I dont understand why they make so hard to get TRT and as Attia says he thinks many clinics are going to be shut down. Ive been suffering from low T more than a decade, I was always in low end ofthe range but not below the range. I just had enough and went to Asia and to TRT clinic. Results after a year: I bacically had no libido before now I think its what men normally have. I have had erection dysfunction 10-15 years. Now that things is more like it was in my 20s. High cholesterol has went to normal High fasting blood sugar (Im T2 diabetic) has went to normal which metformin could never do. I feel the pump and energy at the gym that I felt in my 20s (Im 50 now) --> I want to go to gym again, not force myself like past decade More lean (which of course contributes to many others things but TRT was the catalyst for me to get there. back lean that I used to be) Everything in my life is better and bloodwork too. In the long run I really dont care if this is going to take few years of my life or make me live few years longer (which I believe is more likely since I do everything better, even my diet) since that life is woth living and not being living dead. For me TRT was solution. Who does it hurt if people who has these symptoms tries TRT if he has low T?? I just dont get it..I dont have any other reasonable answer for this but medical companies fighting againsnt TRT so they can sell more antidepressant which lower even more T and their bussiness is shining. Guys, if you cant get help where you live, if you can go to places where you can try but dont go to black market since you never know what you get there.

I make my protein "shake" similar way to Attia, I use half/half unflavored and flavor whey powder mix, milk substitute, frozen berries and a tablespoon of greek yogurt plus one additional ingredient that makes all the difference which is GELATIN (soaked & melted). The end result is protein mousse that I can eat with the spoon (frozen berries set the gelatin in few minutes) as liquids don't induce the satiety in me.

Using it right now after shoulder surgery w/ TB4. I think it's helping but the truth is you'll heal anyways and you probably shouldn't take chances on destroying a surgical repair, so erring on the conservative side seems wise. I'm WAY ahead of the PT schedule but it's not really possible to know how much the peptides contribute.

I had no idea what it was about DHEA and when I got my bloodwork done my DHEA SULFATE level was 1000 51.7-295.0 ug/dl. Estradiol was 49.9 7.02-49.06 pg/ml. Testosterone tot. 369.2 193.-740.0 ng/dl free Testosterone 77.72. 30.0-150.0 pg/ml SHBG 25.4. 19.3-76.4 nmol/L I wasn’t on it very long, but now I’m on TRT no AI dose of .1mg a day of 200mg/ml. Have only been on it for 3 weeks. 🥩👍

I was around Peter Attias testosterone levels when i started trt. Started when i was 36 and been on it for 2.5 years now. It was the best decision i made personally. My mental health has dramatically improved, didnt take it for any fitness gains. Started it for energy and better sexual function, it exceeded my expectations in that area tbh, its actually kind of annoying now, in the libido department lol. The best thing i got out of it is the dramatically improved mental health, and im so fortunate for that. Kinda sucks being on another medication for life, but i think i made the right choice.

Derek with excited expectation "What was her testosterone?". This was a great interview and you couldn't pick a better pair.

Progesterone is not the same thing as the many synthetic progestins in oral contraceptives and IUD’s. Natural progesterone converts to the “feel good hormone”allopregnenalone, but synthetic progestins do not. Synthetic progestins are implicated in risk for blood clots and cancers. Natural progesterone is available in US pharmacies by prescription so I don’t see why anyone would prescribe or use synthetic progestins.

Hi, so far great as always! But Is it really true that DHEA has no utility? I’d argue about that one. I think cortisol:dhea ratio actually can say a lot and can be a very valuable biomarker. No utility for T… maybe (for men). No utility at all. Debatable IMO. What about for example Dehydroepiandrosterone ability to protect hippocampal cells from oxidative stress-induced damage?

I was answering in the context of its impact on Testosterone levels as that was my interpretation of the question, although in hindsight I can see how you might take that clip as if I was giving a sweeping answer for all applications. I think it has context dependent utility for men and women. But for backfilling Testosterone levels, my answer is the same as shown in the podcast.

Ultra low dose Anastrazole, .25mg 3x/week has been great for me... I've used both clomid and Test gel and the Anastrazole has been better for sex drive, mood then both by far... I'm someone Who has high but normal estradiol low normal total test very low free test and high shbg...

The reality is most men don’t want to go to an endocrinologist for TRT because most of them are absolutely awful at understanding testosterone and male sex hormones in general. I know it’s a big claim to say a hormone doctor doesn’t know about hormones, but I have experienced this myself and read about absolutely WILD protocols Endos put their patients on every day on various forums where people come for help.

I would like to know your thoughts on injections for women. Especially for those that have absorption issues and don't love the pellets. The studies for women are so lacking, and I've seen such conflicting opinions.

Estrogen is anabolic because it requires energy generated by catabolic reactions. Therefore, the estrogen increases metabolism by creating a route through the cell membrane toward the nucleus, in which it stimulates various genes to regulate protein synthesis.

Wow. This is a lot of info for even the most educated viewer. I would recommend having a third person in these type of videos to act as a moderator or an advocate for the average viewer. For example, these guys were about 5 minutes into talking about Clomid in great detail before either of them said enough for me to infer that it is a drug to help improve testosterone (if that is even the case). I would also be concerned (especially in today’s environment) that a viewer would hear this conversation, smart guys talking with big words, and just assume all of this means they should be taking or doing something that may not even be advocated for directly here. This is excluding all the people who can (and will likely) pull short clips of this video to advocate for their point of view or theory.
