Hey!
I was just wondering if you would consider your sex-drive being high from even before the diet?I was just following one of the threads, and you had mentioned that your sex-drive was very high.Was this because of the diet, or has it always been this way?

My sex drive was high in an intellectual sense, but my body didn't cooperate. I had troubles with lubrication and orgasm, even though mentally I was always gung-ho. I like men. During my marriage my libido evaporated over time--at one point I went six months without an orgasm.

Then I discovered my diet.

I can see what you mean.I feel exactly the way you did.I want sex intellectually, but my body doesnt seem to agree. I know there are a couple of times in the month that my body and my mind are in unison, and I know thats the way I should feel!I just want that to happen more often, you know, when your body just really wants sex!I need to feel that more often

Btw, my total T is 60ng/dl. Is that the right level for a good sex drive? Zane, do you know what your levels are? I was just wondering if there is a difference between the T levels of a woman with a high sex-drive and one with a low sex drive.Im not sure what my free T levels are.

And just a point-there is a difference between a mental/intellectual sex drive and a physical sex drive right? I know thats a vague question I would believe that the physical component is the true sex drive, rather than mentally just wanting it

I think so.

It's been a while since I was tested, I don't know where I put the results. My total T was robust normal--on the higher end of normal. My free T, on the other hand, was ridiculously high because my SHBG was at the absolute healthy minimum.

I ordered your book the other day...waiting for it to come in!Ive also ordered my fish oil (Nature Made 1200mg)and Ca/Mg/Zn supplements.Looking forward to getting on the bandwagon!

Could you pleeeease tell me (approx)how much your total and free T were?And also whether the tests were done after you started the diet, or before?I just need it as a frame of reference.I dont know whether my levels are low,midway, or at the higher end of the range (60ng/dl)
Thanks!

Your test results should have a normal healthy range. Levels vary by lab and the testing technique they use.

According to the lab, their healthy range is 14-76 ng/dl

Then your total T level is great!
