what’s going on guys welcome to the
channel
I actually logged on to LabCorp and went
to look at all my different blood tests
one of them being a $1,300 blood tests
which is crazy I’ll put that link right
there but so I went through all of them
and unfortunately I don’t have every
metric for each individual test one was
by my first horrible doctor the next one
was by a men’s clinic and then the last
two were from my former doctor so they
didn’t all do the same tests so I don’t
everything to compare but found it
pretty interesting so let’s jump in
so my first test here in April of last
year my test level was at 288 my doctor
told me because I was not below the
threshold of 264 which is the limit for
lab court and then I also didn’t have
muscle loss problems getting erections
that he would not even consider giving
me the gel so yeah otherwise up until
that I thought it was a pretty good
doctor but he’s old he’s retiring soon
he’s checking out those are black riding
test doesn’t feel like dealing with
people’s hormones he just wants to
prescribe antibiotics and stuff like
that he wants to touch your boobs Nikki
cough so he didn’t ask me for estrogen
even test me for any of that stuff
that’s not in his repertoire he’s just
he pumps pills he puts the thing on your
back makes you cough whatever it is what
it is but that day when he told me that
haven’t gone back since never would I
hope he has a great retirement so two
months later I got this blood test from
a men’s clinic not gonna mention which
one have good experience but not
affiliated with any of them and they did
a pretty thorough one so for this test
item self-medicating with 200 milligrams
of testosterone sippy 1/8 I was doing
100 milligram shots twice a week I
wasn’t eating anything else not a single
thing so this is just pure 200
milligrams of testosterone sippy Nate so
my testosterone was 1060 for my free
test was forty three point five you can
see my DHEA was high this is because I
took the supplement DHEA I before really
giving
- this in doing research I was watching
a documentary I believe it was called
growing young and it’s with that doctor
who’s older but he’s jacked and he said
that he took testosterone he took DHEA
so I found out I could buy it on Amazon
and I was like hey this guy’s doing it
let me try it
so PhD I was crazy high I don’t take
that anymore and that’s the reason for
that and on this test my shbg was 25 so
also on this test my LH which is
luteinizing hormone was 0.1 and what
that basically shows my body is not
making testosterone on its own and the
other thing to show is that estrogen was
seventy to seventy two point seven to be
exact so my estrogen on numbers is crazy
high and a lot of people like to say
around 40’s I did not have any symptoms
and the outside just oily skin a little
of acne but I do not have any symptoms
of high estrogen I never really have but
if you are sensitive to estrogen that is
a number that you and your doctor
definitely need to monitor because high
oestrogen or low estrogen can mimic
almost all of the side effects of low
testosterone so you don’t want to go
crazy high you don’t look crazy low
that’s one of those things you have to
get dialed in that’s tough to do but you
need to work with a good doctor who
knows what he’s doing so that you can do
that so on this next test my doctor did
not order Astra Jenner unfortunately I
would have really liked to see it I was
put on a protocol that was 200
milligrams of testosterone sippy 1/8
1000 I use of HCG and a half a milligram
of rim of that so here my testosterone
is eleven seventeen and my free
testosterone is thirty nine point two
and the only other thing notable is that
the vitamin D was that half the mark you
know half the range roughly while taking
500 IU’s a day as a supplement so
something I thought I mentioned my
testosterone was 1086 my free test was
thirty-nine point two and my shbg was
twenty-one point two so it dropped a
little bit everything dropped a little
bit but nothing nothing monumental just
blood testing vary from day to day so
could just been a weird
who knows so now on to Bloods so
hemoglobin and hematocrit you’re on
testosterone your body makes more red
blood cells get your blood thicker it’s
not really something to worry about two
months unless it’s crazy high but as you
get older if you have high hematocrit
you’re more put into stroke so thematic
rate is something that you want to watch
some of the symptoms of hematocrit are
headache flush chest and face
tingling of your fingers your toes your
hands and feet will go to sleep easier
you’re sitting on the toilet or you’re
laying in bed with your arm over your
head something like that more prone to
get tingly fingers and toes so keep an
eye on that if you feel the symptoms I
have a video on how I might accredit how
you can lower it so in April 2000 18
this was just normal this was no
testosterone or nothing
my hemoglobin was 16.2 and my hematocrit
was forty seven point six so that’s just
the baseline no testosterone enough then
just normal dude walks in there gets a
blood test so two months later and I had
only been on testosterone for about a
month maybe maybe five weeks my
hemoglobin went up to seventeen point
one and my hematocrit went up to 51 so
almost four points on five weeks on test
so you can see you’re an addict your
level can jump up pretty dramatically so
something to keep an eye on keep an eye
out for the symptoms you see the
symptoms talk to your doctor so just
three months later my hemoglobin went up
to seventeen point four and my
hematocrit went up to 52 point two so my
other videos I thought was 54 on
researching the highest white matter
it’s ever been tested it’s fifty two
point two so this is what I started to
feel a little bit of the symptoms but
they went away so and I didn’t get
tested at that time when I had the
symptoms so I’m not sure if it went down
or I don’t know my Mac it’s kind of
weird I sometimes I get symptoms and
then they just go away without doing
anything different anyone else have that
so leave me a comment let me know
interesting to hear that so my most
