      @@misteratoz100% on point. I’ve defended Derek and his doc (Hotchkis sp?) at Marek multiple times for this.. we don’t learn (nor would we need to learn for our populations) this kind of esoteric information in our training. This is the kind of knowledge only passion and experience get you. Even endo doesn’t deal with optimizing a healthy population. They’re well trained in treating pathology like DM and the like, however I’ve seen TRT done terribly by classically trained endos.. even Peter, trained in surgery, likely understands the nuances of TRT much better than the bulk of endos. Again, at no fault to them.. it just isn’t in our training.

    I am very glad that this discussion happened. I think it probably raised Dr. Attia’s awareness about the alternative health care options that are broadly used in the community as he has a very niche patient population. I am glad that he is interested in learning about strategies used for aesthetics, body building, and by many active gym goers/ fitness influencers. Derek is well aware of this world of peptides and other compounds used to improve aesthetics often under the guise of or supporting health. I respect both of their perspectives as they definitely serve different demographics with quite a bit of cross over in some areas. Thanks, guys! I am an avid fan of both of you!

Some of the topics covered here have been thought provoking about the role an excellent PT could contribute to someone who has an injury or orthopedic pain and will jump to a drug they maybe could go without in this very specific population.

    Fascinating discussion. I think I almost understood 7 minutes of it but intetesting on every level.
    I have to admit, I 'm surprised with all the talk about treatments for balding that neither of you mentioned Low Level Laser treatment. It's FDA approved and no side effects and as effective as the drugs.
    I bought an LLLT device in 2003, before FDA approval and it was one of the best purchases i ever made. It definitely works. I still use it and I still have hair. All the men on my dads side are bald. I am not.
    Anybody looking for a safe treatment for alopecia, i highly recommend it. And the earlier you start, the more hair you'll regain and keep.
    Great show!

      They didn’t touch on using cooling of the testicles and working out to increase Luteinizing hormone naturally. I have 1060 total T from cold showers and exercise. Better to bump up your hormones with environmental stimulus. Probably why the Scottish wore kilts.

    • @iblisthemage
      @iblisthemage 7 місяців тому

      @@jeffreysummers6843 You have 1060 from your genes. Excercise and other similar interventions have minor impact, much greater is (bad) food, and (bad) sleep. 1060 means nothing. My natty T was 1150 before going on TRT (M54), and I felt like shit. Bumping it to 1400 was the "ahhhh" sensation of feeling great again. I do excercise, cold, diet, sleep, yada yada.
      You (and I) just have high natural levels of T. At a certain point in time, that level will drop below your feel-good threshhold, at that point in time you will probably need a higher dose of Test than normal people. When that day comes, hopefully when you are very old: Please please start with 250 IU of HCG (daily pinning), and then add T Enanthate, daily pinning, on top of that. If your doc says T only, or T Cypionate, find a new doc. You will probably need 175mg/week +/- something, which is highish, but that is because your natty baseline is borderline supraphysical.
      Copy/paste this into your phone, and review it when the day comes. I would have sworn it would never be me. But age is a thing, and you loose 1-2% pr year, it accellerates after 50.
