Steroids greatly boosted my fitness progress, enabling me to surpass previous milestones and achieve results more quickly. Their effectiveness depends on incorporating them wisely within a carefully designed regimen that prioritizes both growth and well-being.
I've been on TRT for about 8 months now and I can say at least for me it's changed my life. So many physical and emotional issues that this has changed. It has really helped. Plus changing my whole lifestyle, diet and exercise. I was 285, now I'm 235. I feel amazing.
Totally agree. Steroids helped me recover faster and maintain muscle mass, especially during intense training or after injury. It's amazing how they can support bone health as well, which is crucial for people with conditions like osteoporosis.
There’s no doubt to the benefits of steroids. Honestly, it has greatly impacted my life. It played a major role in achieving my desired physique. People should learn not to abuse these substances and act like they are all bad.

I cycle on and off HCG. usually around 3 months on, 1 month off. I've been doing this for 3 years while on trt and it seems to still work well. By the end of the month off, there is noticeable shrinkage on my testies, but once I go back on they increase in size very quickly and there is a very noticeable increase in ejaculate volume again.

Change your weekly routine to administration on Monday morning and Thursday evening. Don’t forget to take half of the normal amount on each day. Hard to say if you will notice or what you will notice. I think the standard timeframe for your body to adapt and effectively maintain the steady stream is 4-5 weeks. I changed my days form M, T to M,W,F Each shot is less so I noticed the spikes have gone away. That’s the goal, nice and steady levels.
I have BPH and just had a relatively new procedure called prostate artery embolism (PAE). Absolutely wonderful and painless. They go through the wrist not the penis. You’re awake the entire time and the results are amazing.
@@shred9475 everything is better, better sleep, better libido, i’m so blown away at how good this came out. Thank God i discovered this before i had one of the other treatments my urologist was offering.
She's the pain with testicular atrophy go away after a while? How common is gyno with a normal/low TRT dose? I was only on trt for 3 weeks so i don't know the full story yet I plan to try again when i can afford it
Few months in doc prescribed test. Switching to high quality UGL for 15% what my clinic is charging. Trying to be as educated and responsible as I can. Thank you for all you do. Couldn’t do this as safely without you
there are a few good UGL s out there . but there is only one problem unless they been tested for heavy metals and some of them are were the smaller ones i dont trust . and some og these UGL s even have legit labs in other countries . be safe and im doing same thing .and i love this doctor he is real good and there many crappy doctors that just dont understand this stuff
Not true. But yes it does affect your fertility. TRT is for guys out of Their prime tho. I’m 28 and I already have 3 kids… this stuff isn’t for 20 year olds
@IELTSWritingPrep trt or higher doses. At first it improved my sex drive but then it went down. I believe it was estrogen related, i could never get my estrogen at the right level, ais would instantly drop it to zero so i had to figure a dosing schedual but still had a lower sex drive, but at least i could get it up after not being able to. I then introduced hcg and have been able to go multiple times a day ever since with no ed issues and a very high sex drive.
@@spunkflunk Amazing! I do 5000 IUs HCG mono and my E2 reaches 60. I can't imagine what it'd be like with Test too. For whatever reason, I function best when my E2 is very low, around 11, which is considered bad for libido and psychological function. I think a lot of this differs from person to person.
@3:41 I think your screen shot is wrong. HCG is commonly dosed as IUs, not micrograms. One milligram of HCG is estimated to be about 9.3 IUs per MG. Even when converted microgram dosing, it would be way too low.
I'm running TRT. I'm 35. I have run cycles before and am now running test cyp every 7 days. I've tried 100mg, 125, 150mg, 200mg and my sex drive is still very low. Has anybody else been having this issue? I remember running cycles years ago and feeling very horny when I was blasting and my libido was still good when cruising on test at around 250mg per week. I don't think it's my estrogen. I've tried Armidex at 0.5 twice a week. I've tried 0.25mg eod and once per week. Can anyone offer any advice/experience? Thank you in advance.
Either u let your estrogen get too high or too low. Arimidex is very strong. U said u dont think so. This means u dont do bloodwork. Do 100mg twice a week for 4 weeks with no arimidex. Do bloodwk the morning of your second shot. Dont do your shot until u did bloodwk. See how u feel and go off that number. Retest every 2-4 weeks until u get dialed in. I take .50mg of arimidex every 2 weeks. This is what works for me. Keeps my estrogen around 30.
@@frankr2921 Thank you for your detailed reply. I shall give this a go. I believe my Estrogen was too low so I will lower the Test dosage but also lower the A.I. Thanks again.
It's pretty easy to monitor your heart rate and O2 level these days. Tons of little devices that do it. Get yourself a little "O2 Ring" that you can wear at night. Learn to see the trends. There are obvious differences between a good nights sleep and a bad one. I fought my way off CPAP by getting my nose and teeth fixed. A little TST ain't going to bother me! :)
Thoughts. My test was at 349 at 39 years old. Doctor me on 160mg a week. Good amount or would you recommend more. I lift weights 6 days a week and mma in afternoons. Thoughts or advice
What about putting 20 years old man on trt? My natural lh and fsh levels are near the down range, test level 390. Never taken any steroids before. I take care of my sleep quality, supplementation d3 omega etc, i dont use any drugs, alcohol hardly ever, healthy build im not fat tub like others with low t. I dont know what is going on so i consider take this stuff in the near future..

