Riiiggght... so if ya scared.. you might need to stay out of this thread..While y'all switching on yaselves, these threads are open to the internet.
I'll be in this thread whether I choose to say sumpin' liable or not.
estradiol is a little high (test converting to estrogen, most likely). You want to see that number somewhere in the 20s preferably)
364 is low-normal
any symptoms (compared to when you were younger)?
Come on man.. tell that man the truth.
" That's a lot of damn estrogen and he'll probably be lactating within the next two months...
that was my exact point
Got my follow up test. Gym time is working.
What did you do to increase your total testosterone?
Just hitting the gym bro. Ive been vegan for a two weeks too and lost 7lbs since, but Ive been hitting Golds like I was in my 20s. Only supplement is creatine and protein. 5 days a week.
You planning on staying Vegan or is this just to drop weight?
Right now it’s the weight loss that’s keeping me in it. I’m 207lbs now and trying to get under 200. Ideally 190lbs. I think ultimately I’ll go back to meat(pause), but I think I can do a mostly vegan diet and maintain that with a steak or bbq sparingly. No eggs is a killer for me too. I love eggs.
i was pescatarian for over two years then i watched a segment on youtube about maintaining testosterone. anyways, the instructor was saying that a vegan diet is terrible for men over 40. not saying this to hate on you at all, just sharing because i've been there.
i wouldnt mind going back to fish only. i do love eggs too tho.

Where you get it and how much and most importantly ( no homo) does it fuck with your dick. Cause if it does….
why?
it looks like the video i used to watch is gone, but it was good. basically said every meal you want a protien, a carb, a vegetable and a fruit. but here is the same guy. he speaks on it at the 23 minute mark; says vegan diet doesnt support testosterone.
That's interesting. I'd like to know what carbs do to support testosterone production? I don't see why testosterone levels would be down on a keto diet. The keto macro breakdown is 65% fat, 35% protein and 5% carbs, which is the same breakdown of an egg. Eating saturated animal fat plays a big part in test. production. Carbs provide energy, but if you go into ketosis the body switches to using it's fat stores for energy. Plus if you're doing intermittent fasting it help with testosterone levels. So what am I missing? I'm not arguing his point, I'm just trying to understand his reasoning.
And see, the other thing is that keto is basically this: Stay away from bread/pasta, rice, potatoes and corn (and of course, sugar). Everything else you can pretty much eat. If you're trying to stay healthy, you should avoid the starchy/sugary foods anyway, so how is keto a diet? To me it's just or can be healthy eating.

yeh...more test equals more fuckin... brah
Not necessarily!! It can potentially get bound up in SHBG and raise your estrogen, both of which can fuck with your dick!!
arimidex...or nolvadex...will clear it right up...brah
i could be wrong, but i think the carbs help your workouts, heavy activities.
i used to try to avoid carbs and i would feel tired, sluggish etc. i also wasnt getting enough protein so my issues were probably a combination of lack of carbs and protein. but since i started the testosterone diet, protein, carb, veggie, fruit, my energy levels are fine.
i also used to eat once a day, and i might even go back to that, but with the testosterone diet, i eat three times a day. i didnt realize eating more times keeps your metabolism up.

How Hormone Therapies Are Transforming Aging
Ever wonder why old rich guys are looking a little more muscular these days?
Before y’all do any TRT make sure you hit the gym and lift weights consistently for 3 months. Get a baseline test first. Creatine and protein, you don’t need anything extra. When I spoke with my doctor on my follow she was like that jump in a few months is incredible. I was knocking on the door of Low T and now I’m above average. I’m gonna do another follow up in 3 months. Weightlifting is the best as you get older for stronger bones and maintaining a good T level. Don’t let them 40s+ catch you off guard.

congrats on getting your test numbers up. you still want to lower that estrogen (if you're losing bodyfat that will come down in time) SHBG is on the high end as well. (the high number indicates that your hormones are bound up/not readily available for your body to use). Keep at it bruh
likely due to a vegan diet's tendency to leave your body deficient of certain nutrients & complete protein sources. A vegan diet is wonderful for overall health however. just something to consider.
Yeah, the doc suggested a supplement called DIM to lower and regulate estrogen levels. I’ll see how it goes and the next test.congrats on getting your test numbers up. you still want to lower that estrogen (if you're losing bodyfat that will come down in time) SHBG is on the high end as well.

I’m on a vegan diet right now. I supplement protein with these shakes cause I lift more weights now to maintain the muscle. Also I’m ordered this supplement drink called Athletic Greens. It’s basically a replacement for multivitamins. Next thing I want to check is my micronutrients levels.
I, and every person on TRT, takes DIM. it works wonders for that purpose. that will get your estrogen/SHBG numbers lower for sure. it works by freeing up your testosterone/limiting the amount that converts to estrogen. in turn, your free T reading will be higher. Get on DIM for a couple months and get your bloodwork done. Keep us updated.
Thinking about trying Dianabol. Anyone ever try it before what was your experience and your results?
you might wanna direct that one @ killamayne
