HIGH and LOW DHT and PFS cases ( protocols , explanations, theories)

Messages

After reading the recommendation of this thread I took zinc, magnesium b6 (zma) in the morning then an night took 250mg of b1. Within 20minutes I felt a set of the cognitive side effects (problems with perception, head ache and pressure, neck pain and depression) just disappeared, I'm quite astounded that b1 could have this effect. I will pulse the b1 every 3 days.

My only question is around the theory is zinc and b1 have opposing effects causing reduced receptor density. But I thought the effects zinc and b1 are both mediated via 5ar, e.g. there is an increased receptor binding of AR with zinc BECAUSE it does lower endogenous DHT. wouldnt it cancel the effects out of b1 which enhances the same enzyme?

I’m low androgen and assuming high oxidizer (just sent my hair to TEI). I’ll be doing trt and TEI for a year. Hoping the mineral balance fixes my LH and FSH receptors to the point where after doing pct LH will be normal and able to produce enough test

--not wuf, but yes. Close ish to anti inflammatory, keto for slows... fast 1 some modifications. similar to how i ate +/- restrictions. like no veggie oil which is crap.
-but recommends pistachios to me which i am allergic to. which is odd... - but also: no kale. --etc. --lots of stuff. --but i just choose things i know work for me, sometimes add things from there. or if something hurts me a bit, i check to see if it's on the "do not eat" list so to speak. not on tei now, but will be... for asthma, sleep, functionality alone. and pfs. -but it takes time.
--seems to work , took some out of 4 lows. seems to smooth out things. i liked it but for one issue. but ev helpful does something else so not a big deal at all. also the cost and time i guess.

Guys I started TRT 2 weeks ago and the one thing I’ve noticed so far is that I have PE really bad even when masturbating. Does anyone know why this would be or what to do about it?

Would really appreciate the help here

I remember @Helen explained it different times, maybe you can find something about it in the WIKI of the forum? @Boris

Yes it is normal. Dude the first cycle I felt bad too especially first month. Depression, lethargy, headaches, stomach issues, etc. Now I sometimes feel bad but in a different way. Eventually you get used to it and just accept it as your modus operandi. Then it gets easier.

I was talking about TEI. I also did TRT in the past - for what are you on TRT?
Got it, I’m on TRT because I had low T and tried several ways to increase like hog/clinic restart and it fell back down. I noticed my LH levels were low and because of that I can’t produce enough test.

I remember reading a post that LH production is dependent on having correct mineral balance and I wanted to try if trt would make me feel better. Helen also said once that it doing TRT while on TEI could have several benifits

Why don't you try testosterone with pogresterone? See if that works for you. I think something like 100mg test with 5mg progesterone I read here somewhere. You have to test it out. Maybe you need more or less progesterone.

I’ve been using about 10-20mg a day of prof as well and on the two days I use test I’ve also added 300 iu’s of hog to remain fertile. I wonder if I’d do better with t3. I should find out if im slow or fast oxidizer next week

Do you guys reccomend any certain progesterone product? I got mine from Smokey mountain naturals on Amazon and maybe it’s not great leading to anxiety while on trt. I know the prog is supposed to be key while on this protocol
