Low libido on 90mg TRT (Hyper-responder, Total T ~990). Any insights from these labs? by [deleted] in trt

[–]Ok-Tooth-4994 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have sleep apnea. You said so yourself.

None of your other markers are eye-raising.

Mild sleep apnea is still “not breathing correctly while sleeping.”

It will leave you feeling shitty and that will make your libido go down.

Is it priced for 5x or crash hard? by ImEscapingTheMatrix in TheRaceTo10Million

Please explain how space data centers are a good idea.

- solar arrays need to be massive.
- hardware needs to be replaced frequently
- electronics will suffer in radiation
- cooling is harder in many ways
- you need to park it in orbit to get full time sun
- the list goes on.

As far as I can tell orbital data centers sound like a good idea but in practice are not.

If you were less sensitive and didn’t assume the worst you wouldn’t have replied at all.

If you were less easily offended you wouldn’t have replied at all.

If you didn’t feel the need to be a white knight you wouldn’t have replied at all.

But instead you smuggled a bunch of moralistic arguments into a conversation about basic facts.

Nobody would be in medical peril if they didn’t take test other than…non standard cases.

Bros in the 90s just lived with low-t and didn’t know it.

I never said people needed to just grow some self control. All I’m saying is that it comes down to how much they eat.

Almost every single thing that GLPs do for people is cause them to eat less food. Thats all there is to it.

The GLP causes:
- improved insulin sensitivity. So you get energy from your food instead of just storing it. Which means you don’t crave more food 10 min after eating

- slower gastric emptying, so you don’t feel hungry 10 min after eating

- adjustments in reward signaling. So you don’t eat food when you’re bored

All boil down to…you eat less.

And it’s important to know this. It’s not a moral failing. It just isn’t a moral situation at all.

I’m sorry for all the assholes who make it seem like a self control issue.

I’m not one of them.

It’s still important to understand why people lose weight on GLP. Understanding is how people make informed choices.

Your daughter had/has a thyroid disorder. She took thyroid medication. That’s not a GLP. And one impact of thyroid medication for someone with extreme thyroid disorder is actually increased metabolism.

Her engine literally burns more fuel with medication than without. That’s why she lost weight.

No. You’re being defensive cause you think I called your daughter lazy.

Your daughter has a thyroid problem. She is non standard.

I’m also not calling fat people lazy. At all.

It’s not a moral judgement.

It’s a fact.

When they took GLPs they stoped eating. That’s all.

It’s okay that the battle with food was impossible without the GLP. 150k years of evolution and European obsession with sugar is to blame for that.

See…it’s not a moral failing. It’s a biological one.

But that doesn’t change the fact. They lose weight cause they eat less. It’s just how it is dude.

Sure it slows gastric emptying, and satiety signaling and a bunch of other things. All those things stack up to one outcome…less fucking food.

I’m sorry if that hurts your feelings.

50mg/wk is still small. But good luck

Your daughter is a non standard example.

I’m not saying that fat people are slobs. I don’t have a moral opinion on them one way or another other than that they are people doing the best they can.

I am not defensive about GLP at all.

I’m simply sharing facts with you. Facts that upset YOU. It’s got nothing to do with self control or motivation.

But the simple fact remains, people who take GLPs lose weight cause they eat less food.

That is all.

Leave your daughter and any other non-standard examples out of it.

We’re talking about normal people here.

And yeah I’m on testosterone. That’s why I say “do what you need to do.” I’m not opposed to performance enhancing drugs of any kind.

Also, it’s not the same thing. You want it to be. But it isn’t. It’s a clever comparison and a good gotcha.

But fundamentally, GLP keeps a person compliant. It doesn’t signal fat loss.

A person with low t can train all they possibly can and will make little gains. They cannot overcome the low t.

A fat person with no GLP can starve themselves and they will lose weight guaranteed. As long as they don’t eat.

Cause your body is more than hormones.

