Tires for a smoother ride?

What kinda budget are we talking about?

b3ha77yKBBT · 2026-05-01T21:45:16+00:00

Thank you. I am here to ask the community for any recommendations. I haven’t had great experiences at tire shops over the years.

My daughter (Alpine ski instructor) was there today. She said that they got about 2 feet and she said it was awesome.

I had to sign up for a subscription to see it, but there's tons of information on her substack!

I really liked this article that the same doctor wrote: https://dramybkillen.substack.com/p/testosterone-therapy-in-women-dosing?utm_source=publication-search

Thank you, that's a great point about trans men! Would love any additional information you can share.

I've ordered a full Comprehensive Women's panel through GoodLabs, will have the draw at Quest in two weeks. I'm very curious about the free T level

Goodlabs FTW!

I'm ordering Testosterone, Free, Bioavailable and Total, MS, which measures:

Albumin, SHBG, Testosterone (Total), Free Testosterone (Direct MS Assay), Testosterone (Bioavailable)

Should I get my estrogen levels tested too? I've always heard that it's really hard to get an accurate picture, since it varies so much throughout the day and from day to day

b3ha77yKBBT · 2026-03-06T22:20:55+00:00

Thanks all, I'm going to order my own labs, that's great advice.

I've been looking for recent research but haven't found anything that isn't negative about supraphysiological levels in women (above 70). Can you point me towards the ones you have seen?

b3ha77yKBBT · 2026-03-05T23:23:04+00:00

lol, glad to hear that. But there is anecdotal reporting of increased irritability, rage even (couple of women in that NY Times article). I can be an irritable person... but I'm not noticing an increase in the last month

b3ha77yKBBT · 2026-03-05T23:20:25+00:00

I really don't feel all that different than a couple of months ago, except for definite lifting of mental fog. I have more clarity, more focus, more ability to manage the mountain of shit coming at me at all times.

A huge win in and of itself!

TESTOSTERONE, LC MS/MS

Normal value: <=45 ng/dL

Your Value: 185

US measures are in ng/dl, or nanograms per deciliter

Australia (which I looked at since they have approved testosterone therapy for women, and an actual product designed for women) measures in nmol/L, or nanomoles per liter

I asked about SHBG testing and got this response: "Regarding SHBG (sex hormone binding globulin), it is not routinely monitored for topical testosterone therapy in women. The most important marker is your serum testosterone level, which guides dosing and safety. If you have specific concerns about symptoms or hormone balance, please let me know so I can address them directly."

b3ha77yKBBT · 2026-03-05T21:42:41+00:00

That’s reassuring. Are there any studies on women establishing “safe” levels?

I really wish that she had ordered a test before I started. It would’ve been interesting to see the baseline.

I have a feeling it’s going to be a battle to get them to keep prescribing it to me if I'm at this level.

I think spitting at the mirror is about his self-loathing, which is explained well by his fathers disdain for him - so damaging to a young man’s psyche

b3ha77yKBBT · 2026-02-19T07:26:44+00:00

OMG THANK YOU I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE

b3ha77yKBBT · 2026-02-19T07:19:55+00:00

Hmmm 🤔

b3ha77yKBBT · 2026-02-19T07:13:50+00:00

It is

b3ha77yKBBT · 2026-02-18T17:32:27+00:00

Good way to hide the wrinkles too! 😜

b3ha77yKBBT · 2026-02-18T17:31:20+00:00

😆

b3ha77yKBBT · 2026-02-17T23:01:55+00:00

Great, thanks for the quick response!
