Good episode for anyone dealing with HRT and still having symptoms.

Goes over adrenal fatigue, magnesium vit D3, fat storage, cortisol, etc lots of good info from Charles Poliquin. Well worth the info, even if you have to listen to Carl interrupt the expert haha. I've been doing a lot of research lately on these things, and almost feel like I might have been able to avoid TRT with some of the info, I'm looking more into Adrenal Fatigue thanks to Gdevine's suggestion, and realizing how important it is to look at all these other issues from adrenals to testosterone to thryoid to the whole picture, because even with TRT, without getting everything in line you won't feel as good as you would expect and always wonder why things aren't working.

It's on super human radio number 1052.

Here's the link I believe... http://***************.com/shr-1052-...bborn-fat.html

And as for the bolded part... I agree with that for myself. To be quite frank, I think I will try to come off of TRT within the next year and see what I can do without it. For guys under 35, I think it's totally worth pursuing IF you seem to have no definitive problem that would absolutely prevent you from achieving reasonable hormone levels. If you're over 40, however, I figure its probably worth it IMO.

I'm debating doing similar next year to see what happens, once I get more of this figured out I would like to see how I do and at least do some experimenting. my doc will give me the cortisol saliva take home kit any time I want, but I rarely go in to town soon enough, i might see if I can just mail it in. It's funny what they say about getting up in the morning. I have mornings like today where I get up at 3 am, and it's crucial that i get moving and get the things done I need to, regular days are 5 am, but I set three alarm times to make sure I get up, and usually snooze the first two, and sometimes even the third, would be awesome to have one alarm go off and get up, but in the morning I am incoherent and don't know what is going on, almost need an alarm that tells me what I'm supposed to be doing. I lost a job years ago, an unimportant one because I slept through my alarm a couple times, but I just figured that morning issue was fairly normal, and it might not indicate a problem.