Has anyone experimented with topical aromatase inhibiters for gyno? Curious to see if anyone has been able to reduce the size of the gyno while mitigating the unwanted side effects of low estrogen.
Using an AI just for gyno is silly. You're best to use nolva if you have e2 positive gyno. Depends if it is e2 causing the gyno or something like progestin
R there any dangers being on TRT age 60..I'm in good health..if my testicle shut down is there a danger of them never working again...what is a low level of testosterone..thanku sorry if I'm asking too much
Great info as always. I wish you'd script your videos as you have a tendency to ramble which makes it a little hard to follow at times. I love the subdued tone of this video! 👌
I have used Testosterone over the past 10 years. In the last 2 years I have not used any. Feeling flat and low did bloods and was diagnosed with secondary hypogonadism. The problem is when I started with test enanthate 250mg once a month I experienced severe bloating and a very uncomfortable gut. As soon as I'm done eating I would get very uncomfortable and need ed to use the loo. Moved over to test cypionate, 50mg once a week. Same result. It's almost as though I can't tolerate it internally. I have chatted to my endocrinologist and few other well versed people however nobody seems to understand why or how this happens. Any feedback would be highly appreciated.....🙏
No, I would make some adjustments but I can't say as I don't know your age, diet and stress levels, I would do whatever possible to get your levels back up first naturally and after 3 months test again.
I just got my testosterone test back and it was just through a general practitioner. Total is 272 and free is 72.6. Im 5' 11", 175 pounds and around 18 percent body fat. Im new to this. That with me taking TongkatAli. Im pretty sure that is low. What are my options? What should i ask my doctor?
Had sleep test same time as my labs for low T. Cpap machine was 60%-70% for me feeling better and TRT would be 30-40%. Sleep test is a must just like bloodwork on TRT every 3-4months.
@10:40 he is so right. Instead of going to Dr. Mordcai Blau in NY, I went to a general Dr. outside of Philly. I assumed getting the gland taken out and al little bit of lipo wouldn't be a big deal. Besides, he did great work on a female I know who had a mommy makeover. Well, that was dumb. After the first surgery, the glands were out and my chest wasn't too bad. However, we decided to go back at it again to do a little more lipo. There was too much tissue taken out the second time and 5 years later I am left with dents in my chest. I typically have to point this out to people, but to me, its very noticeable. Plus, IMO the overall appears of the chest is now worse than it was with gyno. Don't cheap out. Go to someone. like Dr. Blau in NY who specializes in these sort of things. I have since moved from PA to Florida and am hoping to someone day find somewhere down here who can help.
Adding HCG for me did absolutely nothing in terms of fertility I went from a count of 75 million per ml to 0000.35 per ml and that’s on 120mg test per week and 1000iu HCG twice per week
Give it a try. Go off how you feel and see if it works out. I do a blast once a year and also play around with my normal trt dosage. When I take more test i can’t stop thinking about sex. It’s both fun and bad, distracting me nonstop. So for me, I found going down to a amount where I feel regularly horny and normal energy is great. To low and I don’t feel like myself, that’s when you’ll know it’s to low.
I've personally found 200mg of primo with only 75mg of test a week works better as a cruising stack or alternative hormone replacement than pure TRT at 150, 200 or even 250mg test. I also really liked complimenting it with Hdrol when it existed at 50mg a day, which was the prohormone version of Tbol, it felt so complete and I had amazing blood markers with and with out hdrol, but the hdrol was the iceing on the cake.
@quantumfx2677 you'll love it, no oily skin, no thinning hair, equel recovery in the gym as 250mg of test but you'll have a little bit harder of a look, blood markers are equally as good as on TRT, sex drive is about the same a 200mg test but the Hdrol will put it right up there on what 250mg would give you and can provide a little better pump in the gym (keep in mind it has to be hdrol for the added libido boost and not to tbol, don't ask why tbol is not as good at that but it's not, maybe hdrol is a little more androgenic than tbol before conversion or maybe it's just more activating in the brain). If you just want the same extra added little pump and recovery enhancement tbol at 10mg is the same as 50 hdrol. It's hard to find real hdrol now though, it was stupidly banned in most countries despite being a very mild safe compound based on an already very mild safe compound.
I wish i could afford to see you dr in some ways i cant afford not too. Always great content lets me know what im in for just started first cycle 200mg testosterone cypionate and 300mg Decca a week deca did wonders for my shoulder.
Can I have been on a TRT dose for years on end and then get wifey pregnant after that? Or is that a pipe dream? I see Ronnie Coleman and Dorian Yates have kids and they clearly were blasting for years, so it must be possible at least in some cases.
My tinnitus started shortly after starting trt. Ear md said unrelated, but I'm not convinced. For me, the benefits of trt outweigh the negative of tinnitus.

