Why I Went On TRT

Why I Went On TRT
In this video, I share my own story about testosterone replacement therapy. I cover the steps leading up to it and why I ultimately made the decision to take control over my health. This was a challenging video for me to make because there is a big stigma in society surrounding steroids and has lead to men feeling ashamed and guilty for even thinking about getting help.
You are not alone. But there is no free lunch in life. Make sure you are transparent about why you are going on TRT. Transparent with your loved ones, medical practitioner, etc.. That is my biggest piece of advice I can give you anyone, and the piece of advice I feel confident in sharing. If you have maxed out all areas of sleep, nutrition, stress management, and exercise, don't be afraid to take the lifeline.

    48 before I finally started TRT. When the little things like mowing the lawn start to feel insurmountable, it’s time to get checked. I was way low and probably had been for 7-8 years… trying antidepressants, vitamins, etc. Fellas, during your yearly physical, or any other time for that matter, ask your pcp for a testosterone test. If it’s in the normal range, only THEN look into head meds

    Just started TRT last week 200 cypionate a week, 1000 mg a month “they give me a free shot each month” 230$ a month and basically let me play around with when or how I want to use it Once I get going I’ll probably take 400 first week of month then re shoot end of week to keep 400-200 Test in system at all times Beginning level 395 age 30 128 free test 16shgb all other levels in good ranges Anxious to see my first labs back I’ve already had a vasectomy and have 3 kids so not worried about fertility Just concerned with PSA level and going bald…high estrogen not too big of a concern for me personally as long as it not causing issues if it ever causes gyno I’ll just have surgery to remove Btw never used peds before in life, just had low testosterone always knew I did since like age 19 Btw good honesty in video, don’t see much of that concerning these types of topics

    For sure. I went on the HCG thinking it would preserve production but it’s definitely a concern. I am going to test my sperm soon. Keep you posted.

    I am actually off it now. I was taking the finasteride to manage a genetic predisposition to aromatics testosterone into DHT. My father had prostate cancer so didn’t want increased testosterone to affect my prostate. Because I am now dosing more often (every 2 days 30mg) I am off the finasteride and anestrozol and will recheck my blood work to see if my DHT and estradiol are still in check. Hope this helps!
