@@punisher00109 Interesting, I didn't knew that. I believe it's always best to optimize your natural hormone levels first with a form of weight training, proper nutrition and enough sleep. Using gels or getting injections for the rest of your life is no joke.
@Tyson MMA my situation is complex, very complex. if you still feel good than yes of course. pretty sure my problem is genetic, my androgen receptors do not process testosterone correctly. there still isn't enough research on this. no doctor would even touch me, had to find a specialist, but it cured all of my symptoms. willing to take the risk.
34 and just started TRT two months ago. Ive lost 25lbs, bike 8miles a day, my depression is almost completely gone, I’m in control of my anxiety, feel more motivated . I probably needed it when I was in my 20s but my doctors just gave me anti anxiety or anti depressants.
@@swisstrader I spoke to my primary care doctor. I told her about all my symptoms and if I could get a blood test to check my levels. Sure enough T was low. I’m still losing weight, but the muscle I have put on since this post has been significant. Just ask your doctor to test your levels, that’s step 1. Good luck!
@@swisstrader If you try and go through your primary care doctor, they will only treat you if you are below the recommended levels however, if you go to a anti aging clinic they will treat your symptoms of low t even if its not "clinically low". Not hard to get unless you're naturally high and or, have really bad health issues (I.E. prostate, thyroid, etc.)
When I was doing TRT the biggest benefit for me was mental clarity. It's those damn hormones again! Low testosterone makes you lethargic and depressed.
@@patrickparson9628 Uhm, "Healthy women have just as much testosterone as healthy men" is completely wrong. You can't just say stuff like that. (I'll let you google it yourself as you should have before typing it)
@@patrickparson9628 That's not true at all. A healthy woman doesn't even have half of the testosterone of a healthy man. Hell, even a woman with relatively high testosterone won't have as much as a man with lower levels of T. Testosterone is produced in men by the testicles. Women produce testosterone, but NOWHERE NEAR at the levels that a man with semi-functional balls do. If women had the same levels, they would have facial hair, bone density, and muscle mass at the same levels as men. They would also cease to menstruate and loss their fertility. Whereas high testosterone make men more fertile.
34 here and on TRT, 100 test cyp, once a week. For years I’ve battled depression and anxiety. I hit the gym 5-6 times a week and ate a very clean diet but with test levels at 250…it just wasn’t enough. Best decision I’ve ever made! I’ve been able to quit my depression and anxiety drugs! Today I was able to hit the gym hard, and took my kids out to the park to play the entire day! Finally feel like I can be the dad that my kids needs and a husband that is FULLY functional. It’s a game changer! Get your levels tested!
I’m right around that same number, and 39. Literally talked to my doc today, seeing the other doc Tuesday. So excited, can’t wait!!! Looking forward to the energy and not being a maniac over the littlest thing lol
I'm 43. My total came back at 286. I workout (heavy kettlebell and BJJ) 4 to 5 days a week. Eat, sleep, stress management... I always feel like I'm playing catch up. I'm at the point where I either need to start a theraputic level of trt or reduce my activity.

TRT has been a major life saver for me for years I dealt with depression and anxiety and not one anti depressant was able to help me get back to normal but TRT has been a lifesaver and it should be offered to more patients as long as they have been checked regularly and are not trying to abuse it…. People who have depression or anxiety don’t have to struggle anymore but still some Dr’s are not willing to take the opportunity and add to the quality of life and benefits to their patients.. this has to change!!!
If your not on TRT and you absolutely need it, I’m here to tell you, go see a doctor, get your levels tested. I’ve been on TRT for year and it’s the best life decision I ever made. I’m 36 and feel like I’m 18.
@@screamofitness Lower testosterone in younger adults is becoming more common. It's because the chemicals in plastic affect hormone levels. Obviously plastic is everywhere. Most food comes packaged in plastic. Medicines, vitamins, soaps, shampoos, etc. Even if you actually avoid plastics you will still get them in your system. Your good hormones will be lower than they should be. TRT will raise those hormones to healthy levels. I asked my doctor about TRT when I was about 32. The doctor says to wait until I was 40, and then insurance will cover it. I'm 39 and looking forward to it next year.
@@JB-1138 wow it's hard for me to relate I am 33 and I do just about everything I can to manage stress, sleep enough eat healthy and take any vitamin or supplement that is Natural that i can take and i have been able to maintain good healthy Testosterone levels.
I had my first TRT appointment last month and first blood test last week, and everything Joe is saying is true. The medical advisor kept asking me about sleep, weed and booze. He said don’t bother with TRT if I smoke weed because marijuana devastates Testosterone in men.
I’m smoke weed occasionally so I didn’t think it would effect me but I smoked and tried to get some abs I couldn’t I’m like this defeats the purpose !!! 🤦🏿♂️
TRT changed my life. I was 109 pounds at 33. I'm 35 and 161 and happy. Deca changed my life too. I wish I did it sooner. It was all because of a 2 min conversation with my doctor. We were talking about getting therapy to help me with life and in conversation I said "It's like the testosterone was beaten and screamed/yelled out of me when I was a child" .... Turns out there is something called "Cortisol" in my blood that kept me in survival mode.

