"The free hormone hypothesis (view of SHBG as an inactivator/unidirectional sequestration mechanism) is mechanistically incomplete and inconsistent with the current literature; despite being endlessly repeated both by online influencers and TRT clinic MDs. SHBGs role has become much more clearly nuanced than just inactivating testosterone/sex hormones. It moreso acts as a reserve and transport of sex hormones to target tissues (this is why its found at the highest levels in the testes to then transport newly synthesized testosterone to target tissues). As well as testosterone/sex hormones"

"Keep nebivolol lower particularly for hypertension that dose is not needed and it loses its B1 selectivity (becomes much more like any other BB and losing a lot of its unique advantages/lack of relevant b2 antagonism at lower doses). More broadly BB may not be needed at all depending on context and the cause/underlying pathology driving the hypertension. If elevated BP isnt being driven by adrenergic tone efficacy is often poor unless pushed to a dose where side effect burden becomes significant.

If defining it in terms of subjective positive effects (enjoying food/sex/music/overall sensory pleasures more mild euphoria relaxation and the other typical positive effects of THC/cannabis) that most people use it for in the context of relaxing after work/rest day/social uses; then the number is far higher and closer to probably 80% of regular THC users.

"GCGR agonism increases cardiac cAMP; the same downstream signaling cascade that B1 adrenergic receptors mediate in cardiac tissue. In fact IV glucagon has actuslly been used as a treatment for beta blocker overdose because its able to increase HR and contractility independently of b-adrenergic agonism/sympathetic tone. This means that an increase in RHR should be expected when using Reta (and monitored). In most individuals this increase is adaptive/not pathological and does not seem to be associated with arrthymia/markers of cardiac stress in otherwise healthy hearts. The cases where there"

"So practically what does this mean Well a few things (quite a lot of things/contradictions to a lot of the garbage info/instructions Ive seen being given out around this compound). Firstly you do NOT need to take a high dose (30+ mg) zinc supplement because you are using GHK-Cu to balance out the Cu.

"The latter is why in the majority of people exogenous GH still feels as though it produces better or more restorative sleep (and often with less total time in bed) despite not actually producing deeper sleep/higher delta wave power on EEG. The lack of microarousals/increase in sleep phase stability leads to improved restorative efficiency per hour sleeping and generally leads to subjectively better/more restorative sleep. @PGC1a_RB Truly few Also everyone knows Im a fan of exogenous GH and think that the GHRH analogs/GHRPs are a complete waste for the majority of people and use cases However"

"Its not really that the body is predisposed to store fat. In fact there is no more anabolic state where you will see greater ratio of muscle to fat gained in a surplus than when first reversing from sub 10% BF.

"Adipocyte insulin sensitivity increases at low body fat/after a prolonged deficit too yes. But you are conflating this with fat anabolism being preferred over muscle which is an overreach mechanistically and also is not what actually occurs in practice with a properly controlled rebound/surplus. Skeletal muscle insulin sensitivity is also very high in this state and combined with training stimulus/contraction driven glucose disposal/GLUT4 translocation makes this the dominant glucose sink and leads to preferential partitioning into skeletal muscle which is exactly whats seen in practice"

"For any clients new clients or anyone else whos tried to get ahold of me on here or elsewhere in the last day or [--] I just wanted to let everyone know unfortunately I have developed some pretty severe complications from my recent surgery and am currently in the hospital being treated for sepsis after having a seizure for the first time the other night and then almost another in the hospital today. As soon as this gets figured out and I am well and able to think clearly again I will get back but to you. Appreciate everyone understanding thanks"

"Cutting hack: 400g Fage 0% Greek yogurt (or any zero fat Greek yogurt) 20g honey 150g mixed berries 10g whipped cream This gives you about 43g of protein and about 34g of carbs with [---] calories including the whipped cream and tastes like a dessert(if you want more carbs you can just use more honey)"

"My favorite cutting cheat meal (that you can have everyday while hitting your macros and getting lots of micronutrients as well): Chicken fajitas sautd together with onions and peppers (bell and chili peppers if you like heat just bell if not) 150g chicken breast (cooked weight) 46g protein/260kcal- you can obviously adjust this accordingly to your needs/meal plan. Chicken is not as nutrient dense as red meat but is much lower in calories per gram of protein which is what we need in a cut and still is an excellent source of b vitamins especially niacin as well as selenium. [--] red bell pepper"

