    Ryan, love your channel and the information you provide. I went down the HRT route 10 years ago and aside from some sensitive nipples on occasion due to some testosterone to estrogen conversion, I felt strong, aches and pains went away, increased libido, and felt like I was 30 again. Unfortunately after several years I began experiencing episodes of Afib, having an echo cardiogram followed by 2 cardiac ablations, I was informed of enlargement in several of my heart valves. I only took very minimal therapeutic dosages and after consulting with my cardiologist who informed me that the hypertrophic affects on muscle don't discriminate and affect the heart tissue as well I chose to stop. The first 6 months really sucked, but began feeling better with time and while I miss feeling like I did when on Test, I'm playing the long game and happy to say that in a recent echo cardiogram (I'm currently 58) my heart valves have normalized in size. Not trying to rain on anyone's parade here, but there are always implications with exogenous therapies.

      Same here, however I didn't see an enlargement of my valves I acquired polycythemia Vera, which means excessive platelets. This isxa form of blood cancer. I stopped testosterone soon after being diagnosed. The Doctor informed me. This was either due to testosterone therapy or I actually have policy theme Avera, so, after testing genetic testing we found that I don't have policy theme of era but I do have excessive plate lets. I stop taking testosterone 8 years ago I still have excessive platelets which means every 3 months, I must go and have a pint of my blood removed from my body. To me its just not worth it. FWI my testosterone levels are now higher than when I started naturally. So they say once you start replacement therapy, your body loses the ability to produce it. That is not true. I have also had a vasectomy still not a problem.

    I was in a wreck at 20yrs old. By 23 my levels were 63ng/dl and tanking further to below 60ng/dl by 25. I had died on the operating table for nearly two minutes.
    My body went into freak out mode, nerve pain, depression, lazy mood swings. Then I was given TRT at 1cc of 250mg/ml every 10-12 days
    It changed my life. I felt like myself again. Upside is I don’t worry much about my estrogen levels. My body stopped producing testosterone almost completely and I use TrT to get me to baseline or slightly above.
    Sadly, attempting to speak to a female doctor in my area about TRT normally gets me eye rolls and you don’t need it. So I’ve went rouge and ordered online for years from a trusted vendor.
    Downside is I don’t get bloodwork done enough. I should but I don’t. I listen to my body. Give blood on the regular and take the same regimen my doctor had me on since 25.
    Good or bad. I got tired of not feeling like a fucking Man. Tired of doctors thinking their labs are not reliable as my levels always read 80 year old man low unless I’m on my TRT.
    I’ll keep being rouge and feeling great.

    I’ve been on TRT for almost 20 years. Started in my early 50’s. Had very low T, under 200. Started with the gels and it worked wonders for about 10 years and felt like I was back in my 30’s and got me back into the gym. I’ve worked with my primary care physician through all of this. Once the gels quit working I was off TRT for a couple of years and lost my energy and drive. I stumbled on to BioTe HRT pellets though my wife’s OBGYN. They insert the pellets in your butt under the skin. Insurance does not cover them and they are about $750 every 5 months but well worth it in my opinion. I tried TRT injections, but my PSA went sky high and the ups and downs were noticeable. Once I started pellets and my wife as well, our sex life was resurrected like we are back in our 30’s. One of the biggest positives is that it has really reduced my joint aches and pains that comes with being 66. Also give me the energy and drive to hit the gym and exercise more…..Can’t say enough good things about our experiences. All of my critical blood work is well with normal range.

      Supplements don’t need to adhere to the same regulations as foods. In the EU food labels can have an error of up to 10%. For supplements it’s up to 50%. And the EU is 1000 times more strict than the US when it comes to food regulations. This means that any supplement produced and bought in the US is most likely just BS powder

Or too beat up to work, why they need supplements.

If a doc tests your Test levels and not your E2 levels go see a better doctor. Often times they’ll get you on TRT when maybe you could’ve taken an AI to lower your estrogen and that alone would help you get your testosterone up.

I take an estrogen blocker once a week to keep it in check. Most side effects are BS. Anything that happens to your health while on trt will be blamed on trt. The last thing most doctors these days want is for you to be healthy. That doesn't make them any money. All the healthiest people I know are on trt, even my wife. All have blood work to prove it.

      @@jbgtly4930 It sounds like you found a regimen that works well for you, and great that you are keeping a close eye on things with regular blood work. It's funny how our bodies can sometimes throw us a curveball, like yours with the conversion to estrogen. I had a similar challenge and started on a 200mg dose, but my body was also converting too much of it to estrogen. My doctor was proactive about it, and she gradually lowered the dose, tweaking it week by week, and then checking the levels. Eventually, we dialed it in perfectly to 125mg, which has become my sweet spot.
      It's important to tackle these treatments with a personalized approach since everyone's body chemistry is unique. The side effects can indeed be overemphasized at times, and it’s key to find a medical professional who understands the balance between treatment benefits and potential risks.

Please be mindful that Cypionate if that is what you're on will be active for 2wks in your system. At wk 2 it will be around half or 2/3rds of the original dose and tapering.
      So what no one is noticing is that of you took 200mg of Test on Monday. Then next week take another 200mg. You're now actually at 300mg. You may want to try backing your dose down to find your sweet spot. Everyone responds differently to Testosterone. Some need more while some can use less.

    My test is half my friends and I’m stronger than him by a lot and we both lift. If you don’t have clinical symptoms of low T - there are massive CVD risks to supplementing with T. But also, who doesn’t like DonG Water. I’d also be shocked if most people going to doctors for T have clinical symptoms. Most on social media do it for aesthetic goals. Just consider LDL and CVD risk jumps by doing that.

    • @DanielTanios
      @DanielTanios Před 3 měsíci

      I don't think the CVD risks are massive for therapeutic dosages. If the bloodwork starts to go awry, it's fairly straightforward to manage hypertension, lipid derangement and excessive heart signalling (if dudes decide exogenous test is worth copping the added pharmacological load).
      The real issue is that symptomatic dudes with low T and no underlying medical condition that could explain it are willing to shut down endogenous production instead of trying to figure out the root cause. Maybe that's understandable when you have the medical profession vacillating between "200ng/dL is fine" and "nah who needs a sleep study, here's 150mg of Test"? But still, it just beggars belief that so many men would have such profoundly insufficient androgen signalling that TRT is the only option for symptomatic relief. 🤷
