Are there any differences with exo vs endo T - levels being equal? I’ve used Enclomiphene to get my levels around the 800 mark and I’ve used exo T to get around the same levels.
Each time tho I felt very different even tho levels were the same, high endo T I felt confidence in a different way more grounded and calm and collected - exo T I felt a lot more hyper energy and sense of well being in a goofball way.
Curious what could cause these effects… my guess is the increase in LH FSH from Enclomiphene increases other hormones and neurosteroids like GABA serotonin etc. Whereas exo T shuts down that pathway and all the other hormones LH affects.
What else are we missing out on with shutting down this pathway? Is pregnenalone/DHEA necessary then to backfill the shutdown of this pathway?
It was androxal so clomid without the zuclomiphene that causes all the estro side effects. And I felt great on it - more “complete” not just a high testosterone guy but as if my whole body/mind leveled up. Cognitively, physically, more controlled emotions and mature masculinity as opposed to exo test feel like a horny teenager. I think there may be something to the shutdown pathways that a lot of guys try and backfill with pregnenalone/dhea
Yes pretty much all around the same… the other thing I was thinking is maybe since Enclomiphene blocks estro receptors IN the pituitary gland - the positive psychological benefits I experienced could be from less estro receptors being activated in the brain and more T receptors in the brain getting activated causing more GABA, serotonin etc.
