Replacing Hormones to Optimal Levels
I’ve been experimenting with exogenous testosterone for over 15 years. At almost 73 I have been able to build and keep muscle. I eat a diet high in protein, lower in carbs and healthy fats. I take digestive enzymes, and a cupboard full of supplements for anti-aging and to lower inflammation. I believe we need to challenge our bodies to move and to use resistance training to keep muscle as we add years. This helps with keeping good bone density and building a healthy vascular system to help sustain new muscle tissue. The body is an amazing machine if we challenge it to perform and give it the nutrition to support that effort.

Sharon Smith - Impressive results! Thanks for sharing your experience with exogenous testosterone.
I have a few questions - if you don't mind me asking.
1) Regarding the testosterone - how do you take it (injection/patch) and what's your weekly dose?
2) Were you able to find a doctor to work with for the testosterone, or was it a case of learning to manage yourself?
3) What were your ferritin levels last time you got bloods?-
Sharon Smith - Thanks for the reply Sharon!
Ah, cheeky, so not only are you on performance enhancers with the testosterone, but you've also got the "natural blood doping" going on with the high altitude induced hemocrit levels. I say that tongue in cheek. I'm really impressed with your results.That's great regarding the low ferritin. Yes, precisely, high hemoglobin won't directly correlate with high ferritin. Ferritin is generally where the body stores excess iron, and it sounds like you haven't got excess. Which is good, as that can age you quicker.

Sharon Smith Have you used any gh during your experimentation?
