I've been managing my girls HRT for over a year. Shes currently on T, E and P fwiw. It's been a bitch to increase her E because the delivery methods like gel and spray were not absorbing. So we got 100mg patches and now shes on them. We don't have injectable E here so using what we can get...

I have this book but never read it so thanks for mentioning ;)

I have been experimenting with different amounts of salt for close to 20 years. I found that for me higher salt intake is correlated with a lower BP. No questions about that. And once I was deep into I found that 7-9g of salt keeps my BP low and I felt great. Now mind you I have tried the...

He still alright after eating that honey like winney the pooh and slamming tons of meat?

30 years smoked indica myself and its been great for pain, mood and to slow my always working mind. Currently got medical prescription in the UK but found 99% of products just a waste of money and totally trash unless you a rookie or a grandmah who has absolutely no idea what time it is. I sleep...

This. I had to come off TRT a year ago due to feeling like crap from BP spikes as well. Was doing 100mg/week fwiw. Nailing macros and trying to nail all the required micros to see how that changes but wasn't able to figure it all out as I had other issues going on as well. So went off and still...

Absolutely amazing to read and respect Sir! Now I want to get back on even more after 1+yr off. If you ever decide to share some other context about your ways of eating, regime, supplementation, any interesting health biomarker findings, experiences, etc- we all be very happy to listen. I...

I tend to agree. Nicotine on its own when applied via 7mg patch(but certain tested company) I get insane relief from all of my symptoms in 30-45mins, which is insane and wild af. I haven't measured anything while on/off and have no blood tests but damn this shit works like purest cocaine type...

I have used MT2 extensively for years and found out even 50mcg dose works for me great just not that fast. But I prefer to go low and slow for minimum side effects because I feel this shit even at lowest doses. Other folks don't, so maybe they have bunk peptide, who knows. I always felt dizzy...

Thanks Nelson for taking time and walking me step by step on how to do it. Not sure why I havent thought about that myself as Ive been using ChatGPT for different reasons myself. Smh. Funny how the brain works sometimes. So 9am gym work fasted in a few minutes and will work over it when I get...

Agree on all counts as well. I was trying to play around with times taking Vitamin C not around my animal protein meals but dropped the idea as I had very sensitive gut at that time being and never felt good taking it. Tried a few forms but was same. Now I think I'm healed some so will be...

Absolutely agree with all your points and to be fair I have been just talking with my mom regarding testing all family lp(a)s next time they do a lipid panel. Also been thinking about niacin as well if lp(a) is high. What a coincidence hehe or as they say "great minds think alike" ;) I've...

UPDATE. Yesterday received a msg from my GP surgery that they sent prescription for statin, betablocker and aspirin for me to start taking asap and all that was done without even talking to me on phone or face-2-face SMH I won't be taking any of that and will take the risk and work on getting...

No I don't. I will get a new BP monitor and see what its like now. Used to be great sub 120/80ish always and low RHR due to being an athlete and doing tons of cardio work in the last 20 consecutive years. I started Lexapro 4-5 weeks ago so very interested to see if that has any effect on BP...

Can't find the most recent lipid panel and looks like I will need to run a new one fasted. Anyway I was lucky that my test result was shown to a group of cardiologists back in my country thanks to my mom. So they all agree I have mild narrowing/luminal stenosis which can be anywhere 10-50%. Now...

I'm very interested what exactly are these findings and how bad they are. I will find my notes and post my lipids tomorrow as been a long day and getting ready for a cheat dinner which me and my girl enjoy every once in a while. 15 years eating up to 10k kcal/day, cheatmeals daily for years...

We explored 5mg-12mg per week range but she more or less feels the same. So decided to explore a bit higher range and using T-Prop. 5mg EOD which is a fairly large dose. I need to check notes how many weeks she been on this protocol but lately she been saying some chest discomfort so will...

Hey guys, long time no seen, hope ya'll are doing great. Just had this shit done yesterday and was expecting results to take time but today I saw the result on the app and the Dr. Consultant Radiologist suggestion at the bottom. Quick as fuck...to offer putting me straight on 3 medications...

I've seen how he replies to serious questions and to be fair he is a clown as he can't handle any discussion politely and seems can't handle his ego as well. Nobody in their right set of mind would talk to other people like that esp when one is a doctor. Probably needs to lower his androgens and...

Had too much on my plate that running labs was the last thing on my mind. It is what it is and next time will do a proper PCT which made me feel absolutely spot on when compared to this time cold-turkey. Im guessing that I'm below or at the baseline because I'm very lean. Was always lean but got...

Yeah same here but sleep was never an issue for me. Got all the fucked up homozygous genes including some for Hemachromatosis, CYP, MTRR, COMT, PEMT, etc all +/+ and many more not helping the issues as well. This is def an underlooked area and many more should pay attention to it IMO. Btw have...

Unless it translates into full blown next day anxiety and/or panic attack shit. Plenty of issues as many can't tolerate this form, me included. Can tolerate Citrate though. Although feel absolutely no difference while on or off so I stay off. Diet is key. Everything from food and don't need no...

Been off TRT for the last odd 12 mos or something like that. Came off cold-turkey after the same time on and without PCT. I've done same only with PCT before but thought wtf might as well man up and see what happens. I have a lot of personal experience with aas, supps, nutrition, etc so I know...

Sorry to hear that brother. I def remember that I've read somewhere that T somehow is inflammatoty to the gut or something like that just not remember where. If I find the source I'll post it here. Def cut out wheat and all the other crap like grains, etc and see if your symptoms improve. I have...

Yeah can be anything and a combination of things and already good advice above from the fellow forum OGs. Fiding the root cause of things is pain in the ass thats why most opt for a pill or any other bandage, but pay later down the line. This is mens TRT forum yet so little talk about the main...

Thanks for sharing mate and damn it makes me want to give cream a test drive lol. Very very interesting results and glad that you are feeling better!

You are welcome Melody68. For sure if you are feeling any anxiety when whenever you are taking a measurement it might reflect on the BP and most likely it will. I'm always trying to select words carefully as we all so different and unique. To be able to lower BP and keep it in healty range we...

Sorry you going through this. I had a similar issue with TRT a year or so ago but my HC and HGB were perfect and barely went higher while on. Mind you I was very lean when starting, no drinking, no coffees, great, smart nutrition, perfect hydration, etc, etc. And still my great BP started...

Thats because your Doc is out to lunch. Yes Haemochromatosis is bad and depends on what genes you have and at what rate you load iron into organs. Like I said with your #'s I would def get a DNA test like Ancestry, then download raw DNA data and upload to checkiron.com algo to see if you have HH...

Also with such "Iron Panel" #'s I would def run DNA genetic test to see if you are not loading Iron and/or have Hemochromatosis which might be hereditary. Perhaps you have already done so and have your raw DNA data?

I'm all about minimizing chronic stress on the daily basis. If you need any advice just let me know. Have you done a 4pt Saliva Cortisol test to see how your adrenals are looking? I can tell you exactly what the best US adrenal docs are thinking and how they are managing it, given you have...
