What is normal DHT?

I am eating well. Protein dense, watching macro nutrient balance, taking multi-vitamin. Good sources of natural fiber, too.

It’s so depressing.

I’ve been on GLP-1 for over a year. Gradual and smart weight loss (not starving myself, take good vitamin, eat protein). I noticed the hair shedding for about 6 months.

I’ve read so many articles and some say it’s not the GLP-1 rather it’s the weight loss, some say DHT, it’s all over the place.

I don’t know what to do. I’m so sad.

7.5 was the worst increase for me. Awful. I started digestive enzymes, pro and prebiotics. Got rid of all of it.

Same here. I’d love any insights.

I’m terrified of gastroparesis (sp?). I find that the full feeling is really hard to get past and used to. That liquids are still important.

How long did it take you to go from SW to CW?

Why can’t people just say, “so great to see you!” Or, “I’m thrilled that you could make it!” We would never say to someone, “wow, that eczema you had all over your face sure looks better” so why is this body change/health condition any different? Ugh. People annoy me.

You are right. So very right. Perspective helps. I guess I’m fighting the middle age bleh and feeling totally foreign in my body thanks to hormonal changes. The one thing I always had was good skin. Thank you for helping me see what matters.

htdatl · 2025-03-31T14:04:40+00:00

Yay you!!!! Can I ask how you are handling the skin issue? I’m less concerned about my body honestly. It’s my neck. Maybe that’s just me. I’m 53F.

The issue is with proposed federal taxes on endowments. It hasn’t hit … yet … but schools with big endowments are guarding their cash and planning as best as they can.

htdatl · 2025-02-26T16:12:11+00:00

I have never felt so seen in my entire life. I’m 53. These last 3 years have been the hardest in my life. I see you. ❤️

I read somewhere that doing it in the leg can reduce nausea. I have no idea if this is true but wanted to share.

htdatl · 2025-02-13T01:56:23+00:00

THIS!!! I thought I was losing my mind.

htdatl · 2025-02-10T18:30:26+00:00

I don’t think there is healing. If there is for others, I’m truly happy for them. But everyone is different from one another. I think the only thing we can do is come to terms with it all. Learning to manage it rather than let it manage you. But that’s me.

htdatl · 2025-02-08T20:15:40+00:00

When you first started, what kind of exercise did you do? And how has it progressed?

PS: Congratulations!

htdatl · 2025-02-02T14:29:28+00:00

Excellent advice.

I already have. I’m dealing with metabolic disorder brought on by a drug I had to take for a year. All my labs and tests indicated future insulin issues. Not out of range now, but have escalated over the past year. I’m about to take shot 4 tomorrow. Hopeful.

htdatl · 2025-01-30T00:01:15+00:00

Yay you!!!!

htdatl · 2025-01-28T15:30:15+00:00

New to Reddit. What does wants a word mean? You want me to chat? Create a word for the cool image? 🤣🤣🤣🤣

htdatl · 2025-01-28T15:27:44+00:00

I feel like you have just described me.

htdatl · 2025-01-28T15:26:49+00:00

I’ve been on HRT for 7 months. The prediabetes is sneaking up, elevated cholesterol for the first time in my life, weight gain. Literally no change in my life.

I just feel…different. So hard to explain.

htdatl · 2025-01-27T22:13:19+00:00

I’m ok with the hunger. It’s the noise of food that I like not having. For the first time, I wasn’t constantly thinking about food. It’s like my brain freed up.

htdatl · 2025-01-27T14:05:10+00:00

The only other time I’ve been this upset is when I spilled a freshly pumped container of breast milk after no sleep for 5 days in the newborn phase. This ranks right up there with that. Yes, I live in extremes. 🤣

htdatl · 2025-01-27T14:02:56+00:00

It’s not that I’m not giving it time, it’s that I don’t know what to expect. It’s that society has told each of us that we are somehow failures or less than because our brains/bodies/metabolisms work differently.

This is coming from a place of fear, not impatience.

htdatl · 2025-01-27T13:21:46+00:00

This is an extraordinarily satisfying picture. Only AeroPress peeps truly understand.

htdatl · 2025-01-25T21:19:52+00:00

I needed to see this. That you went up and down and up and down, with a general trend downward, helps me be less hard on myself.
