For examples, Male, 35-50, weight loss | Female, 35-50, hormones | Male, 25-45, muscle growth | Male, 25-45, endurance , etc.
Forum by age / gender / goal.

Nah.
Weight loss, muscle growth, and endurance aren’t gender specific. And hormonal issues aren’t limited to women, nor to ages 35-50.

I wish I hadn't had hormonal issues until 35... I think I started having issues when I was 10

Those were just some examples. Could be as granular as mod would want. I was think successful research solutions might be different amongst different types of people. Oh well. Not the first bad idea I’ve had.

It's not a terrible idea but you sound like the feds.
I wish folks would stop trying to suck the fun out of the grey market. There’s this push to legitimize every corner of it and damn, it’s not brand or even compound. Ugh

Would love a women over 40 group. Discuss peps and supplements specific to women’s issues.

I like it. There are some nice protocols being researched for women in peri, meno and post menopause — for those that are supplementing HRT as well as women not taking HRT. I’m over 50, not eligible for HRT, but Tirzep relieved so many meno symptoms for me (joint pain gone the first week for ex) that although I’m at maintenance I will keep taking Tirzep for that reason. Now looking into add on’s to feel good for as long as possible for the next 20 or so years
Many functions decline as we age so discussing those protocols would be great.
Maybe just an HRT section? TBH there isn’t a lot of good discussion about HRT and clinics on other forums. Meso and ASF have some discussion but not very much. I know there are a lot of dudes here on TRT including myself

Why not eligible for HRT? my wife is 52 and they just gave her HRT without even questioning it.I like it.

Do you or anyone here have advice about locating and vetting a peptide-friendly GP/ GYN/ ENDO for starting to test and balance hormones? For cash pay only? I’m not needing them to prescribe peps, but have an open mindedness about self-guided healing.I like it.

For example, many female peptode “experts” mention the standard hormone panels/ levels are quite different than the OPTIMAL. How do we access this info and ensure we are not paying $$$ to meet with dozens of doctors till we find a local one who is knowledgeable and flexible?
Bonus question: if we do comprehensive test panels on our own (not ordered by Dr./ independent lab), is there ALSO a gray market for sourcing our own testosterone and estrogen?

A lot of the peptide vendors also carry hormones and common medication, but managing your own hormones is substantially more complex than most peptides. You need to learn about different steroids and how to read lab results (and which labs to order). Bodybuilding forums are a good source of that information but they aren't known for being the most polite company. MesoRX is one of the most popular.

I was actually just looking at the price list of a vendor who sells common fertility drugs and progesterone, so it's definitely a thing in this space.
I have a menopause specialist I have been seeing for 3 years. I drive 90 minutes each way to see her twice a year. GA reclassed testosterone so now I have to do F2F every 6 months where I used to do telemed. She is a NP at a women's health clinic. If you want to DM me I will try and help you find someone in your area. Many use Defy Medical telemed service. I think they may charge an upfront fee and monthly? I am really not sure. There is a great FB group as well if you are on there... Let me know if I can help.
I use defy for male HRT. Upfront cost was around 500 for labs and appointment. Drugs are through compounding pharmacies, relatively inexpensive compared to tirz but expensive compared to UGL test. There is no monthly fee. One weird thing was they required a physical and if you go to a place and say you’re getting a physical for HRT they will often tell you to leave. There is so much fear and ignorance from medical professionals around this.
Also worth noting the testosterone concentrations sold UGL are often not very compatible with female TRT dosages. It’s hard to accurately dose 10 mg from 250 mg/ml. Here is a guide for diluting
