Old one. Before scans. As I child I had extreme pain and illness from IBD on a frequent basis. To differentiate between a flare and appendicitis, my grandfather told me if I could not raise my right knee, that's a trip to the hospital.
@schober222
Society really lost its way starting in the 1980s. Regulate a natural hormone as a controlled substance. Demonize drugs that can stop cachexia and osteoporosis effectively to the point those drugs are no longer around today.
@antidoc32
The data point incriminating salt was a village in Japan where people only ate fish and rice. Low potassium and magnesium in the diet. Sodium does not automatically increase blood pressure when magnesium and potassium are sufficient. Why I prefer potatoes over rice.
Going on 30 g L Glutamine per day in addition to the T, GH, and anabolics. I need to fix my malabsorption or nothing else matters. I have spent 30+ years eating very good foods and nothing to show for it. Inability to absorb nutrients means training is counterproductive.

I go through over a lb of lard and over 4 lbs butter every month. Not fat, not diabetic, if anything a little underweight.
@AJA_Cortes
Lack of meat and dairy protein. Stunts growth. N=1 me low protein low fat growing up. 5'6" stunted growth, no muscle mass. My brother. High protein, high fat growing up. 5'8" weighs over 160 lb low BF, extremely high muscle mass.
@BrentAWilliams2
I know the answer to that and this is why fighting over who is president is irrelevant. It is the un accountable administrators. All 3 and 4 letter agencies must go.
@Babygravy9
Maybe it's time for all male members of Congress and the Senate to be on 200 mg T per week unless they test at the upper decile of the reference range.
@biohacker
I have gear eye, so I pay no attention to whatever fitness or diet program is being shilled. Respect someone far more when they can be honest about what they are on.
@GigaBasedDad
Knew that by the time I was age 12. 40 years ago. General rule, if I cannot practically make it at home, I am thinking twice about consuming it. Butter, yes. Seed oils not so much.
@HalCranmer
After the McDonald's spectacle, it was well known that he went back on a plant based or heavily plant based diet. Maybe he should have had more steaks and chops.

@zeta_globin
If I am promised to live to be a hundred, look perfect, but I am in pain regularly, and nothing I eat tastes good. I want out right here right now
@robertlufkinmd
Why I needed to tell doctors, fitness, and diet people to get out of the way. They had their chance and then some. 40 years is a long time to be failing at a job. I had to fix me. No one else could.
@ValerieAnne1970
I watched my grand uncle, who was sharp as a tack and intellectually indomitable, turn into someone that remembered no one. Nevermind unable to take care of himself. This man was always independent. What changed? A low fat, low protein diet and a prescription for statins.
@OnBoardPatriot
@KeenanPeachy
Can't any more. The statist Zero Tolerance policies prohibit that. In the past, bullies were treated to playground justice and the teachers would say ''I told you so''. Not turning it into a Supreme Court case.
Inability to absorb nutrients is also a waste of the anabolics. Not completely though. They have served to stop catabolism and the IBD. But I expect more. Not content to merely survive.
@antidoc32
Still working right now , however on TRT + I do not take BS off of other people. My sense of dignity and self worth is way more than when I was hormonally deficient. Suspect most males in my state could use 200 mg T per week at age 18. Hypogonadism hits early here.
@KeenanPeachy
If you like collectivism, repressive government, dysfunctional government, tribalism, can get along with people that settle for mediocrity and tolerate repression , Hawaii is your place. If you are already rich and don't need to work any more, Hawaii is perfect.

@DanielleFong
This is why I will never live, never mind visit a state that circumvents the 2 A rights of myself or my companions. Punching and robbing old people on the streets does not often happen in Constitutional Carry states.

@SeedOilDsrspctr
People get the equivalent of that eating manufactured food items. Chips, snacks,etc. Fries I make at home in lard don't have the same effect as fries from McDonald's
@AJA_Cortes
Decades ago, I shit canned the no salt narrative. Instead, I salt food to taste. If it starts tasting salty I know I have enough. if I take a pinch of sea salt and that does not taste salty, I know I am low. Salt intake for me needs to happen hours before.
@Outdoctrination
Funny. I was fed over 400 IU vitamin E as a child to make sure in the words of my crazy mother not turn out female. Did not work. By 13, my T and GH crashed. Now I am a human pincushion trying to repair the damage.
@CoffeeBlackMD
I understand statistics. However a number is meaningless without correlation with status. Show me a man over the age of 13 with a total T under 500 that is physically and mentally healthy.
@MarkBski
@drcateshanahan
if not that. Auto immune issues. Why is IBD, arthritis, and psoriasis no longer rare diseases. I figured out decades ago, what effect chronic consumption of seed oils would do to my IBD.
@maxlugavere
My great grandmother ate a soft boiled egg just about every morning. Lived to 100. Lived at home with her adult children. No dementia. My other relatives avoiding anything with cholesterol were in a nursing home by age 70.

