Hello Community, Hope all is well. I am sharing my full bloodwork in the hopes that it inspires others to do the same, get recommendations from the community on what I need to improve and how, and learn how supplements, peptides, sarms, etc… affect us. This is the panel I got and paid for. I’m sure there are some markers that weren't tested and I will try my best to get them tested next time. My goal is to get tested again in the next 8-12 weeks after “working” on what I need to work on. I did a washout for 3-4 weeks, with no peptides, test boosters, and no sarms. I only took (which is still a lot) the things I consider everyday essential and I don’t see a need to stop taking them. Unless the community can convince me they are worthless, not needed, or a waste of money. I am not stubborn and open to all suggestions. The only real red flag is lp(a) so I am planning on taking 10mg of ezetimibe. I heard of testosterone helping to lower lp(a). Morning supps: Daily 250mg tudca 1 gram of vitamin c 1 gram of taurine 600mg of NAC Multivitamin Astragalus root extract 500mg Zinc gluconate 30mg Horny goat weed 1gram (might stop after bottle ends though) Morning Spps: EOD 81mg of aspirin (might stop for awhile) 500 mg of valacyclovir Preworkout: 6 grams of l citrulline 5 grams of glycerol monostearate (65%) 2.5 grams fo betaine anhydrous 7.5 grams of creatine 1 gram of ALCAR 2-3 grams of my own electrolyte mix Sleep + Night Time Stack: Sleep: 5-10mg of melatonin (5x/week) 600 mg ashwagandha ksm-66 (3x/week) 5 mg l-thp (new edition, but it's going to be part of my daily stack) 50 mg trazodone (2-3x/week max) for when i get into the weeks of 5 hours or less sleeping 5 mg seltorexant (2-3x/week max) same reason as trazodone. I will either take this or trazodone, not both. Night stack: 5mg rosuvastatin (4-6x/ week) 5mg tadalafil (5-6x/week) I’ve always had trouble with my sleep and I have sleep apnea (I use cpap) I work out 5 days a week. Push, pull, legs, and cardio (walking or boxing for 10-20 minutes 3-4 times a week)

I sat down with scientist David Kingsley to go through his actual blood work from his latest self experiment. His total testosterone increased from 749 to 960, while free testosterone also climbed significantly and SHBG barely changed. But the numbers are only part of it. We also talked about how he felt, energy in the gym, mood, sex drive, fertility markers, estradiol, IGF 1, and why tracking blood work matters when you experiment with your hormones. This is not a transformation based on somebody guessing how they feel. We actually have the before and after labs.

I Looked at the Research on Cardio and Cholesterol I’ve been running my own blood work for years, and one thing I kept noticing is that exercise and cholesterol are not as simple as people make them sound. Most people are told to do cardio because it will lower their LDL. But when you actually look at the trials, cardio barely moves LDL compared with what most people expect. What it does seem to affect more is triglycerides. And that matters. I went through the research on cardio, walking, hard training, lifting, fasted cardio, diet, genetics, ApoB, and even some of the compounds people call exercise mimetics. A few things stood out to me. Walking did surprisingly well for triglycerides in one trial. Harder cardio seemed more useful for HDL and fitness. Weightlifting appeared to do more for LDL than cardio alone. And exercise still clearly helps cardiovascular health even when the cholesterol numbers barely move, because it affects blood pressure, insulin sensitivity, vascular function, and the heart itself. That is the part people miss. You can exercise for months, see almost no change in LDL, and still be doing something very valuable for your cardiovascular health. I also get into why your workout timing can temporarily change your triglyceride test, why genetics can completely change how you respond, and why ApoB may matter more than the cholesterol numbers most people focus on. Full breakdown: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NoZHDBufIWY Question for the community: If your LDL barely changed but your fitness, blood pressure, insulin sensitivity, and triglycerides improved, would you still consider your cardio program successful? I would.

Most people assume TRT is the only way to optimize testosterone. In this short clip, Connor explains why he preferred enclomiphene, highlighting the flexibility it gave him while still helping him reach the testosterone levels he was aiming for. It's a perspective that gets people talking because everyone has different priorities. 📺 https://youtube.com/shorts/M0REIbHXaGM Question: If your goal was optimizing testosterone, would you choose Enclomiphene or TRT, and what would be the deciding factor for you?