cory ddp $15-$20 per 200mg of test cyp on the street, once a week won’t break the bank, but the blood tests an co-pays add up, so if you wanna do it the right way it’s gonna add up.
You can get 9 months supply of testosterone cyp for less than $100 from a pharmacy. On the street, it would cost less than half that. The growth hormone is really expensive, though.

Haha, I love how that guy laughs! Makes me laugh myself! Started TRT 3-4 months ago, and feel much better now. Still have a long way to go, but its going in the right direction. No more raving depression and steady fat gain, and total loss of energy and motivation.
It’s called replament for a reason , trt brings you back to what a normal standard should be not at a insane steroid level. Dealing with unknown anxiety because of low T , trt has made my life 💯 better , in great shape and making more money than I ever have . I’m with Rogan!

I've never been in any competitive sports, but always enjoyed nutrition, clean living, and keeping up on good nutrition. I am really focused and aware of hormone levels and balance. I'm gonna be 58 years old in April; many say I look 10 years younger. I can't really remember how great I felt when I was in my 20s, but sometimes, do to my lack of nutritional knowledge and overtraining at the time, I had some pretty low and unenergetic times. If I remember correctly, I actually feel better now than I did in my 20s. That could be owed to the fact that I am very health conscious and know a hell of a lot about nutrition and exercise. I'm not a huge guy, but look great for a person who only uses nutrition, sleep, stress management, and exercise with proper recuperation between work outs. I gauge my hormone levels on sex drive and morning wood. Things that I have noticed in age: Sex drive can change drastically from week to week due to sleep and/or stress levels. When I was younger, it didn't matter. When I went through a devastating life issue, I lost all sex drive for two or three months; that would never happen if I was 20 yrs old. I have to eat properly to keep my sex drive up. Raw vegetables and "root" type plants are a requirement for higher hormones; not so at 20 yrs old. I am a firm believer in keeping things natural. I have always maintained my physique. In the last 3 years I have been working out and trying to gain muscle. Although I have always gained very slowly, no matter what age, I am able to gain about 1 lb to 2lb per year lately which is added to lagging areas. I owe this to a very strict diet. In short, I like to do what I can while I am able to do it naturally. When I stop being able to naturally enjoy the pleasures of sex, and I start feeling the effects of a low hormonal level, at that time I would definitely look at TRT. I feel that putting it off for as long as possible is the better way to go. I just feel that there is so much you can do with your lifestyle to keep your hormone levels high and balanced. I fukng love these podcasts. You have some great guests that have awesome information.
To put this into further perspective the age gap between Joe Rogan and Joey Diaz is only 5 yrs... But its like Joe is talking to a friends dad in the vid
Well also to be fair, informed, consistent & honest.....Joey Diaz since he was an urban grade school kid was fkin his body up HARD. He was lookinglike a rough 65 till around 2005. Then he looked 81 with terminal illnesses for 15 years. It is what it is. He's been getting ALOT better for a couple years now so here's hoping he'll only continue on the path he's on especially now that he has a kid of his own.
Shit sure helped me, for some reason my production got knocked out after Iraq. Was emotional and depressed, constantly felt like dogshit. Then I asked my doc to check my test levels and boom sure that was the problem. Doc started me on TRT and i've felt better ever since.
I actually suffered from depression for many years. I started counseling and she recommended me to get my levels checked. I was tested and my testosterone was low. I started shots and my depression went way
Just turned 50 and I started on testosterone about 9 months ago. Blood work showed levels were practically non-existent on my own and I was feeling it. Hard time waking up and getting through the days. I work out 5 days a week. It became a struggle to get up and go and there were no gains at that point. This has made a huge difference. I sleep better, feel better, have a more clear and positive outlook, and I have energy to get up and hit the gym and look better now than I did 5 years ago. I would absolutely recommend it to anyone over 40 for sure.

