If you had to choose a UV lamp device to help with Vitamin D between the Sperti, Chroma D-Light, or the EMR Inferno which one would you choose and why?
EMR Tek Krypton (i think that's what you meant by Inferno)
Why? Because it has both UVA and UVB.
UVA is more important than UVB, which is extremely important. TCA cycle activation, OPN regeration, nitric oxide, serotonin, melatonin, and dopamine synthesis? the list goes on.
EMR-Tek Krypton: narrowband UVB at 311 nm - very slow to generate vitamin D.
Chroma D-Light: UVB centered at 297 nm (generates much more Vitamin D at the lower wavelength)
I personally found 20 mins of EMR Tek was not enough for me when I did blood tests of vitamin D, and the EMR-Tek timer is only 5 mins, so can't just "leave it on".
How to structure sprints for DHT optimalization for the best outcome - sets/ lenght (metres/seconds)/frequency per week etc and if I may - follow up Q - does the same structureof sprints apply for mitochondrial biogenesis?
For DHT max, do 10-30 second all-out sprints, 6-8 sets with 2-3 min full recovery, 2-3x weekly focusing on explosive power not endurance since DHT converts to fast-twitch fibers. Track distance or use hill sprints at 40-60m per rep, keep total sprint time under 4 minutes per session, and time your fastest split each workout to ensure you're hitting 95%+ intensity. Mitochondrial biogenesis needs completely different structure, go 4-6 min at 85-90% VO2max for 4-5 intervals with 1:1 work-rest ratio 2x weekly, or better yet get 2 hours zone 2 cardio weekly plus your DHT sprints. Don't mix protocols in same session, separate by 48 hours minimum, add 200mg CoQ10 daily for both pathways. The sprint work builds power, the aerobic work builds the engines to use it.
Curious on your thoughts on my current 'starter' brain protocol in terms of the supplements (also dietary choline/hormone/circadian/zone 2 maxxing of course), especially in terms of timings maybe around learning events etc and whether that matters. Taking (all NDepot stuff):
Non-Daily:
200+100mg Caffeine 3-4x per Week
200+100mg Sabroxy sublingual 3-4x per Week (non-caffeine/intense learning days)
400mg Alpha GPC from Gorilla Energy 2x per Week (performance boosting)
Daily:
250mg CDP Choline first thing + early afternoon
200mg Cognance first thing
10mg 4DMA 78DHF first thing
30mg Saffron first thing
100mg Polygala sublingual in afternoon
200ug Huperzine in afternoon
2mg Nicotine 2/3x as needed
75mg Bromantane - just arrived - unsure on dosage and timing
Is there a point where too much serum DHT causes downside longterm (especially if it’s through supra-physiological levels) ? Would emotional blunting be one of those where you literally don’t care about anything with passion?
My aunt (64yo woman) is starting to show signs of cognition slowing (not quite sure I would go so far as to say alzheimer's / dementia, but it is clear there is cognitive loss). she is very social and physically active, but does not have a husband or share the household with anyone (which I know that is a big cuplrit of mental decline as people age). what should I do, and what should I recommend she do to try to save mental functioning to the best of her ability? anything from supplements, imaging, and therapies (I don't think I've seen you post any but would be all ears if you had any to highlight!). In the grand scheme of things she is young, and I want to extend useful life by as much as possible. not to mention it hurts like HELL seeing it unfold, interacting, etc... I can imagine it gets to a point where it feels like a slow burn in hell... would love your thoughts!
If you were experimenting with 120mg Test C, 750 IU HCG, 30mg DHTE, and 15mg AndroE, would you also consider Pygeum to improve load volume, or would you avoid it because it interferes with DHT?
I have been taking androsterone enanthate for about 3 weeks now(5mg eod), I did labs 1 week before and they came out like this:
Dihydrotestosterone (DHT): 46.9 ng/dL
Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG): 30.70 nmol/L
Free Testosterone: 16.31 pg/mL
Estradiol: 51.12 pg/mL
Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH): 4.54 mIU/mL
Luteinizing Hormone (LH): 7.22 IU/L
Prolactin: 11.06 ng/mL
Testosterone: 730.69 ng/dL
19y, 169cm, 56kg for reference
I find the estradiol and dht quite concerning but understandable.
Where would I see the most drastic changes when I do labs in about 1-2 weeks? Should I expect higher dht and and lower estradiol?
So far the androsterone effects have been noticeable but underwhelming to what I've expected.
Just started out at college and found myself to be more charismatic calm and collected, especially with girls, but I feel like I miss that masculine edge. Could it be all placebo?
There's a lot of factors at play to estimate what will actually change with labs, but I am asking just for your opinion and if you find any other thing from this panel concerning.
Lifestyle has been okay, drank a few times and haven't done much recently for hormonal optimization other than taking ae.
Don't pay attention to that. Get IGF-1 bloods and evaluate. Might want to try MK777 or man up and inject bioidentical HGH because mk677 will make you fat longterm 😜
For nnEMF mitigation, do you have direct experience with using EMF canopy or heard from people for who it worked? Asking because I've heard unsuccessful stories, and they're very expensive.
It 100% works if you set it up correctly. You don't need to rely on trust, use a TF2 and see for yourself. Proper set up requires a pad under the mattress and complete enclosure. Even smarter to paint your walls with RF proof paint. If you don't live in an apartment, the canopy may be unnecessary if you just turn off your wifi and airplane mode your phone.
WARNING: Do not use your phone inside the canopy. it will cook you.
Bought some Lithium Orotate for brain health, 5mcg pills, about how often should I consume it? Something like once per day for a few weeks and cycle off?
You mean 5mg? Take one 5mg lithium orotate daily with breakfast for 8 weeks on, 4 weeks off, always pair it with 18g inositol powder split into 3 doses and 600mg magnesium glycinate at night. Add 1000mcg methylcobalamin sublingual since lithium helps B12 recycling, makes the whole stack work better. The brain health comes from the combination not the lithium alone.

Only one?

If you have the money, Chroma's Lux vital + D light is a wicked combo
Otherwise: Krypton
I'm really after the best set up combo that can improve Vitamin D especially heading into the Winter. I'm the tan as hell skin low Vit D....
We don't believe UVA is optional.
Chroma D-light much better.
EMR-Tek Krypton: narrowband UVB at 311 nm - very slow to generate vitamin D.
Chroma D-Light: UVB centered at 297 nm (generates much more Vitamin D at the lower wavelength)

appreciate you offering your experience!
Old tweet “most people would benefit from 5mg pregnenolone”
Who wouldn’t and why?
If you're living low nnEMF with great light environment, time outside and dietary fats you probably aren't low
Do you or anyone else have thoughts/recommendations on some of the best TRT clinics to work with?

Wonderful answer ! Thanks for making it clear to me.
Love the EMF guide

Sure, that is absolutely an effect of dht too high. It would be resolved by adding exogenous e2 or waiting for the dht ester to clear
