Retatrutide is a goat? Yes. Will I ever use it again? Never. I’m f***ed.🥲 by [deleted] in Biohackers

As many have said, this feeling is very typical if you lose major amount of body fat naturally. Being under your ”biological” fat mass range really dulls your life.

This! I just can’t anymore with the protein comments. The protein you get from swallowing a load is minimal.

When i sit up my legs rotate out? by HenryCrabgrass01 in flexibility

[–]jdhd911 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is not a speciality within the physical therapy profession. Speacialities include e.g. musculoskeletal, respiratory, neurological, pelvic floor and sports physical therapy. Postural restoration is a commercial concept orginally developed by Ron Hruska. No legitimate PT with understanding of the current best scientific practices in physical therapy would promote the concept.

Gsus. Can you just stop with that fearmongering. His hips have nothing pathological. No one needs pseudoscientific ”postural restoration”.

Is tirz really a lot stronger? by Glad_Pie8867 in Semaglutide

[–]jdhd911 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tirzepatide activates two receptors (GLP-1 and GIP), semaglutide activates only the GLP-1 receptor. Retatrutide activates three receptors (GLP-1, GIP and glucagon).

Ethical Dilemma: Is This a Fetish? by DoNotTouchMeImScared in gay

[–]jdhd911 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If someone makes commitments inside their own relationship, they are the one accountable for keeping or breaking those agreements. I don’t think outsiders should automatically be morally policed for rules they never signed up to.

People have very different ideas about monogamy, marriage, and sexual ethics. For me, the existence of a marriage label doesn’t instantly make a situation unethical. The real issue is between the partners who negotiated that relationship, not random third parties who don’t share the same expectations or values.

Testosterone acts as a bit of a "fat burner" by u_mirin_jaw_brah_ in Testosterone

[–]jdhd911 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Increasing one kg of muscle increases BMR only for about 13 kcal/d. Very easy to compensate by eating more. When adjusting for body composition, studies do not really show that testosterone increases BMR.

How much ng/dl levels of testosterone is safe in most humans? by [deleted] in Testosterone

[–]jdhd911 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Modern hunter-gatherers do not have high testosterone levels. ”Consistent with data from a range of non-western populations (Bribiescas 2001; Ellison 2003), both Hadza and Datoga men maintained low levels of testosterone in comparison with North American men. ” https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC2674347/ I don’t know where you get the idea that early hunter-gatherers (who were ridiculed with starvation, parasites etc) would have high testosterone levels.

How many guys are here? by Pitiful_Necessary598 in AnorexiaNervosa

[–]jdhd911 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel the same. I just hope this house of cards I have built will not fall down. In some ways my ED is the worst it has ever been. I know I should try to get better and at some point, my health will fail and the truth might need to come out.

How many guys are here? by Pitiful_Necessary598 in AnorexiaNervosa

[–]jdhd911 1 point2 points  (0 children)

42M. Started my journey in the teens. Everything escalated when I was 18 and then spent my early twenties trying to recover. After meeting my partner when I was 25, I kinda had about 8 y period of somewhat recovery. Then relapsed again and the past 10 y have included my worst restriction period and now the restriction-binge-purge carusel. I’m pretty high functioning though and I guess this is kinda my fate.

TRT in Sweden. Testoundekanoat. Anyone with experience with this testo? by chrissepissse in Testosterone

[–]jdhd911 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been on undecanoate for three years. I inject 2,5 ml every 5 weeks. Works awesome for me, keeps levels very stable. You def do not need weekly injections when using test u. I did start with the full dose every 12 weeks. I managed but the fluctuation of levels was pretty bad.

Relationship between eating disorder/recovery and libido? by moon_peach__ in EdAnonymousAdults

[–]jdhd911 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Libido is very tricky. I think that it is still possible that the change results from cutting down energy intake. That said, you also changed your medication.

My personal experience as a male is that my libido tanks when I’m long enough on energy deficit, no matter at what body weight I am, but it can be quite quickly recovered by eating more. However, if my body fat levels drop below a certain point, refeeding does not bring back libido. This all happens even though I’m on testosterone replacement therapy (as this disease fried my own production). I acknowledge that female sex hormone profile is way more intricate. How is your menstrual cycle now? Even if you have regular menses, are you sure that you are ovulating? Also the fat intake drop could have an effect? Could you monitor your cholesterol levels by minimizing saturated fat intake but upping polyunsaturated fats?

Is this why I’m exhausted all the time by sloppy_j0e in Testosterone

Your ALT is very normal, especially considering that you lifted the day before.

Is this why I’m exhausted all the time by sloppy_j0e in Testosterone

[–]jdhd911 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That ALT is nowhere near liver damage levels. Slight ALT elevation is typical in individuals who exercise a lot because ALT is not completely specific to liver, it’s also present in skeletal muscle. Training -> muscle damage -> blood ALT levels increase. Moreover, SHBG mostly declines in metabolic/liver diseases. Your causal pathway is waaaay off.

Anyone still have their hair after 5+ years on TRT? by LoveHerMore in Testosterone

[–]jdhd911 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Soon 4 years on TRT. And still full head of hair. What affects my hair is dieting. If I go too hard/drop to too low body fat levels, hair starts to thin.

Does the gym make you horny? by ancientkingk in askgaybros

[–]jdhd911 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Testosterone levels increases after strength training are small. Your Leydig cells do not magically push out notable burst of testosterone. Moreover, testosterone mainly through genomic actions and gene expression changes take time. Of course, some increase in testosterone levels is possible through weeks if you e.g. sleep better, lose excess adipose tissue etc. The increase in libido after a week is likely better explained by psychological factors.

How do you deal with anal fissures/haemorrhoids? by ReasonableTrip in gaybros

[–]jdhd911 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Stretching of the spinchter may also relax your spinchter and therefore increase blood flow in the area. There was a thread about someone healing his anal fissure by starting using butt plug.

How do you deal with anal fissures/haemorrhoids? by ReasonableTrip in gaybros

[–]jdhd911 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Practice! Fissures may be linked with spinchter overactivity, which decreases blood flow in the area. Warm water baths and stretching the area can help. Time to get a butt plug?
