question. im 57 years old, my testosterone is at 647 ng/dl and my free testosterone is 51.9 pg/ml. would it be smart to start trt? my trt doctor wants to put me on 60 mg twice a week.
h00dini those are great numbers for your age. How do you feel?
@@EverythingFilmmaking I feel ok. I was on trt for a year 2 years ago. so you don't think its a good idea getting back on?
What was the reason you stopped last time? Why do you want to go on again? Were your levels higher initially? On paper your levels are great! Especially for someone your age. Unless your have symptoms you are sure are related to your testosterone being lower than it should be I definitely wouldn't start trt. At the end of the day its best for the body to do things naturally. But there's a lot of factors to consider. Join the Facebook group.
ezzybro1 thanks ezzy. The reason I stopped was because I hated having to inject twice a week but mostly it was because I didn’t feel as good as I did at the start. I got off cold turkey. My numbers today are higher then what they were when I first got on trt and even the doctor who prescribes me trt is surprised. This however is due to diet and exercise. He wants me back on but I’m reluctant, and no, I don’t think I have symptoms. I just can’t put on muscle as I did before and maybe that’s not good enough reason to get back on.
those are great numbers man, no need to restart trt
I always feel like I am back in college whenever Prof Gil is teaching! Great info again fellas. 🌞😎🤙🏼

Our pleasure!
Gil your awesome at explaining. Thank you so much!
odd... I was thinking (just thinking, not searching or speaking) about asking what labs are recommended and boom this video pops up to watch
That's the way the algorithm works nowadays 😄
Google/AI knows your thoughts. Lol Sort of true...
First
congrats! 👊
Awesome explanation... I understand you're in Florida, I live in Cape coral just wondering how far are you from me? this question is for Gill..
Links to Gil T in the description of every video he is in.
👍good info,very well explained @
Glad you liked it
Another great video! 👍 Thank you for your efforts! that helps us a lot! I appreciate it very much! 🙏
My pleasure!
Hello I am new to your channel and thank you for your explanations. I wanted to share my tests as the reason I did is that I am always tired and feel like I recover slowly from workout.
Age 42
FSH 2.4
LH 6.2
Total Test 235.7 ng/dl
Free Test 84 pg/ml
All my other tests CBC/ liver / heart are all very good.
Thanks
Nice. Impressed with my primary care doctor, i came in with gyno (hoping for a referral to possibly get Raloxifene) and she ran all of these + a CMP. Ended up having low testosterone 😵💫
Man I wish he was my doctor. He is so intellectual in health. I’ve visited with doctors and no one has explained like him. I’m dealing with low sex drive, mild anemia, bruise in strange places, have high blood pressure, and trouble breathing. I don’t know what’s going on but I need help fast. I’ve been like this almost a year. I’m 25 this all happened after COVID
Is Gill T associated with a TRT clinic? I would consider using it.

How often should we retake labs?
Once everything is dailed in: 6-12 months
Would drinking beetjuice and taking testosterone cypionate be okay? Because of the iron was worried. And what are you thoughts thanks so much.. walter
Welke behandeling raad je aan voor de mensen in Europa.
Waar cypionate en enanthate niet zijn goedgekeurd door de EMA.
Over de 20% gel kan ik niks vinden in Nederland.
Mits je een voorschrift hebt, kan de apotheker in België perfect test enanthate bestellen (Rotexmedica of Eiffelfango) 10amp v 1ml (250mg)
TRT and Hormone Optimization bedankt voor deze tip.
Nu gebruik ik al een aantal jaar clomid voelde me het eerste jaar goed daarna steeds minder.
Ik krijg nu een proefbehandeling van drie maanden met tostran.
Mocht ik me hier niet goed bij voelen zal ik mijn arts om een voorschrift enanthate vragen.
very thorough, thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Hi 💪🏻💖😎🤘🏻

Hoe noemen deze dingen die ik moet controleren in het Nederlands doc? Dan kan ik deze ingeven op men bloedbon. De laatste 3dingen begrijp ik nie
Moet jij dat zelf invullen dan?
@@TRTandHormoneOptimization drrm als je aub de Nederlandse dingen kan zeggen die ik moet testen
Ja ik heb ook zelf een bloedtest moeten regelen
Heel irritant
@@TRTandHormoneOptimization ja
I started trt 1 week ago. Took 3 shoots totalling 120 mg. If I stopped now how long should I wait before it's okay to do these tests to have a clear picture
Why wud you stop? thats retarded
Trt is potentially (almost certainly) for life, and why a week then stop that tells u nothing u dont actually feel much until like weeks 3-6
What did you end up doing
how can i contact Gil for TRT guidance? an email?

About the doctors holding back due to their lack of knowledge, my doctor was in this boat exactly. She admitted only having 1 afternoon seminar of education on testosterone. That's like someone learning a new language for an afternoon and labelling yourself as a translator.
Raymond Leger Thank you for sharing!
I am a 66 yr male normal CBC except Hematocrit 49-52. Hemoglobin 16-18.5. Been like this for at least 4 years and was sent to a hematologist who did $1,000 worth of blood work 6 months and 12+months and could find no cause? Never taken hormone’s. Is this a concern? Any way to treat it?
Great videos guys Gil I have a question last 2x I did my blood test my absolute monocytes came back alittle high 1099 and 1080 (scale says 200-950) is this something I should be worried about?
Monocytes are the largest form of leukocytes and often differentiate into macrophages and dendritic cells. These are the second and first lines of defense, respectfully. You may have a mild infection.
Next Level Dietetics thank you very much, it’s crazy because I feel pretty good I guess my next step is to see a endocrinologist thanks again you guys are the best
I’m at 420-450 total test (had multiple testosterone tests over the course of a year) and 270 total test in the evening (yes I’ve done evening tests as well to see how low it goes) free T at 21 pg/ml and SHBG at 70 not really sure if I should go on TRT at 26 though overall healthy lifestyle and really fit
Did you do it
The most possible culprit for prostate cancer is not testosterone but estrogen. Estrogen has to be controlled by an A.I , such as Anastrozole unfortunately estrogen blockers more specifically tamoxifen does not seem to help as it does not block estrogen at the prostate receptors. I believe small doses daily or a few times a week with something like Arimidex especially as people get older is vital
You’re wrong, stay away from AI/estrogen blockers, they are completely unnecessary with TRT and will only add to the complexity of your treatment. They can easily tank your estrogen levels and leave you chasing E2 issues and symptoms. Stick to the lowest TRT dose
Possible that leaves you symptom free, split the dose into 2, 3, or daily injections and you won’t have any estrogen spikes/symptoms associated with high single weekly or bi weekly Injections.
@@Garabins1 I am not wrong and it depends on the individual person 's response and dosage of testosterone selected. I don't do well at all with AI's they wreck my mood but many other people are fine with them. I use tamoxifen but it does not protect from prostate cancer. An A.I with a carefully conservative dose offers a lot better protection still for me even a fraction of 1mg messes me up but as I said many other people are fine with using up 1 mg every other day along with supraphysiological doses of Test.Even when you are an older person not on TRT a tiny dose of Arimidex (a small fraction of a 1mg pill) a couple times a week could be protective from prostate cancer
Nope, no AI is necessary.
