The Anabolic Doc is by far the best doctor out there. WHY?! Bc he actually listens to his patients and REALLY cares about their well being. I’ve been to some doctors that treat their patients like they are cattle “NEXT!” And quite frankly don’t know their ass from their elbow. This guy really understand that EVERYONE IS DIFFERENT. One day I hope to “surrender” to this dude. The only one I would trust to do so with. As of now I’m all underground. DOC! Plz keep doing what you are doing, telling the truth and not pretending like everyone else out there, not all but most. I am humbled by your humility. Much respect to you sir! 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽
Excellent video Doc!! Great info. I'm 64, and been on TRT testosterone replacement(Cypionate) for about 7 years or so now. My doctor, who is a naturopathic doc. Put me on 1mg of Anastrozol 3 times a week. My estradiol was only in the 40's. I stopped taking it. My HDL plummeted down to 39. My HDL has always been in the 70's & 80's. It was through your video's that I learned what happened to my HDL. I tried to tell my doc about you, and what you said about estrogen inhibitors. He said he was going to research this, because he had not heard anything about this. Thanks alot for the work you do. It's very valuable.
Perfect, i agree 100 % !! I am 56 Years now and use this agends more than 30 Years. Its dame difficult to ride on a perfect TRT - Wave. Myself do experiment so many years for to find the right combination. One thing i find out - there is a change in our body system - what was good for me ten years ago isn't working for me now well. Its strange but is like it is. Myself i wrote here in Germany a book about this Thema. Together in cooperation with my doc. But honestly here are not much man realy interested in this topic. I see so much Videos from you Doc and i like the way you explain this basics. Very very good !!! Myself i did Bodybuilding since i got 17 years old. I owned a gym more than 20 years. And i love to go and train 5 times a week with weigths still now. Wish all the best Günther from Germany
Klinefelters here for reference. My endocrinologist was a moron. Somehow... Reddit actually was a better source of information than my doctor. I do not recommend using Tadros in Springfield IL 11:05 - Yea I learned that... I was prescribed 1mg of anastrozole every other day. and it crashed my Estrogen. I kept telling my doctors that I was feeling horrible (depressed, unalivy, fatigued to the point where walking 5ft was impossible.) and wanted to know if there was anything I should change and they had no idea. I had to find out for myself that my e had likely crashed and then I asked for a test, and they told me the level was "
I am not 1 for long messages, that said. I started this week following you. Your content is amazing, life changing! Thumbs up for the way you lay out the content and time of each point in the index. Here is the point, as you kindly note, lot of us are new, you have over 200 episodes if I am right reading your bio. When u refer to a video in the past that is helpful understanding a statement you made, can't you create a link to that reference video. ? As you said. Ask ask again when looking at the overall picture! 👍 Once Again amazing content!
Doc u are the best out there!!!!! I had a doctor from university of Miami and he was ignoring my problems,i change doctors after two visits....you are the best 💯
Joint pain, anyone? Came off TRT, took an AI about a week after my last dose (120mg/week)... Started with joint pain that week and it's now been a few months. Estradiol was at 49 the high side and now is at 22.
Hearing this making me wanna leave my trt clinic and realize they may not know as much as they should. They got me on 1mg tablets for anastrozole. They had me on hgc, but now it's clomiphene due to laws on hgc they said. Your video is really making me question how much they know now. I remember they didn't test my estradiol either. They did total test.
@@tonyredemann2001 I get it too. HCG was reclassified as a biologic but man it blows. HCG was awesome. I had to go without it a month and when I came back it definitely helped a ton. They also told me the same thing too, but recommended I take either Clomid or gonaderllin till they had other options.
@@TheJLAMAR23 yea I'm not too big on the clomid. I only take the stuff for testicle shrinkage cause mine gets bad, even at low dose TRT. The clomid doesn't help tho like the HCG did.
The chemistry of the body is always trying to balance itself out. Adding exogenous testosterone skews this balance and estrogen is simply rising in response to it in order to re balance that seems to be the case from my research. I also second the comment on progesterone. There needs some discussion of that too as well as prolactin.
I’m a bigger guy as well my e2 is high. I pin .15 every other day to mitigate estrogen. I do have Arimidex I can take if needed. So far since starting TRT a lil over 2 months ago. I’ve noticed some weight loss and massive increases in energy.
What about trt for men having 2times testicular cancer , and result is being castrated . No balls . Since I was 15 I had my 1st case and 21 with my 2nd case and have been using trt for 10 years + . My blood pressure is always high , my blood is thick. Causing me to donate blood and or drain some blood out of my body . I have been on test Cypionate since my urologist put me on it over 10 years ago. I have mood swings, depression and anxiety. I’m at 1.5 -2 ml per week to keep me in the range of natural test levels, and every time I get checked my levels aren’t accurate enough to stay on a constant dosage . It always fluctuates. Please make video about TRT and no testicles and doses and all info you have on this !. I’ll be waiting for it!. Love to have you check me out and see what you say about my health/ trt …. Where are you located?. I’m by Chicago Illinois.. anyway doc what info / video you have based on info above!…
Hi David, thank you for your comment. I’ve seen many men with unilateral testicular cancer and sp orchiectomy, and 1 man that has bad bilateral, like you. I’d like to discuss your case with you and present it as a video. Please contact my office if you are interested. Go to my Testosteronology website and contact to reply. It would be great for the world to know what’s happening here.
TRT has fixed not only my low T but my low E as well. Both testosterone and estrogen were pretty low and I’ve seen an extremely positive change from increasing both hormones.
can’t wait for my first blood test after starting TRT. My estradiol was undetectable. T was 351. age 33. Still have not an effing clue why it had no e2. like, i was actually feeling sorta okay(relatively speaking). apparently having no e2 is hell. and so far, if my e2 has increased, i agree. estrogen is very beneficial emotionally.
