Trust these guys, TRT has been life changing for me. They brought me from bottom of reference range to the top. Their doctor said something like 'i can't have you walking around like that'. Its supplementation to get you back to normal. I felt the positive change to cognition straight away, it takes a while for the body to adjust to the changes, few months but works, and it stays. Every man should have annual tests, and supplement when you age into requiring it. Don't suffer, don't decline, don't go down the route of prescription aging, maintain a healthy level of testosterone and health instead.
Totally agree! Which route did you take? Gels ? Shots ?
That's amazing to hear how much of a positive impact TRT has had on your life!
You're lucky to not be in the UK. There's a strong culture of "if you aren't trans then you don't need testosterone."
We DO NEED more people as you two to inform and break the old ways.
Congrats for your work 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you so much for your kind words! It means a lot to hear that our work is appreciated.
I'm 45yo and ive been on trt for 7 weeks now. My test was at 203ngl equivalent to someone of 75 yr old. Going in next week to recheck my levels. Trt have changed my life for the better. My energy, my mood, brain fog, joint and aging pains gone, sex drive to the roof, etc.. i feel like how i was when i was 25. The urge and satisfaction of exercising is unbelievable. So much to mention. Men if you're feeling sluggish and tired all the time should have their t levels checked. Im doing the intramuscular injection route once a week.
It's amazing how much of a difference TRT can make in your life! So happy to hear about your positive experience.
Thank you for listing the fixes. But one word of caution, sluggishness alone doesn't indicate the need for TRT. That could just be a nutrition (or lack of sufficient sleep) issue. I have ALL of the symptoms. Not that I'm suggesting anyone wait until it gets that bad. The mental demons were the worst.
Mine was 147
Thanks for the great info. More doctors need to hear this.
It took me 8 years and as many doctors before I finally found one that recognized my pain and gave me the opportunity to treat it.
Glad it was helpful!
Refences ranges have been revised downwards over the decades rather than looking at 1950's or earlier ranges where there weren't environmental contaminates & industrial "food". TrT + metformin is a game changer when combined with weight bearing exercise & GLP-1 agonists to break the cycle of overeating.
It's fascinating how reference ranges have changed over time due to environmental factors and dietary changes.
My doctor denied TRT for me, so I took Tren.
It's important to follow medical advice when it comes to hormone treatments.
Yup. The inability to make your own choice and do TRT safely, leads to people taking things into their own hands. Pretty sad.
Tren will fry you... I understand having to self medicate, however if you can soure Tren, then you can probably soure test cypionate. Start with the simple stuff, only move high if your not getting results. The cost is higher than the results .. Tren will mess you up long-term, just me 2 cents.
@@Ricky-mo6mv Indeed it is. That's the negative of regulations. The moment big brother makes something illegal, they create a black market industry.
My first test was 236 and my doctor said it needs to be below 200 to qualify for trt. I had to send him my insurance requirement which stated under 300 qualified, he finally referred me to endocrinologist, second test was 189 so after 3 months I'm finally started treatment, he started me at 100mg every 2 weeks then I get tested again to see if I need higher dose, I'm 53, a1c 5.7 230lbs 5ft11in not feeling much after 1 month, just started 50mg each week. it's definitely a struggle with health care providers and insurance companies, so many men struggling. keep up the good work and getting the word out
50mg is very low and the doctor is being overly cautious for no good reason. Most likely you'll need about 125 per week to start noticing a difference. Also be patient, because it can take months before the body composition starts improving and energy levels improve. If after 2 months you don't see improvement tell him you want 125 per week, otherwise change doctors until you get one that knows what the hell they're doing.
Started at 180mg a week. After a month my levels tested 450 ng/dl. They increased me to 200 mg a week. After the second month I tested at 1000 ng/dl. Dr said she’ll probably lower the dose after my next blood test. I feel amazing. Started feeling and seeing results after about 4-5 weeks. I’m 47 and my sleep is great. Energy is through the roof. Strength is increasing. Sex drive is off the charts. The only negative I feel is some anxiety at times but it’s tolerable. It’s crazy cause I’ll lay down to go to sleep and I feel wide awake almost like there’s no way I’m going to sleep. 20 min I’m out and I don’t wake up until my alarm goes off.
