    Many men are interested in testosterone replacement therapy, or may have recently started, but don’t know the details on dosing, timing, ancillary meds, and what to monitor. This video is an overview for those men (and their doctors!) I cover routes of administration including some new ones like nasal T, dialing in the dose and frequency, and what to do if your doctor puts you on spaced out doses, wants to add additional meds, or wants you to come off every 6 months. This video is a condensed review, but I also highlight some of my other videos you can reference for more information. If you’re considering TRT or have recently started, watch this video!

    Been on TRT for 2 years now. I do 0.5 Ml every 4-5 days. I wouldn’t do it any other way I feel great all the time. Sex drive is great! Life is great! No more depression no anxiety no gloomy days no ups and downs no more antidepressant pills that don’t work. TRT saved my life no joke! I do 6 month blood work and stay up on my health. I’m 35 and living my best life now.

I lost my dad to cancer and it was unbelievable hard for me and I was struggling tremendously. The doses I mentioned are tailored for me through my doctor to keep my testosterone levels at a safe but optimal range which my last total testosterone levels were 1090 NG.

      I am 28, I've had symptoms the last 3 years to only get really bad recently. My test was 339 last checked. I check every 6 months do to my hypothyroidism (which TSH i in optimal range). Best I've had is 620 a few years back but usually around the 400 mark. I eat amazing, I work out, I am in very good health so I do not believe it to be a lifestyle factor. My doctor gave me the option to go on TRT but the complications of fertility have me hesitant. I will be starting clomid as my estrogen is off the charts and I will be starting HCG. 28 just seems like such a young age for TRT even though I have every symptom. ITs not uncommon for people with thyroid issues. Its a big decision.

    25 years old here. Started test when I was 23. Was an impulse decision but I will be on it for the rest of my life. I was at a super healthy level of 800 before I started. It’s not a joke to play with your horomones. Also when I started I said I would only do test, and I moved on to stronger stuff. Masteron, primo, anavar, winstrol, TREN. My liver is not happy. If you are young man stay away. Learn from my experience and the docs experience. Only get on if you are dangerously low. I was a healthy man and I fucked my shit up. All love brothers ❤

    I took Anavar for a month then went to trt clinic knowing it lowered my natural test so after getting blood work my test was under 200, the TRT clinic prescribed me 200mg a week mixed with estrogen blocker, also gave me Gonadorelin 50 units every 3 days to keep my natural test going at the same time. Keep in mind I been working out natural over 20 years, I’m 37 now and I finally thought I want to get on something so I did it with the doctor. So far I feel pretty good. Getting stronger and bigger.

    Pellets suck. When I first started testosterone replacement 5 years ago, I started with pellets. Didn't know any better. My Naturopathic doctor recommended it. It's more money in their pockets. Left bruising on my buttocks, that has not disappeared until this day.
    Plus, the other issues with pellets.
    Can't necessarily control the dose.
    I do injections now. Wish I would have started that way. Oh well.
    I'm 65 this year. Probably, should have started this 20 years ago.
    Do your research!!
    Learn from people and doctor's, who've been doing it for a while.
    Some doctor's, if not most, don't have a clue...
    P.s.
    Also, when I first started pellets, my doctor had me on an AI. (Aromatase inhibitor).
    My estradiol got as low as zero at one point. Ridiculous.
    I don't take AI's anymore. Everyone's different, but I'm cool with 30's, 40's, etc.

I tried the gels and was also offered Sustanon but NHS offer that as a 3 week injection routine which is not ideal. So I am prescibed Nebido from Bayer. It's a 4ml injection and I get that every 7 weeks. Endoncrinologist had originally started me on an injection every 12 weeks. Some injections I'm feeling good and have a sex drive and maybe another injection I have no morning rising or sex drive for maybe 4 weeks after the injection. Constant ups and downs. Going private costs a fortune. I'm not a bodybuilder or anything just a regular guy who had low test from a health issue.