Can it be too high and now "I'm insecure and I am overly sensitive"?? That is what I am experiencing says my doctor. I've never been insecure before trt, now I'm overly clingy and needy. Not sure the level but my testosterone is 1400 so dialing it back a little also.
Doc, I have been on TRT for about 6 years. I am 49 years old and a past Steroid user in my 20's and 30's. I have gyno and have found micro dosing 7-10mg per day of testosterone enanthate has kept my gyno under control and I do not have to use an AI. My total Testosterone runs about 560-800ng/dl. I have done this for about 2 years now. My E2 runs about 40-55pg/ml and I have great sex drive. You bring up a curious point, with the prostate. I have had issue this past year and ended up having a Urolift for BPH. My PSA always runs about 0.8ng/ml. My doctor has worked with me on this micro dosing and feels it is better in the long run, beings my LDL and HDL are not effected by the Anastrozole. I had always only took about .25mg a few days a week. and that kept my E2 about 17pg/ml or lower, but my sex drive was not as good. But maybe running this higher E2 is causing prostate issues? I will be talking with my doctor further at my next visit in August. I have considered seeing if I could administrate a micro dose of Boldenone Undecylenate to help control my E2. Beings I have done research and see that a lot of studies feel it lowers E2. I know it is a vet drug and it would be hard to get my doctor to okay. I had used it in my steroid years and really liked it with testosterone.
Hey Clyde, I know this is an old post but I’m just now reading it. How’s everything going with your E2?. Are you able to get back to micro dosing and not use an AI again or has your doctor steer you in another direction?
Good video doc ..too many problems regarding estrogen..first of all..having excessive estrogen for 2 3 months like we did back in the 90s during competing didnt cause so much damage ,like low libido,ed,but i would always notice problems with prostate like reduce flow..and it wasnt from dhts,most of the time would be from 19nors and test..i runed a gym through 90s up to mid 00s and i ve seen it in lot of guys..AIs wasnt around at the time..only SERMS Now for 3 months could be bearable some excessive estrogen, although we would use tamoxiphen on cycles and proviron..but what about beeing on TRT and have excessive e2 (and i dont mean into 100s..i mean 50 60)for the rest of your life..now thats a concern.. I havent found ONE..ONE single study that states "OVER" normal range of e2 is beneficial in any way for men reggardless the level of testosterone they have..think about it..the rest of your life !!!
Doc, let's talk progesterone. Important for libido, shrinking prostate, keeping estrogen and DHT in check and many more. Considered a female hormone - like estrogen was - we now know that TRT also crushes progesterone. For the last decade a lot of work has been done to educate about the values of estrogen and now's the time to start talking about the other 'female' hormone - progesterone. Looking forward to a video about it.
Aromatase inhibitors are weird. On 175mg Test E E3,5D i feel ok. If i add 5mg Aromasin on the injection days i feel really good. I loose water weight and my libido is sky high. But my joints do not feel as good as without the Ai even tho my E2 is way above reference range.
Does clomid block the estrogen receptors on the hypothalamus? I believe that testosterone increases because of that and the residual result is in increase in estrogen.
I see a physician here in Houston that uses Physicians Lab to run a 24 hour urine test that is very comprehensive and I've learned a lot from her over the years. She said that estrogen in of itself is not bad UNLESS you have poor liver function or other things going on that causes more of the estrogen you make to covert to E1 or worse, E3. There are things you should look at like 2-hydroxyestrone, 16a-hydroxyestrone, and 4-hydroxyestrone which is the bad boy. If someone has estrogen that is converting more to 4-hydroxyestrone then they are at high risk for cancer. I'm also in the health field as a clinical exercise physiologist and have studied functional medicine for nearly a decade. I also have training in TRT and I have learned a lot from my physician as she holds seminars on this topic. There's a lot of debate on whether a person should check all those markers, but from her experience she says most definitely. Just curious if you dive that deep with someone or if you think it's even necessary. Great video as I've learned a lot from you over the years as well.
I just started Exemestane, 1MG every 3rd day. hoping for the best, unfortunately i could not lose weight even on 1600 kcals a day while weight training and running. 180cm @ 93kg
Let’s not forget bodyfat levels will greatly skew estrogen levels. Higher body fat patients will have more estrogen receptors for estrogen to doc to. Lean subjects that aren’t high aromatizers rarely will need an AI on a typical hrt dose (200mg/cyp per week split in 2 doses). I’m typically 10-12% bodyfat year round and don’t use an AI on 200mg/week. I throw in DIM on occasion if needed.
@@hanikhattab I’m not a dr but in my opinion yes. Of course blood work would be very telling. I would assume an AI would be needed with your trt. If you could get bodyfat levels down under 15% eventually then you might be able to keep estrogen levels in range without the AI.
@@Ibaneddie76 sorry for the delayed response. I am on testosterone cypionate. 150mg a week divided in 2 doses every 3.5 days. I’ve done as much as 250mg a week but honestly more is less in my experience over the last 2 years. I also do 150 min of stable state cardio as week (135HR) and 6 days of lifting, with 500 push ups a week super setted into lifting. Last, I eat from 1pm - 9pm and have limited my calories to 2,800-3,200 daily. I am 180, 5’9” and stay around 11% - 12% body fat all year long. I’m lean with vascularity and visible abs at 55 years. I’ve been told I look 35 (but I don’t agree). Hope that helps. The test is just a helper for motivation and recovery. It’s 25% of the equation. The above is all the work.
@@dlvox5222 your regimen is extremely similar to mine. 150mg of test c250 split into 3 doses a week. No AI. my estrogen stays in a 30-70 window. You never mentioned what yours runs at. Care to share?
As always thanks from ITALY DOCTOR: I have a question for you: I need some advice to do TRT, is it better to use sustanon 250mg or testosterone enanthate? thank you again.......
