lot of a lot of content coming out today
we’re going to talk about jet Enzo and
jet Enzo is an oral testosterone pill
and it’s the first testosterone pill
ever approved by the FDA
it contains testosterone and decanoic
also known as Nobita or a feed over in
the UK and Australia and what’s
interesting about this is testosterone
and deca no way is a really long ester
meaning that you can inject it once
every 10 weeks once every eight weeks
whatever but in its pill form as jet
Enzo you have to take two pills a day
one in the morning one in the evening
and fun fact you may not see this pill
hit the market for a very long time and
I’ll tell you why for the end of the
video but for now we’ve got to do a
medical disclaimer before labonz you
manage
[Music]
j’t Enzo is made by a company called
Clarisse pharmaceutical and this isn’t
the first time they’ve tried to have a
pill form testosterone for trt approved
by the FDA the first time they tried to
do this the medicine was called aura tax
for some reason order tax was not
approved even though it contained
testosterone on deca no eight which is
widely approved and used throughout the
world what’s with all these medicine
names j’t ends up seems kind of like a
girly name for a testosterone pill at
least zyo sad which is a man-thing
auto-injector at least it sounds kind of
cool I think they should have called it
something like it do too stiff bro jack
doan or extrema men on paper just Enzo
seems pretty cool it’s a pill form it’s
a soft gel cap pill in different
milligrams that you take in the morning
and you take at night and the company
Claire’s pharmaceutical claims that it
absorbs well and doesn’t they haven’t
noticed any liver toxicity which has
been the downfall of almost every oral
testosterone pill that’s been created so
far but later on in the video I’ll talk
about some of the shortcomings of j’t
Enzo depends au comes in strengths of
158 198 and 237 milligrams each one of
those is one soft calf they also have a
316 and a 396 milligram but those are
two pills and they’re split so inferior
you’d be taking four a day
Deut Enzo has all of pretty much the
same side effects of injecting
testosterone the gels the creams all
that good stuff but they add nausea and
diarrhea to the list so I’m not gonna
get too deep into the syphax de Tenzin
was put through some clinical trials and
it did seem to work pretty well but I’m
gonna put this up on the screen here
this is some literature from their study
and what’s on their website which kind
of Concerned me the first thing is that
87% of men in these trials hit a
testosterone serum level of 300 or
higher
so while 87 is a good number that means
that 13% of men in the study were not
able to reach a serum level of 300 or
higher so it could be that some men just
do not react to this well or it’s not
absorbed well it just doesn’t work for
them to raise their levels but 87% still
pretty strong you know percentage for a
medicine
thing that kind of jumped out at me is
that it says 87% of men reached the
serum concentration of 300 over a four
month period so I’m not necessarily sure
I mean I’m sure there’s a man that hit
it pretty quickly but there were some
men at least one made probably a couple
where it took a full four months for
them to get their serum testosterone
levels to 300 or plus so that could mean
that you know you might be prescribed at
ENSO and you may take you up to four
months before you even get your levels
above 300 so you may really not see
benefits for a long time and that’s not
if you’re one of those 30% that just
don’t respond well to this at all and
your serum levels will never get to 300
so then I saw this chart that showed the
men’s serum testosterone levels at
different times throughout a 24-hour
period and it seems that it takes about
two hours for it to kick in and two
hours after the two hours kick up to you
know six seven hundred and then you
start to decline and so for the next
seven or so hours your testosterone is
just climbing down and the last two
hours before you take your next pill
your testosterone levels actually lower
than when you started and then you take
another two tens of pill and you follow
the same pattern what’s interesting is
that a testosterone such a long-acting
ester that can be injected once every 10
weeks is peak is speaking and troughing
within a 12 hour period and actually
traveling below your baseline before you
start it out so I’m not sure I’ve never
taken this so I have no idea if you
really feel those peaks or valleys or if
it’s just because it’s included in one
day you’re not really gonna notice it
but I guess we’ll have to get some
real-world studies and some real-world
testimonies before we’ll know that so
another little tidbit on this chart
shows that j’t NZO has actually absorbed
better and seemingly gave better
testosterone serum levels when the
patient ate 30 grams of fat for
breakfast as opposed to 15 now
testosterone fat are kind of friends in
a lot of different ways so I found that
interesting but 30 grams of fat for
breakfast that’s a decent amount of fat
that’s a good chunk for the day so I
found the dosing chart and this is a
chart that they’ll probably give your
doctors so it tells them how to
this what to look for and the level that
they want you to be above when you’re on
your tens it was 425 now I think that
level should be a minimum of 500 but I’m
just a guy on YouTube and I’m not a
doctor I’m not any of that stuff that’s
just my personal thought what I found
interesting about this chart is that
this chart will basically tell your
doctor if you’re under 425 to continue
to Jack your dose up to the maximum of
396 and I’m not sure if that’s available
in the United States what I take from
that is that there are some men that can
take the 396 the two pills twice a day
that don’t ever get above 425 so I think
this harks back to that some men just do
not respond well to this so if you’re
taking the 396 dose and you’re still
under 425 210 Zoe’s probably not for you
but hey there’s always injections so
this goes on to say that one of the
patients in the studies took 20% more
just Enzo that he was supposed to didn’t
realize what he was tellin he’s fine no
worries but it found it interesting that
this one guy had a stroke from taking
testosterone and if you can guess what
his levels are while you can exert on
the screen 11400 so this guy was juiced
out of his mind
literally and that’s it that’s a pretty
high Wow it’s a lot of tests the
ingredients seem pretty basic even
though that Clara stated that they have
some proprietary process that makes the
undec no.8 more easily absorbed in the
body and circulated through the body
it’s basically the undec Inouye castor
oil some other oils some really a big
word that I looked into and it’s
basically a preservative now here comes
the fun part
pricing we have no idea what jet Enzo is
gonna cost no idea at all good Rx
doesn’t have it there’s no mention of
the price anywhere but if you have a
general concept of business
Clarisse has been trying to get this
medicine approved for over seven years
and that incurs a cost with all the
studies and the FDA filings and all that
good stuff so they’re gonna want to
recoup their money and plus turn a
profit that’s what companies do now on
top of that the FDA is approved klaris
for three year exclusivity meaning that
in the United
States the only company that can sell a
pill the forty our team with
testosterone is klaris so my guess is
it’s not gonna be cheap and I’ve got
some other things that I think support
that the first thing is sayest and as I
understand is about four hundred fifty
bucks and you get four little
auto-injectors a month and I know
there’s people like oh hey well they
have a program they give you the copay
it’s a free copay and you know they give
it to you for free okay gotcha
stick with me here and stick with me so
if you ever heard the term the first
hits free if you have you’re probably a
fun guy but anyway in medicine the same
principle applies so just heads up nose
or klaris nose that TRT is a pretty much
a lifelong treatment so they’re going to
do whatever they need to do to get you
started taking it and hopefully have
good results and you’ll be a customer
for life so Claire’s even thought about
what if you have issues with your
insurance and this indicates to me
that’s probably pretty expensive this
was 30 bucks a month your insurance
companies probably not going to make a
big deal about it
but they will actually front you your
first month’s prescription while you
deal with any issues with your copay or
your insurance to try to try to get on
this medicine so they’re like hey yo we
know you don’t have the money right now
but go I’ll give this to you but you
gotta go hit up ten down the street come
bring you back my twenty don’t think
that klaris isn’t making money even
though you’re not tagged they’re
basically waving or paying your
insurance company your copay we’re
subtracting it from what your insurance
company pays them so yours first
companies still gonna be paying them
they’re just not charging you and if
you’re getting something for free in
your doctor prescribed it yeah you’re
gonna push for it especially something
like TRT where you’re feeling bad okay
while this is not like a shady business
practice but you can see that the
pharmaceutical companies are
well-crafted they know what they’re
doing and they’re basically making it as
easy as possible for you to get on two
tens oh because they know you’re gonna
be on it for life here’s another thing
they know they know that let’s say a
year goes by and you know they’ve cover
they’ll cover up to two thousand dollars
so this was thirty bucks I don’t know
why they’d have a ceiling of two
the maximum benefits they’ll give you on
the jet Enzo go but here’s what they
also know they know that they’re most
likely going to have a rep that talks
for your doctor and their doctor is
gonna be well-versed in jet Enzo so
let’s say twelve months goes by and
you’re like hey Doc the decenzo is okay
but I know that it’s gonna be however
much next month
it’s wondering if maybe we consider
switching over to injections because I
know the 10 ml bottle is real cheap the
insulin syringes are cheap he’s gonna
say to you listen here mister patient
jet ends has been working well for you
you know you’re on the lower end of the
spectrum or maybe you’re at the middle
part of the spectrum and that’s good and
I don’t want to a change your protocol
and give you the ability to have a 10 ml
bottle of testosterone in your house and
deal with those scary needles and as a
matter of fact I actually had dinner
with the reps from klaris just last
night at Ruth’s Chris and they’re
telling me that men are having great
results on jet Enzo and it’s fantastic
so you’re sticking with jet Enzo I don’t
care if it’s three hundred sixty dollars
a month that’s just a made-up number
don’t sydney class so the end of the day
i have no idea how much attends oh it’s
gonna cost but they didn’t make this
medicine for charity and if you have any
past history of the pharmaceutical
industry when we spend lots of money on
research and development and studies and
trials and approvals
yeah they spent some money and they want
to get their money back do you remember
at the beginning of the video I said
there’s a possibility you may not see
just Enzo at your local pharmacy for a
very long time well here’s the reason
for that there’s a company called lipo
scene Inc and they currently hold four
US patents for a some form of a
testosterone pill for TRT and they are
currently suing klaris because as klaris
is in their eyes supposedly infringing
on their patents so along with not being
a doctor and not giving out medical
advice I’m also not an attorney so I
have absolutely no idea how this will
affect the release of j’t Enzo I do know
that pharmaceutical companies usually
have lawyers on staff and they have the
money to back up lawsuits so in
conclusion I feel like jet NZ and zai
ofsted are the pharmaceutical companies
way of taking really old medicine that’s
been proven effective
and creating new fancy delivery systems
in order to make money but the positives
from the trt community could be huge and
the reason I say this is that while they
had a three year exclusivity after that
they don’t have it anymore and people
can make generics of it so they can take
however much it cost and the generics
can come out and you can get it for a
lot cheaper and then you can use the gun
exit to get an even cheaper but I think
the biggest possible benefit I say
possible if klaris actually created some
type of special method of blending
testosterone with something else where
it actually absorbs well in the body and
doesn’t cause liver toxicity this could
lead to drugs that are even better than
jet Enzo I mean they could do something
with sipping aid or an anthe or suss nah
I don’t know but if they can even refine
that process even better at some point
maybe you take one pill a week maybe you
take one pill a day maybe once a month
who knows I mean science advances so
fast that pretty much anything is
possible so that’s gonna wrap it up guys
thank you for watching if you’re

get your levels tested
Fertility on TRT with HCG – Studies and Case Studies. Can HCG help with fertility on TRT? How does TRT effect fertility? Can you still have a baby on TRT?
