I have had high cholesterol, according to every MD who ever tested me, since I was 35. I decided recently (age 63), as my LDL was twice the maximum, to do something about it. I follow a ketogenic diet and so 80% of my diet is fat. I cut down saturated fat by removing coconut oil (!) from my diet...

I tell you one thing with 100% certainty, one of those things may eventually kill some of us ...

Yeah. Most information seekers either don't know, or have forgotten, how to read. If your search engine is PubMed, fine, if it is YouTube, What You See Is What You Get.

Getting to 12-13% bodyfat is quite an achievement. Sticking out abs can be due to loss of muscle tone in that area (do traditional hip flexor situps AND ab crunches), I found I had to do hundreds per day to make any difference, but, if it is a muscle tone issue, the abs will eventually pull in...

Good diet and isometrics worked wonders for me. I started with a ketogenic diet for a few months (lost 30lbs) then switched to alternating protein then carbohydrate meals, carbs mostly raw veggies with some vinaigrette. As for exercise, (and after 44 years of experimenting) I honestly believe...

Hi Bill, If you are going to self-administer Glutathione, I would recommend the IM route as being safer than IV, (apologies if you are trained in IV or someone else will do it for you). I recall a conversation with a doctor who stated that there is little difference between the 2 routes and IM...

10 weeks on, 10 weeks off ...

THIS may help. Namaste.

I also found that concentrating on quality food helps. Anything with a label is OUT. Ensure you get enough vegetables (I eat 8oz of chopped cabbage, carrots, raw each day with a very small quantity of balsamic vinaigrette). Put your foods into the calculator HERE to see if you are missing...

Try THIS BOOK for a workout regimen that may change your life. No gyms, no equipment, no BS. Add some cardio when you feel like it (15 mins rope jumping intense or 30 mins walking, for example). Namaste

Yes, else your TRT is not optimal. Again, at the risk of rebuttal (ooer missus) I think the T doses mooted here are generally in the non-effective ranges. If you are on T, try increasing it. One way of keeping the same "dosage" whilst increasing the effect of it is to double the dose AND the...

It's a shame that you feel this way, but I get it. There are always better options than "riding off into the sunset", I hope you get the support and results you need. Namaste

Based on what reading/research? References? Please don't gainsay as opinions are like butts, everyone has one ...

"Guys done later seem to do worse." Yes, castration also does sound a bit extreme! However, I think it's worth noting the potential long-term aging effects for anyone trying exogenous growth agents/agonists, especially the young, and more importantly those who don't need them.

At 145lbs, I started with a ketogenic diet and IF with amazing weight losses in a few short weeks (down to 118lbs). I am a lot lighter than you, but consciously kept my protein at around 80g/day. Building the weight back without gaining too much fat was achieved by adding lots of vegetables (esp...

There may be other concerns with long-term use of ANY growth agonists, read Kris Verburgh's The Longevity Code for a better understanding. PP26 et seq: "Sex hormones show the link between sex and aging as well. Lab animals that receive testosterone die more quickly. The opposite is also true...

One 80mg child aspirin per day ameliorates the deleterious effect of arachidonic acid (which btw is in any animal meat/egg product). Also has other benefits for seniors at minimal cost. Namaste.

Cholesterol repairs arteries, damaged by oxidative stress, in the same way that you would put a patch on (except inside, in this case) an inner tube. Repetitive patching causes arterial restriction, obviously. Again, we are all victims of "Science" failing to prove cause and effect. (Have a...

Dear LH220, to reap: Use of HCG increases sperm productivity and motility, and so may restore shrunken testes size occurring as a result of using anabolic steroids. Now, from your moniker (Lifting Heavy) you are an active 24 year old. Are you using T for athletic purposes, or for some other...

Hi Blashy, nipple sensitivity is a little more serious, and it exposes difference of opinion among experts as to the rationale for aromatase inhibitors per se. Normally it occurs due to excess estradiol (E2) levels, above 40 for adult males. Reducing this level can be damaging to bone health...

No Sir, in actual fact if you take exogenous T then endogenous T production is reduced, a double whammy for hypogonadism sufferers. Assuming you are doing a gluteal IM, then 50% of whatever quantity you inject will be metabolized within the specified half-life. After a further half-life period...

Nothing more conclusive than the manufacturers leaflet that I posted.

"When I use a word", said Humpty Dumpty in a rather scornful tone, "it means exactly what I want it to mean, nothing more, nothing less". - Lewis Carrol, Through the Looking Glass

@fifty Most of the studies used to determine half-life come from Gluteal injections. Other sites may be more or less. Namaste.

@fifty, thanks for your question. You can reference HERE (plus associated reference [1] of the same article), or you can take a look at the manufacturers leaflet (attached). FYI, there is generally a confusion between half-life and residence time ("Residence time is the amount of time that a...

Hi FF, Just be wary of the half-life of the T. If the dosage frequency doesn't match the half-life, then the residual levels will build up over time, which may affect your mood, performance etc. Halflife of T. Enanthate is 4.5. days, I don't know what you are taking. If it's sustanon, it is...

Hi Ken, Did you try to change the supplement? I often find that, with the cheaper brands, you don't get what you paid for. Your symptoms are reminiscent of bad foods, possibly mycotoxins. This can arise, for example, from cheap or badly stored fish oil tablets that actually contain rancid...

@big Bam Boo: It's not for everyone, Sir. The most important thing is how you feel, that's what quality of life is all about. Good luck, and may you have many more years! Namaste

I think it's worth mentioning that for any supplement/medication, there needs to be a proven medical condition to warrant intervention. Wishing to optimize one's health and thereby live longer, is a laudable aim. IMVHO, many males on TRT are living a lifestyle that is not conducive to this goal...
