A fun example is this guy: Alex Hormozi Gained 35lbs in 6 Weeks Naturally (Here's How) let it out that his T levels were at about 145 for most of his life. He started TRT in the past couple years to bring it up to the 500's.
Interesting. I'm starting on Boron next week and was using Ashwaganda only for stress relief, not for boosting T. Not yet trying DHEA until I get tested for levels. Interesting side note: boosting dopamine boosts T, so the morning 3 minute cold shower after a warm shower is now on my list (thanks Gary Brecka).
I have tried for three years to raise my levels naturally. My body wasn't interested in doing that. I think because I had 6 kids and used up all my testosterone lol
Yeah, every supplement that "raises test" I've researched at best does a non clinically significant increase. Unless there is a nutrient deficit of course.
I'm only 56 - is that distinguished?
mmm donuts...
I'm not knocking you at all. If the doctor tests me at some point and says I would benefit, then I would probably do what I needed to do. I'm glad it is helping you!
Exactly. And my biggest issue was feeling tired alot and the brain fog issue. I would give up 5 years of my life to not have that brainfog issue for the next 20 years. It was bad and within a week of being on testosterone I felt a big difference on that brainfog and energy - something I have heard anothers say as I have been researching TRT for the past few years. So I was pretty good about making this decision. I even had a brain MRI just to rule something out. Took three years and a lot of tests with the VA (Veterans Administration) before they felt confident to foot the bill to pay for this and that perhaps low T was my problem. I'm just glad I spent so much time learning about it so I could properly advocate for myself.
Thanks!! I'm 56 and I think once I hit 50 I noticed all sorts of things changing. I joke that it feels like everything is slowly dieing and you have to work hard to keep everything normal! Things I hadn't given a second thought too when I was younger and now I'm like, "Is this normal?"
I hear you! I will be 38 next week. My constant goal is to stay as young as possible for as long as possible, whatever that means for the time being.Thanks!!

I still haven't tried the cold shower or cold water bath trick yet. I live in Maine and I struggle going in the lake here in August when the water is at it's warmest.
Great goal!! By all means don't do what I did - party like I was a member of an 80's hair band for 35 years! Wreaks havoc on one's health and hard to play catch up.
don't get me wrong - was a lot of fun at times...but I sure didn't do my health any good. But I'm still alone and been focused on health and fitness and getting strong - so all is not lost!
I have low dopamine (and my genetic test confirms I'm prone to it) and the 3 minute cold shower worked although I didn't really notice the effect until about 2 hours later and it lasted for about 2 hours after that.
Thank you,
Haha that’s exactly how he did it too. It was similar to the Colorado experiment. He basically had a period that was stressed out and he lost 40lbs, then did what he outlined in the article and gained it back quick

Are you able to access transdermal cream or gel? This can be taken daily to avoid the inconsistent levels. Also saves the hassle of injections.
The She Hulk movie was bad enough without accidentally creating a sequel that's for sure.