Hi Italy! Great question! The difference between the “esters”, apart from half-life, ester peak kinetic dynamics and concentration/mL, will be fundamentally dose based and frequency of injections. Everyone has different biochemistry. I always try to give my patients the lowest possible dose, at a frequency of “micro-dosing” that can be sustainable. So many men start off trying to take tiny injections every day or every other day and realize that they can not maintain this regimen. Most of my patients end up taking injections every 5 days. This frequency seems to be perfect and sustainable for most men. However, I treat every man one-on-one and fine tune him personally. This is what all doctors need to do for their patients.
I ended steroid use about 2 years ago yet my Ostradiol continues to be very low…I am feeling a lack of libido and energy from it. I’m curious how I could increase this…if I commenced TRT I imagine some of the testosterone would aromatise into estrogen and then I would be fine? The thing is I don’t have children yet and I wouldn’t want begin TRT and shut myself down…
Do some men aromatize poorly? I am 60, not on TRT and have a total T of 750; my estradiol ( sensitive testing) is 10. Is that concerning and do men ever supplement with low doses estradiol to be in a healthier balance? Thank you
Its trash dude. The day my clinic couldnt get HCG anymore and tried talking me into staying, and using clomid instead, i walked tf out and never returned. It was a Sad day starting UGL, but im stable, and got my protocol dialed in Myself, it was a rocky road, LOTS of trial and error, but the vendors legit so that made it easier and I did all my own bloodwork. But theres no substitute dude, you want to keep your balls? You want to one day have kids? HCG, or not at all. You use clomid when you come OFF of test to restart your brain out of suppression. Other then that, dont touch it. Besides, I Like my Eye Sight. No way am i going to use clomid lmao. HCG or bust.
I hopped on TRT 4 weeks ago and suddenly in the past few days I've been moody sad angry and emotional, like a woman. After feeling like a man of steel Achilles gigachad last week. Might it be high estrogen?
Could be but don’t speculate and than just decide to take Anti Estrogen. Do blood work and go from there. If you go by feeling you can mess yourself up for weeks.
If you have Gyno naturally does it make it worse ....I am on Test cypionate and only take 100mg per week but that 100mg puts me at 1050 test level....I had lived with gyno my whole life semi mild....but in the back of my mind am worried it would get bigger....I am not on an AI
I was strong working out for years and now I'm crippled from the lower back down to my feet are numb. I mean I can't feel anything and have lost 75% of my lower strength. I have a nerve conduction test scheduled soon and physical therapy also soon. ER docs. tell me they think sciatic pinched nerve. This has been going on since the last September. Can you give me any advice to what this might be? Thank you and God bless.
Might be time for stem cell therapy. Flex Lewis has a video on his personal channel documenting his stem cell therapy in Columbia that may be useful for you to watch.
I am 35 and feel like shit i no it must be low testosterone how much is a basic amount to be taking anyone no how to find out i have had it in the past but want to take a steady anount now trt wise.
Can someone please help me with an answer I am taking sus 250 1 ml a month is that optimal or i need to take more I just want over all health and be lean as possible
Most people use 75-100 mg of testosterone per week on the low end. With some people doing better on more. 200 mg per week seems to be what most TRT doctors prescribe. It depends on the person though.
Hey, is this protocol still working for you? Crazy that is keeping your lh that high. Could mean test recovery would be really easy if you ever wanted to get off
Hey Doc I have a nonworking pituitary gland from a removal of an adenoma I’m on all synthetic hormones my numbers all look good but still 0 Sex Dr. I need help
I started Turk a few weeks ago. There are definitely anabolic effects, albeit natural ones, or so I’ve read. After some initial research, I’m going to cycle it 12 weeks on - 12 weeks off. Not because it’s necessarily dangerous but rather your body adapts eventually. Give it a shot but don’t get the cheap stuff on Amazon. Typically $50/month is what the real stuff costs.
My e2 got up to above 80, my Dr put me on 1 mg anastrozol a day. My e2 has been sitting at 25 for over a year. I currently take 150 mg week. What is your thoughts?
This is great information. I’m 42 just had my test levels all checked & my test is 260. Dr says I’m good. All normal. Really? I feel awful No energy. But all good according to them. 249-836 is normal. I want to scream.
@@johnnysideburns6500 there’s no such thing as natural test boosters except for good diet and exercise. It should be illegal for companies to sell test booster products. It really is one of the biggest ripoffs on earth. Get a good pro trt doc and eat and sleep good.
You can get the stuff online lmao. Literally my primary care doctor told me what website to go to. Why tf are people tripping about this stupid “doc won’t prescribe” dilemma?😂
so what are the E=2 levels a guy should aim for? You promote your test kit. Great. So if Joe the Plumber gets an E-2 reading of 50? What does he do? What does it mean? What if he gets a reading of 104? What if he gets a reading of 150? What if he feels great at all the readings? Why even test for it then?
You haven’t listened to anything he’s said. He’s saying there is no number you should aim for. Some people have no bad side effects on high levels of estrogen. if you have estrogen related symptoms then you can test for it to confirm/check your levels. If you feel good and have no symptoms then higher estrogen is better than low
I just recently did a cycle of 500mg Test E a week and about 30-50mg dbol 5-6 days a week and it gave me anxiety and depression that ive never seen before and almost ruined my relationship with my gf. I stopped it and am now trying to pct and have to get blood work done, but any thoughts or comments?
Sounds like high estrogen levels. High levels make you angry, blue, emotional. Notice how your gf acts around her period? 500mg test is not bad , I believe if you use anavar or drop instead of dbol, will keep estrogen low, both those are DHT variants.