    Well gentlemen, I can tell you from my personal experience. I have been on TRT for about a little over a year now and feel I finally got my dosages dialed in. Labs are looking good but there is one problem. Ever since I switched over from HCG to Gonadorelin, my testicles have been experiencing a painful sensation, kind of like blue balls on a daily basis. I explained this to my doctor and he wanted me to stop taking the Gonadorelin for one week and then switch to a lower dose. So far I have been off of it for one week now and my testicle pain has gone away. My concern is why did this happen in the first place? I am going to try and push to see if there is a chance that I can go back on HCG. The Gonadorelin just showed up in the mail with my meds one day with an explanation why he thought this would be a better medication for me. Well, I think not! Just some information for you all to digest! It was a daily pain, all day, every day! It did not go away after ejaculation either! Good luck to you all and God bless!

      250 is basically 1ml a week depending on dosage in bottle and Depending on your levels before and how your body reacts, you may need more or less. Im on test cypionate and my bottels come as 220mg per ml so for every 1ml shot you take you get 220mg of testosterone I know of some on 330mg which is 1.5ml a week, and I know of some on 110mg per week which is .5ml a week. 250 is not bad. As long as your doc is monitoring your blood you should be fine. Don't be afraid to ask him questions he can answer best. Also I have no idea about hair loss and my whole comment may not even be what you are asking but this guy has a lot of good videos that cover almost all subjects.

      When you take an exogenous form of testosterone your brain will try to compensate by telling your testes to shut down because they no longer need to make their own testosterone. Side effects of this are testicular atrophy and significantly less to no sperm production. So if this is a concern, often, hcg is taken alongside trt to produce lh which will keep your balls awake and they will continue to produce testosterone and sperm.

Other things impact your estrogen, prolactin and other hormones. Try analyzing your diet, other supplements and products you are using. There are a lot of foods that boost your estrogen through the roof that are easily eliminated or replaced by a less estrogenic versions. AI should be used very sparingly.

    I have a little different perspective on "Low T" and taking testosterone injections. First thing it's pretty rare to have Low T, it affects only 2% of the male population and they are usually much older. What men have is 25%-40% bodyfat and they feel really bad. Almost all of this is caused by high sugar high fat diets. Protein is the one macro that can save people but most people don't know anything about protein; what does it look like? where does it come from? Can I just drink protein shakes(no)?. To fix your 25%-40% bodyfat problem upgrade your diet to have .7 grams of protein per lb. your weight. Do this along with basic weight training and you'll fix your body in about 6 months - 2 years, depending on how out of shape/overweight you are.

So technically a 20 year old with 370 test is normal and a 50 year old with 600 is also normal. However, the 20 year old shot have higher test levels at his age… therefore his optimal may be in the 700 range. He doesn’t feel right because his test levels are low for him.

My best suggestion to anyone is that good quality protein rich foods will solve most of your problems. In the U.S. almost all food is sugar and high fat. Fix the protein issue(protein shakes are not good sources of protein, but better than a candybar) and your life will improve immensely.

    Appreciate the content you put out! My endocrinologist put me on the gel about a year n half ago, wasn't happy with it & finally got switched to the injection/intramuscular test cyp. 125mg broken into two shots per week have been working amazing! Keep putting out great useful & educational/interesting info!

      Same here, I took 180mg per week and I felt kinda funny with all these tingling (millions of those ants crawling all over me) sensations for 3 months and told my specialist it was too much and went with 125-150mg a week and it felt right as rain.

    Get your Thyroid and Cortisol/Immune function checked Before making the Leap to TRT!!!! People don't realize, there's SO many links of the Chain that lead to "T" production......and it's very common to simply have One of them Not firing, and you Could be capable of having Normal T production in the first place!!(so one Small thing not Firing, could be the Reason you have Low T Levels) I suspect many people just have Adrenal fatigue or high stress, and don't even realize it....too much caffeine, etc.

      So get on thyroid medicine ot testosterone? Frankly I'll stick to testosterone rather than playing with my thyroid. It's much easier to get yourself out of trouble from cypionate rather than an unwanted effect from T3.
