Apologies for the coming rant, but I have to warn people... Highly highly DISCOURAGE anyone from going with pellets. I tried it for a couple years (before finding this site, and Defy Medical) - and it did not work well for a variety of reasons: 1. It really is a minor surgical procedure. They...

Thanks - that makes a lot of sense. I definitely love the more frequent injections.

I want one. Too bad it's not shipping for a year...but I'm a gadget geek and love fitness stuff like this. The pre-order price of $500 isn't too bad either. I wasn't aware that they reduced it to only $95 downpayment. Now that's tempting...

Outstanding. That was my experience as well. Had a bunch of questions all written out - and he addressed every one before I even had a chance to ask. ��

Thanks guys! Much appreciated. I do have a list of questions. But in general - I'm feeling great.

That's kind of what I was thinking...to see my lowest levels. Any other input before I make my appointment? Thanks.

Here's the dilemma: I inject Monday AM and Thursday PM. My choices for next blood draw is either Friday or Monday before I inject. I can't do Sat or Sun because lab clinic is closed. And I can't do Tues-Thurs because I'm traveling. Original instructions from Defy were "have labs drawn...

I use 27gauge 1/2inch needle for Test Cyp. I buy the insulin syringe type with the needle fixed. So I do not draw with a separate needle. Doesn't take too long to draw, and I don't even feel needle going in. I inject in both quads and both delts - rotating through the 4 sites. (FYI - I...

Yes - I've been a big fan of Optimum Nutrition for many years now. Their Gold Standard Whey has been awesome and consistent, and it's great to see that it's high quality per Labdoor's assessment! However - I get tired of the taste of certain brands after a while. So I periodically seek out...

Yep - Labdoor.com is a great resource. The other two I use are: Examine.com and ConsumerLab.com

Thanks guys. Interesting how we are all different, and I have no problem being a lab rat in that respect. Here are some things I've tried: - Tried injecting 1mm in multiple spots and had no issues in quads or belly subQ. I could feel a little bump for a while in the belly, probably due to 1mm...

Thanks everyone for the comments and feedback. And thanks Chris for the detailed information - I suspected there's a lot more "to it" than we are getting from her current hormone doc, so we're excited to transition to Defy.

Those are awesome charts that I had not seen before. Thanks for the post and calling attention to them (and for the link, Torrential).

Cool - thanks for the feedback. Do you mind if I ask where she has to apply it? And is she finding it easy and convenient to fit into her daily routine. (My wife is a little hesitant about the daily creams, but I think the consistency will work much much better for her).

Here's more detailed analysis and Labdoor's assessment of it too: https://labdoor.com/review/ocean-blue-professional-omega-3

He'll consider and comment on just about everything as long as there are lab results to provide data. My one mistake was I should've asked for a full thyroid panel. I've been on thyroid medication and want him to start overseeing that as well, but didn't think to test for Free T3 and Free T4 -...

Hey Folks, I'm in the early stages with Defy (only one consult so far with Dr. Saya) but have been thoroughly impressed with him and the whole office staff. Can't say enough good things about my experience so far. We're thinking about moving my wife over to Defy to be under there treatment...

According to Ocean Blue's website: 1 soft gel = 675mg EPA + 300mg DHA = 975mg total. Studies show tissue saturation occurs by 3grams, so 2-3 soft gels per day makes sense to max tissue saturation, assuming you aren't getting much EPA or DHA from daily food sources. (I don't - I rarely eat...

Thanks for the recommendation Nelson. Just picked it up for my Kindle. Thanks.

Ha - that's exactly the stuff I take. In fact, I just re-ordered a bottle. Good stuff. I used to take Carlson's Fish Oil - but liquid is kind of slimy to swallow, and certainly not as convenient to take (I travel, so it's easier to pack caps...)

If I were in your shoes, I would go to the experts (Defy) while I can, and determine the right protocol for me. It takes some trial and error and the expertise of knowledgeable Docs like Crisler and Saya to get it right. Then if the time comes where you can no longer afford their services, at...

I accept your peace-offering. Same back atcha. I'll go edit my post per your recommendation.

Someone needs to have his e2 levels checked. Next time I'll post some commentary since you can't adequately connect the dots...like this: Your article's summary is as follows: Dr. Sears says "probably" twice the levels... So how much? And how much total w3s should I take daily?? Oh - Dr...

Max's Dr. Sears' article is a good reminder of both the differences between EPA & DHA, as well as some of the benefits of both. I find many people's diets are insufficient in both and fish oil supplementation is very beneficial. But too much of a good thing, can be not so good. Also, I think...

I'm liking the sound of that. Way to go buddy.

Anyone knowledgable about NAD or this company (Elysium) and their supplement, BASIS? I thought this article was interesting... http://www.fastcoexist.com/3041800/one-of-the-worlds-top-aging-researchers-has-a-pill-to-keep-you-feeling-young?utm_source=********

Great information Jasen. Thanks for sharing.

Question for you guys. Any ideas on Half-Life of the key elements in Lipo-C? I've seen dosing frequencies of daily, EOD, and 3x/week. Defy told me I can inject daily or 2-3 times per week in various amounts (1-3ml) as long as I don't exceed 9ml/week (calculated from 3 times per week at...

That's awesome - and great to hear!

What is the reason for the increase? I thought your numbers looked great...Total and Free T both top of range. (free actually above the range).
