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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
After a history of taking PED's I came off completely prior to a surgery, and stayed off for a while during recovery. My body composition definitely changed during that time. I ran levels and scored 319, 300 free, I beleive. My doctor did not think this was low enough to be of concern despite my concerns of low libido, weight gain, lack of energy and motivation. Jumped back on cycle after being denied, and my symptoms recovered within a month, and physique greatly improved. I feel great, despite taking higher than what would be considered a therapeutic dose.
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.
@@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.
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.
Had my testosterone tested a year ago and it was 330. My GP tested because I was gaining weight, had brain fog, no libido and other issues. He said it was fine and he would prescribe Saxenda for the weight gain. I have finally found another provider who will hopefully give me the help I need. It is tough in Canada to get treatment for low T.
My TRT did not resolve my libido issues after 2 years and then I decided to get my prolactin tested with my own money despite 3 different doctors saying I shouldn't test for it, turned out I was 140x the top of the reference range and then MRI confirmed I had prolactin tumor. After 2 months of cabergoline my erections are flawless now, just like they were 15 years ago before I lost my ability. I never dreamed I would be functional again.
I weighed 160 pounds with visible abs when I was 200 ng/dL. People who are privileged to have normal testosterone will victim blame and shame you and tell you that your low T is all your fault and if you would just lose weight then your HPTA would magically fix itself. It is so sad that anyone could think the HPTA knows how much you weigh. 186 ng/dL is a clear sign of a systemic problem. Here is what you need to get tested: FSH/LH (this will let you know if the pituitary is sending the signal to your testes to produce testosterone) and also check for prolactin to see if you have a prolactin secreting tumor that is shutting down your HPTA. You will never fix a level of 186 just by jogging and reducing body fat.
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....
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.
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.?
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 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.
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 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.
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.
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!

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?
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.

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.

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