"100% most ppl dont get it early enough to be able to really make a difference/set their lives and priorities up properly and just end up kind of falling into a life of eventual poor health. In some ways Im lucky that I experienced so many health issues so early (throughout my childhood with severe asthma regular severe infections/pneumonia Crohns disease TBI then severe anxiety and addiction as a teenager all culminating in spending the first 5yrs of my adult life with a terminal congestive heart failure diagnosis) because I realized early in a way very very few ppl do that without health you"

"Peaters are giving bodybuilding advice now lol. In case it wasnt clear this is pure nonsense. There are zero credible sources that Mike Mentzer built his physique eating less than 100g of protein a day. If you believe this you have zero understanding of nutrition and much less of bodybuilding. In Mikes own Heavy Duty books he repeats many times his belief in a moderate protein diet with protein as 25% of his calories (also important to note that these books were written after Mentzer was already a top level IFBB) At this later point in his career Mentzer began to question many of the standard"

"Enclomiphene is a Scam. Enclomiphene is being hyped recently as a safer or more natural alternative to TRT. In reality Its in every way an inferior option with worse efficacy unpredictable effects/response and serious safety concerns. Heres the sales pitch: Raises testosterone naturally No injections Lower risk than TRT But heres what they dont tell you: Unreliable & inconsistent T levels fluctuate because of LH pulsatility. No stable androgens and no ability to accurately predict or control/dial in serum levels (unlike TRT) Significantly higher rates of aromatization Frequent reports of mood"

"40-60 if no symptoms are present and test is 1000ng/dl is not anything to worry about and pretty normal. 100+ needs to be controlled/is not safe longterm IMO. Regardless of whether you feel sides that level of estradiol still is having physiological effects (increased risk of thrombotic event inflammation/autoimmune risk interference with AR mediated gene transcription/competition for coactivators etc.) Have had a few clients lately reach out concerned about elevated E2 on their labs. We are talking between 40-60. I've seen mine as high as [---] when on TRT plus HCG with no sides and felt"

"For someone whos active/a bodybuilder (ie. doing daily cardio and training 4-6 days a week assuming st least above average muscle mass) I use the general rule of [--] liter of water per 25lbs of BW. With so many ppl when Ive initially told them that act they like that amount of water/electrolytes etc. is some massive/impossible amount. Most people both gen pop and in the gym are walking around massively under hydrated everyday (also dehydration and Mg deficiency are behind prob 70% of headaches at least amazing the number of people who suffer from chronic headaches where Ive seen this and maybe"

"Social media is a case study of Dunning-Kruger at scale. Way too many people talking/posting/teaching when they should be learning/understanding/listening. This unfortunately makes it difficult for those who are genuinely trying to learn since for the avg layperson/person without a background in whatever area it is nearly impossible to differentiate/know who to listen to with so much noise/contradictory info when one person has spent a decade plus studying a subject and another speaking just as (often more hence Dunning-Kruger) confidently has watched a couple YouTube videos on the subject"

"Almost everyone on androgens should be running HCG from the start. Libido is almost universally improved because it depends a great deal on intratesticular testosterone levels which on TRT are actually lower than most natty guys (for obvious reasons). Also just generally feel better/better mood because there are also LH receptors in the brain that regulate dopaminergic function reduce neuroinflammation and have an impact on local neurosteroidogenesis (allopregnanolone/3a-diol etc). TRT Update: I started HCG last week with approval and script from my doc. 300iu on Tu/Th. Not sure what the"

"Ive probably explained this over [---] times to different clients over the years so its probably time I made a post on it. ALT and AST (liver enzymes): What they really mean and why elevated numbers dont always mean liver damage. This is one of the most common lab results that gets misinterpreted (including by most Drs/PCPs). Heres what most people including those Drs get wrong: What are AST/ALT These are intracellular enzymes that are not normally meant to be freely circulating in the blood in any significant amount. Of course as pretty much everyone knows (and as far as they look into the"

"Happy to announce I successfully completed my first week back in the gym/training finally since the [--] herniated discs (one complete sequestration the other/less severe a protrusion). Still well ahead of the prognosis from my Drs (3-6 months out of gym). Feel significantly better in almost every aspect particularly mood already (my second session back I left the gym litterally euphoric/feeling high vs the baseline with no training the last couple months). Insane/amazing to me that most people go their entire lives feeling like that/without all the benefits that come from training even beyond"
