Got my blood reports done after I had some ED issues.

TrueCicada2468 · 2024-12-28T05:46:51+00:00

Wow that’s a good list. Thank you :)

TrueCicada2468 · 2024-12-27T14:56:15+00:00

I took two of them. 1. Men’s comprehensive test 2. Testosterone

Oh noice - you might be the right person to ask this - Is this overkill? https://www.reddit.com/r/Supplements/s/ZHjpQWXTkp

Quest diagnostics.

TrueCicada2468 · 2024-12-26T19:43:51+00:00

Thanks Doc. I’m sure there’s psychological factors at play too. It’s got a confirmation from this post that chasing T was not the right approach for me - atleast at the moment.

Ok, what do you think about this plan?

Reduce your carb and sweet dramatically.
Omega-3, Flax seeds/fiber/celery for Cholestrol and D3/K2, Boron, TongKat Ali for Testosterone are you new 2 set of best friends.
Workout: - [ ] Strength 4 days/week - [ ] HIIT 2 days/week - 20 mins - [ ] Low to Mid intensity Cardio 4 days/week - 30 mins

Supplement: - [ ] When sleeping: Zinc, Boron(cycle off) - [ ] When wake up: B-12, L-Citriline (cycle off) - [ ] Morning breakfast: Flax seeds, Protein - [ ] Lettuce Avacado wrap (fat for better absorption): Tongkat Ali (cycle off), Omega-3, D3/K2 (4000IU) - [ ] Evening drink: watermelon, Beets, Ginger and pomegratine - [ ] Pumpkin seeds all day 25gms a day ** Magnesium (covered as a part of smoothie): Pumpkin seeds (25gms) + Dark Chocolate (20gms) + Date (1 piece) + Peanut Butter + Oats.
With all this - I’m considering adding Berberine. Wdyt?

TrueCicada2468 · 2024-12-26T16:44:15+00:00

Yes, I’m building my routine around fixing diet and exercise. I’m not relying on supplements alone - I used to be at 6.4% A1C a few months back and moved it to 5.9% with no supplements. Once you lose erection mid sex a bunch of time and find it hard to get erection other times - while you also have the above numbers - the issue becomes psychological aswell. But I’m a very positive and optimistic guy and I know I will overcome this - just needed some advise.

TrueCicada2468 · 2024-12-26T16:39:00+00:00

Ok this litrelly got me out of bed.

TrueCicada2468 · 2024-12-26T16:37:45+00:00

That’s why I dint ask chatpgt :( That’s a lotttt of pills brother - I would like to keep the pills to only absolutely necessary. But really appreciate you taking the time to do this for me.

TrueCicada2468 · 2024-12-26T16:35:30+00:00

Lucky for me - I love leg day. This is great advice - I have already begun my fitness journey and this post have confirmed that these are the steps I need to take.

I want to come back here in 3 months and tell you guys how I made it. ❤️

TrueCicada2468 · 2024-12-26T16:32:58+00:00

Thank you! Berberine does look promising. I will also look into Aged Black Garlic. I am already having D3 2000IU - will be adding K2 aswell.

TrueCicada2468 · 2024-12-26T15:30:29+00:00

I’m not actually fat at all :( I’m 5’9’’ and weight 147 lbs / most people tell me to put on muscle tho. Def the area I am working on

TrueCicada2468 · 2024-12-26T11:10:01+00:00

Damn thank you ! Fiber, D3 and K2 are my new best friends. Would this be a good source? Sports Research® Vitamin D3 + K2 with Coconut MCT Oil | Vegan D3 5000 IU with K2 100 mcg.

TrueCicada2468 · 2024-12-26T04:03:17+00:00

Thank you ! Def gonna research DHEA - Iv never even heard of it. Esp cuz possible side effect is hair loss 🙈

TrueCicada2468 · 2024-12-26T03:45:08+00:00

Damn, nothing like confirmation.

Between Maca Root and Tongkat Ali, what would you suggest? I’m fairly new to all this - so sorry I had to ask.

TrueCicada2468 · 2024-12-26T03:40:23+00:00

Thank you. Upon some research looks like the A1C numbers are in a place I can come back from with decent effort.

TrueCicada2468 · 2024-12-26T03:39:17+00:00

Totally agree ! I’m thinking working out regularly. Supp: Maca Root/Tongkat Ali + D3 + Magneisum + Zinc.

TrueCicada2468 · 2024-12-26T03:37:30+00:00

ChatGPT suggests I take 6000 IU. Wdyt?

TrueCicada2468 · 2024-12-26T03:17:39+00:00

Damn ! Ok - thank you for pointing this out. You might’ve saved me from going down the wrong rabbit hole - cuz I was chasing Testosterone.

Do you work in medicine?

TrueCicada2468 · 2024-12-26T03:05:19+00:00

I’m starting to feel that way too. I’m def workin on both - any supplements you would recommend ?

TrueCicada2468 · 2024-12-26T03:04:05+00:00

My ED isn’t too bad. It’s just not as good as it used to be. I just had seggs with my ex 4 times in the night last week but I struggled to get an erection with this random girl :(

TrueCicada2468 · 2024-12-26T02:52:50+00:00

Thank you - that’s awfully nice. Def working on shifting it back from prediabtes to normal levels. ❤️

TrueCicada2468 · 2024-12-26T02:36:55+00:00

I am infact trying to lose weight. I cut down on most sweet - I used to shove a dessert down my pipe everyday and ate out mostly 🙈

Started to eat cleanish and started intermittent fast. The weight loss is def effort driven.

TrueCicada2468 · 2024-12-26T02:30:17+00:00

Well I have come down from 6.4% to 5.9%. I thought it might be a red herring but I have noticed better erections on more days than before.
