  1. There is a lot of quackery in regards to vegan nutrition. I would get a general vegan nutrition book from people with real credentials ( Vegan For Life, by Jack Norris RD ) and then eat healthy whole fat rich vegan foods ( nuts, seeds, nut/seed butters, avocados, coconuts, full fat soy )
  2. Interesting post. I've read similar things form bodybuilders on the web and from guys posting about libido issues. My problem with your points is that it is hard to find a doctor who can acknowledge those points. If a standard lab test shows overall testosterone in a normal range most doctors will not consider anything to be wrong and would consider altering hormone levels to be dangerous. Information like yours would be useful if it could be boiled down to a name of a test to ask for. Bonus points for how to find a doctor, and a reputable one ( can't emphasize that enough ) who is aware of the issues you mentioned. I just got back from a urologist. I told him I read on the internet that standard lab tests do not tell the whole testosterone story. He literally said that was "bullshit". I suspect a lot of doctors think that way, hence my point with having a place to start with the right doctor and the name of something to ask for.
  3. Congratulations. I've heard of a drug developed for female fertility called clomid citrate. I think it works by stimulating some glands. In men it gets the body to begin producing more testosterone and often the drug can be discontinued while retaining the benefits. Is Tamoxifen similar? How did you find a doctor that knows about these things?
  4. I just had a full checkup a few weeks ago with an MD, GP. I'm 48. My testosterone came back at 460 ( forgot what the units or the name of the test, I got tested at LabCorp ). My doctor told me that "low testosterone" begins at 300.
