    Have any thoughtful insight or experience??

    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...

    When to Draw for Defy - peak or valley?

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

    Naked...the first 3D fitness tracker

    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...

    Up coming Consult with DEFY.... Look at my labs for concerns I should address with Dr Saya.

    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. ��

    When to Draw for Defy - peak or valley?

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

    When to Draw for Defy - peak or valley?

    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...

    More Injection Questions...

    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...

    Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard Whey Protien

    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...

    Lipo-C - Who's using / what doses?

    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...

    Defy's typical protocol for women??

    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.

    Defy's typical protocol for women??

    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).

    Up coming Consult with DEFY.... Look at my labs for concerns I should address with Dr Saya.

    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 -...

    Defy's typical protocol for women??

    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...

    EPA vs DHA, Know the Differences

    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...

    EPA vs DHA, Know the Differences

    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...)

    I want to go with defy, but I have a major concern

    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...

    EPA vs DHA, Know the Differences

    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...

    Lipo-C - Who's using / what doses?

    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...