Hello Doctor, Would like to use your services. I am 69 yr old male. 6 ft 2. 275 pounds. I have all the classic signs of low T. My recent blood work showed low free testosterone and low sex binding hormone. The other 2 testosterone levels were normal but low range. My recent coronay calcium score was 900 and my cardiologist increased my creator from 5 mg a day to 10 mg a day and said continue taking my baby aspirin. That was all he said. I immediately changed my diet in an effort to hopefully reduce my calcium. I have been taking vitamin d3 and k2 for years. I also have sleep apnea and the a cpap machine every night. Where do I go from here sir? Thank you . Lenny Aguiar New Bedford, Massachusetts.
Great information Doc, I'm in late 40's and last year i took 4 different types of DHT orals , Winstrol / Proviron / Anadrol / Anavar at high doses and it totally enlarged my prostate after 10 days and i was peeing 4/5 times a night, i realized my mistake and stopped taking them all and things started to improve after about 3/4 weeks
If your gonna go on trt and want to maintain fertility I highly suggest you freeze sperm before starting trt. HCG may or may not work so not worth the chance.
Keeping me thinking. I dabbled In the late 80s ,D bol. Anadarko Sus 250. I'm 58. I've been on test from Dr for 9 yrs. Nuts are gone ,erections are great. I'm 180 all maintenance. Too scared to fo heavy cycles back in the day ,I competed In ANBC. natty guys ,yeah right. Always blood work. Every 6months

Breast cancer in men has increased at a higher rate than women over the last decade. Not that there are more men than women, but the rate is increasing and is higher than women. Might be good to look into that.
I know this guy never replies in the comments which is a big drawback to his channel (as great as he is) but ill ask anyway. Doc you said you have been on test for decades, how are you mitigating the high hematocrit/ hemoglobin numbers that come with that? Donating blood on seems to bring the numbers down slightly for me..

The testicular atrophy part is disturbing. But something not mentioned here is water retention, it's brutal. As is low semen volume per ejaculation too. Anyway to cope with that too?
I've.just in prescribed 40mg sachet testogel , I thought great as will help as I get older . I'm 51 and always worked out so thought this is perfect . As my test levels were low , but after listening to the Doc it doesn't sound so good and maybe should just stick to low test .
I’ve been in TRT for 2 years and still produce a lot of sperm. Does that mean I’m not “shut down” and could still have kids? Stilly question but just wondering if being shut down means nothing comes out.
Eventually you might have very little to no sperm in an ejaculation. If normal prostate you still have seminal fluid. Depends on how old you are. I know this is an individual kind of thing, but if you stay on TRT for at least 5-6 years that’s when you might notice reduction in sperm production. This happened to me, but I am 73 and it took six years to have this happen. I have been on for 6-7 years.
I’ve been on testosterone since September can I just quite it? I’m not sure if I can take this the rest of my life. The doctor said I should take it cause my testosterone it is very low and I’m in risk of heart attack! I don’t know what’s your opinion?
Most gp's arent doin shit and really dont know shit in my experience and thats across the board. Not just for test. Things have changed so much in the past 10yrs its like they need to go back to school. My opinion
They are learning to be that way and do it that way AT school. University's especially in the United Sheeps of America are all part of the for dollar/profit system these days, unfortunately. They and the sick care system and the insurance companies and big pharma do not care about you or me. Only keeping us breathing just enough to be able to open our wallets. We are all on our own.