@@MB-rr1fb Took test for 5 weeks and started the dbol about 2 weeks into test so 3. But started seeing psychological effects (anxiety/depression & mood swings) shortly after starting dbol
When I let my e2 get in the 50s sex drive is great for about 6 weeks or so..then I lose my sex drive.. my sex drive will die almost instantly if I lower e2 too fast with an AI.. aromasin works best for me no side effects 25mg once a week. .arimidex raises my blood sugar and crashes e2 quarter tab once a week
i am 48. I was taking some dbol and test togther and i learned about the blowfish effect from that in a big way. i took one shot of test (250 mg) and during a 6 week time period immediately after i took dbol 3 times per week before training. I blew up like a blowfish on 40 mg doses of dbol. so I stopped test, stopped dbol, and got Arimidex. I took .5day 1, 1 mgday 2, 2mg day 4, 2mg day5 I saw my edema go down immediately aftr the scond dose. I am now just going batty til monday when i will begin a small dose of 100 mg test cip once per week, and no other compounds. I think that should keep me recovered fin for my job, which is extremely physical.
Divide up the dose. That way your T and estrogen levels will stay level. 1x a week will give your body a roller coaster effect. I'm not saying divide 100 but if you take more that's what I would do if I were you. Dbol is notorious for the side effects you had especially taking it just 3xs a week My job is also extremely physical and I'm 50. Trt makes a big difference
@@Jeffthedude15 Thanks for the comment. I am a welder and I want to be 240 lbs. I am 330 now. I was a powrlifter that bouncd up and down th scale for 7 years for comptitions. I am now ready to lean out and it's a bitch. I have to have the calories for 10.5 hr days, but i need to be much m ore bendy/flexible --espcially in the knees and waist in order to be a better welder. the extra weight is slowing me down. But test makes me hold water. I have about a month's worth of anavar left and I;d like to dose gthat up with about 100 mg test per week. I have some CIP to go through, some PROP to go through, then i was thinking about Sustanon for the long haul (cycling off and on with blood work etc.) But first i have to be able to get leaner. even if i take 300mg test per week divided up, I will retain water and get nowhere on the scale. but damn man, i went without anything for a few months and the recovery suffered. i need that test. and the dbol is a recovery GOD. letting the test saturate my blood at 300mg per week in 100 mg doses would take a bout 3 weeks and it would be an annoying, frustrating, end result of still not being anywhere i want to be scale wise. I am knocking my head against a wall. Wbhen the clothes fit, you don't need a scale, ya know? HAHAHAHA Fuck my life man.
@@larrymasterspowerbuildingc4477 I've dbol in the past. It made me strong but will make you hold water. I'd get off that. Stick with the Anavar if you want an oral. But dividing up 2 or 3xs a week should help some people microdose every day. Good luck 👍
I agree men take ridiculous amounts of Serms and AIs I also felt the best on TRT when my estradiol was highest sex drive through the roof and physical strength was enormous .
I’m on Androgel 1% and experimented with 12.5mg of Enclomiphene citrate 3 times per week for 2 months. It spiked my t level to high normal and put my free t off the chart. I noticed firmer testicles, better ejaculate volume. I’m off it now and would consider the same regimen in another 6 months
I put myself on a low dose and did not feel much different despite the elevated T. My libido definitely increased and testicles seem to gain size. Still waiting on my CBC bloodwork results. I would recommend it if you’re concerned about fertility and atrophy
@@ginor8416 ah well that’s exactly what I’m looking for. I myself don’t care so much for fertility but my girlfriend does so I wanna monitor it, but I want the size and increases all the way around. Sounds like it was a positive experience.
@@ginor8416 100%. I go in Thursday to check my levels while I’m still on HCG. I luckily got maybe 2 months supply left and then I’m gonna compare. They want me to take Clomid twice a week with 2mgs of armidex split twice a week too… I feel like both of those are way too much and the doses need to be split over the course of a couple of weeks or done in a cycle with Clomid maybe. I definitely need a little extra help with the estrogen since I was having side effects around 40+ in my levels so I’m curious to see where they are now before I make any assumptions.
I don’t understand why oestrogen should be responsible of prostate enlargement cause all teens would have enlarged prostate 🤣. It’s not oestrogen it’s simply the balance free testo and estradiol that is off.
Thank you so much Doctor! You are educating us and helping us take care of our health while getting the benefits of trt. You are a generous man. Bravo!
I need to start on TRT but i am nervous as I’ve had three strokes due to an injection fraction at 23%. I was a very active 64 year old. Very healthy (so I thought) don’t smoke or drink, and not overweight. My cardiologist is just managing my symptoms by slowing down my heart. BTW, my blood pressure was 115/70 average. I need help
Wow 🤯 This makes me question my clinic so much. When I bring up details to them they are dumbfounded and don’t know what to say. I’m on 200mg of test c a week, 50 units of HCG twice and a week and 2mg of armidex twice a week.. My estrogen/Estradiol went up to around 40ish and I was having massive water retention (gained 20lbs super quick and felt like a water balloon), chest aches/burns around the outside of my chest, and anxiety and anxiousness. Originally I was on 1mg of armidex once a week with my test shot but they added the second dose to take with my HCG. All those symptoms went away. I will say though, that it’s hard to say wether my libido is better now or then. I wanna say maybe slightly better with the higher estrogen actually but it’s hard to say cause I’ve always had a big drive. But then you say dosing armidex twice a week is bad? I also had a few other guys I know personally (roid junkies) who said it sounded excessive too. I’m wondering if I should dose the second dose every other week maybe? I’m due for lab work soon so maybe I can play with it. I just do not want all those side effects to come back and I’m enjoying how I feel overall right now. Also, now that HCG is being banned, they want to give me Clomid possibly 2x a week and keep the rest the same. Will that not crash my estrogen? I’m ok with it going up if that means I can control the effects of it but to my knowledge and after hearing what you said, it sounds like 2x armidex at 1mg and Clomid being an estrogen itself and blocking estrogen , may lower it? I feel like my estrogen being around 30ish would be the sweet spot.