I've been slowly seeing my T levels drop. DR keeps denying T. I Decided to be my own best advocate and went to a men's specialty clinic and got tested. My fucking total T was 42.2. Not 242. Not 142. Just 42. I asked them the last time they calibrated their machine, and they said it's done every Tuesday. The issue with me is I always grew up hearing how bad it was for you, not knowing that bodybuilding really gave this entire TRT process a bad wrap due to back alley deals and unmonitored treatment. I'm not sure what I'm going to feel like, but after a discussion with my wife and I, we decided to do the treatments. LAt time I was tested a month ago and was 170 total, 8 binding, 42 free. The wellness center said the treatment I've been receiving down right criminal.
@Origin It doesnt work like that at all. I know people on TRT and they dont look any younger lol. Dont act like it's something its not. It's false advertising to people who don't know any better. People on cycle of steroids like far older than their age if anything, not that TRT does that, but it def doesnt make you look younger anyway. You might feel younger if your levels were low before though.

I have been on trt for 3 years, working out. Lost over 10kg without trying, meaning eating the same, working out as always but lost over 10kg and gained muscle
I have been feeling so terrible lately. (Couple years now) finally got blood work done and my testosterone levels were 184. 😭 Stress has been killing me like a mfr. I’m 25yrs old. Might get onto trt. I use to workout, now I have no energy to do anything in life really.
Joe man I totally agree with you. I am in my early 40’s and since this coronavirus shit I have quit smoking and cut back on the drinking and I feel great. You got do the process of elimination before committing to TRT. I am glad you explained that to your audience and the stigma that comes with it. See that folks is responsible broadcasting. Kudos Joe 👍
You have to train properly as well. Lifting heavy and training to failure often is a recipe for messed-up joints, adrenal and CNS fatigue, and burnout.
@@heuvelke1065 Right on. Def safer for sure but I would recommend avoiding failure and increasing your training frequency for each muscle group and you may be surprised at the results. Try it out for 4 weeks and see what you think.

The stigma thing is real, I am on trt at the age of 29 and I felt bad or less man. Now that my levels are normal I am unstoppable, this message should be said more often.
I just started it today at 28 y/o, but I've been in the process of diagnosis for 3 years (NHS is slow). I'm looking forward to seeing how it affects me, on 140mg per week.
I am 56 and i'm on testosterone replacement therapy.For those who think it is dangerous and unhealthy your clueless,Having low testosterone can have terrible health effects along with low testosterone is high estrogen which can and will cause a whole lot of issues.I go through a doctor and i get blood work every 6 to 10 weeks.
Unfortunately my insurance didn't cover it so I had to go thru a very good clinic and I pay 340 every 10 weeks for my testosterone hcg and arimidex its not that bad.I was probably better off any because a reg doctor isn't to verse on trt most think being at 200 to 300 ngl is ok.These primary doctors are a joke.
TRT is not all unicorns and rainbows. Testosterone therapy has various risks, including: 1) Worsening sleep apnea - a potentially serious sleep disorder in which breathing repeatedly stops and starts. 2) Causing acne or other skin reactions. 3) Stimulating noncancerous growth of the prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia) and growth of existing prostate cancer. 4) Enlarging breasts. 5) Limiting sperm production or causing testicles to shrink. 6) Stimulating too much red blood cell production, which contributes to the increased risk of forming a blood clot. A clot could break loose, travel through your bloodstream and lodge in your lungs, blocking blood flow (pulmonary embolism). 7) Hair loss
Just started TRT today. I'm 29 about to be 30 and my levels were 499. Not super low, but back about 5 years ago they were at 987. I was in amazing shape and could burn fat like no other. It's been taking me 3 days to recover from workouts when I used to go 2 on 1 off. Weight gain and sleepless nights. Hoping for the best! Only trying to get my levels back up to that 1000 mark.
I'm on week 4, remind me here in a bit and I'll update. So far feel pretty good, higher energy and better mood. Most trt benefits take 3-12 months to really kick in.
Yes it saved me from multiple scerosis to the point it seemed I never had anything wrong felt great and alive ,now I gotta work on going to remission again ...
But yet no one responded to you in two years, you could be dead now for all we know lol - Why is that NO ONE simply tells others what website to go too and how much to take? That's why I believe many of these comments are bull crap or Ai. lol
Jo is straight up telling the truth. I am not on TRT but have been in the past. And the amount of energy was astronomical, not to mention my body looked so much better.
I did trt twice for 6 ish months, it messed up my cholesterol levels and gave me heart problems. Being off of it, and still being physically active, I feel alot better. I had to raise my endurance and be smarter about my training, but now I feel great. It's not for everyone, but doing enough exercise regularly and eating a decent diet is all you really need. I recently did blood tests, and my natural test levels had increased from just being more active.
@willg37 I was dealing with symptoms of fatigue, depression and the like. I got my test checked out and it was low, below average, I think 250. I got on it and it raised my t to about 550-600. But the side effects for me were bad after an while, and got off of it. I work a psychical job, so having energy after work was a bit of an issue. But, now I just push through it, make myself be active after work, and I enjoy it now.
@@fleshhammer656 We live in a society wherein most people have a fast food mentality. Most want it quick and instant. Exercising consistently, eating very healthy and supplementing certain nutrients in a semi random, but semi consistent way, losing fat (but not too much), meditating and learning other ways to deal with stress and anger, and sleeping better consistently, will in combo help most men to naturally regain higher levels of T. (maybe also avoiding plastic use and some other things?). But that is hard to do when you area already low T. I'm in my mid 40's and definitely feeling lower T. I don't want to go on TRT because it is expensive (especially if you don't have insurance), potentially health affecting in a negative sense (if you're not dosed right etc), and most importantly--if you're not taking other things, it shuts down your natural production. I've decided to try kiss peptin for a little while to see if it helps. It avoids a lot of the potential negative side effects, and is much, much lower cost. I can buy 5 mg for around 50 dollars, and at my weight, that will last me almost 8 months (at twice a week injections, which I plan to start at, and increase to 3 if only needed). But I don't plan to take it that long anyways. I just want to try it for the next few months during the winter/early spring, as I tend to have higher T and feel better from mid spring to early fall period (some of that is likely greater sun exposure and being more active). I could stand to lose 30lbs or so. I feel like once I lose that weight, while exercising more consistently and getting better sleep, a lot of lower T issues of lower energy/motivation will correct itself more naturally, and I won't need to be on anything long term. I really don't want to be dependent on something outside of myself. I have the diet part down already. I eat really healthy consistently. I have the stress management mostly down. Just need to work on the exercise and better sleep more.
Joe is absolutely right, I'm on TRT for the last 7 months and I feel so good, when I stopped it, I felt like 70-80 years old man, joint pain, constantly tired, zero energy, high blood pressure, zero sex drive. But before you start, do all tests first 👌

