Hi Susan,
I hope 3 PM works out. It's interesting that maca + FG gave a headache, but it went away quickly. I still believe you can achieve a lot by timing them right.
82 kg this morning. That was my winter weight a few years ago. I aim for my summer weight, 79 kg (174 lbs), by end September. Early October is the end of my three month ramp up. A healthy weight (18.5 < BMI < 25) is below 79.6 kg.
I just watched two hours of interview with professor Dick Swaab:

As an extra in my younger daughter's movie, I made € 25. The first € 25 that I'm proud of in my life. I spent it on Dick Swaab's book for the general public, which most of the general public in the Netherlands have read this summer:
http://www.bol.com/nl/p/nederlandse-boek...0080954bbi
He was one of the people who published in 1995 in Nature that TSs' brains are physically different:
A Sex Difference in the Human Brain and its Relation to Transsexuality
http://tgmeds.org.uk/diffa.html
He got a lot of flak in the late eighties for discovering a difference in brains of gays. They had just come out of a 50 year struggle to remove homosexuality from the psychiatric Diagnostic and Statistical Manual. By 2008, Swaab could quote other research confirming that gays really do have different brains:

Using the index of the book, I've read the bits about TSs. Nothing in there about TGs in the narrow sense of the word, but he did make an interesting comment in the interview. He said the research focuses on extremes: women and men. Exposure to hormones and other chemicals in the uterus determine if one is shot into life in one direction or the other. But you can also be shot "somewhere in the middle".
I know my interest in NBE predates my choice of a profession. I listened carefully to my mother telling me about herbs with hormonal effects. Shortly after their start up in 1973, this company's folder was in the mail. The ad about their hops-placenta cream B-form really caught my eye:

I was 12. I'm really curious about the rest of Dick Swaab's book. Does he mean to tell me my brain was hard coded for NBE three months before I was born?