what’s going on guys test your levels
here today we’re going to talk about HCG
TRT fertility and covers some studies
and case studies but I’ll give you the
basics real quick if you’re thinking
about CRT and somehow found this video
or you just started and you’re worried
about fertility taking testosterone by
itself will make you less fertile
there’s no question about that but there
are no guarantees that you’ll be
infertile on trt there are plenty of
guys that have had surprises because
they thought that because they were on
trt that they were just not fertile and
it was basically male birth control but
it’s not so fact 2 HCG can definitely
help restore your fertility and some of
these case studies will show that and
we’re gonna go through some of these
case studies and I’m going to leave
links down in the description of all
these studies so you can read them
yourself so let’s get started we’ll do
the medical disclaimer and let’s get
this started
it’s all about you manage
[Music]
so this first one basically when you’re
starting trt and you start injecting
outside testosterone and the drop of
intra testicular testosterone can lead
to poor swimmers within ten weeks of
starting even more alarming as the fact
that up to ten percent of men can remain
basically infertile poor swimmers after
cessation of TRT they did a study on
healthy men that were selected at
undergrad trt it was shown that their
inter testicular testosterone levels
dropped by 94 percent that’s a huge drop
however in those that received 250 I use
subcutaneously of HCG every other day
along with their trt the intra
testicular testosterone levels only
dropped seven percent so basically the
HCG basically maintained 87% of the
intra testicular testosterone that’s a
pretty big number eighty seven percent
but it stopped from dropping that’s
pretty big so it shows that HCG is
pretty powerful stuff and it can
definitely seems like it can definitely
help with fertility a lot
additionally in man you receive TRT and
500 years of HCG every other day they
basically doubled the dose an increase
in inter testicular testosterone but 26%
was observed
so it actually raised it up on men that
are on trt already so that hypo gonna
access has already been modified by the
trt and HCG actually jumped it up so
that’s pretty interesting so this is a
little snippet of a study that was done
on men who had abused anabolic steroids
and they basically said that 67% of the
men are covered to the proper
concentrations of swimmers within six
months however for some men it took up
to two years so some of these guys they
ran cycles they took whatever and
doesn’t say if they did post
psychotherapy with like plummeted or HCG
and some of these men took two years
before they were fertile again so
definitely think about that your
hormones are very powerful thing in your
body we sought to evaluate serum
testosterone response on the duration of
therapy of HCG mono therapy which is
just using HCG for men with symptoms of
hypoglycemia
but total testosterone levels above 300
so the study they’re basically looking
at men who had symptoms of low
testosterone they were lower on the
normal scale according to medical people
and they wanted to see what HCG would do
even though these men weren’t clinically
below but they had all the symptoms of
the 20 man included in the study
treatment indications included low
libido at 45% lack of energy at 50% and
edie at 45% the mean testosterone
improved by 50% from a baseline of 362
to 519 median duration of therapy was 8
months 50% of the patients reported
symptom improvement and their conclusion
treatment of hypokinetic CG for men who
have a baseline testosterone 300 or
higher appears to be safe and
efficacious with no adverse events I
found this study particularly
interesting because it’s one of the
first times I’ve ever seen doctors or
research scientists actually you know
say that men could have symptoms of low
testosterone but not on the not had
their testosterone levels lower than the
clinical normal which for some reason
keeps getting lower and lower every
single year anyway so I found that
pretty interesting that they were able
to reduce some of these men’s symptoms
and jump up their testosterone with just
HCG and HCG is a very simple shot it’s a
subcutaneous you can do it in belly fat
but fat you can do it in like a 30 gauge
little half-inch insulin needle it’s
basically water so it goes in real easy
pretty easy shot at the end I’ve got a
story of a 30 year old man who was in a
really bad situation and HCG and a
couple other things seem to help him out
but the story will only turn out good if
you click on that subscribe button and
you click like on the video otherwise
it’s gonna be a horrible story so just
do it a 47 year old man attending an
in-vitro fertilization clinic was
diagnosed with a really long word no
palpable testes no spermatozoa in the
were found and roken illogically serum
h LH and testosterone was undetectable
literally they ran a blood test on the
sky is LH FSH and his testosterone were
like zero undetectable that’s pretty
wild
I don’t know how this guy got out of bed
I don’t know why he’s going to have kids
but anyway I mean I just can’t imagine
having zero I mean I feel horrible
surprise he even had the motivation to
call this clinic that we can have a baby
they did an MRI on him and they
confirmed the testicular absence so they
treated him with our FSH and HCG at four
months almond size testes had developed
and with a puncture task they found the
occasional in mobile swimmer so six
months after the initiation of treatment
they had occasional mobile swimmers they
were successfully used for something to
fertilize an egg after 12 months they
revealed that they had three fertilized
eggs but they did not result in a
pregnancy as far as we know this is the
first time that objectively diagnosed
testes atrophy it can be successfully
treated with FSH and HCG so this guy
wasn’t on trt he just had some type of
medical condition or something going on
where his his boys were just you know
really not they’re not doing anything
and FSH and HCG actually bumped them
back up to where they needed to be I
guess I mean they didn’t have a
successful pregnancy but it sounds like
it got his system going and he would if
he wasn’t in such a bad case he probably
could have had a baby of some kind maybe
a boy maybe a girl so here’s here’s this
interesting story this is a horrible
story but it does have a good ending
because I know you clicked on that
subscribe button and you like the video
so we’re gonna go with the happy version
yeah the 30 old man was referred to our
clinic for endocrine infertility
assessment after going a unilateral
orchiectomy I know I didn’t say that
right but if you don’t know if were Kia
or ki or whatever or ki active or yet
orchiectomy is basically where they
removed one of your testicles but they
don’t go in the way that you would think
they go from the top
and they take your swimmers little
waterslide that’s connected to your boy
and they remove them and it’s a sad day
and it’s horrible and I know a lot of
you guys have gone through that I’ve
seen some of the comments and read it
and that’s horrible and I really feel
for you that’s a really bad thing to do
I have to go through boy alright let’s
get on to the happy part after they
removed his boy his boy blue your bye
Bob oh they reveal atrophy and
testicular adrenal rest tumors which
from what I gather are not cancerous so
it was kind of a misdiagnosis which is
really unfortunate for the guy the
remaining test he was also atrophied but
serum testosterone levels were somehow
within the normal range don’t know how
that is one’s atrophy the other ones
gone and somehow this guy probably on
the low end but somehow made it into the
clinical range so what they did is they
they added some HCG 1500 IU’s twice
weekly some FSH and then something that
I’m gonna do a video on later called HMG
which is what I’ve seen really good for
fertility it’s just really expensive so
it’s kind of the last resort if you have
an issues with HCG or FSH or you just
have an issues you can give that a try
but for later video so the end result
was normalization of testosterone levels
in a stable low swimmer concentration
with good good mobility so his boys they
had the mobility that you can last you
can right they were swimming they were
they were doing their thing so the good
swimmer mobility was achieved within 21
months of treatment this man was able to
father a child a supposedly beautiful
baby girl I don’t know if she’s
beautiful or not I hope she is well it
sounded really bad now I didn’t mean it
like that but I just meant that I anyway
so he was able to conceive a child and
with pretty much I mean three compounds
one of them being pretty expensive but I
mean as you can see this guy was pretty
much worst-case scenario only working
with one but four other one was really
atrophied and really not doing a good
job at all and with those three
compounds this guy was able to bounce
back and have a beautiful baby girl
so that’s really cool I found these
articles interesting because I do see a
lot of questions about fertility on trt
and to recap yes TRT will make you less
fertile will make you infertile no one
knows but I wouldn’t risk it and think
that taking trt is just birth control
but if bodybuilders out there that have
conceived while taking crazy crazy
amounts of all different kinds of stuff
so nature will always find a way so
nothing’s 100% just make sure that don’t
have any accidents if you want to have a
baby that’s cool but if you don’t don’t
think it’s birth control and HCG pull
all these articles together in these
case studies to show really how powerful
it is as a fertility hormone whatever
compound that can really help a lot of
men who may not be able to conceive
without it so I found that pretty cool I
always find stuff that with science
that’s really cool and stuff that just
really works and a lot of the time we
don’t know why it works but it works so
hey if it ain’t broke don’t fix it but
anyway guys that’s gonna wrap up the
video I’m gonna throw some videos up