I think a lot of successful men have used testosterone and it’s a big reason they’re where they are. The rock is a good example. I think it not just helps the body but the mind, and helps with confidence. I’ve seen a lot of dudes on testosterone that seem to have a mental edge.
Yeah, but he's on a dangerous level of steroids at his size. What your saying is dangerous mentioning the Rock. When people cycle hormones at high doses like that it ruins them instead of improves them. I mean look at all the bodybuilders that have died recently, its nuts, and the stuff very obviously kills and a lot of the times at young age. I think in low doses like TRT their could be some truth to what you said, but The Rock is not a good example.
It makes a huge difference. I was ridiculously sick. I lost 9 kilos over 2 weeks. My father in law saw me and I was told he cried half of the way home at how weak and sick I looked. Over the past 10 days I have been on the mend and using 120mg. Andriol testocaps daily, and the difference is astounding. I am still weak and thin compared to what I was pre sickness. However, I am looking more like the healthy me every day. I am 60.

My test levels were really low from ocd / anxiety. I’m 20 years old and behaviourally I’m pretty perfect with exercise/ diet/ sleep. Is 250mg/test going to be too much?
Fair to say that a lot of HRT users don't use natural methods that require consistency. People want shortcuts and I get that. But good sleep, nutrition, sunlight. movement, training and relationships can take you far. I'm no Adonis but doing my best to get it done naturally.
Natural will only take you so far. If you're in your mid 40's, a person in their 20's or 30''s will have a huge advantage over you in just about everything. If feeling good and being healthy is "cheating" I guess I'm a cheater too. It's not like I'm a combat or strength athlete. But TRT has made a night and day difference in all areas of my life. Honestly wish I had done it way sooner.
@@BigtimeJuicer Outstanding- no judgment brother. It’s not out of the realm of possibility that I would try an HRT protocol if I struggle at some stage to maintain my health and physique. So far, I remain on an improvement trajectory at age 56 by honoring my daily non-negotiables.
He gave them his doctors number as if that would allow them to all be on an even playing field and then went on to say it's a many month process, so gear up for next sober October because TRT Joe was in full effect this October
Makes me wonder, why don't they check free test levels at depressed men before prescribing antidepressants?
Virt Real stigma. You also cant come off trt without permanent suppression
@@punisher00109 Yeah, that seems to be the case. Aids like Clomid don't seem to work, according to doctors.
@@the_notorious_bas Clomid works temporarily. Once you come off, your T gradually goes back to how it was prior to Clomid therapy
@@punisher00109 Interesting, I didn't knew that. I believe it's always best to optimize your natural hormone levels first with a form of weight training, proper nutrition and enough sleep. Using gels or getting injections for the rest of your life is no joke.

