I am 49 y/o and for the last 10 years I have inquired with my doctor about testosterone. He occasionally tests me and I hover around ~500 give or take. I have a coworker using testosterone and he is over 1000 and feels like he can smash a wall. I don’t want to smash a wall, but I like the idea of feeling that strong and confident. Woke this morning at 5:22a standing at full attention, so I’m still good to go….would still like to try test one day, but the doctor keeps telling no, I am fine. Thanks is for posting this. Never connected the two.

Nutrition, sleep, exercise, abstaining from alcohol and drugs. Research natural methods for improving testosterone and thyroid function. In my experience these two systems are similar and can be improved or harmed with diet and behavior.

Exercise especially squats daily and have a soldier salute every morning

Is genetic carrier screening prior to starting an ivf cycle necessary? I tested and found some disorders. Now my RE won’t start my cycle until my partner is tested. They are saying they will have to do special PGT tests if we are carriers of the same disorder. I am confused. I thought this type of testing was optional and usually recommended if you are using a donor. My guess is that they are booked and pushing me to the Jan cycle. Thoughts?

First day of 30mg vyvanse today. Had a rush of energy and hyperfocus (too much so) about 2-4 hours in, but had a complete crash 5hrs after taking the pill (just a wave of fatigue, felt very good after a quick 15min nap actually) and not sure if it had any effect after. Is this normal? Should I stick it out for a few days or is this a big sign that I’m not on the right meds/dose? Nervous to keep trialling this during the workday since a midday crash is not ideal. Appreciate any advice!

Whenever i have a big deadline, my body goes into a panic mode where my energy immediately goes to figuring out how I’ll get something done well and on time.

I currently work at a small PI firm in Atlanta were EVERYTHING is settled presuit. If we’re unable to settle, then it’s referred to another firm for litigation. This whole process seems very atypical to me and the attorneys rarely touch a file until the first liability offer is received. The paralegals handle everything from intake to drafting the demands. The attorney briefly skims (does NOT read) the demand packages and signs. Is this ethical?? Anyone else work at a firm that is run this way??
