I started TRT to help with my PTSD. It was the only thing that helped. The main symptom I was having was the inability to enjoy anything. I do mean anything. Shooting guns, riding motorcycles, off-roading, camping, hiking, exercise, I felt nothing. It was either this or ending it all (wasn’t being dramatic, life is pointless when you feel that low for years).
I’m glad it helped, hopefully I don’t have to do it forever, but knowing it basically solved the problem while I’m on makes me happy. I could care less about “gains” or my physical appearance. I’m not a bodybuilder, but I’m thankful to the guys at the gym that are bodybuilders, they’re extremely helpful and positive dudes.
That sounds like depression dude. TRT might help but you shouldn’t take that lightly either. Look after yourself.
How are you feeling now?
A very honest doctor. I appreciate the fact that he puts people first and not numbers, that resumed all.
Smartest doctor ever. Instead of having doctors now days prescribing anti depressants for people with hypogonadism. Thank you for wonderful content.
True, Docs and antidepressants nowadays are one inseparable I mean like anything that seems a bit beyond their understanding falls into depressive category and that's silly.
This doctor is incredible. Finally someone that understands!!!!!!!!!!!
Really enjoy hearing any topics the doctor speaks on....KEEP THEM COMING. ....THANK YOU ☆☆☆☆
Damn, glad i found this video and the channel. My test levels are at 190. Just started TRT. Fingers crossed.
How is your t-level now?
how did it go?
Do you feel any better ?
This channel is really informative
Bring back videos with the Doc. Hes awesome
Love watching his videos find the question and conversations very interesting
Thank you for your content. Dr. Rand thank you for sharing your knowledge.
This doctor is cool. Just started T and glad I found him through your channel.
They make this too complicated, my doctor says, all the numbers don’t matter, if it makes you feel better, take it. A couple basic checks, t levels and hemoglobin
You have a good doctor.
Some late study's letting the ol tess aromatize unless your on very high doses of T. However blood work is key. Estrogen is extremely vital in healthy functions in men. Careful.
This is the best god damn doc ive ever seen. Could you please make a vid where you question him about fertility issues on testosterone? How large are the risks of becoming infertile for life If you take cycles of 250-500mg of testosterone in your 20s and 30s?
great show as always
great work keep it up! such great informations each time!
+Saibi Lamine Thank you very much guys. We are happy you enjoy the channel and the content we provide.
Thx doc, all my questions cleared on point.
A friend of mine had his testosterone levels checked because he wasn't feeling right ,it was fine he decided to get fit and 6 months later he's fine now.
This series really was priceless.. still is.. I wish half the trt docs out there would watch all of these videos before prescribing. 90% of the endos or trt docs out there are cookie cutter trash who truly don't understand what they have read I'm books. Unable to relate and just flat out don't understand. It's super frustrating.
All great info thanks
Could you ask the doc if he would be willing to do a Ted Talk. In Europe we could use you guys to make these themes known to the doctors in Europe. Thanks. Love the show.
Hi Dave
just wondering if you would ask the Doc if there are any Natural Aromatase Inhibitors out there.
AI’s are usually pretty difficult to find or are ridiculously expensive.
Loving the show, keep up the good work.
Regards,
Wow really appreciated this.
Thanks!
Hi there doc I love the way that you can give out the information! Very honest wish I could have a conversation with you a bit far away for me but anyway how would I be able to do a couple of consultation with you!!?? Cali is too far ! I saw one of the videos I really liked ! Test cypionate end also test enanthate great thanks for the cooperation
Thanks I found this very helpful !
You should just let the Doctor read the questions out load instead of you reading them.
Who would ever have thought that trt and trt clinics would become a better option than my damn psychiatrist! My history of low T had no bearing to psych and pcp for help in this arena. So glad I am starting trt next week!!
Volume is a little low but I love the series.
Starts at 1:50
Aloha Doc!
You said in one of your videos average dosage of TRT is 1cc of 200mg . My doctor prescribed me 0.25cc of 50mg of testosterone. No HCG no Aromatase . It's pain in the butt to use the small bottle of testosterone 1 cc 4x!
Since I suppose to use only 0.25cc also I end up geting only 3 usage instead 4 from the bottle since 0.10cc or so end up in the needle and syringe after use. Got 3 of 200mg 1cc bottles for 12 weeks but end up only with 9 weeks .Im on week 5 now. Isn't 50mg of testosterone a week too low? Feels like Im injecting my self for nothing and waisting money since 3 shots end up in a garbage, in my 9 weeks. Im still tired and sleepy after a nap or dinner. I have been working out for 22 years and lately not exited to go to gym anymore. My stress level is very high. I think my doctor said my testosterone level is very low 26 my other testosterone to have children is in normal. I am scheduled for my visit next week to see my doc. to do a blood work. Doc said come in 6 weeks for check up.
