    Have trouble metabolizing alcohol as a drink and have no idea what reaction I will have injecting it, even in a minute amount.

  2. Default testosterine injectable question

    Does anyone know if there is alcohol-free test or do they all have alcohol?

  3. Normal T, low Free T, High SHBG - TRT or not?

    Man, I can only hope it would be that simple. I have been trying like hell to get my bf down for the last 3 years naturally and I think that anything over 18% bf is a huge factor in causing these problems. I am about 22% now. My doc agrees with you that most of these maladies will ameliorate...

    can you be more specific?

  5. Normal T, low Free T, High SHBG - TRT or not?

    I had two blood clots last year (most likely due to too much T3) so I am very familiar with fibrinogen level as well as all the lipid issue. I do take aspirin and many other natural thinners like ginkgo, FO, garlic, etc. At first I thought it was the higher SFAs from eating paleo foods like...

    I take about 5g a hawthorn daily and still awake with HTN. Not for sure on the FO unless I stop it again and measure readings. BP just keeps increasing for no apparent reason. Nothing is working in combination or separate (arginine, hawthorn, fish oil, magnesium, GABA, etc.). For the last 3...

    Serum Mg is in the mid-range. Never notice spasms. OSA can also cause HTN as well. Like I said, I was dx'd with a mild form of OSA. I also have the MTHFR mutation which is associated with HTN as well. Double whammy. I was trying mag citrate but it gave me the runs. I am going to switch to mag...

    You mean the serum ACE which is a lab test? My last result was 62 which is high normal. My renin and aldosterone is super low as is sodium. Thoughts? MTHFR is associated with HTN: ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22237773

    Here 's something: VLC DIET = ↑ CATECHOLAMINES (i.e. ADRENALIN) = ↑ BP Thoughts?

    My sodium is already low so I don't know if a diuretic would help. I was taking a special celery seed extract, but ran out a few weeks ago. Most diuretics change the ratio of sodium to potassium in the blood and as a result dangerous side effects can occur. In contrast, celery seed extract acts...

    Chronic inflammation has been at the root of most of these issues including body comp. The problem is that we can't determine the source(s) of the inflammation. Too much thyroid hormone is one - and is what I believed caused the latest bout of inflammation. Disrupted sleep is another. There are...

    I am already on a methylation protocol for MTHFR. What else do you see? Internalizing stress? Yes. ADHD? No. Have no kids to worry about.

    Thought that was the case with IGF-1. I have never done the Rhein. I did Meridian's a couple years ago: HGH: 1931 - REF RANGE: 1065-4722 TESTOSTERONE: 42.3 REF RANGE: 20-200 I have low sodium. Do you think Rhein is more accurate?

  16. Normal T, low Free T, High SHBG - TRT or not?

    You must be reading my medical history! I did a sleep study which showed mild OSA (obstructive sleep apnea) + I am getting sleepy an hour after my first meal even though little or no carbs. Lack of sleep = low GH and T = imbalanced body composition! If it wasn't for my doc urging me to do a...

    Morning BP is going though the roof without any known cause. Wonder if my recent stopping the omega 3's could be a factor. Any thoughts?

    I'm in a tough spot; I've got too much bf, but not enough lean mass. Kind of a skinny fat situation. Training heavy while IFing has led to a shoulder injury and has further limited my routine, so you're assessment is correct. IFing at least keeps my calories under control. On an even more...

    The whole practice of IF and the leangains 16/8 regimen in particular is to train fasted around 12pm or so with BCAAs only (to prevent catabolism) and then eat your first meal at 1pm. Or, in my case, pushing the fat-burning even farther by doing a 20/4 regimen. I can eat the same amount of...

    I actually only eat 2 meals a day because I fast 18-20 hrs. until late afternoon about 30-45 following my workouts, so not enough time to get in 3 meals. Here's a revised daily avg. macro plan. Yes, there is a protein-sparing effect with LCHF (low-carb high-fat). Let me know what you think: 70%...