here I’m gonna throw a subscribe button
right there I know you want to click on
it and as always if you’re new here
you’re still cool but if you’re a

Calcium D-Glucarate Possible TRT Benefits! E2, LDL, Protein Digestion
what’s going
on guys test your levels here thanks for
being here if you’re new click on that
subscribe button we got lots more
content coming up if you’re already a
subscriber you know it you’re awesome so
today’s video would normally be shot in
my man cave but since this video
requires a lot of large words and we got
some awesome Chinese cut cheap foam as a
sound proofing technique we’re gonna
give it a shot and see how it turns out
hopefully the audio quality is fantastic
so today we’re gonna be talking about
calcium deep blue Krait I don’t know if
that’s exactly how you say it but it’s
been recommended to me and I’ve seen it
pushed with a good amount in Reddit and
Facebook groups so I thought I would do
some research on it and see if it made
sense to take so this is a supplement
along the same lines as dim and in
theory it’s supposed to help your body
be able to get rid of some excess
estrogen and I’ve got links to the stuff
I’m taking I have links to calcium
gluconate
mixed with them I personally think
buying them separately makes more sense
from what I saw and the milligrams that
they give you you get more bang for your
buck that way but it’s all listed in the
description so I started reading up on
calcium deep blue curry I was like wow
this sounds like some pretty good stuff
they say there’s no level of toxicity so
it’s really not bad for you any excess
is excreted absolutely to explain this
I’m gonna read this because it’s kind of
a lot and I’m not that smart of a man so
one of the ways the body gets rid of
toxins through a process called
conjugation dirt and conjugation toxins
are packaged into water-soluble
compounds called glue core knives
liqueur knives are meant to pass through
the liver then through the bottle then
to the gut where they are excreted
however high levels of enzyme called
beta glucan I can inhibit this process
this enzyme separates the toxins from a
conjugate bond and allow
to be reabsorbed this allows toxins to
keep circulating in the body where they
may be fat tired and weak they may not
but they probably do so calcium deep
blue Krait prevents beta blue carotid
from disturbing this process
it keeps the toxins bound inside a glue
core 9 which is then removed from the
body toxins are most damaging in their
free form which is why you want them to
be bound / conjugated and released from
the body calcium gluconate inhibits beta
glucuronidase which allows toxins to be
removed calcium gluconate is absorbed in
the intestine and converted into a
molecule that inhibits inhibits beta
glucan glucuronidase g’s to possibly
increase elimination of toxic substances
for examples rats that were exposed to
carcinogens instead calcium gluconate
had a slower onset of tumor development
and smaller number of tumors than rats
that were not fed calcium D glue crave
calcium gluconate also increases
estrogen elimination which may reduce
estrogen levels in the body this is why
a lot of people recommended this and
I’ve seen post on this in these
different four hours this explains its
use as supportive care among estrogen
sensitive breast cancer patients however
positive results in animal studies do
not always be that you’re gonna get the
same results and use in addition no
clinical trials have been done to see if
it actually does lower estrogen so some
other things that they say it can do and
I’m sure there are some studies I
couldn’t find very many and I can just
find basic articles anyway so they’re
saying that it can decrease your LDL
cholesterol which is something that
rises up when you’re on trt it can
assist in protein digestion remove
toxins and excess
after June so when I saw this some way
okay I mean I don’t know how well it
works but a lot of people are saying
that decreases your LDL and removes
excess estrogen and also helps with
protein digestion and I read an article
on blog from some god I was taking this
and he said one of the reasons he was
attracted to it is that he works out and
eats a lot of protein now apparently
protein when it’s processed in the body
a lot of it can produce ammonia and if
you smelled ammonia it’s probably not
good to have a whole lot of it in your
body so he takes this to help with
estrogen and also to help with that
protein digestion so I was like wow this
stuff does pretty much three things that
would help me lower my LDL helped with
protein and lower semester gene so I got
some I got something yesterday and
you’re supposed to take two of these a
day which is a total of 1000 milligrams
they said that’s kind of like a standard
detox dose and some people go higher
than that but I’m gonna stick with 1000
right now and I’ve also got mine drinkin
got another pretty good video on this
coming out this stuff I didn’t think it
was it worked as well as it did but
anyway anyway that’s a whole other video
but so take these bad boys cause it’s
about time might as well do it on camera
Wow feel yesterday my body I feel oh wow
that’s fantastic
I’m considering doing an experiment and
let me know in the comments if you want
me to do this experiment today is
Thursday for me so I’m going to be
injecting 100 milligrams of test 500 I
use of HCG right my buck fat and I’m
considering not taking my normal dose
Arimidex which is one milligram per week
split in two doses for two weeks and
report back on if this stuff actually
does anything and I would have done this
with dim but I heard mixed stuff about
dim I’ve heard good and bad not that it
was like it was bad for you or you
synthos but it just didn’t lower
estrogen for some people but I’ve heard
a lot more positive stuff about calcium
v Glu curry so I thought hey it’s like
17 bucks or something for 60 days so I
was like nine bucks a month
I’ll give it I’ll give it a shot it’s a
little bit more expensive than other
decks and the red gum attacks but hey if
this is a natural thing and it actually
does help toxins get out of my body
lowers my LDL helps with protein
digestion and lowers my estrogen levels
sound like a win-win to me if it works
which I don’t know so once again let me
know in the comments so we’ll finish
this out in one study calcium deep blue
Krait was able to reduce the number of
estrogen receptors by 48 percent it has
also been shown to lower serum estrogen
levels by 23% keep in mind this sentence
that I just read I don’t know if it’s
for rats or for humans so keep that in
mind this is not medical device remember
I’m not a doctor I got a Corvette Racing
sure I have Chinese phone behind me so
do your own research
they say normal detox dose is five
hundred to a thousand milligrams a day
people with high estrogen may benefit
from taking as much as thirty thousand
to forty five hundred milligrams of dead
ask your doctor before adding any
supplement to your regimen ask your
doctor don’t ask me
calcium gluconate can interact with
alcohol and some other drugs that after
the liberal extend so if you have any
medicines or alcohol let’s be careful
and consult your doctor I’ll put links
up at links to these studies in the
description as well so if you want to do
some research so this was on rats it was
also shown that purified diets
containing calcium big blue Krait or
potassium hydrogen and glue tree marks
lowered serum levels of cholesterol and
female sprog dollar ass sprout dolly rat
I don’t know that existed that’s pretty
interesting
saying that it’s brought Dolly the
calcium the glue creates reduced total
serum cholesterol Morasca up to 14% and
lowered LDL cholesterol by 35% but had
no effect on HDL cholesterol these sites
provide a starting point for further
studies on the mechanism was calcium D
glue create lower serum cholesterol so
that’s pretty cool
so there you have some healthy rats this
is just another one it’s not really
related to estrogen or any of the other
stuff but let’s just see what said so
for the first time it showed that
feeding rats calcium the glue creates
supplement to diet after treatment with
the carcinogens inhibited tumor
development by over 70% supportive
evidence is presented that for the
theory that calcium DQ curry or inhibits
were delays the promotion phase of
memory carcinogen carcinogenesis by
lowering and adjust levels of estrogen
all and precursors of k17 Keo steroids
but these are diffracts so you know
there’s not a lot of studies on this you
know this is and if this is gonna be
studied it’s gonna be studied in women
and it’s gonna be studied for cancer and
it’s gonna be because when women or men
get breast cancer or certain cancers
that are sensitive to hormones they
usually give them some type of medicine
that removes estrogen which is a little
bit ex tamoxifen nodaks and possibly
calcium dechlorinate so I mean that’s if
it works the way a lot of these studies
are saying I mean I think it could be a
pretty good supplement out in or try to
see if it works for you but once again
this is not medical advice consult your
doctor I know a lot of people in the TRT
community are are very against Arimidex
or aromasin because they’re poison and
they make your bones brittle and all
that and they met it we don’t really
know every medicine had a side effects
of some kind
so if calcium deep blue Krait does all
the stuff that it does the lowering LDL
and helping with digestion of protein
helping with toxins helping with tumor
growth and all that good stuff and helps
lower your estrogen be fantastic natural
supplement for a TRT regimen once
yeah I have to try this I can’t
necessarily recommend this I can just
say that I have seen a lot of people say
positive stuff about this so I think
that’s it for the video guys let me know
if the phone worked it was 17 bucks so
it’s gotta be good stuff I mean it’s
bone 17 bucks for phone column using
high quality phone so anyway guys thanks
for watching so close yet so far away so
anyway guys thanks for watching
as always you’re awesome and get your
levels tested
Are SSRI’s Messing With Your Hormones and Fertility? Real Studies!
