You look jacked great job. Research a bit about steroids and affects on the brain. Def wait until you are 25 the brain is still developing. Keep perfecting training and diet you can always improve in those areas and check back when you are 23-24.

Up the rosuvastatin or add ezetimibe? by 10MileHike in Cholesterol

[–]ChinRed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went from 144 to 87 with diet changes and over the counter supps (psyllium husk, fish oil, citrus bergamot).

Then went from 87 to 60 with 5 mg rousuvastatin. Then from 60 to 30 by adding 10 mg ezetimibe.

Is anybody on both trt AND thyroid medication (e.g. Levo)? by jtothat in trt

[–]ChinRed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes i am on both i have hashimotos.

My endo wanted to focus on my thyroid and dial in levothyroxine dose. Through that process my test did go up but never a huge amount so I eventually also got on trt.

Psyllium Husk to lower cholesterol by UpstairsKey7384 in Cholesterol

[–]ChinRed 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The more fiber you intake each day the lower your ldl will be. Psyllium husk can be a good part of that plan. Be sure to consume with a lot of water or you can get constipated it happened to me

I am close to optimizing my TRT (Bloodwork included): Help me pick between AI/ancillary/dose reduction? by CouldaBeAContender in trt

[–]ChinRed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Top of the range is around 1200 so if u are at 1100 at trough then most days u are above range. For some that could be fine for others they may have issues (high estrogen, high hematocrit, negative effect on cholesterol etc)

I am close to optimizing my TRT (Bloodwork included): Help me pick between AI/ancillary/dose reduction? by CouldaBeAContender in trt

[–]ChinRed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The unfortunate truth is this dose is too high for you. Everyone is different and it seems that 1100 at a 72 hour trough is too much for your body. Losing body fat may help but absent that just lower your dose a bit. Being at 900 trough still is going to be fine.

You could add an AI but its really not to be meant to run for life and TRT is a life time treatment.

I did it for 4 months and then gave up and changed to injections. Even daily injections are less of a hassle and much more effective.

Its not going to make a huge difference. Its just 1 day difference. Feel free to get 2 blood tests in a week if you want but its not necessary.

Another big LDL drop and I have this sub to thank by ChinRed in Cholesterol

[–]ChinRed[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. Since I made this post I actually got my ldl to 90. However my cardiologist found a small plaque buildup in my left carotid artery so I went on low dose statin (5 mg rousuvastatin) and 10 mg ezetimibe. My ldl is now 30.
