I just wonder how you use body hair ,
how exactly you do that>
you take hair from different spot on the leg? or chest?
how does it work?

So, after I have had my hair test done and I order my supplements, I wait till I start the cycle. First day of the cycle, I shave my legs and chest. I let that grow out during the cycle, which gives me an accurate picture of what happened during the cycle. All the growth happened during that run of supplements, and should give the road map for that time period. At the end of the cycle, I shave again, and that is what I submit. Also, leg and chest hair is not polluted by other cosmetic products. Just washed with soap during showers.

well, I don't know if its undone because they give u supps based on your current state. So you take hydrogen water then you get hair tested and take the wrong supplements and it will just push you in the wrong direction. Also, why do you use body hair and not pubic/armpit instead?
Well, I use body hair because it’s the most untouched by products. Pubic hair I could definitely use, but armpit hair, I use deodorant so that will skew that. I guess my question is what is the difference in them vs leg/ chest hair? I would figure it to be the same.

I don't think we know since TEI/ARL suggests only pubic, aux or scalp - and scalp being the best. So for me personally I wouldn't even risk even doing body hair because it is not even listed at all. We could ask Catherine but I doubt she will say anything other than what TEI lists on their paperwork
Hey have you guys noticed this?:
So I was gone working over seas for the last three weeks. Just got back yesterday. Getting home to my wife, my libido and desire were off the charts. Like back to normal. We had an amazing roll in the hay. Now, today I am back to diminished desire, libido, everything. So, it’s not that it’s completely broken. It seems like it is extremely delayed. Where as pre PFS, after a night of sex, I would be ready to go the next night, now it takes a week or two to be ready go full bore again. This is encouraging, but, what could cause that? Is it prolactin related? Hormonal? Does this fit in the experience that you guys are having with PFS? Would love to hear your thoughts.

It's usually elevated prolactin or POIS related in that part. It's also interesting as well, when I still had PFS - I travel a lot for work as well, and anytime I would fly, the next day or so after I felt great. Usually all symptoms felt much, much better. Just thought that was very interesting since you obviously just got back from a trip that would've required air travel (because, who takes boats nowadays....).

did you cease your hair test supps cycle? if so how long ago? probably a rebound if so
Who takes boats!? The USMC does! They just call up their designated Uber driver.... the US Navy

I have the same delayed libido, haven’t paid attention to the flying tho , will test next time
Alright, been off supps for about three weeks now. I just finished a 5 day water fast..... (I know, I know, not all that long. But, for my first, it was a decent step). Observations:
My experience during the fast was not at all like anything I have read about fasting. “ After day 2 or 3, you will not care about food anymore”. “After day three you will experience a euphoric feeling, you will have total mental clarity, and boundless energy”.
I was hungry the entire time. I was weak. I had problems thinking straight. Very light headed. That said, I’m glad I did it. I will do it again, and gradually intense the duration. I have felt great post fast. It’s crazy how quickly you start to feel human again after introducing food back into your system. It is VERY difficult to not want to eat every morsel of food that passes in front of your face. We will see how I do over the next few weeks. I will probably get another hairtest at that point and jump back on TEI.

New hair test is back. This is interesting. I have been off of supplements for a bit now. I guess I stopped my last round late February. Since then I have done a 5 day water fast, and have been .25mg of Fin once a week. I am still a fast 3, but my potassium has come way down, and I think this is one of my more balanced hair tests. Once again, I feel 100% except for two things: sexual/libido issues and then emotional/numbness issues. By that, I mean memories don’t affect me like they used to. I used to think of certain sentimental moments of life and get choked up thinking about it. Now, it’s like my mind doesn’t even want to engage those memories. Can’t even remember those moments in detail, and when I do, doesn’t have the same impact. Sexually, things have been stagnant. So the conundrum persists: the hairiest are becoming more balanced, but sexually, things seem to stay the same. Gotta figure out how to conquer that aspect! Thoughts?

Funny because for me sexual is getting better but still deal with brainfog. I think it fixes everything in different order. I also have some memory issues. Especially on the supplements my mind is kinda flat.
In downswings my brainfog becomes 10x worse but after it I get better. It goes everytime like this.
It seems my dopamine works better now since music sounds good again, food tastes good, etc. it is all dopamine I think.
I get what you are saying with the lack of details of memories. Although I can remember more and more details now. My short term memory is also better since I can remember what I did yesterday. For a while I did not remember anything. Nothing. Maybe in a very simple way like "I went to work and went home and slept" - no details.
I think we were really fucked up haha. And the better you get the more you become aware of certain things. I did not even think about memories or that it was strange I did not remember anything. I lived like a zombie - just auto pilot.
The better I get also the more I see how fucked I am in some ways and it takes time I think.
I would say stay on TEI and give it some time for the libido.
The thing with TEI that I am realizing is that improvement in the hair tests, does not necessarily equate to improvement in symptoms or how healthy I feel. You would think as more balance was achieved, feelings of wellbeing would follow. That was the case in the beginning of mineral balancing, but doesn’t seem to be the case anymore.

Yea I thought so too. But remember Goose had a hairtest that looked worse but he felt better. This was explained because you take layers off. So your hairtest may look worse but you can get better.

What are your ratios? You really need to look at those as well besides the overall first graph.