so before you watch this video I want to
stress stress do nautical advice from a
guy in a tank top especially Bolcom tank
top do not change your protocol do not
stop taking any medicine
talk to your doctor that’s the only way
to do it
[Music]
what’s going on guys welcome to the test
your levels channel if you’re new here
click on that subscribe button
lots of cool content if you’re
subscriber welcome back you’re awesome
so today I want to talk about
antidepressants and SSRIs but before we
do that we have to do a medical
disclaimer before about marriage I wore
this shirt today not to make you look at
my arms the whole video but I wanted to
stress the point I am NOT a doctor I
this is not medical advice would you
really take medical advice from a guy on
a tape top and as someone on reddit
recently commented on one of my videos
I’m not taking medical advice from a fat
kid wearing a gold chain and has spiky
hair and I totally agree with you sir
you should definitely not take medical
advice to me because I’m not a doctor
and this is not medical advice let’s get
started so it seems as a society that we
are definitely taking more
antidepressants and SSRIs and I’m going
to throw some charts up here from an
article that I saw showing that
basically a lot of people in the United
States are on antidepressants and SSRIs
they also tend to stay on them for a
long time and the scary part to me is
that this survey and information
contains data from children 12 years and
older so there’s lots of I guess kids in
the United States 12 and older who are
on antidepressants and SSRIs that’s kind
of a scary thing to me it seems that
society you know the more that we get
connected with the Internet and we live
in big cities with lots of people near
us and all the stuff we seem to get more
depressed and more crazy and all that
good stuff but hey this isn’t sociology
class so let’s move on specifically to
the SSRIs I’m gonna read you some
outtakes from some of the studies that I
saw while I was doing my research I’m
gonna probably skip over a lot of the
medical jargon because I’m not to be
able to say it and most of us don’t
really know what this means so we’re
just
over those parts selective serotonin
reuptake inhibitor selective saratoga
selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors
SSRIs use as a first line of treatment
in major depressive disorder are known
to exert negative effects on the
endocrine system and fertility aim of
the present study was to investigate the
possible endocrine disrupting effect of
six SSRIs fluoxetine paroxetine
citalopram
and it’s active sk Pope s – Jesus s
sinhala pram sertraline and fluvoxamine
wow that was tough all six SSRIs were
found to exert endocrine disrupting
effects on the steroid hormone synthesis
at concentrations just around C max
although the mechanisms of disruption
were all different they all resulted in
discrete testosterone levels furthermore
all SSRIs relatively increased the
estrogen / androgen ratio indicating
stimulating effects on the aroma taste
our study demonstrates the potential of
SSRIs to interfere with steroid
production and indicates that these
drugs should be investigated further to
determine any hazards for the users with
the exception of the fluoxetine group
the testosterone levels were lower in
all groups compared with the control
group the total testosterone level was
significantly lowered in the circling
group which was 40 compared to the
control verse 15 these data suggests
that SSRIs have a negative effect on
testicular tissues this negative impact
is markedly greater in the paroxetine
group to determine the exact mechanism
of action of these drugs on testicular
tissue well-designed randomized
controlled clinical studies are needed
on a larger population all three
compounds were found to interact with
the estrogen receptor
fluoxetine had dual properties weak
estrogenic at lower concentration and
anti estrogenic effect at higher
concentration sertraline shared the same
properties with fluoxetine but also
increase the ester all mediated
transcriptional activity paroxetine
presented only one type of effect the
ability to increase the ester
estradiol mediated transcriptional
activities SSRIs have been shown to
cause bedtime dysfunctions in patients
with an incidence of over 70 percent all
of these demonstrated effects may
suggest an endocrine disruptive effect
of SSRIs on the hypothalamic pituitary
gonadal access on bedtime steroid
metabolism or on estrogenic and
androgenic receptors as SSRI use can be
associated with low free testosterone
serum levels rodents study demonstrated
that flx
can have sexual brain differentiation
sexual behavior testicular development
and sperm production in rat offspring
exposed this is an interesting one but
it was only done on four people so it’s
not like it’s gospel it’s not two
thousand three thousand people it’s four
people four men so the median age of
these men were 40 years and their mean
testosterone levels to 77 all had a
rapid and dramatic recovery from major
depression following testosterone
augmentation basically TRT three of the
four subjects who underwent
discontinuation of the testosterone
under a single blind placebo treatment
began to relapse into depression so
that’s pretty interesting that you know
in this study of these four people
testosterone to help them with their
depression not saying it’s gonna help
you in any way not medical advice in any
way shape or form this one’s really
interesting and I’ve seen this a lot
online a lot men go into the doctor’s
office complaining of many of the
symptoms of low testosterone and instead
even they even though they’re given a
blood test it’s shown that low
testosterone they’re misdiagnosed as
being depressed and given
antidepressants and SSRIs and as we see
here going down that can actually make
things worse in theory in the studies
not medical advice
I don’t do medical advice the American
Association of clinical endocrinologist
alerts us to the prevalence of
hypogonadism
misdiagnosis in its adult male
hypogonadism guideline the patient is
normally placed on antidepressants
instead SSRI drugs have been found to
cause low free testosterone as well
sexual dysfunction low free testosterone
is indicative
hypogonadism all that being the case why
are we surprised that SSRIs and other
drugs causing hypogonadism of which
there are many lead to depression loss
of hope and ultimately yeah especially
in the young an already confused
situation is exacerbated with the
introduction of SSRIs as they slowly
demolish endocrine health whilst the
limitations of some studies reference
are obvious in terms of numbers and
perhaps testing methods there must be a
serious question raised as to why these
patients are not being properly
evaluated for hypogonadism before
putting them onto antidepressants so
that’s interesting in a few ways the
first one being that the endocrinology
society put this out but from what I see
online a lot of men who see
endocrinologist eventually realize that
they don’t really know anything about
TRT and a lot of them get turned away by
endocrinologist with low testosterone
numbers so that’s interesting
and it’s just it’s a it’s one of the few
medical things that I’ve seen come out
from a medical society or whatever they
are that actually is pointing out that
hypogonadism and lo T’s misdiagnosed a
lot in a lot of different ways and they
seem to always be put on medicines that
are advertised on TV and that have reps
that come to doctors so take that for
what it is yeah moving on with that said
new research comes up all the time
finding new things about antidepressants
they really aren’t well understood many
antidepressants medications are now
linked to the development of diabetes
birth defects etc although there are no
formal studies to link antidepressants
with low testosterone many people taking
these drugs are convinced that they are
the root cause there is really only one
very small scale study that found a link
between an antidepressant induced sexual
function and low free serum testosterone
I actually found these are all excerpts
from studies so there obviously are a
decent amount of studies but maybe this
was written a long time ago I don’t know
but it’s interesting to see that SSRIs
are sorry to be shown to cause a lot of
other stuff this one doesn’t really have
anything to do with SSRIs
but some
just did some experiments on neutered
adult male rats
the rats developed depressive like
behaviors that were reversed with
testosterone replacement they also
identified a molecular pathway and I’m
not even gonna read it in the
hippocampus that plays a major role in
mediating the protective effects of
testosterone this suggests that the
proper function of ER k2 is necessary
before antidepressant effects of
testosterone can occur it also suggests
that this pathway may be a promising
target for antidepressant therapies so
to end out the study based thing there’s
a couple studies here I’m just basically
reading the effects of the SSRI
some of these are rats some of these are
human tasks dose dependent reduction in
sperm count motility and increase in
abnormal sperm heads the fluoxetine
treated rats had a reduction of weight
in weight of sexual organs decrease in
sperm count and motility decrease in
plasma testosterone and FSH and a
decrease in the number of females that
were impregnated to men seeking
infertility evaluations who demonstrated
marked improvements semen parameters
after withdrawal of their
antidepressants the assimil Oh cram
treated showed a significant decrease in
sperm count and motility and an increase
in abnormal morphology the circulating
treated men had significantly reduced
sperm count increased abdominal
morphology increased DNA fragmentation
but no change in beauty the paroxetine
treated men should reduce testosterone
estrogen levels but no change in semen
parameters an increased DNA
fragmentation was found so while I’m not
telling you to change your protocol in
any way shape or form I just wanted to
bring some of these studies of medicines
that are widely widely prescribed and
are just getting prescribed more and
more and more and I think there really
needs to be a lot more Studies on this
and I know that the pharmaceutical
companies aren’t going to do this
because they’re not going to pay to do a
tennis that may make their medicine less
attractive to doctors and customers not
patients customers were customers to the
pharmaceutical companies so there’s two
things that are really really scary
about this the first off is that doctors
are prescribing these powerful not
heavily studied medicines on kids
12 years old I mean that’s really scary
I mean if it’s been shown in a couple
different studies that they could
possibly lower your testosterone ruin
your swimmers possibly you know inhibit
fertility later on in life and they’re
giving them to kids that are 12 years
old I mean that’s just I don’t know
that’s scary to me the other part that’s
really scary is the amount of times that
hypogonadism is misdiagnosed as
depression and people are put on SSRIs
when they really had low testosterone
there’s a couple factors that play into
that and I think you probably already
know what they are
the first one is TR T is testosterone
and that’s scary and that’s what
bodybuilders use and people get roid
rage heart attacks strokes prostate all
that good stuff all that stuff most has
