@BowTiedUM It had libido and pleasure suppressive effects for me too. Even at 1 or 2 mg sublingual from IdeaLabs. It'll help you sleep though. For me it's not worth it.
High DHT predicts reduced risk for stroke
It doesn't just make you stronger, leaner, calmer, more driven, more attractive, and better at visual spatial reasoning
@Patterdude@AbudBakri Also remove Androstenediol, Androstanediol, Androstenedione, Androstanedione and Epiandrosterone.
These are direct metabolites of Testosterone and DHT that have been used in medicine.
They were banned during the pro-hormone era simply because they metabolize into T and DHT.
California is ready to make testosterone and DHT no longer controlled substances once the federal rules changes
@CAgovernor just needs to sign the bill
Did you know L-carnitine can block thyroid hormone from entering your cells?
Acts as a natural peripheral antagonist but many people dont know
2-4 grams of L-carnitine daily effectively reversed hyperthyroidism symptoms
Use that info as you wish
Ray Peat on honey vs white sugar for wound healing and regeneration:
“In Africa when there were no antibiotics available and they had to do chest surgery, they simply filled the hole with massive amounts of white sugar. They discovered that it not only didn’t get infected, but the person recovered with fewer scars than would have happened if they had used antibiotics.”
“[honey] has antiseptic ingredients that white sugar doesn’t have, and it has fructose which promotes actual healing instead of scar formation.”
(From KMUD “Cellular Repair” 15-06-12)
Photo below shows antibiotic resistant diabetic wound treated with honey. Compared with healing wounds, diabetic wounds have significantly lower local concentrations of glucose. As healing stops, glucose near the wound becomes virtually undetectable.
Some people get crazy results with thyroid hormone (T3)

@EagleTwoRomeo I've heard that it is. I think it was at least mildly inhibitory for me. I don't have labs from when I was using it though.
I was eating 3300 kcals daily during that phase and weight stable.
@EagleTwoRomeo@MarshallsFolly Could be.
Based on how long I get effects from, say androsterone, I also seem to have slow CYP3A4, feeling too much GABA activation (fog and sedation) from more than 2mg SID. Once I added TyroMix, I had to reduce andro dose from likely improved endogenous neurosteroid output.
@EagleTwoRomeo@MarshallsFolly Re: blood sugar. For me it didn’t subjectively feel like my usual low-BG/reactive-hypoglycemia state — no obvious hunger, nausea, weakness, or quick improvement with carbs. Fasting glucose may have actually been higher on daily Aspirin IIRC , but I’d need to verify my journals.
