Talking about basics like total & free testosterone, SHBG, estradiol etc

Very curious cause there seems to be a lack of awareness among ppl around me irl & I find it p fukin odd. I experiment with steroidals sometimes & its insane how hormonal fluctuations impact everything in my life. Literally my entire perception of s*** changes based on the hormonal state

never have

examples pls

Why would you

we're not all experimenting with steroids @op why would we

Because 90% of ppl today are exposed or put themselves in a s***ty dietary intake that fuks up their hormonal homeostasis

Things like anxiety, depression, lethargy are all mediated by your hormones duh

For example when u wake up in the morning & feel a rush of cortisol like a mini anxiety attack. That’s an indicator that you might be suffering from free test deficiency cause it 5-alpha-reduces to DHT which has a significant impact on mood regulation

If you find yourself being impulsive or irritated by small s*** it can also be an androgenic:estrogenic imbalance

I mean the effects are p noticeable so ppl not doing it even once just to benchmark themselves is odd af

so what happens once you get them checked do they prescribe you pills or what

I mean it really depends

You have ppl out here complaining about depression & anxiety & taking SSRIs only to find out their estradoil is tanked or too high or something else is wrong with their hormones

For most ppl in their 20s lifestyle changes should be sufficient. But some ppl really require medical intervention whether it is TRT or something

Maybe you shouldnt be too pressed about it rn but it’s something to be aware of cause hormonal imbalances one of the earliest repercussions of aging. & its not something you feel in like your 50s. Indigenous test levels start dropping as early as 25. Some of you are genetically low T & you don’t even know it, you might find yourself in an unfavorable position p soon

huh

I check my hormones everytime i look in the mirror cuz i be tryin to f*** myself frfr 💯💯💯💯

Where do you go to get your hormones checked?

OP low key trynna find a estrogen plug

As long as my d*** hard we okay

Any hospital with an endocrinology department or a TRT center

Usually p cheap or covered by insurance outside the US of A

How much does that s*** cost to get checked? After the copay

tell me more, interested, who do u speak to ?

It’s like going to a dentist for a check up

U go see an endocrinologist & tell him you wanna get a hormonal profile to see where u stand.

Most young men should be fine but there are exceptions. It can also help some ppl understand why its Difficult for them to lose weight or build muscle, if they got acne acting up, if your s***drive is messed up. Those are all things mediated by your level of androgenicity.

There’s a bunch of s*** but it’s p much ignored unless your part of the body building community or you got some s***drive issues, which are really just surface level problems.

EDIT:: I’m not saying anybody HAS to do this. But if you’re a person committed to a healthy lifestyle or you do s*** like fasting or nofap or whatever, then it’s only right to have a compass on your HPTA

@OP you'@