@Rothmus
Kidney stones are a very humbling experience. Even more so now where the er doctors will leave you puking and in severe pain lest they indulge a possible drug seeker.
@DoctorTro
from the 80s on doctors would hand out prescriptions for CIII and CIV opiods without a second thought. Try to get a prescription for TRT, a drug that is also CIII.
@fleroy1974
Common sense. Goes against the plant based, low fat, high illness, high morbidity program. Show me a meat eater that does not eat trash between meals with a lot of health issues. Waiting.
@creekfren
@DoctorAnarchist
I have a manual labor job. Minimal to no cardio is needed. But, lifting 3-4 times per week fills gaps and prevents debilitating injury.
@antidoc32
The traps, delts and chest while having visible abs tell me all I need to know. Would think differently if they were all tested weekly in season and in the off season.
@AlprazolamSucks
In all probability, my father was low T like me. Me lifting when I was low T stands second worse in experiences to me going for a run in the sun. We were not built like normal people. Missing parts.
@AJA_Cortes
They might hate it because their recovery from it is zero. That used to be my problem. Then I addressed the cause of my lack of recovery. Now I need to tell myself not to over do it. Muscles grow outside of the weight room
@thelowcarb_rd
Mandating against physical health. It's intentional. We did not have so many sick, fat, or weak kids when it was normal to have bacon and eggs as meals .
@CoffeeBlackMD
I spent 4 years on nothing but 250 mg T . It was a good placeholder until I could figure myself out better. Did not need to chase E2 levels. No side effects.
@Delicious_Tacos
I don't care. As long as he is not a sanctimonious hypocrite about what he is doing. If he's a rules for thee but not for me person, then we will have an issue.
@AbudBakri
I mean it was pretty damned obvious I was Testosterone deficient and likely GH deficient. If a doctor had any doubt all he had to do was run the fucking tests and ask me some embarassing questions. If using his eyes did not alarm him.
@KerceWill
Put this thought into your head. Last six months of his life, I had to carry my father to the bathroom. You do not want your son or else a stranger to have to carry you to the bathroom.

@CoffeeBlackMD
Mine reminded me of Mr Magoo. Eyes shut. Alarms should have gone off when I started having digestive trouble at 7 and I did not grow much from 7-13 or from 13-17.
Happy Father's Day, dad. it will be 6 years in September when you left us. Tonight is a full body routine. Unlike you, I lift something heavier than a beer. I addressed the issues I am sure you had that made exercise nonproductive and a waste of your time.
@ZachHan25148246
I did not want to end up a withered old man needing someone to carry me to the bathroom. Started at age 48 after having to carry my father to the bathroom his last 6 months of life.
@AbudBakri
Alternate scenario: my daily life consists of constant load/stress on my body. Going on TRT + made muscle grow out of seemingly nowhere. Stopped muscle wasting.
@punishedcanada
@SeedOilDsrspctr
To be clear, I eat like an asshole. But, all of the fats consumed are butter, lard, or very small amounts of olive oil.
@BiggestComeback
I shudder at the thought. I am in a state where a lot of social engineering has been done regarding that. Plant based . Low fat. Guess how it's working? People are either sarcopenic or obese. A person with a healthy body composition is rare.
Who does not believe me when I say I will immediately block someone promoting psychedelics. People that want to go through life out of mind are losers.
@AbudBakri
Everything is working as it should. Consider it fortunate when eating real food and working out doesn't make someone crash like what happened to me
@CoffeeBlackMD
2.5 IU halted my IBD and fixed other physiological issues I have had since childhood. Will consider lowering to 1.5 IU or less once I am retired and can focus on recovery full time. GH was transformative.
@WhoIsMattGalt
@Thermobolic
Why not? it is the one thing that has made the most difference in my life. As far as a shortened life span, if I had to live another 10 years, the way I was going, it would be time for me to check out.