30 on estrogen was great for me. I first started trt with 200mg a week and ai twice a week. Estrogen was at 32. I felt phenomenal in every way. Mentally and physically. I stopped 200mg test tho cause it has me 2560 for test levels about 3.5 days post injections 🤣
Crazy part is literally all my blood work was the exact same as before taking TRT. Well I didn't check cholesterol. Bloods counts and everything else was identical tho.
I've been on clomid for 3 years 25mg a day. Seemed to do the trick for me. Estrogen is a bit high though. Not many docs here know how to assist. Hi from Australia
@@theironhornet695 I started seeing Eye squiggles after a month of taking it, and I have seen many in Reddit mention it too. Clomid blocks Estrogen receptors in many places, not just in the hypothamalus, so keep a watch for low estrogen symptoms.

11:05 - Yea I learned that... I was prescribed 1mg of anastrozole every other day. and it crashed my Estrogen. I kept telling my doctors that I was feeling horrible (depressed, unalivy, fatigued to the point where walking 5ft was impossible.) and wanted to know if there was anything I should change and they had no idea. I had to find out for myself that my e had likely crashed and then I asked for a test, and they told me the level was "

Joint pain, anyone? Came off TRT, took an AI about a week after my last dose (120mg/week)... Started with joint pain that week and it's now been a few months. Estradiol was at 49 the high side and now is at 22.
You’re the best Doc. Thank you for all that you do for us!
Hearing this making me wanna leave my trt clinic and realize they may not know as much as they should. They got me on 1mg tablets for anastrozole. They had me on hgc, but now it's clomiphene due to laws on hgc they said.
Your video is really making me question how much they know now.
I remember they didn't test my estradiol either. They did total test.
Same here man. Mine tested everything aside from free test but have me on armidex 2x a week and also swapped out my HCG for Clomid.
@@TheJLAMAR23 I do understand the clomid swap atleast. Has to do with some new law, my clinic told me that and that I didn't have to take it either.
@@tonyredemann2001 I get it too. HCG was reclassified as a biologic but man it blows. HCG was awesome. I had to go without it a month and when I came back it definitely helped a ton. They also told me the same thing too, but recommended I take either Clomid or gonaderllin till they had other options.
@@TheJLAMAR23 yea I'm not too big on the clomid. I only take the stuff for testicle shrinkage cause mine gets bad, even at low dose TRT. The clomid doesn't help tho like the HCG did.
So how are you, do you feel good, what are taking now?
Also a discussion around HCG vs Gonadorelin.
The chemistry of the body is always trying to balance itself out. Adding exogenous testosterone skews this balance and estrogen is simply rising in response to it in order to re balance that seems to be the case from my research. I also second the comment on progesterone. There needs some discussion of that too as well as prolactin.
I’m a bigger guy as well my e2 is high. I pin .15 every other day to mitigate estrogen. I do have Arimidex I can take if needed. So far since starting TRT a lil over 2 months ago. I’ve noticed some weight loss and massive increases in energy.
@@FIFAxGUNNER why would u take exogenous testosteron?
What about trt for men having 2times testicular cancer , and result is being castrated . No balls . Since I was 15 I had my 1st case and 21 with my 2nd case and have been using trt for 10 years + . My blood pressure is always high , my blood is thick. Causing me to donate blood and or drain some blood out of my body . I have been on test Cypionate since my urologist put me on it over 10 years ago. I have mood swings, depression and anxiety. I’m at 1.5 -2 ml per week to keep me in the range of natural test levels, and every time I get checked my levels aren’t accurate enough to stay on a constant dosage . It always fluctuates. Please make video about TRT and no testicles and doses and all info you have on this !. I’ll be waiting for it!. Love to have you check me out and see what you say about my health/ trt …. Where are you located?. I’m by Chicago Illinois.. anyway doc what info / video you have based on info above!…
Hi David, thank you for your comment. I’ve seen many men with unilateral testicular cancer and sp orchiectomy, and 1 man that has bad bilateral, like you. I’d like to discuss your case with you and present it as a video. Please contact my office if you are interested. Go to my Testosteronology website and contact to reply. It would be great for the world to know what’s happening here.
TRT has fixed not only my low T but my low E as well. Both testosterone and estrogen were pretty low and I’ve seen an extremely positive change from increasing both hormones.
@RJon2006 Same here! Best decision ever.
can’t wait for my first blood test after starting TRT. My estradiol was undetectable. T was 351. age 33. Still have not an effing clue why it had no e2. like, i was actually feeling sorta okay(relatively speaking). apparently having no e2 is hell. and so far, if my e2 has increased, i agree. estrogen is very beneficial emotionally.
Can it be too high and now "I'm insecure and I am overly sensitive"??
That is what I am experiencing says my doctor.
I've never been insecure before trt, now I'm overly clingy and needy.
Not sure the level but my testosterone is 1400 so dialing it back a little also.
Doc, I have been on TRT for about 6 years. I am 49 years old and a past Steroid user in my 20's and 30's. I have gyno and have found micro dosing 7-10mg per day of testosterone enanthate has kept my gyno under control and I do not have to use an AI. My total Testosterone runs about 560-800ng/dl. I have done this for about 2 years now. My E2 runs about 40-55pg/ml and I have great sex drive. You bring up a curious point, with the prostate. I have had issue this past year and ended up having a Urolift for BPH. My PSA always runs about 0.8ng/ml. My doctor has worked with me on this micro dosing and feels it is better in the long run, beings my LDL and HDL are not effected by the Anastrozole. I had always only took about .25mg a few days a week. and that kept my E2 about 17pg/ml or lower, but my sex drive was not as good. But maybe running this higher E2 is causing prostate issues? I will be talking with my doctor further at my next visit in August. I have considered seeing if I could administrate a micro dose of Boldenone Undecylenate to help control my E2. Beings I have done research and see that a lot of studies feel it lowers E2. I know it is a vet drug and it would be hard to get my doctor to okay. I had used it in my steroid years and really liked it with testosterone.