Be patient, and ask your doctor to give you your numbers…
• Estrogen, E2, etc
• Progesterone
• Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH)
• Testosterone/DHEA
• Thyroid hormones
• Luteinizing hormone
Then get a second, third and fourth opinion.
A good doctor treats the symptoms, not numbers.
Thanks and good to hear you finally got treatment. The traditional insurance based doctors and endocrinologist s are not as clued up on TRT
I started TRT last year. My levels were about 450. Put me on 200mg per week and my levels are now 950. I feel great, lost 30lbs, packed on some muscle because I have the drive to workout again, libido is through the roof, and my skin looks better.
That's amazing to hear! It sounds like TRT has had a really positive impact on your life.
Wow 450 is actually a normal range before trt. What's your age.
@@masudahmed6029 At 57 I had 430 and felt like the walking dead. What does that tell you about the range? Thing is, my body didn't know I wasn't suppose to have symptoms at 430.
Men take care of your bodies. Vascular and heart health. Organ detox especially liver. Trt is life changing.
Absolutely, taking care of your health is crucial for a long and fulfilling life.
Talking of conspiracy, a friend of mine was referred to endocrinology to assess the need for TRT after extremely low assay (just over 100). Long story short, he was given a medical , second blood test, height, weight measurement, the nurse deducted 4cm (almost 2 inches) when recording his height to calculate BMI, which the consultant then used as justification to deny testosterone ,stating his levels were low but BMI would reduce the testosterone level, so he probably just needed to lose weight.😂
I wonder how many others have had the little BMI trick pulled without noticing.
Great conversation. Thank you.
I'm glad you enjoyed the conversation!
Thanks for a great talk and beautiful scenery
Your the best, thx for you video🙏
Thank you so much for your kind words, I really appreciate it!
Buongiorno amici un saluto dell'Italia, una domanda, la crema al dht al 10% può creare problemi alla prostata e colesterolo? Grazie di cuore
Secondo me è crema e basta, non si sente niente. Almeno la crema di testo funziona o è fake pure quella?
Check out the works of Georgi Dinkov , he states some countries actually use DHT cream to treat prostate issues, especially prostate cancer .
Im on trt because i was a little low it would be nice if the insurance company can cover it definitely Expensive
It's great that you're taking care of your health with TRT. Insurance coverage would definitely help with the costs.
You gotta be clinically low with two different tests, drawn before 10 AM
When commencing on TRT how long does it take to feel normal again?
Like all things it varies from person to person. But certainly by the end of week 2 you should notice improvements. If by the end of week 3 you have experienced any noticeable change, then something is wrong and you need to talk to your doctor about titrating up you dose.
Just keep in mind that there are physical changes (i.e. more energy) and mental/psychological changes. You might feel the mental change almost immediately (e.g. memory, focus, alertness, etc.) Also remember that test provides the foundation, you still have to apply yourself (do the work), to the experience the benefits.
I have had my blood work done recently and my levels are 223.000 nmol or 6400 should I be worried have been dosing 200mg per week plus hcg should I be concerned
It's important to consult with a healthcare professional for a thorough assessment based on your specific health history and medication regimen.
Good luck getting perscribed TRT in the UK. Got more chance of flying to the moon.

Seriously i am very low in testestorone , but lot of doctors discourages me by saying it will affect my blood flow and will also cause UTI isues ..should i take it.?
Life changing mate
Yeah it'll affect blood flow alright, as in IMPROVED blood flow when taken in correct dosages. Will you get UTI issues, maybe or maybe not, but that can be resolved just by drinking lemon water a few times everyday. So now you feel correct and no UTI.
