Quick update: LH and FSH labs came in.

FSH seems normal at 7.7mIU/mL (range is 1.5–12.4)

LH is quite high at 9.0mIU/mL (range is 1.7–8.6)

Current hypothesis is that the microlithiasis is a result of atrophy and not a cause (ruling out calcium regulation issue unless PTH/calcitriol labs come back abnormal).

I also think that the high LH indicates primary hypogonadism rather than secondary.

Still in the dark about a cause, however. The fact that it's only one testicle seems very bizarre. Going to get in with a good urologist to see if they can tell me more. I'll also ask the radiology lab for the ultrasound images and post them here.

In the meantime—any pointers on lowering LH are welcome. I've read that high levels in the blood cause aromatization so will try to ameliorate that.

@Crypt-Keeper I agree with your point in why not spread it out in the day?

Im not a proponent for IF at all.

I think the MSM or even the guy himself thinks THAT’S why he is remaining lean with mass.
That it is the IF-
And I don’t agree with that at all

What’s good
Is that he’s balanced macros
So that is a huge benefit

@DavidPS Fabulous!! Great interview. Thank you for posting and the timestamps!

Calcium and riboflavin are two chemicals known to reduce blood pressure, given salt intake is sufficient.

My magnesium intake is fine for the situation. I do regular bicarb and mag salt baths. The sleep is restorative sleep, it's not like a fatigue.

Why are you taking these in those higher doses and what have the effects been? If its just making you stressed more, you should lower or stop taking them for a while.

I am thinking that it is your skin microbiome and not your gut microbiome. Alcohol works instantly. I use it in a spray bottle and spray it a couple times on each side and then rub my arms around a bit. I use the highest % ethanol that I can get at the store.

@Shar_to_the_dae just 1-2 drops of tyronene 8-16mcg in water and sip it throughout day

@Cearrson This is anecdotal to my experiences, so no sources. But I pay closer attention to the consistency of my movements than the frequency. Somewhere between 2 or 3 seems to be the consensus. 7 is a lot, and it would be interesting to know if it's watery like diarrhea or well formed.

The best bowl movements in my opinion are the ones that are well formed but not hard or dense. The consistency I'm looking for is that of fresh soft serve ice cream right out of the nozzle.

@JulofEnoch you're welcome!

@the-MOUSE yeah ive been manifesting for a long time it works, can you link me ghe placebo studies

@the-MOUSE yeah

@questforhealth said in I am literally part Neanderthal - how can I live a good life???:

OR all this is bs and used to cover up actual causes of disease??

That or a rabbit hole not worth pursuing.

And look on the bright side, at least chances are you don't have Flores man genes 🦍

@PeaterParrot

I personally have not seen convincing evidence that aspirin would delay a shoulder injury repair. Aspirin has been shown to protect against excessive inflammation and scar formation in tendon repair.