been disproven but your doctor probably
doesn’t keep up on that testosterone is
not something people research that much
unless your tester levels and you have
an awesome YouTube channel with awesome
subscribers so on one side the doctor
could prescribe you testosterone or he
could prescribe you an SSRI he knows all
about the SSRIs because he’s been to
Ruth Chris he’s seen the presentation he
gets lunch from the reps you know hey
how are your patients on Prozac doing oh
you’re getting good results oh really
okay great great well I’ll come back in
a week we’ll bring you some lunch it’s
just really scary that God it’s so scary
to me that a doctor would rather
prescribe a medicine that messes around
with your brain chemistry over a natural
hormone that is made in the body that
happens to be low for whatever reason in
this patient it’s just so sad that the
social stigma of testosterone is so
strong that a doctor would rather
prescribe a medicine that has crazy side
effects I mean 70% of men have issues in
the bedroom that are taking SSRIs that’s
crazy to me instead of a hormone your
body naturally produces that has good
effects on the body such as muscle
strength energy all that good stuff it’s
just so crazy to me that we live in this
type of world but anyway guys I just
wanted to present you some studies that
I found while doing research on SSRIs
once again not medical advice
talk to your doctor don’t listen to a
guy in a tank top and a gold chain and
spiky hair who might be slightly chubby
who’s really just bulking but anyway
guys thanks for watching
you’re awesome and as always get your
levels tested
Micro dosing For Testosterone Replacement Therapy Explained! Pros & Cons
what’s going on guys test levels here
welcome back if you’re new here click on
that subscribe button
lots of new stuff coming out anyways
today we’re going to talk about
something that is starting to get more
popular in the TRT scene and it’s called
micro dosing but before we do we have to
do the medical delivery before labonz
you’ve managed to add to the medical
disclaimer I am NOT a doctor this is not
medical advice I’m not telling you to do
anything I’m just reporting back what I
see in the TRT community most TRT
protocols that come from the
manufacturer or from doctors are having
men inject not very often at all so for
instance if DNA it’s 200 milligrams
every two weeks force us and on it’s 250
milligrams every three weeks with an
deca no 8 it’s like 10 weeks so the idea
in the medical community is that it
seems to be that they don’t want people
injecting or having to inject too often
because that’s an inconvenience to the
patient but with a lot of these
protocols men also have to take a eyes
and other stuff in order to keep
estrogen down they also get more of
spikes and then valleys and spikes and
then valleys so what a lot of men have
started to do and it’s starting to gain
a lot of popularity is called micro
dosing and what that basically is is
taking the amount that you would
normally take in a week and split it up
into seven shots one per day and the
thought process behind this is that it
mimics the body’s natural testosterone
production a lot more closely than let’s
say doing it two weeks and then two
weeks it’s almost very almost no
fluctuation at all
so for instance let’s just say that your
protocol was 140 milligrams to make this
easy on camera you would instead take 20
milligrams per day and inject it usually
with an insulin needle you would still
get the exact same 140 milligrams per
week but you’re getting it seven times
instead of just once a lot of men that
I’ve seen on Reddit and Facebook groups
they are switching over to micro
noticing mainly because they are having
issues with estrogen or they didn’t want
to take an AI on top of their trt
because AI can have side effects just
like any other medication and they don’t
want to take in extra medicine if they
don’t have to now as this is a newer
phenomenon and it’s not really anything
that’s prescribed by a doctor or
recommended by manufacturer of
testosterone of any kind there are no
Studies on it so no one really knows all
we can really go off of is what people
say people feel and their blood test
results I’ve seen a lot of men post that
they went from once a week to every
seven days and now they don’t have to
take any AI and their estrogen is in
check I personally have never done micro
dosing I don’t personally see the need
for it right now but I totally see why
it can work and I can see the thought
process behind it and I feel that it’s
sound the only inconvenience is doing it
every day now when you’re doing it with
an insulin needle like a 29 gauge or 28
27 it’s not that bad it really doesn’t
hurt at all I mean it’s really easy to
do it’s just that you have to remember
and do it every single day most men that
are doing micro dosing are doing it one
of two ways they’re either doing it
subcutaneous and belly fat or butt fat
or they’re doing what’s called shallow
i.m or intramuscular and so they’re
probably using a little half-inch
syringe 29:27 gauge and they’re going
shallowly into their muscles so maybe
it’s in a quad or to their shoulder some
people do their chest there’s you can
pretty much do it in any of the bigger
muscles because it’s just such a little
amount of liquid
you know let’s say 0.1 per each day is
not going to fill up the muscle and make
it super sore you may still get some pip
or post injection pain but it’s less
likely because it’s just less volume in
the muscle itself could micro dosing be
a solution for higher estrogen it could
it’s possible I’ve never personally
tried it I’m just going
based on what I’ve seen online but the
idea is kind of this let’s say you’re
doing one injection every two weeks the
thought process with the estrogen levels
is that you get a big boost of
testosterone testosterone goes up
there’s tons of it in your body right
now and a lot more of that converts over
into estrogen turning into a higher
estrogen level in your body which could
possibly give you symptoms the thought
process of micro dosing is you just give
your body a little bit every day it
doesn’t have a lot to aromatize into
estrogen not one massive amount at one
time so less of the testosterone gets
aromatized into estrogen this could lead
to a higher testosterone levels because
less of it is aromatize into estrogen
and also lower estrogen levels because
less of the testosterone is aromatize
into estrogen so I definitely think that
it’s a sound concept and I think it does
make sense biologically our bodies make
testosterone every day and we use it up
a little bit throughout the day and then
the cycle repeats
so the thought process I feel is very
sound here’s why a lot of men don’t like
doing it first off as you already know
it’s an everyday thing so every single
day you’ve got to get out you got to
wipe your bottle down you got draw a
little bit you got to wait for the
injection site down and then you got it
a jack and that’s about it doesn’t take
a whole lot of time but it is a process
so a lot of men don’t like doing that
just out of convenience and if they’re
not having crazy issues with estrogen or
they’re okay with taking an AI that may
have possible side effects then they’re
not going to jump to a seven day routine
when a twice a week routine is working
for them another downside to micro
dosing is that you go through a lot of
pins and a lot of alcohol swabs which
are generally pretty cheap I mean the
pads I’ve got a link to them in the
description I mean they’re super cheap
it’s like four bucks for four hundred or
something like that
now the syringes can be a little bit
more keep in mind you’re gonna be using
three hundred and sixty five of them
whereas I’m using one hundred and four
so it’s gonna build up you’re gonna have
to probably get a sharp spin
you’re gonna have to figure out a way to
dispose of them and you’re gonna be
using a lot of pins from what I’ve seen
100 insulin syringes depending on where
you go usually about 20 or $40 it
depends depends on where you are
now here’s another possible downside to
micro dosing and why I tend to see more
experienced veteran TRT guys doing it
and when you’re cutting a dose into
seven different individual shots let’s
say for 200 I think I did the math I
think it’s like 28 or 27 you’re gonna
try to pull 27 milligrams which would on
an insulin syringe would be 1 ml almost
another half an ml so it’s easy to get
confused and to not be accurate and your
dosing so if you’re new to this or
you’re not super diligent and you’re not
really looking exactly where that line
is you may think that you’re doing your
exact protocol when you may be doing
more or less so the next time you get a
blood test you may be doing I’ve
accidentally done some more that week by
accident and you go and you get a blood
test and you pull a pretty high number
and now your doctors like hey whoa
that’s a little high maybe we need to
cut down your dose when in theory if you
had just done it exactly the exact
dosage you probably would have been
within the range that you’re supposed to
be in so to wrap this up
I think micro dosing like I said I think
it’s a good theory I think it works I I
don’t see why it wouldn’t but there is a
convenience factor and also a little
extra cost of going through a bunch of
syringes and trying to pull that exact
dosage out now I personally in my
opinion this is not medical advice
obviously I personally really only think
you would need to look at micro dosing
if you are having issues with estrogen
if you’re not having high estrogen
symptoms or you don’t
aromatize a lot of testosterone into
estrogen I don’t know if micro dosing
and the inconvenience we’re doing every
day and the extra cost would be worth it
for you it’s obviously a personal
decision but if you are having issues
with high estrogen where you have to
take a lot of AI or you want to
discontinue AI and you want to try to
lower those ester the numbers without
having to take something I think micro
dosing is something that you can
definitely look into and possibly try
now it’s a personal decision this is not
medical advice this is just I’m just
taking information that I see online I’m
relaying it back a few guys so you guys
can do your own research and decide if
something’s right for you it’s
interesting that trt well in the medical
community it’s still long intervals
between injections you know sipping a
once every two weeks us every three
weeks I’m deck annoyed every ten weeks
so a medical community they’re still
kind of in the past let’s say but it’s
interesting that as the years go by and
has more and more men on TRT a lot of
people are doing more frequent
injections and having better results so
I think that’s definitely interesting
and I think obviously I mean micro
dosing once a day is pretty much the
ultimate frequency I can’t see anyone
doing twice a day but hey but it
probably is someone out there doing it
but it’s interesting to see the gaps
between injections getting smaller and
smaller and smaller and you know once a
week to every everyday seems to be a
pretty good spot for most men so it’s
just interesting to see that we’re
learning so much more about hormones now
and how they work and it’s just really
interesting so I thought I’d share with
you what my producing is the pros and
cons and you can see if it’s something
that you want to look into so thanks for
