Day 1748 and Putting Testosterone Pellets In My Butt Cheek

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. I added in DHEA (Dehydroepiandrosterone) at 25mg. […]

Day 1766 and Thursday Styles Theory Strikes Again: Testosterone for Women Edition

Ever wish you could call the next big trend. That’s the Thursday Styles Problem: knowing what’s coming, & nailing when. My testosterone experiment just made the front page… right as the wave broke.

Day 1787 and On The Same Wavelength

For someone with clear skin on my face (not even a humble brag), I spend what feels like irresponsible amount of time and energy on my skin health. The rest of my dermis is not as tractable as my face. I’ve been fighting eczema my whole life. This year has been a particularly challenging, as […]

Day 1764 and Not so Easy In and But Out of the Woods

It has been sixteen days since I confidently decided to insert testosterone pellets by tiny incision into my left buttocks. I was felt certain we’d checked all the appropriate risk factors and my tolerance threshold was met. I felt I was making pretty decent progress on healing over five days as I had not only […]

Day 1758 and Fluctuation in Society

I was ordered into bed for a couple of days by not one but two doctors. As I mentioned yesterday, a small incision for testosterone pellets must have let in a small amount of bacteria. Maybe we didn’t pick the correct antibiotics (or maybe it was an inadequate dose) so what looked like healthy healing […]

Day 1755 and Slow Healer

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 […]

Day 1754 and Do You Want To See Something Gross?

My inner child finds the idea asking if “you want to see something gross” to be funny. Of course, I want to see. Gore and violence don’t get this reaction from me. I dislike it in movies and in the real world. But to see gross and the weird in the real world. I get […]

Day 1751 and On Brand with Protestant Renunciations and Wound Care

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 […]

Day 1962 and Piss in a Can

Women are at a bit of a disadvantage to men when it comes to relieving ourselves. Yes I am talking about taking a piss. From road trips to the backcountry, we’re forced to hike up our skirts (or worse shimmy down our pants) and aim our stream through squat & thrust such that it lands […]

Day 1919 and Happy WordPress Anniversary

I feel terribly today. I do not know why other than some vague gesturing at my current biohacking experiment with hormones (testosterone & estradiol pellets inserted into my left buttcheek) required prophylactic antibiotics. Antibiotics never makes you feel great, but here is a nice thing to get me off the hook of having to write […]