I’m 34 been on trt 6 months. Off depression and anxiety meds and in the best shape of my life and i was a college athlete.
Can I talk to you about TRT personally?
It is the god chemical isn’t it?
my man, just started at 31. 45 days in, never felt better in my life.
Dawood Musa just do it
@Tyson MMA my situation is complex, very complex. if you still feel good than yes of course. pretty sure my problem is genetic, my androgen receptors do not process testosterone correctly. there still isn't enough research on this. no doctor would even touch me, had to find a specialist, but it cured all of my symptoms. willing to take the risk.
34 and just started TRT two months ago. Ive lost 25lbs, bike 8miles a day, my depression is almost completely gone, I’m in control of my anxiety, feel more motivated . I probably needed it when I was in my 20s but my doctors just gave me anti anxiety or anti depressants.
I needed it when I was 26 my test levels were below 280.. I just started trt at 28
Do you mind me asking how you got started, meaning what type of Dr did you see? Thanks
@@swisstrader I spoke to my primary care doctor. I told her about all my symptoms and if I could get a blood test to check my levels. Sure enough T was low. I’m still losing weight, but the muscle I have put on since this post has been significant. Just ask your doctor to test your levels, that’s step 1. Good luck!
@@konradzach4326 how’s it been helping so far?
@@swisstrader If you try and go through your primary care doctor, they will only treat you if you are below the recommended levels however, if you go to a anti aging clinic they will treat your symptoms of low t even if its not "clinically low". Not hard to get unless you're naturally high and or, have really bad health issues (I.E. prostate, thyroid, etc.)

@@patrickparson9628 100% bullshit
@@patrickparson9628 That's not true at all. A healthy woman doesn't even have half of the testosterone of a healthy man.
Hell, even a woman with relatively high testosterone won't have as much as a man with lower levels of T.
Testosterone is produced in men by the testicles. Women produce testosterone, but NOWHERE NEAR at the levels that a man with semi-functional balls do.
If women had the same levels, they would have facial hair, bone density, and muscle mass at the same levels as men. They would also cease to menstruate and loss their fertility. Whereas high testosterone make men more fertile.

Lower testosterone in younger adults is becoming more common.
It's because the chemicals in plastic affect hormone levels. Obviously plastic is everywhere. Most food comes packaged in plastic. Medicines, vitamins, soaps, shampoos, etc.
Even if you actually avoid plastics you will still get them in your system.
Your good hormones will be lower than they should be.
TRT will raise those hormones to healthy levels.

I had my first TRT appointment last month and first blood test last week, and everything Joe is saying is true. The medical advisor kept asking me about sleep, weed and booze. He said don’t bother with TRT if I smoke weed because marijuana devastates Testosterone in men.
That’s so crazy bro..
I’m smoke weed occasionally so I didn’t think it would effect me but I smoked and tried to get some abs I couldn’t I’m like this defeats the purpose !!! 🤦🏿♂️
Who did you go to about using trt? Your regular dr?
Well we know that's bullshit cuz Joe Rogan smokes a shit ton of weed and so do other people on trt
Im calling bull shit on the marijuana. I smoked daily for almost 10 years and at the same time i had one of the best natural physics in my city.
TRT changed my life. I was 109 pounds at 33. I'm 35 and 161 and happy. Deca changed my life too. I wish I did it sooner. It was all because of a 2 min conversation with my doctor. We were talking about getting therapy to help me with life and in conversation I said "It's like the testosterone was beaten and screamed/yelled out of me when I was a child" .... Turns out there is something called "Cortisol" in my blood that kept me in survival mode.

I've never been in any competitive sports, but always enjoyed nutrition, clean living, and keeping up on good nutrition. I am really focused and aware of hormone levels and balance. I'm gonna be 58 years old in April; many say I look 10 years younger. I can't really remember how great I felt when I was in my 20s, but sometimes, do to my lack of nutritional knowledge and overtraining at the time, I had some pretty low and unenergetic times. If I remember correctly, I actually feel better now than I did in my 20s. That could be owed to the fact that I am very health conscious and know a hell of a lot about nutrition and exercise. I'm not a huge guy, but look great for a person who only uses nutrition, sleep, stress management, and exercise with proper recuperation between work outs. I gauge my hormone levels on sex drive and morning wood.
Things that I have noticed in age: Sex drive can change drastically from week to week due to sleep and/or stress levels. When I was younger, it didn't matter. When I went through a devastating life issue, I lost all sex drive for two or three months; that would never happen if I was 20 yrs old. I have to eat properly to keep my sex drive up. Raw vegetables and "root" type plants are a requirement for higher hormones; not so at 20 yrs old.
I am a firm believer in keeping things natural. I have always maintained my physique. In the last 3 years I have been working out and trying to gain muscle. Although I have always gained very slowly, no matter what age, I am able to gain about 1 lb to 2lb per year lately which is added to lagging areas. I owe this to a very strict diet.
In short, I like to do what I can while I am able to do it naturally. When I stop being able to naturally enjoy the pleasures of sex, and I start feeling the effects of a low hormonal level, at that time I would definitely look at TRT. I feel that putting it off for as long as possible is the better way to go. I just feel that there is so much you can do with your lifestyle to keep your hormone levels high and balanced.
I fukng love these podcasts. You have some great guests that have awesome information.
To put this into further perspective the age gap between Joe Rogan and Joey Diaz is only 5 yrs... But its like Joe is talking to a friends dad in the vid

