Any Ladies Get That “Anavar Glow”?

You can press the gas GHRH/ghrelin all you want somatostatin is the handbrake

High stress, high cortisol high somatostatin tone muted GH pulse

Beard growth body hair and confidence often track with DHT more than T

Insulin spikes indirectly reinforce the inhibitory environment

Many healthy men unknowingly suppress DHT with hair protocols

Overtraining keeps the nervous system in a state that favors inhibition

Finasteride side effects line up with low DHT symptom patterns

Circadian disruption shifts the GH somatostatin balance the wrong way

Alcohol before bed elevates somatostatin tone overnight

Maybe the real question isn’t low testosterone but low DHT