watching guys as always get your levels
tested
Subcutaneous is better than Intramuscular for Testosterone / TRT Shots. Change My Mind
what’s going on guys test your levels
here welcome back to the channel
today we’re recovering seven advantages
of switching to sub-q but first we have
to do some Liggett Ori medical
disclosures
[Music]
so before you begin you know TRT is
almost always then administered
intramuscularly it’s been done since the
Russians figure this out and that
snorting it and taking pills that work
they started injecting it into muscles
mainly the gluts or the quads or your
deltoids and that’s been going on for
years and it even says on your bottle
intramuscular only but as a lot of
people have learned recently
testosterone can be absorbed by fat
cells and that’s where subcutaneous
comes in it’s the same way that people
with insulin or have to use insulin do
it they just do a little insulin needle
into theirs into their fat and they’re
good to go and testosterone works the
same way so I just wanted to put
together a video giving you seven
reasons why sub-q may be better for you
than intramuscular so the first one is
easier injections you know I don’t know
about you but I kind of have a hard time
getting over to my to the quadrant on my
glue the right one and I’m worried about
putting out in the wrong spot deltoids
similar issue it’s I mean I can do it
but it’s just kind of an awkward angle
and you’ve got your quads I used to do
my quads a lot back in the day this quad
my left quad does not like them muscle
twitches up sometimes it kind of gets
happen you kind of feel like you’re
going through something and sometimes
bleed a lot and I just don’t like that
so with sub-q you can either do it in
your belly fat usually about an inch
away from your belly button or you can
do it on your butt fat which I recently
switched to and I basically just kind of
sit down and I see where my butt fat is
I swab it and Boop and it’s really easy
I’m sitting down doing it while I’m
watching TV I don’t have to stand up and
do all that stuff so overall it’s just
an easier injection that’s just that’s
my opinion on it so the next reason with
subcutaneous injections you can use
smaller needles so I know a lot of you
guys are harpooning yourselves with 23 s
and 25 you know one and a half inch
or 1 inch and you don’t have to do that
yes it’s a lot easier to draw and you
can do everything faster but at the end
of the day you don’t have to be stabbing
yourself with you know pretty thick
needle so you can do it for muscular
testosterone shots with pretty much
anything 30 gauge or lower I’ve got 20
nines and they do take a little time to
draw and a little time to inject I
recently jumped over to 27 gauge 1/2
inch and I find that this is a really
good sweet spot you can pull you can
draw up pretty quickly and you can
inject pretty quickly even though I do
recommend staying with the slow speed
while you’re doing subcutaneous because
the oil has less places to go so
sometimes if you do too quick you kind
of feel like tightness a little bit of a
little pressure and you want to go slow
if that happens all right so the next
reason is that you don’t have to there’s
no aspirin there’s no nerves there’s no
arteries and fat so I know you’ve met
most people you don’t have to aspirate
but some people do and when you do so
cute you don’t have to do that
you don’t have to worry about hitting an
artery you don’t have to worry about
hitting vini you don’t have to worry
about a tendon anything like that
because it’s just bad so you just pinch
up a little bit you can do that or not
and just go right in and boom and I’ll
usually let the the needle sit after I’m
done for about 10 seconds just pull it
out there’s usually no blood or very
little blood and it’s a really easy way
I wish I had found this earlier and not
had to harpoon myself the next reason I
prefer sub-q over intramuscular is PIP
or post injection pain so when you’re
putting oil into a muscle a lot of the
time the next day you’ll be sore and if
you’re working out you know if you’re
pinning yourself and then the next day
you’re going to the gym to go do some
legs and your leg is super sore you’re
not gonna get a very good leg workout in
and who wants to be in pain anyway you
know it’s I just it’s so much easier and
because you’re injecting into fat you’re
never gonna have to worry about about I
never have to worry about pain and your
muscles so it’s really it’s really nice
that way I don’t have to worry about
okay well I’m doing legs tomorrow I hope
I don’t get sore or I hope you know
don’t have to walk up a bunch of stairs
tomorrow with my glute you know killing
me
so I just overall it’s super easy and
you never have to worry about post
injection pain now with sub-q sometimes
you will get a lump you’ll get a lot of
lump under the skin where you injected
the next day usually it’ll be a little
tender but it won’t be warm or read like
an infection you just can kind of feel
it and it’s a little bit tender and it
usually goes away within 24 hours now I
have noticed with different brands
sometimes you’re more prone to getting
these lumps so I was using one brand for
a little while when I first started and
and I would get lumps a little bit more
but now if the new stuff that I got from
Walmart for thirty-six bucks using with
good rx that I haven’t got at once and I
haven’t gotten it at all since I started
injecting into buff that so hey that’s a
plus but if you do get a little lump you
know there’s really not much you can do
don’t freak out it will usually go away
within 24 hours it’ll just be a little
bit tender if you press on it so but
don’t freak out it’s not going to kill
you this next one may be a little
controversial but some studies are
beginning to show that when you inject
testosterone fat it gets absorbed by the
body a little bit slower not much but a
little bit slower now this can be
advantageous because we always want our
hormones to be as stable as possible
like I said it’s very minor but if it’s
like 5 or 10% slower that absorbs into
the body in theory your state your level
is gonna be a little bit more stable now
if you’re just starting now and you’re
doing your first shot or first couple
shots this may not be advantageous to
you because you want your testosterone
levels to get up up to where they need
to be as quickly as possible so maybe if
you’re just starting out maybe start
a.m. for maybe 2 weeks 3 weeks and then
you can switch over to sub-q and fear
your levels would have already pretty
much you know got up there and now they
can stable out and now you get that
advantage of the testosterone getting
into your body a little bit slower so
you kind of have a little bit more
stable levels so it could be
advantageous if you’re me could be not
advantageous if you’re just starting out
the next reason I like sub-q over I am
the needles are a lot cheaper because
they’re just cheap little insulin
needles you don’t have to get one needle
which is like a eighteen gauge or 20
gauge to draw and then you have to have
the tips which whatever size you’re
using and you don’t have to do the
switching and all that and there’s two
extra little parts that cost a little
bit more you know the needles are bigger
usually the drawing the actual casing
plastic casings a little bit bigger both
instantly those it’s usually a hole in
one little piece they’re usually really
cheap and sometimes more accessible at
pharmacies your local pharmacy
distributes a lot more insulin than they
do testosterone so what do you think
they stock more needles for insulin so
if you’re ever in a pinch you know they
may not have 27 gauge they may have 29
or 30 but you can most likely pick
someone at your local pharmacy so that’s
nice and convenient you know you don’t a
lot of them don’t carry some of the big
stuff that you may use for intramuscular
but I can almost guarantee you they’re
gonna have some cut insulin you go
behind that counter the last and final
reason that I like sub-q over I am is
that you waste less testosterone the
little insulin needles they don’t have
that little luer lock cap that little
hub right at the end there that you can
never really get out I know some guys
put air behind it so they can get
everything I don’t really mess around
with that but with insulin needles I
mean the loss is almost nothing it’s
just whatever is in the actual needle at
the end just right there just that
little spot a little tiny needle
whatever is in there is what’s wasted so
actually with the insulin needles that I
got off Amazon for Christmas if you
remember that oh these are the 27 gauge
half and Jerusalem the others have been
worn they actually do have the luer lock
it was just I needed them quick for the
video and that’s what they had now I’m
probably gonna order a box of 100 from
some website but so I actually actually
after I injected last Monday I think it
was I pulled it back down and looked
exactly how much there was in there and
it turns out that for these particular
needles all the needles they may differ
it was point zero six milliliters
as you can see in the picture it’s three
notches on the point one milliliter so
it’s 0.06
mililiters now that doesn’t seem like a
lot that’s just a tiny little amount you
know whatever so we will say that the
bottles of all the test autobots are
overfilled to compensate for that in my
experience they’re usually not some some
brands may ones I’ve got or not there
correctly they’re pretty much exactly
what it says on the bottle point zero
six milliliters doesn’t seem like a lot
but just like everything else in life it
adds up over time so I did the math and
for every 17 shots that you do you’re
gonna lose point 1 milliliters fold if
you’re like me and you’re doing two
injections per week you’re doing 104
injections per year and then when you
add this up it all adds up to six point
two four milliliters that you’re wasting
throughout the entire year so that’s
about 60% of a bottle now I know it’s
tests officers usually pretty cheap and
it’s not a huge deal but the end of the
day why waste it when hey I think suck
use a better better way to do it but
it’s better for all the reasons that
I’ve laid out in this video I feel that
it has an advantage over intramuscular
and at the same time you’re gonna save
more tests so let’s say they did
overfill your bottle and you didn’t
waste any of it
you’re gonna be start to accumulate a
little bit and you’re going to have a
little bit extra if you keep up with
getting your prescriptions now why is
that advantageous because we’re all
following our protocols perfectly we’re
not taking any extra tests so what why
would we need extra well sometimes like
in 2019 at the end of the year there was
a shortage of sipping a so I had to wait
about three weeks to get it but luckily
I had extra so I wasn’t stressed out
about it now if you go and you do your
last injection and your bottles empty
and you go to a pharmacy and they say
sorry we’re sold out nationwide it’s all
on backorder we can’t get it for you
kind of sucks doesn’t it but if you kept
up on it and you didn’t waste any of it
you’d have some extra laying around for
a rainy day just in case there is a
shortage so you don’t have to go to
three weeks without your medicine
because you’ve got a little extra saved
up so anyway guys thanks for watching if

Is Your TRT Protocol Trash? Peaks and Valleys!
