  1. FAT LOSS-SKINNY FAT

    What did it for me: I struggled with skinny fat/fat loss for decades. It wasn't until I got an updated DEXA scan this last August that I told myself, "f-this, I cannot live with this any longer". That can gave me the roadmap to implement aggressive change. The results on my followup DEXA 4 mos...
  2. Clomid as TRT?

    I am seeing elevated E2 and SHBG on enclomiphene. Anyone know any compounds to reduce SHBG (other than straight TRT)?
  3. Clomid as TRT?

    25mg eod enclomiphene citrate took me from the low 400s to mid 900s total T, took a year, but I'm in my mid 60s. Clomid is pretty much obsolete and has too many negative sides.
  4. Cartalax dosing protocol

    Thanks but PS is the only supplier I trust right now. I did independent testing myself and they came out with flying colors.
  5. Cartalax dosing protocol

    I need everything I can get my hands on to help restore my joints! Stack with BPC-157, TB500, IGF1-LR3, etc.
  6. Cartalax dosing protocol

    Invalid Link Removed I extrapolated from various sites using the oral version and take 2mg sc daily (30U - 3mL bac water). Which brand are you using. I use PS which is the only supplier I trust.
  7. FAT LOSS-SKINNY FAT

    Yep, CICO, man. It's amazing how many of us go to great lengths to find other reasons for why we can't lose body fat when it all comes down to this simple equation. Increasing energy output takes a backseat to eating at a caloric deficit hands down.
  8. Small Hernia treatment?

    Your doc is 100% correct. To avoid surgery is asking for worse complications (i.e. incarceration, pain, gut issues, etc.). It is a minimally-invasive procedure. There is no other way to reverse it nor should you waste time trying.
  9. Need help interpreting my thyroid bloodwork

    Not personally, but have researched it and have friends with it. It's a an autoimmune disease in which your body is making antibodies and attacks its own thyroid tissue as if it was a foreign object. Over time, this will essentially destroy your thyroid if left untreated, resulting in a...
  10. Need help interpreting my thyroid bloodwork

    Fire your PCP. You have Hashimoto's thyroiditis. Drop all wheat/gluten products and talk to your HRT doc about thyroid replacement, preferably natural desiccated thyroid.
  11. The Official Hypothyroidism Thread

    Haven't seen him yet only because I live out of the area and haven't had a chance to get an appt. yet. The downside (as with anyone half-way decent) is that they usually don't take insurance AND are not inexpensive. But my health is my most valuable asset and what better to invest in, as we only...
  12. The Official Hypothyroidism Thread

    Good timing to bring this up, as I need to re-evaluate my thyroid function after all these years as I know it is still not optimized putting it on the back burner due to other issues, and rather than self-experimentation, I'm going to consult with a top-rated endo whose treatment philosophy...
  13. Article: Insulin Resistance

    The cals and carbs are way too high for week 1-2 for those that are already IR. A CKD or TKD would be best for those with IR, closer to what week 3 is, except carbs even lower, like 10-15% max.
  14. Article: Insulin Resistance

    The cals and carbs are way too high for week 1-2 for those that are already IR and/or have a bf of >15%. A keto diet (CKD or TKD) would be best in these cases, closer to what week 3 is, except carbs even lower, like 10-15% max, and fats closer to 55%.
