    "Best" way to increase protein intake

    Several things...timing in relation to workouts is a factor also. Supposedly the first 24-36 hours is when most adaptation occurs and for older people it's closer to 24 hours so I try to concentrate my protein in the 24 hours after my more intense workouts and my carbs on the day before my most...

    Association of TRT with Atrial Fibrillation and Acute Kidney Injury

    Is there some way to tell if they corrected for blood pressure or some form of Rhabdo for the AKI finding? I've never heard of TRT alone having a mechanism for kidney injury, whether chronic or acute. One would think that this would have been major issue in the physique and/or strength community...

    Does anyone know a good hormone doctor for women in New York?

    I've heard her interviewed several times and she seems to be very forward thinking. You can find the interviews here https://superhumanradio.net/shr-2748-testosterone-it-s-application-in-conventional-alternative-athletic-enhancement-practices and here...

    Real Nitric Oxide

    I use it several times per weeks and I trust it's doing something good although I don't notice anything, but I'm fairly healthy to begin with. I would suggest Dr. Bredesen's protocol as the gold standard starting point for dementia prevention and reversal, and some of the things in it should...

    DHT Cream Plus Testosterone Propionate = Major Libido Boost

    from another post: "The contact information for Alphagels is [email protected]. Apparently they only take orders by email, and you pay in bitcoin. I have emailed them to provide more information and will post to this thread when received."

    PT - 141 (Bremelanotide) for Improved Sex Drive (Libido) and Erections

    I would start by dropping your dose slightly. There are numerous reports that sleep tends to "activate" the affect so keep that in mind as well.

    The strange reason why your body ages most rapidly between 44 and 60.

    I believe studies based on proteomics have shown that there are three major "steps" of aging. Step 1 usually happens in the 30s and primarily affects recovery ability. Step 2 happens around 55-65, and Step 3 happens in the mid-seventies. From what I've observed and heard from doctors who work...

    TRT & Pheromones (Question for the Ladies, Especially)

    This is likely another case where multiple pathways are involved. Women can apparently sense men who have compatible genes. Women's senses may be compromised by hormonal birth control however as described in the book "Your Brain on The Pill". We likely understand very little of what is going on...

    Why is it a bad idea to take clomid/gonadorelin while on TRT?

    Thanks for reminding me of this. I just ordered some but I'm not going to try it until I do bloodwork.

    What We Should Be Eating

    I am part-way thru Dr kendrick's book-length discussion on the topic so hopefully there will be an answer in it, but I suspect it is because there are a lot of non-diet insults (like stress) that can damage the endothelium, and also because of certain areas where the blood flow is especially...

    What We Should Be Eating

    I agree, but I have one nit to pick which I think is important. The body has a very well-developed set of mechanisms for dealing with damage to the endothelium (what we would call CVD) which suggests it expects to have to deal with that issue. Supposedly non-industrialized cultures show some...

    What We Should Be Eating

    It depends who does the studies. If they are done by mainstream authorities, the studies will almost certainly be rigged against carnivore.

    What We Should Be Eating

    Some context and commentary: - There is almost certainly no single cause of diabesity. For example, poor sleep has been shown to immediately create a degree of insulin resistance, and many things (like nutrient deficiencies, e.g. chromium, and lack of muscle mass) increase its likelihood. - The...

    Why is it a bad idea to take clomid/gonadorelin while on TRT?

    I switched from HCG to clomid about 5 months ago and I think I slightly prefer the clomid. I will get bloodwork soon what LH is doing. I use around 80-100mg of cyp per week. I also tried enclomiphene alone and in combination with the clomid, but I seem to do well with just the clomid. I tried it...

    How to increase DHT?

    You can try Butea Superba. Some claim that it raises DHT and I have found it to sometimes create the affects described for DHT, however I find it a bit inconsistent.

    Anti-inflammatory 20mg/day Rosuvastatin reduced C-reactive protein, heart attacks, strokes in people with normal LDL but elevated C-reactive protein

    If you want to dig deeper into CRP I would start by listening to minutes 25-30 of Ben Greenfield's recent podcast with Dr. Matt Dawson. He says the CRP as typically measured does not correlate well as a predictor of diseases mediated by inflammation but a version called methylated CRP does...

    Anti-inflammatory 20mg/day Rosuvastatin reduced C-reactive protein, heart attacks, strokes in people with normal LDL but elevated C-reactive protein

    First, there is no reason to think that even if aspirin increases risk of bleeding (not necessarily actual bleeding) or lesions that it is clinically significant given the millions of people who take it on a regular basis (including me). Second, Rosuvastatin is far from risk-free. I had...

    Anti-inflammatory 20mg/day Rosuvastatin reduced C-reactive protein, heart attacks, strokes in people with normal LDL but elevated C-reactive protein

    Lots of safer things are anti-inflammatory such as aspirin and reducing the causes of inflammation.

    Test P improved TRT, libido still at 0 – what next?

    Deprenyl used to be big in the anti-aging world. You can get it from the Indian suppliers like alldaychemist. It primarily blocks the enzyme which breaks down dopamine however, as with anything, do your own research and see if it has good risk/reward to try for you.

    Test P improved TRT, libido still at 0 – what next?

    You might also look into Deprenyl (selegiline) which works on a pathway connected to dopamine IIRC

    Test P improved TRT, libido still at 0 – what next?

    Thanks for the background. Most importantly, hang in there and keep trying things. Two things come to mind. You might at least have a conversation with a Hypnotherapist and see if they have any insights. Hypnosis might not reveal or resolve anything for you, but it might give you some insights...

    Test P improved TRT, libido still at 0 – what next?

    Prolactin, thyroid and salt are three other things to consider. You can slightly lower prolactin by taking a low (600mg or less) dose of Chasteberry every other day. Low thyroid can affect a lot of things. The book The Salt Fix discusses that low salt can lower libido. More generally, if you...

    Test P improved TRT, libido still at 0 – what next?

    Several other ideas...DHEA is helpful for some people and if it is cheap and available where you are could be worth a try. Melanotan 2 and/or PT-141 is worth a try IMO since they work on a somewhat different pathway (the melanocortin system) than androgens. I agree that a lower dose of T is step...

    Why Men Get an Enlarged Prostate and How to Treat BPH Symptoms

    In the podcast linked below, Dr Gundry talks about the link between infection due to leaky gut and enlarged prostate. He says he fixed his BPH by fixing his gut issues. Most of mainstream medicine seems to still be very far behind on the topic of leaky gut so it is reasonable to think Dr. Gundry...

    Yes, a man in his 80s can still have good muscle mass

    In fairly healthy countries (e.g. Italy, Spain, until recently Brazil, Argentina and others) it is common for women in their 50s and sometimes 60s to have the body of what we in the US would consider to be a super-hot 20 year old. That has probably been the case for much of human existence.

    Traveling and will not have access to refrigeration so no HCG. Dosing questions.

    HCG can apparently go for many days w/o refrigeration (there is another thread here about that) so if you're near the end of a vial, you could just take it with you and it would probably be fine. Otherwise, I would not increase anything (that is more likely to cause issues of some sort) and just...

    Testosterone propionate supposedly the best ester?

    That suggests some sort of issue with excess cortisol. You may also want to look into timing your carbs around activity to maximize NIMGU (Non-insulin mediated glucose uptake.)

    BPH at young age related to TRT? Advice needed...

    A couple of ideas for you...if TRT is involved in your BPH it is probably via DHT so you might get that checked, HOWEVER it is much more likely that your BPH is due to some sort of infection, especially given your UTI issues. DR. Gundry recently talked about this on episode 299 IIRC of his...
