No need to apologize I really value detailed and authentic conversation.

That’s a brutal situation with your Crohn’s and the downstream effects. I’ve noticed a lot of positive changes from cutting out grains, fruit / veg / fiber too. I wish you all the best with that situation.

I see now. I’ve never known anyone who was on TRT personally but I’ve heard people talk about it on YouTube where they didn’t really go into the trade offs of being on it as much as glorified it. I’ve always been a hard gainer so TRT has appeal. But at the same time I have always been mentally and physically healthy and so I didn’t want to disrupt the natural balance that I had going on.

Had one friend when I was younger who was on test and probably some on other stuff and it screwed him up badly mentally. So I was cautious about doing anything.

Coincidentally I am getting my bloodwork done today. I’ve been on strict carnivore for over a year now and want to get baselines. Doc is checking total test too so will know more after I get the results, I’ll report back.