Well also to be fair, informed, consistent & honest.....Joey Diaz since he was an urban grade school kid was fkin his body up HARD. He was lookinglike a rough 65 till around 2005.

it's just the beginning my friend
I was not feeling great at start, had unstable levels and high e2. Now it's stable tho and its great
Are you using HCG or just testosterone
How you feel now?
Women get hormone therapy in menopause so nothing wrong with older men get replenished
Joe man I totally agree with you. I am in my early 40’s and since this coronavirus shit I have quit smoking and cut back on the drinking and I feel great. You got do the process of elimination before committing to TRT. I am glad you explained that to your audience and the stigma that comes with it. See that folks is responsible broadcasting. Kudos Joe 👍
You have to train properly as well. Lifting heavy and training to failure often is a recipe for messed-up joints, adrenal and CNS fatigue, and burnout.
@@optimalreadiness thats why i do bodyweight. So i can go.till failure. Good luck folks
@@heuvelke1065 Right on. Def safer for sure but I would recommend avoiding failure and increasing your training frequency for each muscle group and you may be surprised at the results. Try it out for 4 weeks and see what you think.
@@corbinc4344 agreed
After 10 years of only cardio and push-ups, got tested. Total Test 340, free test 7.5. Got on a protocol 6 weeks ago of 200mg of test, 50IU HCG and a aromatase inhibitor. Unreal. Lifting again.
I'm going through this now . Very low. Looking for over the counter alternatives. Doctors seem too interested hence the reason I'm looking
Success 👍 I also think you should talk more about being super careful around the sciatic nerve though. 🙏 Putting more emphasis on how to find the safe area by putting ur hands on ur hips naturally and then two finger widths below where the thumb tip sits
Joe " I'll hook you up with a doctor" rogan
Sounds shady
The stigma thing is real, I am on trt at the age of 29 and I felt bad or less man. Now that my levels are normal I am unstoppable, this message should be said more often.
I just started it today at 28 y/o, but I've been in the process of diagnosis for 3 years (NHS is slow).
I'm looking forward to seeing how it affects me, on 140mg per week.
How has it made things different for you? I’m just starting to hear about this
@@dueceslade I am having boners all day long, I can think faster (no mental fog), gym workouts are easier now. My confidence is boosted.
C'mon dude, 29? You still a young man. Shouldn't do that
@@tonyiommi2380 I am not on trt by decision... my test was low all the time, changed diet, did exercise... all the things but thry didnt go up.
I started trt for 8 months and it’s been amazing. I feel like I’m in my 20s again. I’m 31
Do you have a social account I can ask you some questions on? I'm 30 and will get on T soon
@@guy.gamboa6359 no. I also like taking crystal meth at the same time to increase focus.
I am 56 and i'm on testosterone replacement therapy.For those who think it is dangerous and unhealthy your clueless,Having low testosterone can have terrible health effects along with low testosterone is high estrogen which can and will cause a whole lot of issues.I go through a doctor and i get blood work every 6 to 10 weeks.
Just about to go on TRT due to effects from a pituitary tumour, can’t wait! Reading your comment is helpful, cheers pal 👍
No problem please tell me how you feel when you get on it.
Is TRT expensive?
Unfortunately my insurance didn't cover it so I had to go thru a very good clinic and I pay 340 every 10 weeks for my testosterone hcg and arimidex its not that bad.I was probably better off any because a reg doctor isn't to verse on trt most think being at 200 to 300 ngl is ok.These primary doctors are a joke.
Which doctor do you go through?
I feel fucking great Joe!!! Love TRT
I’ve been waiting sooooo long for someone to bring this up to Joe that this wasn’t fair
TRT is not all unicorns and rainbows.
Testosterone therapy has various risks, including:
1) Worsening sleep apnea - a potentially serious sleep disorder in which breathing repeatedly stops and starts.
2) Causing acne or other skin reactions.
3) Stimulating noncancerous growth of the prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia) and growth of existing prostate cancer.
4) Enlarging breasts.
5) Limiting sperm production or causing testicles to shrink.
6) Stimulating too much red blood cell production, which contributes to the increased risk of forming a blood clot. A clot could break loose, travel through your bloodstream and lodge in your lungs, blocking blood flow (pulmonary embolism).
7) Hair loss
Just started TRT today. I'm 29 about to be 30 and my levels were 499. Not super low, but back about 5 years ago they were at 987. I was in amazing shape and could burn fat like no other. It's been taking me 3 days to recover from workouts when I used to go 2 on 1 off. Weight gain and sleepless nights. Hoping for the best! Only trying to get my levels back up to that 1000 mark.
update us in a month king
I'm on week 4, remind me here in a bit and I'll update. So far feel pretty good, higher energy and better mood. Most trt benefits take 3-12 months to really kick in.