@@rockwell7043 I read about it too but can it go up 4x? Sounds unrealistic
It’s all the hormones in the meat
Think I’ll just improve my diet and exercise.
I'm on250 test once a week. I believe I have estradiol high. Thinking of micro dosage. How long do I need to wait for an effect ??
Change your weekly routine to administration on Monday morning and Thursday evening.
Don’t forget to take half of the normal amount on each day.
Hard to say if you will notice or what you will notice. I think the standard timeframe for your body to adapt and effectively maintain the steady stream is 4-5 weeks.
I changed my days form M, T to M,W,F
Each shot is less so I noticed the spikes have gone away. That’s the goal, nice and steady levels.
@@WardoUSA thank you
I have BPH and just had a relatively new procedure called prostate artery embolism (PAE). Absolutely wonderful and painless. They go through the wrist not the penis. You’re awake the entire time and the results are amazing.
Great info. Looking forward for the procedure to reach Denmark, hopefully in the next decade
Hmm.. I'll have to look that up. Thanks
are your ejaculations still normal?
@@shred9475 everything is better, better sleep, better libido, i’m so blown away at how good this came out. Thank God i discovered this before i had one of the other treatments my urologist was offering.
For the Danes out there: the procedure has reached Denmark.
How is the standard treatment for middle age male, normal T but low free T, Estrogen at the higher end, not obese, good diet, low T symptoms?
She's the pain with testicular atrophy go away after a while?
How common is gyno with a normal/low TRT dose?
I was only on trt for 3 weeks so i don't know the full story yet
I plan to try again when i can afford it
Few months in doc prescribed test. Switching to high quality UGL for 15% what my clinic is charging. Trying to be as educated and responsible as I can. Thank you for all you do. Couldn’t do this as safely without you
there are a few good UGL s out there . but there is only one problem unless they been tested for heavy metals and some of them are were the smaller ones i dont trust . and some og these UGL s even have legit labs in other countries . be safe and im doing same thing .and i love this doctor he is real good and there many crappy doctors that just dont understand this stuff
I love sustanon you can’t get it here UGL is the way to go imo.. all these clinics are just peddlers that way over charge

