Been on TRT for about 13 years. Im 59. I started using a well know doctor on NYC but the commute became a hassle, so about 4 years ago I began using my primary care doctor for my TRT. My doctor is clueless about TRT, but he trusts me as I have been on it for years. He prescribes Test Cyp, I...
Does anyone know what the current Defy Medical restart protocol looks like? The most recent I could find was from 2021:
STOP T Cyp
BEGIN HCG 500 iu TIW x 2 weeks then stop
BEGIN Enclomiphene 25mg by mouth Daily M-F x 12 weeks then stop
CONT Anastrozole 0.2 mg twice weekly, discontinue at end...
Sorry for the excitement, but just wanted to throw it out there... I had my visit with Defy for a second opinion, and OMG, they were so knowledgeable!!! The doctor new all my medical history and labs almost by heart, and listened to all my concerns about drug interactions with diabetes. He had...
Has anyone had a problem ordering a test refill from the defy medical store ? I can access injectable nutrients and supplements but not testosterone . I’ve been a customer since 2016 . Is there a restriction on online ordering with the new proposed DEA rules ?
After careful deliberation I decided to go with Defy medical for my trt treatment.. I researched them quit a bit over the past few days and feel like I'll be in good hands with them..
I had a call with Peter at Defy to review the program and associated costs both startup and long term..the call...
Although I am grateful for western medicine.... it has been incredibly dreadful to navigate. Most of my doctors have been mediocre at best. In fact my last TRT doctor was a quack.
I made an appointment with Defy Medical after seeing that they helped out a few guys who had issues on this forum...
Hey Guys,
I’ve been lurking here for a few months now while I researched my potential issues that have been increasing in frequency and magnitude.
I’m a 34 year old father of 4 in what could be considered good physical shape, though that hasn’t been the case for many years. I’m 5’6” and 170lbs...
Ever since the FDA ban, I have been told my HCG can be supplied by Halladale or can be purchased quite cheaply without insurance for about $100 for 10,000iu at local pharmacy through GoodRx.
For HMG, however, for those of us on TRT who wishes to maintain fertility, where can we turn to? Empower...
As an FYI to assist patients during these unprecedented times (COVID-19), we have temporarily loosened some requirements for patients needing to transfer their HRT/TRT care from traditional physical locations to our remote telemedicine model. I will not elaborate here, but anyone seeking more...
I have good insurance. They cover all the tests Defy wants you to get, even the extra tests that aren't mandatory.
I am pretty sure LabCorp is who would run the tests, if I have Defy send me the script and get them done on my own.
Does Defy use a Lab that is better?
Does anyone know what the...
Been feeling really sluggish recently, so much so that I feel almost tingly/hazy at time in the mid to later afternoons and evenings and its been keeping me from having any energy to work out. I got a full blood work up, including thyroid in Dec with my primary care and he said all numbers were...
Hey, as a background to these labs, I was consistently taking 10 mcg of compounded t3 UNTIL I ran out. I ran out on a Monday, and had the labs completed the following Thursday as Defy wouldn't fill the T3 until labs were done, although they sat on the results.
Other than that these are my...
Hello everyone,
Open enrollment is just around the corner. I'm considering contribution to FSA to offset the taxes on some of my ongoing healthcare costs. I know I can use those funds for office visit co-pays and prescription co-pays (when filled locally), but what about follow-ups and...
Feel free to move this post if needed. I didn’t see a place for logs and this seemed to be the best place.
Yesterday I had my new-patient consult with Dr Calkins of Defy Medical. Man, Defy is great and Dr Calkins was awesome. He took the time to answer all of my questions and I felt like he...
I'd like to hear from Defy Medical patients (or former patients) about their customer service after the initial consultation. I have my first appointment tomorrow, but I'm concerned because it took over a month to get an initial consultation *after* my labs were done. That means that the doctor...
I’ve been trying to complete the Defy medical physical, but I can’t find anybody willing to do it. I’ve tried my GP, CVS, Walgreens and an urgent care near me. Defy patients, where do you get your physicals done and are you honest about what it’s for?
I was with Renew Youth for testosterone treatment for a monthly fee of $300. After a year I found Royal Men's Medical Center for $200 a month and switched. It seemed alright at the begining but even early on I felt it was a "cookie cutter" clinic. I wasn't impressed with Dr. Rodriguez. I was...
I had an interesting little journey today to get my annual Defy physical. Last year this time I went to Redi clinic in the Houston area and used the Defy form and got it done quickly without issue by an NP. Today was a different story alas !
I scheduled my appointment and went at the time I...
Hey everyone.
I apologize in advance for the long post. But I would greatly appreciate any insight anyone can share with me.
I am a patient with Defy Medical, and I am currently undergoing trt as well as thyroid treatment with Dr. Saya. Dr. Saya has done an amazing job getting my testosterone...
I've been on HCG for 2 months but just stopped after switching over to the great people at Defy Medical. They analyzed my labs and put me on Clomid with an estrogen blocker. I am also taking Sermorelin + HGH from another Doctor. (Not defy)
Here are my questions:
Do people normally take...
I had my initial consult with Dr. Saya last week, and I'm pretty darn impressed. The wait for the initial consult was definitively worth it. Dr. Saya was very knowledgeable about all the related blood work findings, and went through each area to make sure I understood any concerns he had.
The...
I was just listening to a recent podcast with Dr. Crisler. He mentioned ideally he prefers men to be on T-Gel along with a daily shot of HCG or EOD.
Is there anyone in this forum that is currently on a gel and seeing good results? Also, anyone know what the cost of Gel through Defy?
Guys, need some help. Took antidepressants for about 10 years. When I quit I noticed a decrease of erections to the point where I can't one on my own. I am 3 months into a TRT protocol as well with little results. My total is 432 now and free is 8.2 . When I quit antidepressants I can't last...