@@theyodayouseek are there any long term side effects ??
What’s the update? Got me thinking of jumping on it
Dang I need to do see a doctor huh Im about to be 30
Coffee has helped me tremendously
Any good TRT Sources?
sex and meat, go run and squat watch saving private ryan other shit...
Your doctor
Thanks for the info guys
Yes it saved me from multiple scerosis to the point it seemed I never had anything wrong felt great and alive ,now I gotta work on going to remission again ...
Joe's right it changed my life. 55 years feel young again . its a life deal for me.
But yet no one responded to you in two years, you could be dead now for all we know lol - Why is that NO ONE simply tells others what website to go too and how much to take? That's why I believe many of these comments are bull crap or Ai. lol
There's a big difference in TRT and bodybuilder's TRT.
Yes, everything he said!!! And I am feeling 70% better after only 1.5 months
That's what the trt does for me, it helps me be a healthy man so that way I keep my masculinity intact
Jo is straight up telling the truth. I am not on TRT but have been in the past. And the amount of energy was astronomical, not to mention my body looked so much better.
Why did you stop trt then ?
@@angerisdiscipline3913 yes why did you stop?
"It helps" ? That's a bit of an understatement
When taking oral TRT what is the daily dosage in mg to build muscle fast and when is best time of day to take daily 👍💯
I did trt twice for 6 ish months, it messed up my cholesterol levels and gave me heart problems. Being off of it, and still being physically active, I feel alot better. I had to raise my endurance and be smarter about my training, but now I feel great. It's not for everyone, but doing enough exercise regularly and eating a decent diet is all you really need. I recently did blood tests, and my natural test levels had increased from just being more active.
sounds like you didn't need it. Why did you start taking it to begin with ? To get jacked ?
@willg37 I was dealing with symptoms of fatigue, depression and the like. I got my test checked out and it was low, below average, I think 250. I got on it and it raised my t to about 550-600. But the side effects for me were bad after an while, and got off of it. I work a psychical job, so having energy after work was a bit of an issue. But, now I just push through it, make myself be active after work, and I enjoy it now.
@@fleshhammer656 We live in a society wherein most people have a fast food mentality. Most want it quick and instant.
Exercising consistently, eating very healthy and supplementing certain nutrients in a semi random, but semi consistent way, losing fat (but not too much), meditating and learning other ways to deal with stress and anger, and sleeping better consistently, will in combo help most men to naturally regain higher levels of T. (maybe also avoiding plastic use and some other things?).
But that is hard to do when you area already low T. I'm in my mid 40's and definitely feeling lower T. I don't want to go on TRT because it is expensive (especially if you don't have insurance), potentially health affecting in a negative sense (if you're not dosed right etc), and most importantly--if you're not taking other things, it shuts down your natural production.
I've decided to try kiss peptin for a little while to see if it helps. It avoids a lot of the potential negative side effects, and is much, much lower cost. I can buy 5 mg for around 50 dollars, and at my weight, that will last me almost 8 months (at twice a week injections, which I plan to start at, and increase to 3 if only needed). But I don't plan to take it that long anyways. I just want to try it for the next few months during the winter/early spring, as I tend to have higher T and feel better from mid spring to early fall period (some of that is likely greater sun exposure and being more active).
I could stand to lose 30lbs or so. I feel like once I lose that weight, while exercising more consistently and getting better sleep, a lot of lower T issues of lower energy/motivation will correct itself more naturally, and I won't need to be on anything long term. I really don't want to be dependent on something outside of myself. I have the diet part down already. I eat really healthy consistently. I have the stress management mostly down. Just need to work on the exercise and better sleep more.
My throat literally starts itching everytime I hear Joey's voice
Joe is absolutely right, I'm on TRT for the last 7 months and I feel so good, when I stopped it, I felt like 70-80 years old man, joint pain, constantly tired, zero energy, high blood pressure, zero sex drive. But before you start, do all tests first 👌
How old are you?
The trt lowered your blood pressure? What about cholesterol ?
@@krayziejerry I'm 42
@@krayziejerry my blood pressure went down on TRT ,my cholesterol is normal but it all depends what you eat , testosterone can increase bad cholesterol ,but I'm taking very low doses of test which is 0.3 (90mg of test) every 10 days