Hey Clyde, I know this is an old post but I’m just now reading it. How’s everything going with your E2?. Are you able to get back to micro dosing and not use an AI again or has your doctor steer you in another direction?
Still running the same protocols. Micro dosing Test and not taking any AI.
Good video doc ..too many problems regarding estrogen..first of all..having excessive estrogen for 2 3 months like we did back in the 90s during competing didnt cause so much damage ,like low libido,ed,but i would always notice problems with prostate like reduce flow..and it wasnt from dhts,most of the time would be from 19nors and test..i runed a gym through 90s up to mid 00s and i ve seen it in lot of guys..AIs wasnt around at the time..only SERMS
Now for 3 months could be bearable some excessive estrogen, although we would use tamoxiphen on cycles and proviron..but what about beeing on TRT and have excessive e2 (and i dont mean into 100s..i mean 50 60)for the rest of your life..now thats a concern..
I havent found ONE..ONE single study that states "OVER" normal range of e2 is beneficial in any way for men reggardless the level of testosterone they have..think about it..the rest of your life !!!
Doc, let's talk progesterone. Important for libido, shrinking prostate, keeping estrogen and DHT in check and many more. Considered a female hormone - like estrogen was - we now know that TRT also crushes progesterone. For the last decade a lot of work has been done to educate about the values of estrogen and now's the time to start talking about the other 'female' hormone - progesterone. Looking forward to a video about it.
I would love to see him do a video on progesterone.
Have you used progesterone? Has it Increased your libido?
Aromatase inhibitors are weird. On 175mg Test E E3,5D i feel ok. If i add 5mg Aromasin on the injection days i feel really good. I loose water weight and my libido is sky high. But my joints do not feel as good as without the Ai even tho my E2 is way above reference range.
Interesting thanks.
When I was 14 I remember I had a bit of gyno, it vanished eventually but I really was scared.
Does clomid block the estrogen receptors on the hypothalamus? I believe that testosterone increases because of that and the residual result is in increase in estrogen.
Thank you very much Doc… Excellent🙏🏽
I see a physician here in Houston that uses Physicians Lab to run a 24 hour urine test that is very comprehensive and I've learned a lot from her over the years. She said that estrogen in of itself is not bad UNLESS you have poor liver function or other things going on that causes more of the estrogen you make to covert to E1 or worse, E3. There are things you should look at like 2-hydroxyestrone, 16a-hydroxyestrone, and 4-hydroxyestrone which is the bad boy. If someone has estrogen that is converting more to 4-hydroxyestrone then they are at high risk for cancer. I'm also in the health field as a clinical exercise physiologist and have studied functional medicine for nearly a decade. I also have training in TRT and I have learned a lot from my physician as she holds seminars on this topic. There's a lot of debate on whether a person should check all those markers, but from her experience she says most definitely. Just curious if you dive that deep with someone or if you think it's even necessary. Great video as I've learned a lot from you over the years as well.
This DR name please?
I wish I lived in Conneticutt. Canadian docs are so far behind Tom. 😫
Thank you for saying that about anastrozole. My doctor kept wondering why my HDL is in the tank now I know not to take it. Thanks.
I just started Exemestane, 1MG every 3rd day. hoping for the best, unfortunately i could not lose weight even on 1600 kcals a day while weight training and running. 180cm @ 93kg
Exemestane comes in 25mg tablets. Anastrozole comes in 1 MG.
Thank you for the valuable information. At what point do you start Anastrozole- based on Testosterone/Estrogen ratio or symptoms alone? Thank you
Fuck dude I need a doctor like this
you frequently say "micro doses" of TRT. What do you consider a micro dose?
Huge thanks doc. Will definitely be checking this out very closely!
Let’s not forget bodyfat levels will greatly skew estrogen levels. Higher body fat patients will have more estrogen receptors for estrogen to doc to. Lean subjects that aren’t high aromatizers rarely will need an AI on a typical hrt dose (200mg/cyp per week split in 2 doses). I’m typically 10-12% bodyfat year round and don’t use an AI on 200mg/week. I throw in DIM on occasion if needed.
So does that mean if I have over 20% body fat and prone to gyno then taking an AI will be better to optimize TRT?
@@hanikhattab I’m not a dr but in my opinion yes. Of course blood work would be very telling. I would assume an AI would be needed with your trt. If you could get bodyfat levels down under 15% eventually then you might be able to keep estrogen levels in range without the AI.
My bp is high right now because my estrogen is high (67.6) so how do I win?
I dumped my AI’s 2 years ago. My estrogen runs high. But I feel great. On 150mg a week.
I you don't mind saying what are you taking test e?
@@Ibaneddie76 sorry for the delayed response. I am on testosterone cypionate. 150mg a week divided in 2 doses every 3.5 days. I’ve done as much as 250mg a week but honestly more is less in my experience over the last 2 years. I also do 150 min of stable state cardio as week (135HR) and 6 days of lifting, with 500 push ups a week super setted into lifting. Last, I eat from 1pm - 9pm and have limited my calories to 2,800-3,200 daily. I am 180, 5’9” and stay around 11% - 12% body fat all year long. I’m lean with vascularity and visible abs at 55 years. I’ve been told I look 35 (but I don’t agree). Hope that helps. The test is just a helper for motivation and recovery. It’s 25% of the equation. The above is all the work.
@@dlvox5222 your regimen is extremely similar to mine. 150mg of test c250 split into 3 doses a week. No AI. my estrogen stays in a 30-70 window. You never mentioned what yours runs at. Care to share?
