Hopefully. One problem is that opioids are the big issue here. And unfortunately testosterone as a scheduled drug falls into the same basket for regulation purposes. Maybe applying different rules for different schedules drugs or removing some from this altogether

@Nelson Vergel submitted my comments. Thanks again for letting us know

No thyroid meds

Couple of days 6.25 then 12.5

I have started iodoral 12.5mg recently. Have tons if energy and have been sleeping better (on and off). Bad quality sleep has been a problem for me for years. Blood work done on several markers and low iodine was the only thing off. Lets see how this goes

8-10% BF 210 pounds 6’2’’. Blood glucose levels are correlated to body fat and other health issues. My FBG has been 98-105 and postprandial would take a long time to go back below 100 if it did. I wanted to test a theory that my bad sleep, last bit of abdominal fat and other issues might be...

Problem with semaglutide is weight loss. I am already super fit and not looking to lose weight (i am looking to add lean mass). Semaglutide reduces hunger and appetite so i think it should be counterproductive for me

Yeah those are pretty useful. After paying more attention to my glucose levels my body fat levels (already low) are dropping even further without any changes in diet or workout routine. I am sleeping better as well. However if i am really stressed out even with medication blood glucose levels...

I do whenever possible. Glimepiride is a Sulfonylurea that has a pretty safe profile from my research. Also the dose i am using is pretty minimal. It works by helping beta cells to release insulin and also seems to improve insulin sensitivity. Also has a minimal impact on fasting insulin...

A lot of research data shows that high normal glucose levels can increase cardiometabolic risks. Life extension for example suggest optimal fasting glucose levels should be between 80-86 mg/dl. Does anyone here try to proactively lower they normal glucose levels to optimal levels through the use...

Does defy offer semaglutide? You guys that are using buy brand name or get from compounding pharmacy? If from compounding which pharmacy?

Does any compounding pharmacy offer semaglutide?

Well not an easy answer. When i switched from E3.5D intramuscular to daily Suqb i increased my weekly dosage. Long story short my TT and FT levels plummeted in subq (i tested this a couple of times with same results). And hematocrit was unchanged to 1-2 points lower but still 52+

Try I3C. Once it is completely gone i always taper it. 5 days 10mg 5 days 5mg 5 days 2.5mg… Dr Crisler agreed with that
