In this week's nutrition rant...I wanted to cover a topic unrelated to nutrition that people ask me about all the time...Testosterone Replacement Therapy. Who should consider it? How does it work? What are the REAL risks and side effects? Is it dangerous? How to use it effectively. Lets dive in

Perfect I’m on day 6 I’m excited to watch this. Also Josh since I train in the morning people say it’s cope and to do 30-60g carbs depending on bw. But I’m thinking going 100+ since I had no meals

@john love your content. There actually is oral trt now. It is called kyzatrex. More expensive than injections. You need to do a morning dose and lunch does everyday with food.

My total test was 639, but I had all the symptoms for years. Started test and already feeling a lot better. Fck the numbers, they are all BS

Is it true that the hcg supplies the hormones for brain health? I'm on trt and hcg but to be honest, if there is no reason at all other than the reduced testicle size to take it I'd rather not

Hey i would like some advice if possible , for context i am 19 years old and i know i am so young still but last month i got my blood work done , big hormone panel and my testosterone came back at 70 and tbh i was not that shocked as in the last few months i couldn't sleep , i wake up without any alarm at 5.30-6 ,0 libido ,i did also get pretty lean for the first time in my life and i like to train a lot ( mix of strength and running) . I also do not drink any alcohol, or smoke or consume any substances . I also feel pretty low mood and i seem to be more,, emotional " if that make sense and i don't know what to do

I’d also add, not all clinics are created equal in their knowledge either. Some are better than others. Do your research and talk to more than one provider.

Great content. Had a friend recommended clomid for increased test. Thoughts?

I’m 46 and compete in amateur strongman. I’m currently trying to lose a lot of body fat (was 301 now 265) and wanting to settle at about 240 in the next year or so. Should I wait to get tested for trt until I’m at my lower bodyweight since I have about 30% body fat right now or will the trt possibly help me recomp? Thanks for all the great information!

Seriously, don't listen to the doctors for trt they are dangerously bad at this stuff. My endo is straight out of med school so it's still not being taught properly and at this point he's just there to get the blood test i request through insurance lol.

I just don’t want to pay for it for the rest of my life. If I can go another decade not paying for it then I want to haha. Ya boy has other bills I’m trying to pay

Literally arguing semantics here but Testosterone is technically not an "anabolic steroid", it's the principal male hormone. The synthetic derivatives are called anabolic steroids.