Brk please help I'm 27 and my total test came back at 390, my uncle which is 55 had 520 total test higher higher me and I sleep good no drugs work out 5 times a week
41.5 and just started. Hell yes it makes a difference and it’s awesome.
I think a lot of successful men have used testosterone and it’s a big reason they’re where they are. The rock is a good example. I think it not just helps the body but the mind, and helps with confidence. I’ve seen a lot of dudes on testosterone that seem to have a mental edge.
Yeah, but he's on a dangerous level of steroids at his size. What your saying is dangerous mentioning the Rock. When people cycle hormones at high doses like that it ruins them instead of improves them. I mean look at all the bodybuilders that have died recently, its nuts, and the stuff very obviously kills and a lot of the times at young age. I think in low doses like TRT their could be some truth to what you said, but The Rock is not a good example.
It makes a huge difference. I was ridiculously sick. I lost 9 kilos over 2 weeks. My father in law saw me and I was told he cried half of the way home at how weak and sick I looked. Over the past 10 days I have been on the mend and using 120mg. Andriol testocaps daily, and the difference is astounding. I am still weak and thin compared to what I was pre sickness. However, I am looking more like the healthy me every day. I am 60.
How are you doing now, Chris?
@@ZenCenterUpaya Thanks for the concern. I am 100%. Only drag is I cannot augment my body with the testosterone. As I have returned to the US and we are not allowed to do what we want with our bodies. We have to get a doctor's prescription. Madness.. As I am fit, they say "no need." I wish all the best for you and yours.
@@chrisweidner4768 bro, just go to a different doctor or look for an online TRT clinic. It shouldnt be that hard to find someone who will prescribe it to you.
@@ZenCenterUpayaI’m 65 and doing great. Back in the USA and taking care of my dad. It’s disappointing because the VA won’t let me take anything. Saying my natural level is fine/ sigh. This is a frustration living in the USA. We don’t have access to things that are available globally to enhance the quality of life. Wishing you the best.
All true. I was below 300 and now am at normal levels. Body feels amazing... confident, strong, deeper sleep, no depression or low mood, no grumps, improved libido... list goes on. Sucks people who are not low abuse it for those that need it to live. It is what it is.
I’ve been taking alot of zinc and magnesium with boron lately and it really gave my testosterone a boost too.. i’m still 28 but i felt like a 50 year old last 3 years. I’ve been megadosing on b-vitamins and minerals and it helped ALOT.
What are your levels now? I'm around 300 and I feel poopy.
Started my trt yesterday 💪👌
Im only taking over the shelf test and even that makes a difference
Low T is more than just a quality of life issue. It can actually lead to increased risk of heart disease, stroke, osteoporosis, ED, and depression.
MS No it’s not
I finally figured out why I look up to Joe Rogan so damn much! he is the highest type of functioning addict...and I LOVE IT!! There’s still hope! This dude loves mind and body altering drugs almost as much as me! God bless this man!
He's not an addict at all. He's like the opposite of an addict. He might be addicted to working out but so am I. That's usually a good thing.
Just started and i feel better already. Sleeping better and not as exhausted.
My test levels were really low from ocd / anxiety. I’m 20 years old and behaviourally I’m pretty perfect with exercise/ diet/ sleep. Is 250mg/test going to be too much?
Careful TRT also accelerates prostrate cancer growth.
I'm 31 n been on trt since 23
Did your hairline change at all ?
I started at 33... was dragging around, terrible sleep... 212 ng/dl. The best thing i have ever done
Fair to say that a lot of HRT users don't use natural methods that require consistency. People want shortcuts and I get that. But good sleep, nutrition, sunlight. movement, training and relationships can take you far. I'm no Adonis but doing my best to get it done naturally.
Me too
What if you already do all that and your T is below 250? It won't matter at all.....
@@keithgardner4916 Indeed. You noticed that no one responded. lol
Natural will only take you so far. If you're in your mid 40's, a person in their 20's or 30''s will have a huge advantage over you in just about everything. If feeling good and being healthy is "cheating" I guess I'm a cheater too. It's not like I'm a combat or strength athlete. But TRT has made a night and day difference in all areas of my life. Honestly wish I had done it way sooner.
@@BigtimeJuicer Outstanding- no judgment brother. It’s not out of the realm of possibility that I would try an HRT protocol if I struggle at some stage to maintain my health and physique. So far, I remain on an improvement trajectory at age 56 by honoring my daily non-negotiables.
He gave them his doctors number as if that would allow them to all be on an even playing field and then went on to say it's a many month process, so gear up for next sober October because TRT Joe was in full effect this October
