Levothyroxine, also known as L-thyroxine, is a synthetic form of the thyroid hormone thyroxine (T4). It is used to treat thyroid hormone deficiency.
Wiley Protocol (testosterone)TopicalMorning (30 mg) Night (60 mg)DailyI decided to have my testosterone checked in ’09 and even though it was in reference range it was towards the very bottom of the range. Although I wasn’t experiencing any noticeable issues of low testosterone I was concerned that at age 42 and having the testosterone level of someone in their 80’s could become problematic. Also I was doing a fair bit of endurance training around running and cycling and was curious to see if my performance would improve. As such I did some research and supplementing with a bio-identical hormone seemed to be the most prudent course of action.

Over the last 6 months I’ve decided to move away from the rhythmic nature of the protocol and standardize on my daily dosage as way to see if it would address my hemoglobin and hematocrit being just above reference range.
DHEATopicalMorning (50 mg)DailyResearch shows that DHEA can increase testosterone in the body.