Since most men will deal with gyno, how does this advice apply to them? It doesn't does it.
@@progressthroughpainyou wont get gyno on cipoinate😊
As always thanks from ITALY DOCTOR:
I have a question for you:
I need some advice to do TRT, is it better to use sustanon 250mg or testosterone enanthate?
thank you again.......
Testosterone cip.
Hi Italy! Great question! The difference between the “esters”, apart from half-life, ester peak kinetic dynamics and concentration/mL, will be fundamentally dose based and frequency of injections. Everyone has different biochemistry. I always try to give my patients the lowest possible dose, at a frequency of “micro-dosing” that can be sustainable. So many men start off trying to take tiny injections every day or every other day and realize that they can not maintain this regimen. Most of my patients end up taking injections every 5 days. This frequency seems to be perfect and sustainable for most men. However, I treat every man one-on-one and fine tune him personally. This is what all doctors need to do for their patients.
@@thomasoconnor1570now im on TRT 125mg testo enanthate every 6 day.
And sometimes i take 0.5 mg anastrozole for gyno.
That's all
I ended steroid use about 2 years ago yet my Ostradiol continues to be very low…I am feeling a lack of libido and energy from it. I’m curious how I could increase this…if I commenced TRT I imagine some of the testosterone would aromatise into estrogen and then I would be fine? The thing is I don’t have children yet and I wouldn’t want begin TRT and shut myself down…
Take an estradiol valerate tablet. Or even hcg might work in your case
Do some men aromatize poorly? I am 60, not on TRT and have a total T of 750; my estradiol ( sensitive testing) is 10. Is that concerning and do men ever supplement with low doses estradiol to be in a healthier balance? Thank you
24 hrs after my last TRT injection last week, I gained 12 lbs in 36 hrs with +2 edema to the knees. no sign of it dissipating anytime soon.
What the hell? What kind of reaction is this? Crazy!
Best Gyno Dr in the world is Dr Rick Silverman in Boston Massachusetts

I'm on 150mg of Clomid a week and 1 mg of Anastrozole. My Ultrasensitive Estradiol is at 48!
Thank you Doc.
I love this
I've also read that flax is recommended as an anti estrogen by the medical world.
Open a trt clinic already
But what is the impact of high e2 on the prostate? Any relation?
Any one have thoughts on Enclomiphene in place of HCG?
Its trash dude. The day my clinic couldnt get HCG anymore and tried talking me into staying, and using clomid instead, i walked tf out and never returned. It was a Sad day starting UGL, but im stable, and got my protocol dialed in Myself, it was a rocky road, LOTS of trial and error, but the vendors legit so that made it easier and I did all my own bloodwork. But theres no substitute dude, you want to keep your balls? You want to one day have kids? HCG, or not at all. You use clomid when you come OFF of test to restart your brain out of suppression. Other then that, dont touch it. Besides, I Like my Eye Sight. No way am i going to use clomid lmao. HCG or bust.
Can you make a video on Humanofort?
Does high estradiol make you sweat more ?
If my estrogen starts heading towards the 30s in the 50s. It's a shitstorm I won't get erections I have acne on my back what a mess.
So what’s doses and readings?
Hey doc is t safe to take L-carnitine with hcl creatine
I’ve been on now for 18 weeks 300mg a week I’m not seeing any differences . I’ve gained a little muscle to be honest but nothing bad as yet
hmm... something is not dialed in maybe work with merick health from derek MPMD
The test you are taking is either fake or underdosed then.
What about Nolvadex?
Is it save when my nippels hurt?
Do you think I can tell a difference between 50 mg a week of 200 or 65 mg
When does DHT come into play?
I would imagine the prostate problems with TRT come from DHT, not estradiol
When you stop HCG as pct. Does test crash back?
I hopped on TRT 4 weeks ago and suddenly in the past few days I've been moody sad angry and emotional, like a woman. After feeling like a man of steel Achilles gigachad last week. Might it be high estrogen?
Could be but don’t speculate and than just decide to take Anti Estrogen. Do blood work and go from there. If you go by feeling you can mess yourself up for weeks.
You should always do blood work before, while and post cycle.
500mg per week on Test Cyp. How much Aromasin?
If you have Gyno naturally does it make it worse ....I am on Test cypionate and only take 100mg per week but that 100mg puts me at 1050 test level....I had lived with gyno my whole life semi mild....but in the back of my mind am worried it would get bigger....I am not on an AI
Great info I have estradiol through the roof my endo was like eh good for u Lol
What do you consider a micro dose? I do 75 mg twice a week for 150mg what do you think?

100 - 150 mg per week is a standard TRT dose
Micro dosing can be all the way down to once a day. I myself go with 50mg 3 times a week
I'm on TRT but my dr. also put me on clomid. My first test and what tf do I have? Estradiol is almost pegged. SMH. I'm stopping Clomid NOW!

Most people use 75-100 mg of testosterone per week on the low end. With some people doing better on more. 200 mg per week seems to be what most TRT doctors prescribe. It depends on the person though.
Clomid can actually work while on TRT. I take 12.5mg EOD while on 100mg of Cypionate. My LH came back at 3.8, so it really can work!
Issue with clomid is it can affect peoples mood in a negative way even in low doses.

Thank you brother 😄🙏
Doc what do you think about Turk and Ecdysterone? Is there any benefit to these or is it a supplement money scam?
I started Turk a few weeks ago. There are definitely anabolic effects, albeit natural ones, or so I’ve read. After some initial research, I’m going to cycle it 12 weeks on - 12 weeks off. Not because it’s necessarily dangerous but rather your body adapts eventually. Give it a shot but don’t get the cheap stuff on Amazon. Typically $50/month is what the real stuff costs.
