Very interesting - thanks for sharing.

You should consider taking niacinamide. And if that doesn't warm you up then possibly thyroid.

Will do.

I would also avoid androsterone. Once again too young. It's too downstream

If my system is low on T, it's probably low on DHT and its metabolites too - wouldn't this be a case for at least minimal androsterone supplementation, assuming conversion to downstream androgens is impaired in a tired body?

Sure that's the case but remember your body is a system. When aren't your hormones converting? It all starts with the thyroid. And I would take pregnenolone before I ever took androsterone. Much safer

Yes you're right. If I can get thyroid working, then there'll be enough NAD to convert any pregnenolone I supplement to downstream hormones.

I hope your journey to optimal health is a quick one. I'm sure it will be as you're still very young. Test your temp/pulse upon walking upon waking up, after breakfast and before dinner. Catalog that. Weekly oysters and liver are important but I thought you consume liver already if remember correctly.
