I Replace All My Hormones. Here Is What I Learned

[thingsvarious]

Just got my blood results back (after weaning off GH and HC around 3 months ago). IGF-1 slightly high and ACTH and cortisol at the middle of the reference range. So these 2 axes have recovered perfectly after 2 years of replacing them -in fact, they are now higher compared to where they were before.

HC = cortisol I assume?
Or chorionic gonadotropin?

Man this is just so out there. I mean, I'm using some progesterone and some other stuff but this is on a whole nother level.

You might be what I think humanity will inevitably move towards; self regulating our physiology through various things.

Are you concerned at all it might backfire on you one day and you start to fall apart?
(Though I think if you manage for another 20 years the tech might be so advanced you could stay alive for another century).

Why is HC so dangerous/cumbersome?

Sorry, somehow forgot to answer your question. Yes HC = cortisol.

Now I have been off all the hormones for some time (the last I stopped was thyroid). LH and TSH are normal again, IGF-1 slightly elevated and cortisol at the 60th percentile. So, whatever the cause, it seems that I have more than recovered from 2 years of complete hormone replacement. Though, I used a special protocol to wean off involving some neuropharmaceuticals to kickstart things again.

You might be right about surviving for some time in order to potentially live for much, much longer

I also agree with the humanity moving towards a state, in which we can top-down regulate bottom-up processes

I would love to hear about the the neuropharmaceuticals and your thoughts process as you were titrating off. Thanks!

Hello,

at first, I was using small doses of reboxetine to kickstart things, which I switched over to bupropion. They were used both causally as well as for symptom relief. Furthermore, for HPA-recovery I used a special protocol targeted to HPA-health (blue light, some supps). I also experimented with semaglutide, which seemed to reactivate POMC-neurons and thus stimulate some central neuroendocrine pathways to stimulate things again

Will be sending out a newsletter very soon, how I came off all hormones and how I now feel even better than while I was on them. I used a combination of very low dose of a basal insulin (detemir) as well as a GLP-1 agonist to reverse structural and functional changes to POMC neurons induced by undereating + overexercising, from which I and many others never seem to recover

Why did you come off?

 

[thingsvarious]

Why did you come off?

Because I do not need to be on hormones (which I wrongly assumed) but there were other factors that were causing my hormones to be low

What do you attribute the top 3 reasons which created/contributed to your suboptimal hormones in your formative years?

Why is the post down?

Neither body hair nor head hair has changed. Slightly more beard.

Your before and after pictures didn't come through. Only some weird page about overloaded data and error.