I’ve NEVER heard of trt causing UTI’s actually the opposite !
I was denied also because my doc said it would cause my blood to thicken, then endo wanted me to only take .50 a week that raised it to 300 still no good i finally quit with the medical profession and i treat myself and i only take 1. A week.
Thickens the blood in some potentially leading to clots, strokes and heart attacks.
My doctor told me that i dident need any TRT , so i tryed a private doctor and he was like , wtf....
He put me on gel the same day.
Everything is better now.
Everything....
It's great to hear that you found a solution that works for you! Health is so important.
I wish you had been more specific when you say "everything" is better. Help out your community and "itemize" (list what improved + examples) your deductions.
Untiil 1950 people work hard for Food____No Diabetes no Heart attack____and Now ????????????
Even in the 1970's men and women on average were much slimmer. Like the average female waist circumference has gone from 24 inches to 35.
It's interesting to see how lifestyle changes have influenced health outcomes over time.
what is the best dose of trt is 200 to much or is it ok
200mg a week is high for trt. 120 to 160 is average and can bring yiu to high levels within range
It is all dependent on the individual. I weigh 230 pounds and i am on 250mg/week my t levels are at 780. Dont listen to the majority of the nitwits in the comment section. Do your research, talk to doctors from mens clinics. And get your bloodwork done. You can make adjustments when you can see your numbers.
@@bulleit9459 You're right, size matters. But every man is different. Some guys respond easily, others are more resistant. That's the point of the Rx. The doctor monitors the numbers, and you tell him how you feel.
That's Vince McMahon..
Thank you
I just eat old school and spend a lot of time outdoors and lift light weights and ride my bicycle , I'm 50 and the most jacked in all my life
That's awesome to hear! Keep up the great work!
Lucky you. You don't have low T. I eat well and exercise and I don't have diabetes. But if I has Type 1 diabetes, non of that would help.
Why do so many guys who take testosterone say that after several monthsvin their libido and sexual function is WORSE than before?
It's a common issue that can occur due to various factors. Sometimes initially the estrogen levels rise too much in relation to the testosterone, other times it just takes time and lifestyle changes along with the TRT to get through that low point which normally goes away or improves. Consulting a healthcare professional for personalized advice is important.
👍
Thank you
You're right, I just realized that Mario updated his favorite way to tackle ED and it's crazy! Although what he previously talked about was pretty decent, it was difficult to follow, I just go'ogled the latest in Mario Volpstein's Erections at Will, it's so much simpler and potent now!
It's great to see Mario constantly improving his methods!
Only fear I have is starting TRT at 33 even knowing I need it, what if I can raise it naturally? And then damage myself
if you need it then take it. simple as that.
Well, try to raise it naturally 1st.vwry simple
Enquire about HCG
This is a hormone which stimulates your testes to produce more testosterone.
What if you damage yourself by having low testosterone for years and all the negatives it can bring to your health and metabolism
TRT is a last resort. Once you're on it, you're on it for life.
I am 81 and the urologist laughs at me.
I'm sorry to hear that. It's important to find a urologist who treats you with respect and professionalism.
Get a new doctor. Then once you're on the medication and feeling better. Email that doctor with a tongue out emoji.
Funny, until recently I hadn't realized that Mario updated his favorite way to tackle ED and it's a relief! Although what he previously suggested was pretty good, it was a real pain to follow... I just go'ogled the latest by Mario Volpstein, it's so much easier and potent now!
It's great when things get updated for the better!
Why do so many men who go on TRT, no matter what the protocol, say that after several months of use, their libido and sexual function is actually WORSE than before?
Because they don’t say that - nice try , back under your bridge and take your fellow troll “totallyraw” with you
Because it's not a fix for everyone.. Nothing is..
There's a few factors as to why libido drops off. That's why you need blood tests regularly
It's a common concern that many men face when starting TRT. Each person's body reacts differently to hormones, so it's crucial to work closely with a healthcare provider to adjust the protocol accordingly.