I'd rather use the one bottle 1cc 200mg/week like you mentioned instead 4x just 50mg which end up just 3x instead. And don't think it's good to keep reusing same small bottle with needless,should be just one use what they told me in my pharmacy ,but than prescribed to use the same bottle 4x anyway. What would you suggest Doc? Thank you!
How about the cortisol levels ?..T & C levels ..
Im in my mid-20s with ZERO libido. My Total T is about 300 and my Free T is 7.2. Doctor said, "this is completely normal." I don't think so... Married, healthy, active, but I have sex 6-8 times a year, struggle with putting on muscle and losing fat, and am constantly fatigued and foggy... but hey... Between 25-29, I guess a 7 and 300 are "totally normal".... Though they did offer me a "psych" exam... -_-
They offered you a psych exam to put you on anti depressants
screw that and find another doctor. You are living half dead and no way to live that way for another 40 years.
Wrong type of dr
I would try to get advice from a different doctor.
That doctor is great 👍
Thanks Jason.
Hello everybody, thank you for posting such a beneficial videos, my question is, I could not find Arimdex in my country and ppl advice me to use proviron which has anti estrogen properties, do you think it has the same functions as anti aromatiz?
+Ahmed Al-Dulaimi This is not the right place to ask questions for the doc. please watch the videos all the way up to the end to see where it can be submitted properly.
That Doc has got to be called Dr. Testosterone to his mates.
Please, what the heck is the deal with Bioidentical test vs synthetic? I've talked to 3 doctors and have been given 3 answers. Thank you in advance.
Thats new to me that we should use AI on TRT, is this still up to date?
Just had mine tested im sub 200 and feel like shit
What about estrogen / free-testosterone ratio?
dude you are vascular as hell...what gear are you on?
Not a joke, but what stack is the DR on?
Your videos are 🔝 😎 😜 👍🏻 💯
Thanks Byron!
good videos dude , why do ''almost'' all gps offer antidepresants rather than testing hormone levels ? and why is it so hard to get ''hrt'' if ur a male ??? women manipulate their hormones at a young age ''the pill' for instance , so they can have '' unsafe sex'' an not get pregnant also every female can have 'hrt' when the menopause hits !?!? but men find it almost impossible to get treatment
This doc now's his shit
Doctor Jacked!
Is 300-400 total T, 7-9 free T low enough to need trt? 36 yrs old Appreciate all input
If you got symptoms maby
@@SuperYobo definitely low..
What else have you done to help make it get higher?
Is testosterone and hcg enough to preserve healthy sperm or should clomid be added?
Personally I’m getting off Clomid and will be using no fertility drugs. If you’re sperm count is low before going on then maybe you should. But Clomid blocks e2 receptors and that could lead to problems down the road as E2 is actually good for you.
So how do you know if your testosterone levels are low without taking a test?
There's no perfect way to tell without a test.
I’m 36 and my doctors refused to help. I had to take matters into my own hands, and schetchy as online buying is, I need to find a doc in nyc that will help me. I don’t want to guesstimate these things.
Definitely you should to work with a medical doctor.
Thank you for your video. I am 39 almost 40 year old Man, I recently got my testosterone levels checked, the results were (test. Total 5.49 ng/ml), and other reading is 1.7 ng/ml, is that low? I am confused and the doctors at the trt clinic refuse to give me testosterone because they say "my test. Levels are normal". So am I normal regarding my testosterone levels?
Do you mean nm/ml measurements? Even if, yes, that is extremely low. Can't be ng/ml. You'd be a woman at those numbers.
Testosterone level is typically express in ng/dl (nano grams per deciliter) so your total of 5.49 is actually 549 ng/dl which is within the accepted therapeutic range of 300-1,000. What is the other lab reading of 1.7? Is that also total testosterone?
What time of day were these drawn? Testosterone is usually peaked at around 6 am and the lowest around 6pm and not much higher at bedtime. Are you experiencing symptoms of low T?
Most docs treat numbers on this issue, just told mine I wanted to go on TRT, I’m 52 n my total is at 330, she told me I’m in the normal range n don’t qualify
I find it irritating that the volume is so DAM LOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ???????
Question: ? what is the equivalent for women aka trt ?
HRT
I’m 48 in the 500s and the dr said I was normal and don’t qualify for low t therapy . This so confusing
Those are pretty good levels. You need to check free testosterone
Same here I came back 605
check your Free T and SHBG
Your test is not low
Bruh, I'm 35 and my levels are close to 300. You're fine.
Can't have kids if you start
Yes you can... stop saying stupid shit
Not true at all. I have 2 children and was taking a lot more than trt when we conceived.
