Explain Testosterone Vs Cortisol

[Guest guest]

Val-

I've read that you said taking HC raises catabolism and that testosterone can

help counter that. Could you explain:

1. Is it true and can it explain why when I really raised my HC up to 35mgs I

felt and looked absolutely terrible? I developed dark circles under my eyes, I

got extremely weak and lost weight. I just couldn't take that much HC. Although

my total testoserone has always been 550-600 (range 250-1100) my free is 81

(46-224 range) and my bioavailable 153 (range 110 575).

2. I got my initial 24hr urine tests thru D. Therese Hertoghe (not Theiry-I

think they're siblings). He said 3 things

--very low glucocorticoid metabolite excretion- suggested HC

--very low androgen metabolit excretion-suggested DHEA 25mgs, transdermal

Testosterone

--Low GH

3. If my SHBG has risen from 29 to 40 since taking HC and Armor- How does this

fit in with this?

4. Does taking thyroid meds affect testoterone/ increase catabolism?

Thanks