Nutrissa is the brand I bought, 500 mg per serving for $50 month supply

so what are the E=2 levels a guy should aim for? You promote your test kit. Great. So if Joe the Plumber gets an E-2 reading of 50? What does he do? What does it mean? What if he gets a reading of 104? What if he gets a reading of 150? What if he feels great at all the readings? Why even test for it then?
You haven’t listened to anything he’s said. He’s saying there is no number you should aim for. Some people have no bad side effects on high levels of estrogen. if you have estrogen related symptoms then you can test for it to confirm/check your levels.
If you feel good and have no symptoms then higher estrogen is better than low
I just recently did a cycle of 500mg Test E a week and about 30-50mg dbol 5-6 days a week and it gave me anxiety and depression that ive never seen before and almost ruined my relationship with my gf.

Sounds like high estrogen levels. High levels make you angry, blue, emotional. Notice how your gf acts around her period? 500mg test is not bad , I believe if you use anavar or drop instead of dbol, will keep estrogen low, both those are DHT variants.

Divide up the dose. That way your T and estrogen levels will stay level. 1x a week will give your body a roller coaster effect. I'm not saying divide 100 but if you take more that's what I would do if I were you.

Can someone post this on the trt subreddit so these idiots will stop taking 2mg of armidex with their“200mg” trt protocol 🤦♂️
I agree men take ridiculous amounts of Serms and AIs I also felt the best on TRT when my estradiol was highest sex drive through the roof and physical strength was enormous .
I’m on Androgel 1% and experimented with 12.5mg of Enclomiphene citrate 3 times per week for 2 months. It spiked my t level to high normal and put my free t off the chart. I noticed firmer testicles, better ejaculate volume. I’m off it now and would consider the same regimen in another 6 months
So you liked the Enclomiphine?
I put myself on a low dose and did not feel much different despite the elevated T. My libido definitely increased and testicles seem to gain size. Still waiting on my CBC bloodwork results. I would recommend it if you’re concerned about fertility and atrophy
@@ginor8416 ah well that’s exactly what I’m looking for. I myself don’t care so much for fertility but my girlfriend does so I wanna monitor it, but I want the size and increases all the way around. Sounds like it was a positive experience.
As trt improves better protocols will be developed. In the meantime I’m the lab rat. Get regular CBC bloodwork and t level check to stay safe
@@ginor8416 100%. I go in Thursday to check my levels while I’m still on HCG. I luckily got maybe 2 months supply left and then I’m gonna compare. They want me to take Clomid twice a week with 2mgs of armidex split twice a week too… I feel like both of those are way too much and the doses need to be split over the course of a couple of weeks or done in a cycle with Clomid maybe.
I definitely need a little extra help with the estrogen since I was having side effects around 40+ in my levels so I’m curious to see where they are now before I make any assumptions.

I don’t understand why oestrogen should be responsible of prostate enlargement cause all teens would have enlarged prostate 🤣. It’s not oestrogen it’s simply the balance free testo and estradiol that is off.
Thank you so much Doctor! You are educating us and helping us take care of our health while getting the benefits of trt. You are a generous man. Bravo!
I need to start on TRT but i am nervous as I’ve had three strokes due to an injection fraction at 23%. I was a very active 64 year old. Very healthy (so I thought) don’t smoke or drink, and not overweight. My cardiologist is just managing my symptoms by slowing down my heart. BTW, my blood pressure was 115/70 average. I need help
Progesterone will keep prostate normal.

For most men thats far too much to cruise full time on.

Wow 🤯
This makes me question my clinic so much. When I bring up details to them they are dumbfounded and don’t know what to say.
I’m on 200mg of test c a week, 50 units of HCG twice and a week and 2mg of armidex twice a week.. My estrogen/Estradiol went up to around 40ish and I was having massive water retention (gained 20lbs super quick and felt like a water balloon), chest aches/burns around the outside of my chest, and anxiety and anxiousness. Originally I was on 1mg of armidex once a week with my test shot but they added the second dose to take with my HCG. All those symptoms went away. I will say though, that it’s hard to say wether my libido is better now or then. I wanna say maybe slightly better with the higher estrogen actually but it’s hard to say cause I’ve always had a big drive.
But then you say dosing armidex twice a week is bad? I also had a few other guys I know personally (roid junkies) who said it sounded excessive too. I’m wondering if I should dose the second dose every other week maybe? I’m due for lab work soon so maybe I can play with it. I just do not want all those side effects to come back and I’m enjoying how I feel overall right now.
Also, now that HCG is being banned, they want to give me Clomid possibly 2x a week and keep the rest the same. Will that not crash my estrogen? I’m ok with it going up if that means I can control the effects of it but to my knowledge and after hearing what you said, it sounds like 2x armidex at 1mg and Clomid being an estrogen itself and blocking estrogen , may lower it? I feel like my estrogen being around 30ish would be the sweet spot.
30 on estrogen was great for me. I first started trt with 200mg a week and ai twice a week. Estrogen was at 32. I felt phenomenal in every way. Mentally and physically. I stopped 200mg test tho cause it has me 2560 for test levels about 3.5 days post injections 🤣
Crazy part is literally all my blood work was the exact same as before taking TRT. Well I didn't check cholesterol. Bloods counts and everything else was identical tho.
I've been on clomid for 3 years 25mg a day. Seemed to do the trick for me. Estrogen is a bit high though. Not many docs here know how to assist. Hi from Australia
y the f are you taking clomid year round? dead man walking
Drop the clomid do trt injections, clomid is not good for you long term.
No long term studies show any real side effects compared to trt. So I'm not sure where the death side comes in.
Stay away from steroids in all costs.
@@theironhornet695 I started seeing Eye squiggles after a month of taking it, and I have seen many in Reddit mention it too. Clomid blocks Estrogen receptors in many places, not just in the hypothamalus, so keep a watch for low estrogen symptoms.
