I’ve done a comprehensive blood panel, ultrasound and mammogram as part of 6 months check up after I started the protocol.
All my blood tests came back good as well as ultrasounds.
Feeling wise I feel more stable energy, good sleep, little PMS if any, minimal mood fluctuations, good training quality and recovery, and muscle gain.
Period has became less regular after the first 3 months which is expected given the protocol.
The only downside that I observed is the recurrent acne that is driven by androgen dominance of the current protocol.
Thus, I am making an adjustment.
I learned that my doctor is near 60 years old, she is breast cancer survivor (had it at 50 years old), in HRT despite the conventional thinking that it’s not possible, and a vegan as well.
I am grateful for having access to quality care doctors in Brasilia, who spends an hour with me, going through 58 blood tests, and sharing her own journey.
One thing she said is that I found helpful is that this is a long journey. As I enter closer to the menopause, I need to keep open mind to adjust the protocol. What works now may not work in 1 year, so I always need to be ready to change again.