Not true. But yes it does affect your fertility. TRT is for guys out of
Their prime tho. I’m 28 and I already have 3 kids… this stuff isn’t for 20 year olds
Heart disease and low dose test thoughts? Just want to harden up.
I never had a good sex drive on test, but after adding hcg its been amazing
On trt or mono?
@IELTSWritingPrep trt or higher doses. At first it improved my sex drive but then it went down. I believe it was estrogen related, i could never get my estrogen at the right level, ais would instantly drop it to zero so i had to figure a dosing schedual but still had a lower sex drive, but at least i could get it up after not being able to. I then introduced hcg and have been able to go multiple times a day ever since with no ed issues and a very high sex drive.
@@spunkflunk Amazing! I do 5000 IUs HCG mono and my E2 reaches 60. I can't imagine what it'd be like with Test too. For whatever reason, I function best when my E2 is very low, around 11, which is considered bad for libido and psychological function. I think a lot of this differs from person to person.
What's your protocol?
@3:41 I think your screen shot is wrong. HCG is commonly dosed as IUs, not micrograms. One milligram of HCG is estimated to be about 9.3 IUs per MG. Even when converted microgram dosing, it would be way too low.
I'm running TRT. I'm 35. I have run cycles before and am now running test cyp every 7 days. I've tried 100mg, 125, 150mg, 200mg and my sex drive is still very low. Has anybody else been having this issue? I remember running cycles years ago and feeling very horny when I was blasting and my libido was still good when cruising on test at around 250mg per week. I don't think it's my estrogen. I've tried Armidex at 0.5 twice a week. I've tried 0.25mg eod and once per week. Can anyone offer any advice/experience? Thank you in advance.
Either u let your estrogen get too high or too low. Arimidex is very strong. U said u dont think so. This means u dont do bloodwork. Do 100mg twice a week for 4 weeks with no arimidex. Do bloodwk the morning of your second shot. Dont do your shot until u did bloodwk. See how u feel and go off that number. Retest every 2-4 weeks until u get dialed in. I take .50mg of arimidex every 2 weeks. This is what works for me. Keeps my estrogen around 30.
@@frankr2921 Thank you for your detailed reply. I shall give this a go. I believe my Estrogen was too low so I will lower the Test dosage but also lower the A.I. Thanks again.
It's pretty easy to monitor your heart rate and O2 level these days. Tons of little devices that do it. Get yourself a little "O2 Ring" that you can wear at night. Learn to see the trends. There are obvious differences between a good nights sleep and a bad one. I fought my way off CPAP by getting my nose and teeth fixed. A little TST ain't going to bother me! :)
I'm 69 where can I find a dr in cebu philippines that will give me trt
Thoughts. My test was at 349 at 39 years old. Doctor me on 160mg a week. Good amount or would you recommend more. I lift weights 6 days a week and mma in afternoons. Thoughts or advice
Training too much will drop your test.
What about putting 20 years old man on trt? My natural lh and fsh levels are near the down range, test level 390. Never taken any steroids before. I take care of my sleep quality, supplementation d3 omega etc, i dont use any drugs, alcohol hardly ever, healthy build im not fat tub like others with low t. I dont know what is going on so i consider take this stuff in the near future..
I wouldn’t mess with it if you feel great.
Decide if you want kids first. I would try every natural supplement first.
no troll in gonna try boofing test undeconate for better bio availability. heard all the jokes, gimme feedback guys. or make fun of me hahahaha dont care ima do it anyway
Test undecanoate rocks - everyother week
If I start TRT will it shut down my own testosterone production and will this reduce my sperms production and cause me to be on TRT FOR LIFE...THANKU
Great info my Doc
Has anyone experimented with topical aromatase inhibiters for gyno? Curious to see if anyone has been able to reduce the size of the gyno while mitigating the unwanted side effects of low estrogen.
Think you need to check out more plate more dates. The group is alot more chatty with these sorts of advice.
Using an AI just for gyno is silly. You're best to use nolva if you have e2 positive gyno. Depends if it is e2 causing the gyno or something like progestin
Is your dose too high?
R there any dangers being on TRT age 60..I'm in good health..if my testicle shut down is there a danger of them never working again...what is a low level of testosterone..thanku sorry if I'm asking too much
Great info as always. I wish you'd script your videos as you have a tendency to ramble which makes it a little hard to follow at times. I love the subdued tone of this video! 👌
Proviron 25 mg a day is the best whit testesteron 250 mg week!
Thanks for all you do and how much you care!
