Don’t expect your doctor to be concerned about your TSH in a healthcare system (sick care) where normal is good enough but not always healthy.

I’m guessing my best bet would be fine tuning protocol. I came across this article on this website:
What do you make of these claims that high E2 levels lead to increased health risks?
It’s stuff like this why we have the TRT and Hormone Optimization YouTube channel. This is called ‘Bro Science’. They make all these claims about estrogen yet most of the claims cannot be demonstrated in any medical literature. In fact, it’s the opposite. Do you want libido, erection strength, improved cognition, better bone mineral density, less visceral fat, less risk for diabetes and cardiovascular disease etc. etc. etc.? Guess what does that? Estrogen.

I’m just reading through this article and I’m literally laughing my head off out loud.
This is hilarious. Sheesh! I’d love to have this guy on my channel for a discussion!

I guess I know why we’re all pudgeballs now so at least that’s settled

I’m with you, and I’m going to take your advice and ditch the AI. The main reason I started reviewing my last labs, and ultimately seeking advice here, was due to the fact that I’ve been having none and joint pain when working out. The bone pain in my forearm right now feels like someone hit my forearm with a hammer and bruised it. I’m currently at the gym doing chest. This is usually my favorite day in the gym, but today and the last few times have been horrible. I usually work out with 270, and push to the 300s when I’m feeling really good. Today the pain was nearly unbearable at 225. That’s a red flag to me. I am in the beginning of a calorie deficit to start my cut, and usually expect to feel a little weaker during the beginning stages of a cut. This is different. This is telling me I took my estrogen and flushed it down the toilet. Really wish I would’ve looked at the labs harder when I had them done. I wish I would’ve sought advice sooner. My doctor will freak out and probably try to take extreme measures when he sees what my E2 will be next labs. He was a former bodybuilder so he is a believer in the bro science of estrogen control. I don’t care though, something has to change.
