I am on a TMI roll this week so you will have to excuse this old blogger. If my n-of-1 experiments help even one woman struggling with her health, it’s worth it to me to embarrass myself in public by sharing the real details. I’ve come consider this blog not just a personal experiment in […]

I really misjudged my healing time on the testosterone pellets even though I pretty much always assume a worst case scenario for myself. I’m not really hurting but I am pretty bruised which is typical for me. We may have some room for improvement technique with it so I am encouraged if the is as […]
Intrepid biohacker that I am, when I learned that my testosterone levels were concerningly low, I began on a program to raise them. I started with nutrition and supplementation but I already had a diet and supplement routine that was evidence based for raising testosterone levels in women.

That’s a fancy way of saying I currently feel like shit. I’ve been a bit immobile for the last couple hours from hitting some type pain wall from overclocking myself. […]
Day 1008 and Pesky Hormones
I’m enjoying a double header of hormones today. I’m in my luteal premenstrual phase which always leaves me tired and emotional. But I am also just letting go of the last bits of adrenaline and cortisol from my travels last week. As the last bits of stress hormones drain away and my cyclical hormones flow […]
Day 982 and Not Small Men
I’ve been working on getting a deeper understanding of my hormone profile and where I can better support my cycle. I’ve been surprised by just how little we seem to know about women’s health and the baselines that are considered ideal. Between the battles over health education in school (abstinence only) and the eagerness with […]