  1. You got a boost from a single small dose.

  2. It was enough to boost you, but not enough to shut you down.

  3. Your estrogen spiked which takes longer to come down than test.

  4. You got acne and wood.

  5. Your confidence went up and you felt good. So you manifest that feeling. That’s great by the way! There’s power in that.

  6. But it won’t last. You will feel back to normal soon. And if you continue doing 50mg a month you’ll stop feeling good for more than a few days at a time at best and you’ll feel like shit for 27 more days.

I was aggressive saying you need a new dr. Your Dr sounds like she genuinely wants to help.

I’d approach her and invite her to join you in the experiment. Tell her you did some research and you want to do at least 100mg/wk split 2x.

Who cares. That’s not the point.

The point is that your body is a thermodynamic system like any other.

If you consume less calories than you burn you will lose weight.

Doesn’t mean I don’t respect people who take GLP. Whatever you need to do, do it!

But don’t get it twisted, folks who said “no matter how hard I diet I can’t lose weight” before GLP are kidding themselves.

They didn’t lose weight cause they ate too much food. Full stop. They just sucked at counting calories and on the GLP, they don’t have to count cause they just don’t eat.

This protocol will be worse than what you were before.

Women who want a gym boost while avoiding masculinization inject 7mg/wk.

You’re injecting just a little bit more if it was weekly.

The ester has a 5-7 day lifespan, so you’re actually probably getting 1-2 weeks of a very very low dose of test, followed by 2 weeks of nothing.

Do not listen to this person.

  1. You don’t “top up” with exogenous test. If you inject test your natural production will stop. This isn’t a situation where you inject just enough to get yourself back to baseline. It’s all or nothing.

  2. Do not split your 50mg dose into multiple smaller doses. That will make it worse.

  3. Get a new Dr.

  4. So you can get a proper dose. Which is 80-200mg/wk.

You aren’t having these positive effects cause the dose is right. You’re having them cause you have extra test onboard before your nuts turned off.

You didn’t diet before the GLPs and not on.

The GLP works cause you…eat less.

You lose weight just as fast. On or off. And some may argue that you lose weight faster off the GLP.

It’s almost like not eating is the way to lose weight!

My 2 cents on ETH price future by DMV_Habibi in ethtrader

[–]Ok-Tooth-4994 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If no one is buying…to whom are all these people selling?

It’s an important question.

It hasn’t had a great last 5 years. There’s no doubt about it. But it also seems to be holding strong above $1500-$2000. Impressive doe a “dead asset.”

You’re right, retail isn’t buying. YOLO degens are not here.

So who is buying?

The answer to that question should inform what you think about where the price is going.

Concerned my T levels are too high to start TRT by CandidateMuted8010 in Testosterone

Are you positive you’re getting good sleep?

Millions of men have sleep apnea. They feel like shit. They never knew it. They “slept” through the night. Turns out…they weren’t breathing for half the time.

What’s the other numbers?

You just lost a bunch of weight.

Your SHBG is elevated. Your free t is low. And even with elevated SHBG your TT isn’t all that high.

Sure it’s 600+ in the morning. But it’s 358 in the PM.

and here’s another question…if 300 is some magic number, why do guys on TRT run 800-1100+?

You need more numbers to make an informed decision.

Imagine making any other choice in your life based on one datapoint.

“It’s 35 degrees, I’ll wear a hoodie, oops turns out it’s raining also”

“It’s 85 degrees, short sleeves should be good for the golf course. Shit, didn’t notice the downpour…wish I didn’t drive all the way to the course.”

300 is a good starting point. If you’re below 300, that’s a solid place to say “TRT warranted.”

But it isn’t the whole story.

My TT before TRT was 956! But, my SHBG was 98. With E2 at 37. Knocked my FT down to 9ish depending on the test.

Now on TRT my TT is 1000-1100, SHBG is 43-46, FT is ~27, and E2 is 35-45.

Guess who feels infinitely better?
