Host and writer here. This is one of those topics I’ve wanted to cover for a long time - but the research is so extensive on this topic that it was hard narrowing in for a 5 minute video. I kept on wanting to read more!
I politely have to disagree, unless I'm missing a hidden joke somewhere, the use of feminine aesthetical features for a video about testosterone would be completely inappropriate.
Very insightful, but i have a complaint. It's already a complicated analysis as it is, so please try explain it slower, and with more hand gestures involved 😅 so we could understand better.
Hey bro, my testosterone level is 240 ng/dl and I just started TRT with 200 mg every two week for 2 months and then the doctor would increase it to 400 mg every two weeks. My question is , is TRT with the dosage I mentioned is really beneficial with gaining muscles and losing weight?
Well to my knowledge, increasing the dosage and watching tv will not gain you muscle magically sadly. You need to actually workout and stimulate the muscle. Consistency is key, and progress overload and you’ll be golden And fat loss wise, you will need track your calorie and eat in a calorie deficit to lose weight/fat. TRT sadly will not melt the fat away and leave you with a physique like Arnold.
@@siddharthatimilsina5245 This is incorrect. Larger doses will produce muscle even when not weigh training, but weight training and larger doses together produce a synergy.
@@SuperIce6374 yes you are correct, but if I show you a before and after picture of someone who has been taking trt for the last 3 months. Who has not been hitting the gym, not stimulating the muscle. You will physically see no difference but with ct scan, you will that the muscle has gotten bigger (denser). - I am not a medical doctor, so please don’t take my word as advice. But from my experience, this is what I have to say Overall my message is not to use hrt as an excuse to not hit the gym, and to think that this will lead you to a great physique If your doctor tells to use hrt for your health, take his advice not mine Would you not agree?
Regarding hormones, how about how women need testostereone for libido as well as oestrogen? Do men need oestrogen and why? I have had a hysterectomy, so am short on testosterone. What other effects (other than libido) does this cause?
I did read about how female bodybuilders who use steroids get increased libidos, but I don't know about how it works if your testosterone levels are too low. You might want to discuss this with your doctor.
Dr here. In school they often teach us that testosterone and estrogen are oposites, but in reality they kind of work together, we men need estrogens (stradiol specifically) to regulate the effects of testosterone in parts like the brain and the testicles. Phenotypic women also need testosterone because it helps with ovarian cycle, bone growth and libido, but we are still not sure how, both men and women have receptors for testosterone in their brains, but it is not well known how they work.
You think the President is the person who will take care of that? How do you propose we do that? We can't even manage to clean up our oceans (though we have begun finally, with some pretty neat innovative ideas), what makes u think we can clean the area around Earth? Cost wise especially? What are your ideas?
I've had a testosterone test and in actually quite low in the stuff, being at the minimum level border and my blood sample was taken when the testosterone levels was at its peak. I asked my GP if I can have testosterone boosters and my was like "No" without any explanation... UK GPs suck so much
Reputable communities out there on steroids if you truly wanted to roll a low dose of test and needed help understanding what to do. Obviously, legal implications apply 🙄
I heard it has alot to do with what u are eating. Certain foods are supposed to destroy your testosterone levels and should be avoided whenever possible.
my androgen receptores is becoming more sensitive forcefully causing more testosterone binding to dht due to 5ar the process of transforming testosterone to dht

You should still join the gym for cardiovascular health and to slow down age-related muscle loss. Just don’t expect to pack on the muscles like men in theirs 20’s do, sorry.
@@austinfreyrikrw6651 When we exercise LH stimulates testis to produce testosterone as we age LH stimulation decreases and testosterone decreases thus muscle loss happens but if the person works hard than he can gain testosterone at any age main thing is that his determination and effort
Strengh has nothing to do with testosterone, testosterone producing white muscle fibres which is basically water, strengh comes from brown muscle is denser and the harder the muscle the stronger it is! White muscle isnt strong as its basically big and soft from all the water, big muscle does not mean strong muscles!! Ps i was a pro kickboxer and instructor so bare that in mind before you try and discredit me!! As a pro athlete strengh was my priority so i know my own strength and when i was 25 i could bench press 130kg and people thought i was skinny hmmmm how am i so strong then? Cos my muscles are hard and dense, after over a decade at 41 and not been to the gym i can still bench 90kg and 3 years ago my T tanked so bad i developed a sugar addiction cos i was working 2 jobs for 3 months so i had to quit, so there im living prove testosterone has nothing to do with strengh just muscle growth. Low weights and high reps increases brown muscle (which is stronger) over white muscle which is basically water

Is there a way to keep producing more hormones even at age???
@@AmanVerma-zg5iw There are several ways, 2 of which are getting enough sleep and having a low BMI.

In order to lose fat and gain muscle you need to train well and eat well. I highly recommend the personalized Agoge Diet plan, works amazing..
I started TRT at 36 after years in the gym with no gains and other side effects. It’s a night and day experience.
Can you be more specific? When i Will be 40 i think i Will do It but need to listen to other experiences before deciding. Thanks

What about compounds that's not naturally found in the body, like Dianabol, Trenbolone or Winstrol. How do they stimulate muscle growth?
I love the 80s synth music in the background.
Also make a video on how estrogen level is related to flexibility in females💕...m eager to know it's mechanism 👀
me too, maybe knowing the mechanism will help me make my hrt work better. 15 months and not any more flexible lol
Bruh is that why I can’t do the splits
So there's a reason I can't do cool leg tricks even after training a while -_-
This is a complete BS. Body type, genes, activity level and type determines flexibility. Don't believe everything you read on YT comment section

Is muscle building still possible on a caloric deficit when on trt?

regarding your other question about the hysterectomy, it depends on what kind of hysterectomy it was (only uterus, or also ovaries and tubes)
We also need estrogen for joint health and libido.
So having muscle dystrophy can be treated lazily with that?

So what happens to your testes if you take testosterone?
They stop producing it and eventually shrink

So what happens much later on in life, when you produce hardly any testosterone?
That's when you start considering a trt regimen.