what’s going on guys test your levels
here welcome back to the channel today
we are we talking about Peaks valleys
and frequency of injection of different
testosterone esters we’re going to be
covering sepia Nate’s ustin on and undec
inouye
those are the three most popular and
we’re going to be using a website called
steroid calc calm and I’ll leave a link
right there in the description for you
guys if you want to plug in your
protocol and see how it looks but we’re
looking at some graphs today and what
these graphs show is how much in theory
testosterone is released in your body
every single day as as it goes on as it
goes throughout the cycle until you
inject again and I didn’t mean cycle
like that
I just meant time cycle let me know in
the comments what’s your protocol does
your protocol do you consider it good
did you change your mind and you
possibly rethinking it after seeing some
of these graphs and if you could give a
like on this video I really appreciate
it YouTube’s algorithms changed and they
really are going for likes for some
reason so if you don’t click on that
like button someone with a bad protocol
is not going to see this video and then
continue on and they’re gonna feel like
trash and it’s all your fault click on
the like button so I’m gonna switch over
to my office here because I don’t want
to print out 20 different graphs and be
looking down on the whole time so let’s
get into it alright guys so we’re in my
office I wipe down my greasy head so it
doesn’t reflect too much light for you
guys but before we start we have to
discuss what half-life is so let’s just
take sip unique for example it has a
half-life of about 7 to 8 days and what
a half-life means is that if you
injected 100 milligrams in 7 to 8 days
you would have 50 milligrams in your
body and then 7 to 8 days after that
you’d have 25 milligrams so it’s not
like a half-life of 7 days you go from
100 to 0 100 to 0 100 of 0 it’s a
half-life so it kind of it fluctuates
and that’s basically what half-life
means so a lot of protocols the actual
recommended protocol for sipping 8 is
200 milligrams every two weeks so what
that means is from 200 you’re going to
go down to 100 after seven to eight days
and then 57 to eight
you’re gonna read up to 200 so the 50
milligrams is good for you then that’s
okay but if it’s not your testosterone
level is gonna actually get really low
toward those last few days so let’s look
at some charts here so we’re going to
start off with undec Inouye deca domain
is a long-acting ester I believe the
recommendation is like a thousand
milligrams every eight to ten to twelve
weeks depending on whether it’s a VE or
the other one we’re gonna look at undec
in a way that ten weeks so on a ten
weeks you can see you start up here
fifteen milligrams that’s being released
every day that’s not your testosterone
level this is not your testosterone
level this is just how much of your body
how much testosterone your body is
actually able to grab from that oil and
circulate through your body so you can
see here we start off at fifteen and at
the end we’re right at about two and a
half then we go back up to fifteen and
then we start creeping down so you can
see you probably start to feel pretty
good the first few weeks first few days
whatever and then just as the months go
by and the week’s go by it starts to get
lower and lower so let’s look at a
decade away every four weeks so as you
can see you start off a little lower but
it seems to be a little more smooth and
then you come back and it’s a little bit
more smooth so now we’re gonna look at
two weeks so I split up the dose from
eight weeks to two weeks and I’ll show
you that on screen and you can see we
start to it starts off a little low but
then it slowly builds up and you can see
this this baseline kind of here where
the blue is you can see where the blue
is pretty stable you’re getting the
medicine more frequently and you’re not
getting as many peaks and valleys it’s
starting to level out a little bit and
now when you look at on deck in the wave
at one week you can see that it does
take a little while to ramp up but when
it does you can see how that’s real
smooth so that’s you know a peak and
Valley like this not a peak and Valley
like this you don’t want to put your
hormones on a roller coaster and deck in
a way I heard mixed things about it some
people like it I saw a guy that said he
does weekly has great results but I’ve
heard a lot of horror stories from
people on that 8th 9th 10th
whatever week they just feel like trash
but this is very popular in Australia in
the UK it’s it’s widely used over there
sometimes it’s the only thing you can
get so it kind of is what it is but I
wanted to point out this peaks and
valleys theory so now let’s move on to
suss and on so sustenance is usually
about 250 milligrams every three weeks
and as you see on this graph you can see
this starts off high light around 50 and
at the end I mean it’s almost nothing so
you can see this huge drop and then a
spike then huge drop and that’s not
ideal for your horn others now I don’t
know what the people who have made
sussing on we’re thinking when they
described this protocol or when they
figured out this protocol but on paper
this looks horrible and I’ve seen a lot
of people say that this is horrible
so let’s move on to susta non every for
every 14 days so every 14 days you can
Steve that still got a huge peak and a
pretty big drop and then a huge peak and
a pretty big drop and a huge peak
they’re gonna feel really good for that
first week and then one that starts to
drop out on week two you’re not gonna
feel as good and you’re gonna feel good
do you see where I’m going with this
take a rollercoaster we don’t want that
yeah this is also pretty boring behind
me I just painted this room recently let
me know if should i spruced it up a
little bit shy TRT it up I don’t know
what I don’t know what that actually is
but let me know in the comments so now
we’re gonna go to suss it on every seven
days now you can see here that there’s
still some peaks and valleys but it’s
better it’s better now I’m not
personally a huge fan of sustenance some
people love it in general I have heard
great things
overall I’ve heard kind of 5050 but you
can see where it at least trying to
limit the the peaks and valleys a little
bit and if you’re not familiar stuff
Sanada has to fast at the esters and
then to slow at Clacton esters the idea
is to get your testosterone up really
quickly and then
longneck investors kind of carry you
through the three weeks two weeks
whatever but you can see the difference
here now we’re going to move on to
pretty much what the main thing that we
use in the United States which is city
mate which has a 7 to 8 day half-life
and we’re gonna look at the recommended
dose by pharmaceutical companies and you
can see peak in a ballet peak in a
valley peak in a validate I’m not sure
why I’m really moving my mouse with the
peaks and valleys because you guys can’t
see that on screen but hey that’s what
I’m doing so you can see you know two
weeks you’re doing the 200 and you’re
feeling good you’re feeling good and
then toward the end you’re not feeling
so great and then you’re feeling good
you get the idea this is the second
third one we’ve done so you guys get the
idea by now so now we’re going to look
at sipping eight one week Pacific eight
one week we’re getting a lot less peaks
and valleys it’s getting better
it’s a lot of people do 100 milligrams
per week and that seems to be good for
them but you can see there are some
peaks of valleys but it has a 7 to 8 day
half-life so it’s not as bad now we’re
going to switch over to sipping eight
twice weekly which is what I do I do 100
milligrams twice a week Monday Thursday
I don’t worry about Monday morning
Thursday evening I do Monday evening
Thursday you made some people are a
little more meticulous about it they
want to get it exactly three and a half
days I’m not too worried about it I
don’t notice a difference but you can
see on this chart here so you can see
you can see a lot less peaks and valleys
you can see the solid blue here that
starts to build up and the solid blues
about seven and a half so the idea is
that you want your body to have a
constant supply you know we can’t have
it like this but want to have it like
this don’t want this this you feel good
yes you feel bad this you feel good this
you feel bad and the other thing that I
was mentioning earlier in the video is
when you spike your testosterone levels
through the roof your body has a ton of
it you know you a lot of that aromatize
us into estrogen so you may have a huge
spike in estrogen you don’t feel great
on that you break out a bunch of acne
you’re feeling emotional all that good
stuff and then you know you’re kind of
crap
your testosterone you feel like trash
again you’re feeling like trash up here
and the trash down here where you could
be feeling good right in the middle
there now the next chart we’re gonna
jump into is sippy Nate every day I
don’t personally do this a lot of people
do do this they do it usually
subcutaneous they’ll do a little tiny
shot every day they basically take for
me there’d be two hundred divided by
seven not doing the math in front of you
but it’s about twenty thirty milligrams
a day
yeah yeah that’s about right 25
somewhere in there so I would take 25
milligrams and I would inject it
subcutaneously every morning or every
night and you can see on this chart er
this does look really good there’s no
real piece of valleys there’s just a
constant climb until you reach a stable
level now a lot of people do this they
say that it helps them control their
estrogen so they don’t need a remedy X I
don’t personally enjoy doing this every
day I would not enjoy that it would
become a chore to me but hey it’s
something to try if you’re having some
issues with estrogen or you just really
want your testosterone levels to be as
level as possible that’s something to
try it’s not personally for me I haven’t
found a need for it yet but some people
do and some people also say I can’t
argue that a daily dose of testosterone
is more like how your body creates
testosterone you know you create a lot
of testosterone when you sleep you kind
of use it up throughout the day and then
you make more at night so I can see the
thought process there I can see it it’s
sound it makes sense I don’t think this
would hurt you in any way shape or form
I just don’t think it’s entirely
necessary you know I think twice a week
works for most people but everyone
responds to this differently so you have
to do what is best for you it could be
once a week could be twice a week could
be every day it could be every five days
but I just wanted to show on paper why
these these long protocols every two
weeks it just puts you on this roller
coaster and it’s not ideal at all and
I’m really surprised that doctors still
adhere to this but it’s obviously
they’re just looking at what the
pharmaceutical company says and the
little pamphlet they haven’t done
research but it is what it is now this
next one I’m going to
is a remedies so remedy ex has like 48
hour half-lives so when you see what
you’re doing the same thing same idea
peaks and valleys you got a lot flowing
