a restart is typically a FULLY suppressed HPTA due to TRT/AAS, whereas the starting point for a general stimulation regimen is simply a sub-optimal or partially suppressed HPTA for various other factors (not current TRT/AAS use). Semantics really, the first paragraph gives the jist.
