question from a user
Question about the “honeymoon phase”. So I started 6 weeks ago on my protocol and felt great the first 4… energetic and kicking ass in the gym and on the scale. The last week or so I’ve found myself to be tired and blah again. Do you think it’s because my natural production has stopped and now my levels are all based on exogenous doses? Is this something you see often?

Yes, it is very common. And your theory as to why it happens is the same as ours, though there is no way of knowing exactly why it happens.
The good news is that it resolves in time. Typically, you will start to feel better again in another 4-6 weeks.
