I'm increasingly thinking, both from my own experience and observing others, that what you are describing makes the most sense, but with the addition of other targeted compounds to address specific issues. In your case, a moderate dose of Oxandrolone to replace the "lost" T seems logical (or...

The time for high Vitamin C supplementation no matter what is if you feel any kind of infection/illness coming on. Especially Liposomal Vitamin C. Vitamin C is like the ammo for your innate immune system "gun". It's interesting that it may have raised your HCT since some of us struggle with...

Thanks for posting this. One of the big problems with what I'll call the Minimally Suppressive Testosterone/SERM approaches is the lack of publicly available discussion on the results of such experimentation, so it's interesting to see your results. I had never heard of L-Tyrosine creating those...

I have found that the 250mg version doesn't have even 1 quarter of the flush off the 500 version, so I have switched to taking more of the 250's.

It can make some people smell like Garlic for a little while although I've never had this issue. It does not affect libido. You have to make sure the skiin is clean in the area you apply it. AMidwesternDoctor on substack has done a massive series on it and I suggest you read that. It can...

You might also try DMSO which seems to benefit just about everything.

This is just a wild guess on my part, but a vacuum penis pump might be worth a try. The concept would be that it draws blood into the penis and the increased blood flow might be therapeutic. There was also a study posted here a while back that said Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy increased vascular...

Several things: - Time Restricted Eating is essential no matter what. Specifically, start by eating within an 8 hour time window so that your are only drinking water for 16 hours per day. Part of insulin resistance appears to be that cells are over-stimulated by constant exposure to insulin, so...

You are making a claim that does not seem to be supported by evidence or logic, so you you need to cite some or expect your position to be challenged. For example, aromatizing compounds are well-known to lead to gyno in some people and be countered by an AI. Gyno is at least partially fat...

I can't remember if I mentioned this before but have you tried timed-release melatonin for sleep? It sounds like some sort of dopamine or cortisol issue but melatonin might help. A spoonful of quality honey before be d might also help if it a low blood sugar issue. Also, I've run across several...

Stress can certainly impact cortisol, so it sounds like that is a prime candidate for your issues. When dealing with any difficult issue however, you want have everything working in your favor, and you want most stored fat in your body to be saturated fat, not PUFAs. Resolution of cellulite is...

I've never used this product but I do use 100% DMSO all the time and it can certainly be a little harsh on the skin in some places. Mixing whatever your normal dose of alphagels with the 70%DMSO/30% aloe-vera blend might reduce the skin issues.

Thanks for posting this. This implies that blood pressure should rise if blood viscosity is in fact rising in a problematic way, however I've had a mysterious rise in HCT with no rise in BP that I can tell. I'm wondering (hoping) that perhaps BP can be used as a way to tell if a rise in HCT is a...

Have you eliminated all seed oils from your diet? Do you have any reason to think your cortisol may have increased? High cortisol can cause abnormal fat deposits (see Cushings Syndrome/Disease).

Personally, if they're the only source, I wouldn't let this scare me away. There's nothing wrong with DMSO and if the DHT works then it works. MT-2 was known to be under-dosed from the non-US/CA sources but it is so strong and you have to dose by experimentation anyway so it doesn't really matter.
