"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

I’m going to schedule my yearly physical and will have blood work done.
What bloodwork tests should I ask for for my hormone levels to be evaluated?
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

Sorry just saw this.

Off the top of my head, IDEALLY, you’re going to want:

CMP
CBC
total testosterone
Free testosterone
Estradiol
DHT
PSA
Lipid panel
C-reactive protein (total body inflammation)
Fasted glucose levels
Fasted insulin
IGF-1
Cortisol
Vitamin D3 levels (25-hydroxy vitamin D blood test)

This is pretty much everything.


If you’re trying to save some cash, and just want to know your hormones, then just check:

Total testosterone
Free testosterone
Estradiol
DHT
PSA

But I highly recommend you include everything I suggested in the first panel. The body is a complicated thing. And everything’s related. Hope this helps.

P.S. a lot of doctors have a god complex and will try to argue with you. Don’t waste your breath. Either find another doctor, or go thru one of those private online blood panel sites. U pay, pick what u want tested, they email u the order, and then u take it to labcorp. They’ll email you the results. Then you can take those to a COMPETENT endo.

Feel free to bring them to me as well if u wish. But I am NOT a doctor. Just a guy that knows stuff.
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

Run a complete panel. Just make sure they use a lab that is in your network. It can be quite costly if they use an out of network lab.

make sure you check with your insurance about the free test check. That is one that is not covered by a lot of insurance and can be very costly.
