    Nite time eating

    This has always been my issue. I eat for all kinds of reasons but at night it's one of the few things that help me fall/stay asleep. Naltrexone is helping me w/ this. Look up my post on naltrexone for some citations.

    List of Questions for a new Doctor

    Do you have an underlying condition that was at least partially resolved by T or resolved at the same time as starting T? I too put on a significant amount of weight but that was b/c my diabetes finally got under control. I think many if not most men experience a gain of about 10-15lbs when...

    Estrogen blocker

    How long after a cycle does it take to return to our "normal" levels? It is my understanding that occasionally AAS can cause permanent HPTA suppression. Is this correct?

    Estrogen blocker

    Many people feel like garbage at supra-physiological levels. This will more than likely not relieve the symptoms that you reported in a previous post w/ the exception of gains in the gym. If you opt for this route I would contact someone like Michael Scally for proper PCT.

    Mexican Pharmacies

    I think you are playing w/ fire on this one. No telling what you're getting. I live just outside of phoenix so I know some people that know some people that have gone over for some of the more expensive cancer drugs w/ some success but there is zero regulation...so buyer beware. Personally I'd...

    Cost of testosterone, HCG, anastrozole & Pre/post workout supplements

    For those on a tight budget what would be your recommendations for top 3 prescription drugs and top 3 OTC's? Also does anyone have any advice on how to get drugs cheaper ie. compounding pharmacies, coupons, becoming a study participant?

    IM Testosterone and Exercise Recovery

    After protein/bcaa, Creatine is a must as it has been shown to inhibit myostatin. If I were a professional athlete whose livelihood depended on being as good as I possibly could than I would be injecting different esters on multiple occasions. I personally don't like injecting after a workout as...

    IM Testosterone and Exercise Recovery

    Should reach peak at day 3-4. Not sure that you would experience any appreciable difference before or after workout but I save my most intense workouts for days 3-5.

    Protein Sources for Best Health and Lean Mass

    Nelson, does the suggested amount take into consideration obesity/ body composition? When I calculate based on current weight the calories are outrageous. If we say that to maintain x muscle mass we must consume y protein does that correlate w/ building muscle mass, especially in a body w/...

    Men's health: What is fit for your age?

    Push up standards seem elevated. I doubt most people, using proper form, are going to reach the average. They are suggesting that the average man under 40 is running an 8 min mile? Not likely.

    Estrogen management

    Kelly, my last lab was 472 w/ estradiol at 35. This was day 3 on 75mg e3.5d SC. He switched me back to IM once weekly and increased to 200mg. I know estrogen is going to elevate w/ the new protocol. What do you think of .25 on day of shot to partially block conversion?

    Weight loss and Naltrexone

    Lombard, Naltrexone is not a diet pill in the sense that most think. It blocks opiate receptors and inhibits a dopamine dump (from my understanding) that many food addicts experience. Recent research has clearly demonstrated, with the use of fMRI scans that many, if not most, obese people have...

    How does TRT improve sleep?

    I've heard the exact opposite Paco. If I were to argue the opposite however I might suggest that the increase in dopamine is leading to a feeling of well-being and a reduction in anxiety...just a stab though. Be cautious if you suffer from depression, specifically SAD, when taking melatonin...

    Weight loss and Naltrexone

    I presented my GP w/ a couple of the recent studies, posted above, and we are giving it a shot. I have lost 7 lbs. in 6 days w/o trying and for the first time in decades I'm not feeling controlled, for lack of a better word, by food. Took the kids trick-or-treating = huge loot and haven't had...

    Estrogen management

    At day 5 my T shot has worn off. My doc suggested SC 2x per week but this did not work for me. He has now prescribed Anastrozole 1-2 mg per week. He stated that I should take 1 mg on the day of my shot to decrease conversion and if needed halfway through the week. Does anyone have any...
