Agree! My progesterone is high and aldosterone is Low. Cortisol used to be very high after getting off Fin/SP and later went to low. I think it is probably high again which explains high K.

Thanks man! I will.

Has anyone got vitamin E in TEI supplementation plan? Are you taking it everyday as suggested in dosage?

Yes, experienced this a few years ago - combination of fasting and exercising helped.

Not sure ..have not experienced scalp itch on TEI so far.

Got a few more responses from Catherine. Posting it here as a reference (might not apply to others): 1. High potassium in a hair test can indicate high cortisol - so discontinuing licorice is a good idea at this point because it has been indicated in raising cortisol. It can support adrenal...

Increased confidence and reduced anxiety in past however gave stomach issues

I have high potassium in hair test but TEI still gave me potassium in one of the supps..why? Is it because high potassium in hair means more potassium wasting and actually low potassium in body?

Restarted TEI Supplements yesterday. - Had some bloating, anxiety and palpitations + Not feeling cold anymore; went out wearing a shirt when it was 5 degree and windy Wake up with morning wood though no changes to scrotum size. Ella (past) was the only one causing most dramatic change to date...

Her suggestion was to slowely increase dosage from 1x to 3x as body could be going through adjustment period. Also, i took Licorice before test so wanted to be more cautious of what i’m ingesting as I don’t want to create new imbalances. That’s why will restart with lower dose and slowly increase.

Today I compared my hair test results from last year with TEI results. Why I did that? I have not taken Licorice or Ella or RU last year so the old result is clean and can serve as a good “directional” baseline. Directional Only as 2017 test was not through TEI. Old test (CanAlt) (scalp hair...

@MNK99 The reason I have not restarted yet is mostly because of the possibility of Licorice impairing my hair test result (Helen’s comment) I can continue TEI and get retest done after a few weeks but not sure if those supps will hurt or will help.

I have stopped all supplements since yesterday. Where i’m Today: + Back pain: slightly better + Nausea: better + Digestion and bloating: better - palpitations - still present - Anxiety - still present - Headache and sinus symptoms started Still thinking whether to stop everything before next...

@Helen - shall I stop everything (supplements as well) and get retested? Or just stop Licorice and get retested?

@Helen Thanks for your inputs. I have PFS symptoms for over 6 years. In the beginning I had high cortisol but it shifted to low cortisol over years ( from saliva test.) I used to take Licorice (20mg) once 3-4 days but stopped it a few days before hair test. I’m not taking Licorice daily, just...

Update: -Shrinkage -Prostate and lower back pain - burning sensation - Back has swelled a bit - light headedness at time - Palpitations Decided to stop supps for a day. Anyone else got prostate issues or lower back pain?

This is fantastic!! I’m on TEI too for ~2 weeks and your journey is giving me more confidence in what I’m doing.:) Really liked the way you described your progress on the remaining issues. On that note, Will it be possible to add a “before TEI view” as well so that we know what has been the...

[Update] Got a bit late with dosage and Took my AM dose at 12 PM after food and after sometime started having right shoulder pain, headache, nausea and palpitations. ———— Looks like libido is down too.After starting supps, I’m getting to a point where i’m not enjoying sex much - Ella...

I’m slowly changing my diet - adding more quinoa, fish, beans and reducing fruit juice No changes to breathing. When I started taking supplements, felt very low ( energy, mood) especially in the mornings however that got better in part with time and with one or two Licorice low doses.

Almost 1 week: - Energy levels fluctuating - digestion worse with stomach pain, gas - Brain fog a bit less - Shrinkage continues Mostly sticking with plan however took very low dose of 25 mg Licorice one morning after asking Catherine as I was feeling very low in energy and was difficult to...