I have used Testosterone over the past 10 years. In the last 2 years I have not used any. Feeling flat and low did bloods and was diagnosed with secondary hypogonadism. The problem is when I started with test enanthate 250mg once a month I experienced severe bloating and a very uncomfortable gut. As soon as I'm done eating I would get very uncomfortable and need ed to use the loo. Moved over to test cypionate, 50mg once a week. Same result. It's almost as though I can't tolerate it internally. I have chatted to my endocrinologist and few other well versed people however nobody seems to understand why or how this happens. Any feedback would be highly appreciated.....🙏
Split the 25 mg twice a week. All of my friends micro dose rather than one large shot once a week.
Great info doc as always. My experience is spot on with the info here pertaining to the Clomid and HCG.
Pooping men on testosterone😂hope they don't take it very personal
Question for anyone who can answer my test levels dropped from 600 to 400 less than 2 years should I consider trt?
No, I would make some adjustments but I can't say as I don't know your age, diet and stress levels, I would do whatever possible to get your levels back up first naturally and after 3 months test again.
Prob because your diet sleep stress level etc
I feel great at 400. Don't go off numbers, go on how you feel.
I just got my testosterone test back and it was just through a general practitioner. Total is 272 and free is 72.6. Im 5' 11", 175 pounds and around 18 percent body fat. Im new to this. That with me taking TongkatAli. Im pretty sure that is low. What are my options? What should i ask my doctor?
Had sleep test same time as my labs for low T. Cpap machine was 60%-70% for me feeling better and TRT would be 30-40%. Sleep test is a must just like bloodwork on TRT every 3-4months.
Why do people do anavar only cycles? Just to suppress test instead of completely stopping?
I'm 42 and my test came back at 777. But I want to be optimum so I'm prescribed 200mg a week. Any thoughts on dosage concerns?
@10:40 he is so right. Instead of going to Dr. Mordcai Blau in NY, I went to a general Dr. outside of Philly. I assumed getting the gland taken out and al little bit of lipo wouldn't be a big deal. Besides, he did great work on a female I know who had a mommy makeover. Well, that was dumb. After the first surgery, the glands were out and my chest wasn't too bad. However, we decided to go back at it again to do a little more lipo. There was too much tissue taken out the second time and 5 years later I am left with dents in my chest. I typically have to point this out to people, but to me, its very noticeable. Plus, IMO the overall appears of the chest is now worse than it was with gyno. Don't cheap out. Go to someone. like Dr. Blau in NY who specializes in these sort of things. I have since moved from PA to Florida and am hoping to someone day find somewhere down here who can help.
General question. When your a teen and have high testosterone and it's natural why are there side effects if a 50 yr.old goes on TRT?
Adding HCG for me did absolutely nothing in terms of fertility I went from a count of 75 million per ml to 0000.35 per ml and that’s on 120mg test per week and 1000iu HCG twice per week
I'm 67 and I have bph, my dosage is 120 mg per week/40 mg per injection MWF. Do you think cutting it down to 100 mg might help. Thanks
Give it a try.
Go off how you feel and see if it works out.
I do a blast once a year and also play around with my normal trt dosage.
When I take more test i can’t stop thinking about sex. It’s both fun and bad, distracting me nonstop.
So for me, I found going down to a amount where I feel regularly horny and normal energy is great. To low and I don’t feel like myself, that’s when you’ll know it’s to low.
I've personally found 200mg of primo with only 75mg of test a week works better as a cruising stack or alternative hormone replacement than pure TRT at 150, 200 or even 250mg test.
I also really liked complimenting it with Hdrol when it existed at 50mg a day, which was the prohormone version of Tbol, it felt so complete and I had amazing blood markers with and with out hdrol, but the hdrol was the iceing on the cake.
I'm going to try that myself and see what happens.
@quantumfx2677 you'll love it, no oily skin, no thinning hair, equel recovery in the gym as 250mg of test but you'll have a little bit harder of a look, blood markers are equally as good as on TRT, sex drive is about the same a 200mg test but the Hdrol will put it right up there on what 250mg would give you and can provide a little better pump in the gym (keep in mind it has to be hdrol for the added libido boost and not to tbol, don't ask why tbol is not as good at that but it's not, maybe hdrol is a little more androgenic than tbol before conversion or maybe it's just more activating in the brain).
If you just want the same extra added little pump and recovery enhancement tbol at 10mg is the same as 50 hdrol.
It's hard to find real hdrol now though, it was stupidly banned in most countries despite being a very mild safe compound based on an already very mild safe compound.
I wish i could afford to see you dr in some ways i cant afford not too. Always great content lets me know what im in for just started first cycle 200mg testosterone cypionate and 300mg Decca a week deca did wonders for my shoulder.

