Do you reckon its possible to make a DIY topical solution? In principle yes, given you get a proper vehicle substance, but in practice its efficacy depends on the internal capsule composition, especially if dut is further embedded into microcapsules. This is a bit outside my expertise though, I wou...

GoodLookingNerd you could both try to lower DHT more topically and less systemically, or try to limit estrogens conversion/binding with anti-estrogenic supplements. maybe an even higher sex drive Testosterone is the sex seeking hormone (proactively starting pursuing sex out of the blue) and Estradi...

Could this be a concern? Hey man, sorry if I didn't see your message, my life has been quite chaotic. How is it going now? So, basically because finasteride lowers DHT, your body ends up with more unused testosterone. This extra testosterone can then be converted into estradiol, therefore your body...

Range estradiol 41.4-159 pmol/L 156 Shbg 18.4-54.1nmol/L 68 Does that help? Yes, they are quite high. On their own, maybe they wouldn't be a problem, but if you're experiencing sexual symptoms (I remember you are), you gotta address them. First thing, you should get more tests to see why they are h...

@Tragedy

What do you think of having 17-beta estradiol of 156 and SHBG of 68?

I would need the range because every lab is different. I'm assuming that the first is 15,6 therefore in range but maybe the second is above average?
I need more context to comment.

In men, post menopausal women and pre-puberal young girls, the estrogen level are very low to begin with. If one uses the classical immunoassay method, the test doesn't have enough estradiol to react to and detect C-reactive protein instead, giving a fake value because it will be measuring something...

Me myself I would measure at least T, DHT and E2 sensitive. For 2 reasons: to have a baseline to compare for the future and to check if T/E2 ratio is alright. Lowering DHT increments T as a consequence (because T is not converted anymore). High spike in T might crash E2. I'll copy-paste you somethin...

Oops, boomer moment. Then my reply only applies to the 2 preview pics. Nonetheless after seeing the others, there isn't anything that makes me drastically change opinion. For me his masculine energy is wasted in this pictures. A6 is nice and the only one standing out for me. You also need to wear so...

With these 2 pics in the western world you are not going anywhere. The first looks terrible. The second looks terrible but it's a bit balanced by the fact that you have good pose, killer instinct face and greek god jawline and neck. I would wait a day more, have a fresh haircut and take some good pi...

I was about to reply that you are undoubtedly above average in look, physique and style but in these pictures you have an androgynous young kid vibe, like justin bieber. Not JB nowdays but him in 2010s. A style that makes 12yo girls blush (dunno about nowdays girls but definitely so in 2010s. My sis...

I agree on the fact that this is an interesting discussion. My doubt is: what are you trying to accomplish here? To just fake some cool pic on tinder? To find a new hobby to be passionate about? target shooting (turns off left leaning women) I don't think it is necessary a bad thing, depending if yo...

There is something I think it's really important to consider about diet and yet very rarely people talk about it: the personal situation and the goal. As a general rule we all agree that the more evolutionistically natural, the better. But one needs to consider the person. For example keto is not na...

Vitamin C is super cheap in powder form and it is necessary for collagen therefore contrasting ageing. Also humans are almost the only animals who cannot produce it themselves and need to eat lotta from savanah fruits that do not exist anymore nowadays.

>1g/day is non negotiable for me.

Holy mother of God @Tragedy I am so sorry to hear about your experience!!!! That truly is eye-watering mate I didn't use tretinoin cream for a while, mostly out of laziness but now I will need to think carefully about picking up that tube again Thank you man! I don't know your exact problem and if ...

GoodLookingNerd I didn't know this guy. I watched the first 10 min of his video "The dangers of finasteride" and I lost count of the factually wrong things he states. I am not sure what's his background. I am not a big fan of having a title to back up one's claims but it is undeniable that it is di...
