I never use the words "Defy Medical", I always say that Dr. Justin Saya is directing my TRT care. They never bat an eye.

Definitely avoid saw palmetto, I have no way of proving it, but it seems to have played at least a part in giving me symptoms similar to PFS.

Since being on TRT my DHEA is very low, around 30 mcg/dL, but I don't tolerate supplementing it even at doses as low as 5mg. Completely wrecks my sleep, even if I take it in the morning, and gives me incredible anxiety. I suspect my low DHEA and my negative reaction to supplementation is one...

If your never had hypothyroid symptoms then I'd just drop the NDT.

What kind of symptoms are you having?

There was a recent study that looked into this. They claim to have gotten some decent results but YMMV. The efficacy and safety of short-acting testosterone ointment (Glowmin) for late-onset hypogonadism in accordance with testosterone circadian rhythm. Abstract INTRODUCTION: It is well known...

Any chance you have sleep apnea?

My thought exactly, talk about putting a target on your back.

Those symptoms can also be a strong indicator of sleep apnea. Try taking the Epworth Sleepiness test: http://www.sleepapnea.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/ESS-PDF-1990-97.pdf

I've never used anastrozole from Empower, but what I've been getting from Hallandale has been very effective.

I don't think it is as rare as we all believe based on what we read on the forums. It seems that most guys on the forums are very/mostly interested in the anabolic effects of higher levels and that distorts what is considered an "effective" dose. From Dr. Gordon's writing it seems 60mg is...

Very interesting. I've dropped my dose down to 70mg/week. On my last set of labs my DHEA-S was less than 30. Like you, when I was on a higher dose of test. I could not tolerate supplementing any DHEA. Now I've been taking 25-30mg per day along with 30mg of pregnenolone and my sleep is finally...

Well that sure is interesting. I think I'm going to skip the melatonin for a few days or weeks.

This is definitely a case of conflicting studies. Brownstein cites several to prove his case that high dose iodine is safe. I've had hypothyroidism for years and did try Brownstein's protocol for a couple of years. Never noticed any benefit, but there are a lot of reports online of people who...

I sent a tick that bit me to UMass for the $50 test. It came back negative, I couldn't believe it as I've had Lyme disease before and my area is heavily infested. https://www.tickreport.com/pricing