I take 80cc of prop every 3 days
My sex drive is crap

Can I have been on a TRT dose for years on end and then get wifey pregnant after that? Or is that a pipe dream?
I see Ronnie Coleman and Dorian Yates have kids and they clearly were blasting for years, so it must be possible at least in some cases.
Great data again. Thank you very much. Be well everyone.
Great video Doc. I think I am going to pass on this. At 73 I am trying to avoid any problems in my life. Thank you for great info.
Doc I’ve been on TRT 3 years and I recently got really bad tinnitus could it be connected ? Thanks
My tinnitus started shortly after starting trt. Ear md said unrelated, but I'm not convinced. For me, the benefits of trt outweigh the negative of tinnitus.
Doc, know of any expert gynocomastia surgeons in MN or immediate surrounding states?
I have a repair to do on right side. When i flex, looks more like an indentation.
Did a great job on left side, for some reason, right side did not turn out like left side.
Hello Doctor, Would like to use your services. I am 69 yr old male. 6 ft 2. 275 pounds. I have all the classic signs of low T. My recent blood work showed low free testosterone and low sex binding hormone. The other 2 testosterone levels were normal but low range. My recent coronay calcium score was 900 and my cardiologist increased my creator from 5 mg a day to 10 mg a day and said continue taking my baby aspirin. That was all he said. I immediately changed my diet in an effort to hopefully reduce my calcium. I have been taking vitamin d3 and k2 for years. I also have sleep apnea and the a cpap machine every night. Where do I go from here sir? Thank you . Lenny Aguiar New Bedford, Massachusetts.
I'm too dumb to comprehend half of this.

Great information Doc, I'm in late 40's and last year i took 4 different types of DHT orals , Winstrol / Proviron / Anadrol / Anavar at high doses and it totally enlarged my prostate after 10 days and i was peeing 4/5 times a night, i realized my mistake and stopped taking them all and things started to improve after about 3/4 weeks
Amigo, good idea to get liver enzymes checked with all those orals.

Yes buddy I'm waiting on blood test results this week as I think I've got some problems now related to PEDS
Woo what were you thinking! Im not a fan of orals except anavar & proviron
If your gonna go on trt and want to maintain fertility I highly suggest you freeze sperm before starting trt. HCG may or may not work so not worth the chance.
Fantastic info Doc! What a dedication!

Breast cancer in men has increased at a higher rate than women over the last decade. Not that there are more men than women, but the rate is increasing and is higher than women. Might be good to look into that.

Do DHT derivatives like Primo shut down your testicles?
I know this guy never replies in the comments which is a big drawback to his channel (as great as he is) but ill ask anyway.
Doc you said you have been on test for decades, how are you mitigating the high hematocrit/ hemoglobin numbers that come with that? Donating blood on seems to bring the numbers down slightly for me..
ive been on suboxin for years now and it lowered my test,few years ago i tried the patches for about 4 months,it didnt do anything to my levels and i kept getting headaches,at the time i was thinking the subs was blocking it but not sure,anyone have knowledge with this?
Suboxone shut me down as well. 120mg a week test IM has me normal again.

The testicular atrophy part is disturbing. But something not mentioned here is water retention, it's brutal. As is low semen volume per ejaculation too. Anyway to cope with that too?
You shouldn't get water retention unless your estrogen is way 2 high
I've.just in prescribed 40mg sachet testogel , I thought great as will help as I get older . I'm 51 and always worked out so thought this is perfect . As my test levels were low , but after listening to the Doc it doesn't sound so good and maybe should just stick to low test .
I’ve been in TRT for 2 years and still produce a lot of sperm. Does that mean I’m not “shut down” and could still have kids? Stilly question but just wondering if being shut down means nothing comes out.
Eventually you might have very little to no sperm in an ejaculation. If normal prostate you still have seminal fluid. Depends on how old you are. I know this is an individual kind of thing, but if you stay on TRT for at least 5-6 years that’s when you might notice reduction in sperm production. This happened to me, but I am 73 and it took six years to have this happen. I have been on for 6-7 years.
I’ve been on testosterone since September can I just quite it? I’m not sure if I can take this the rest of my life. The doctor said I should take it cause my testosterone it is very low and I’m in risk of heart attack! I don’t know what’s your opinion?
I have trouble pissing at night but high flow rate during the day
If T levels are great built still not feeling great would you recommend HCG as mono therapy or maybe peptides like Tesamorelin
500iu Mon wed Fri, every 4-6 weeks, two weeks after first test shot, worked like a dream for me.

Most gp's arent doin shit and really dont know shit in my experience and thats across the board. Not just for test. Things have changed so much in the past 10yrs its like they need to go back to school. My opinion
They are learning to be that way and do it that way AT school. University's especially in the United Sheeps of America are all part of the for dollar/profit system these days, unfortunately. They and the sick care system and the insurance companies and big pharma do not care about you or me. Only keeping us breathing just enough to be able to open our wallets. We are all on our own.