recent blood test was 17.9 I’m with
hemoglobin and my America is 51.9 so
overall the amount of time I’ve been on
trt my hematocrit has gone up about four
points now I just did recently donate
blood so the general rule of thumb or
consensus is that if you give a pint of
blood you will drop your hematocrit
levels by three points
now this isn’t permanent you know you’re
an addict that will start to creep up
again but if you’re having symptoms and
you’re able to give blood in fear you
can drop your hematocrit by three points
so it’s something to think about
I’m actually getting blood work soon
I’ve been taking to Rincon I been eating
some grapefruits and I donated blood so
I’m really interested to see what my
American levels are I will do a video on
that on my new labs once I get them back
so like the video click subscribe if you
want to stay on this journey with me
we’re just gonna keep pumping out
contact so the next row lipids so your
cholesterol all your fats in your body
in your blood basically testosterone is
not known to be good for your lipids
over time it raises the bad cholesterol
and it lowers the good cholesterol so
I’m gonna go through these numbers I’m
gonna leave us on the screen I got a lot
of reading to do a lot of numbers so if
I don’t just gonna mess them up so in
April 2000 18 my triglycerides and
triglycerides are a type of fat that are
found in your blood when you eat your
body converts any calories it doesn’t
need to use right away into
triglycerides stored in your fat cells
and then it’s released when you need
energy
so my triglycerides were 165 my total
cholesterol was 165 as well
my HDL is 41 which isn’t even that good
in the first place and my LDL is 85
which is not super great either but I
wasn’t eating super healthy I wasn’t
exercising so you know it’s to be
expected when you eat bad and they don’t
exercise and you’re overweight your
cholesterol is not gonna look that good
in general but let’s see how
testosterone change that for the worse
actually so on 618 my triglycerides are
141 so they drop 24 points
my total cholesterol dropped to 145 so
drop of 20 my HDL dropped to let’s
that’s test right there and my L do is
at 78 so that’s drop seven points so
overall in these two months I didn’t eat
a lot healthier and I was exercising way
more four or five days a week I’m not
sure if that’s the cause of the drop in
the overall cholesterol but I found it
interesting now at 9:18 my triglycerides
saved the same my total was 151 it went
up six points my HDL went down to 35 and
dropped four points which is not great
and my LDL went up ten so my most recent
one my triglycerides we’re at 148 they
went up seven my total cholesterol was
down one at 150 my HDL went up to 37
which is good and my healthy L went to
83 down five overall my cholesterol
seems to be getting better it seems like
testosterone I’m kind of hurt it in the
beginning a little bit and now it’s
starting to get better
it could be diet and I’m exercising more
you know I it’s hard it’s hard to
speculate on why certain levels are what
they are but I am definitely eating
better exercising more so hoping to get
my HDL up a little bit more and my new
blood test and I got here soon will let
me know if that’s the case I also I eat
a coke everything with vegetable oil I
do take a fish oil supplement I do eat a
handful of mixed nuts pretty much every
day and try to get my body good fats to
try to raise that HDL level because
that’s that’s a level that you want in
good range and when you’re on trt it’s
harsh so you got to do stuff to make it
easier for your body so giving it those
good fats the avocados the olive oils
mixed nuts stuff like that fish oil
overall I just kind of wanted to
document you know what just straight
testosterone did for my body which baby
great results test wise my estrogen was
out of control
even though I didn’t feel any symptoms
but you may experience horrible symptoms
for that and then
showing the two blood tests my current
protocol which is 200 milligrams of
testosterone
Cynthia Nate a half a milligram of HCG
and a thousand odd use of HCG so I just
want to document the process if you’re
considering TRT or your doctor wants you
to go on TRT you know this is this is
just my blood work but I just want to
show you what your blood work can be if
you’re on testosterone and some things
to watch for some things to keep track
of and things to monitor when you’re
taking testosterone remember guys if
you’re new to this you are changing your
body’s hormones it’s not something to
play around with so listen to your
doctor but also do research on your own
don’t get all of your information as the
word of god from reddit or facebook or
for me but do your own research there’s
a lot of research out there on Google
Google com search stuff you’ll find
information gather all that information
piece it together come up with your own
conclusion and speak to your doctor
about it let them know I’ve done this
research this is kind of what I think is
going on what are your thoughts can we
work together and try to figure this out
you know things like that so if you’re
playing on taking this journey do
research research it is your friend not
gonna harp on it too much another thing
is don’t make drastic changes your body
does not like drastic changes to your
hormones so don’t go from 100 milligrams
to 200 they’ll go from taking Arimidex
to just not taking it or doubling up on
your REM attacks or doubling up on this
I’m saying your guyses don’t make
drastic changes another thing is if
you’re trying to dial in your dose don’t
change two variables at the same time
when you change few variables at the
same time if you do notice some type of
change you don’t know which one it is or
the combination of the two so if you’re
trying to dial in your dose definitely
recommend changing one thing at a time
don’t change it too drastically do it
gradually and see what happens
so that’s gonna do it guys I want to
talk your gear off I just want some
advice for some new guys out there if
you’re considering this I just want to
share my blood work found it interesting