in your system then you have almost none
then you have a lot and you have almost
none back and forth back and forth so if
you’re doing bi-weekly injections let’s
say so you take your Arimidex on Monday
and you do the injection and then you do
another one on Thursday well you get
that spike in testosterone and you have
less Arimidex there to help block the
conversion of estrogen so you can end up
with higher estrogen and that can become
an issue with you now we’re going to
look at Arimidex twice a week now you
can see there still are peaks and
valleys because it’s only a two day
half-life so unless you were taking a
little tiny fraction every day you
wouldn’t be able to eliminate it but you
can see even on the lows you still have
more remedies floating around your body
to help block the estrogen so this goes
to say with almost any medicine that you
know taking something splitting up the
dosage and doing it more frequently it
seems to be a better idea in my opinion
I’m not a doctor I just play one on
YouTube I’m just joking I’m not a doctor
in any way shape or form in my opinion I
personally feel that twice a week is
just fine but that’s just for me you
could be completely different and doing
every single bad it could be could be
the difference between you feeling like
trash and feeling great so I wanted just
to bring this up to show you on paper
that you know these peaks and valleys
are real you’re going to testosterone
does not just last forever you know just
because the farmer school company came
out with this protocol 50 years or 40
years ago doesn’t mean it’s good
that’s just what they tested in clinical
trials 50 60 years ago and that’s what
they still have on the labels today but
as we can see from this calculator and
whoever created this calculator is
really good you should check it out
steroid cal calm you can plug in your
protocol with most stuff it doesn’t have
HCG on there but it is what it is but
it’s pretty thorough you can see as the
frequently you do injections the more
steadily the tests officers released
into your blood and transferred through
your body so once again Peaks and now
those peaks and valleys we don’t want
them we want to stay as stable as
possible and in the most convenient
protocol you know every day some people
do it not for me but if you want to do
that and you want to give it a try and
see if it stables out your levels and
helps you grow ties less estrogen and
you can cut out a remedy X give it a
shot okay it’s not gonna hurt you
injecting the same amount throughout the
week just more frequently so I want to
finish out this video I did the
calculations of all the fluctuations so
start with a sus anon and I tracked
these from the peak to the valley so for
sustenance for 21 days doing an
injection every 21 days
the peak was fifty thirty and the valley
was one point two which is a 97.7%
fluctuation so day one they’re getting
fifty thirty day 21 they’re getting one
point two so that’s a huge huge
fluctuation for sus anon injecting at
her 14 days Vicky was thirty six point
six and the valley was too which is a
94.5% fluctuation tad bit better but
still not ideal in my personal opinion
sussan on every seven days the peak was
twenty-one and the valley was three
point six so in eighty two point eight
percent fluctuation so just by switching
from once every twenty one days to once
every seven days you’re just letting
your cutting out about 15 percent of
fluctuation I’m still not really sold on
susta non but that’s the only thing you
can get the only thing they’ll prescribe
you then you have to make the best of it
but once again that’s just me that’s
just on paper and I’ve never personally
taken sustenance so I can’t speak badly
about it now let’s jump to on deck
anyway and the calculator only goes up
to eight weeks but IV recommends ten
weeks after the starter doses and if you
want to look that up there’s lots of
information
the starter doses are so for eight weeks
for undec Inouye the peak was fifteen
point one and the valley was two point
four which is an 84 percent fluctuation
now he jumped to the four-week the peak
was ten point six and the valley was
four point two five so that’s a 60%
fluctuation so just by taking the exact
same dose cutting in half and injecting
it at two different times we lost twenty
four percent of fluctuation in the
amount of testosterone that’s released
in our body every day it seems pretty
good to me but we can do even better
so in decade away every two weeks the
peak was eight point six and the valley
was five point five that’s a 36%
fluctuation so we went from 60%
fluctuation to 36% just by splitting up
that Dennison for and doing it over two
weeks we’re gonna take it one step
further we’re going to test our levels
here so a deca no eight whatever one
week the peak was seven point seven and
that’s milligrams released into your
bloodstream first a valley is six point
two so a 14% fluctuation so from taking
the exact same dose once every eight
weeks and splitting that up into eight
shots doom once a week we’ve cut out
seventy percent of the fluctuation so
before we are fluctuating by eighty four
percent now we’re only fluctuating 14
percent so once a week for a decade away
I think it’s personally the best option
I don’t think you have to do in decanoic
bi-weekly I think you could get away
with every two weeks you probably get
away with every four weeks but I mean if
you’re just doing a pretty simple
injection you know I personally I just
like keep in mind level stay I just it
seems to work so much better now let’s
move on to sippy an eight so sippy me
every two weeks the peak was twenty two
point two and the valley was three point
four which is an 85 percent fluctuation
now we take that same dose we split it
in half once a week we had a peak of
fifteen point thirty any valley of six
point two
which is a 59% fluctuation so we cut out
26% of the fluctuation just by splitting
up the dose in town and doing it once a
week but we can do better now they don’t
have to be too much better once a week
works for a lot of people but my
personal favorite every three and a half
days or twice a week the peak was twelve
point four and the valley was eight
point two so a 34% fluctuation so just
by splitting it up into four shots
instead of one we’ve cut out 51% of the
fluctuation so for every day with sippy
me the peak was ten point three and the
valley was nine point six which is a 7%
fluctuation or almost nothing so if
you’re doing it every day I mean your
levels are there fluctuating by seven
percent as opposed to 85 percent so you
can see why frequency is so important
and I see too many people way too many
people on the Reddit and Facebook
prescribed that two-week protocol
lesibian eight and I think it’s a really
bad protocol and you know a lot of guys
they don’t know any better you know they
went to their doctor they just have the
idea okay I’m gonna get my testosterone
checked doc says you’re low or whatever
they have to fight to get it and we’re
just so happy to get it that doctors
like okay this is what we’re doing 200
milligrams every two weeks that’s what
Pfizer says that’s what bear says that’s
what to say and these guys are like well
okay great now I’m on TRT I’m gonna feel
awesome and they get their shot they’re
feeling good they eight nine ten eleven
twelve rolls around not feeling so great
then they get another shot and then
they’re feeling good and you see as
opposed to I’ve been probably waiting on
way too much but anyway I’m gonna finish
this out last one is a remand X I did it
just because it was on there and I could
so Arimidex every seven days peak was
point three nine Valley was point zero
four it’s a 90 percent fluctuation now
granted this is a short very short
half-life medicine so that’s to be
expected but by just splitting up the
dose of taking it twice a week which is
pretty easy cuz it’s
the peak was 0.24 and the valley was
point zero nine so it’s a 63%
fluctuation so we cut out 27 percent of
the fluctuation just by splitting a pill
and extra time and taking it twice a
week as opposed to once a week so in my
opinion steady hormone levels are ideal
I personally do not like feeling great
for a few days then feeling rough for a
few days then back and forth and you
know all your hormones are tied together
so when you spike your test you spike
your estrogen and you spike whatever
else is connected to it and then when it
tanks and it goes low now you have a
little estrogen you have below this
you’re below that and your body is just
putting it through a rollercoaster
whereas if you keep everything the same
everything kind of just levels out and
you should feel better
beings guide my video so anyway guys
that’s gonna wrap it up I hope you found
this helpful
I hope these charts really show you the
power of splitting up and keeping things
steady so if you’re new here and you

What is a Concierge Doctor / Direct Primary Care Doctor???
what’s going on guys test your levels
here welcome to the channel if you’re
new here click on that subscribe button
lots of good content coming out but
today we’re going to cover what a
concierge doctor is and the reason that
I’m doing this video is I see a lot of
Facebook and reddit
people are saying I’m having a hard time
getting prescribed TRT even though my
numbers are bad my primary care
physician my endocrinologist my
urologist doesn’t prescribe it doesn’t
want to prescribe it to me where’s a
good TRT clinic that I can go to or a
men’s clinic and I’ve really never seen
anyone recommend or discuss a concierge
doctor and I think this is a really good
option so let me uh let me take you on a
little journey as to how I found out
about concierge doctor
[Music]
so when I first started I self-medicated
and then I went to a TRT clinic and
they’re well-known I’m not gonna mention
them by name but they’re a good clinic
they’re just expensive and you have to
buy all your meds through them and so I
did that for a little while and I ran
into my buddy who we’ll meet later on in
this channel at some point and he told
me I had a really good doctor named dr.
so-and-so and he’s been prescribed me
TRT so I said that’s great
so I called them up I made an
appointment I talked to him he was a
really good doctor a really nice guy I
brought him all my previous labs told
him what I was taking and he wrote me
scripts for him
so everything was going well and I was
with him probably got six months maybe a
little bit more and I was driving to a
vacation and on my birthday and I got a
call at Friday like 4:45 and it’s an
auto recording and said hey this is
doctor so-and-so just want to let you
know I’m updating my practice I
currently have 1800 a clients and I’m
dropping it down to 600 but I’m no
longer taking insurance and I’m charging
180 bucks a month and I was like okay
this is crazy
now I just found a really good doctor I
got all my stuff I’m dialed in and I’m
getting the medicine that I need he’s
really cool and now he’s doing something
where he’s charged with me 180 bucks a
month and I was like that’s crazy I
cannot pay 280 bucks a month just a
regular doctor so I was talking to
another friend about this when I got
back from vacation and he said to my
buddies our concierge doctors why don’t
you give them a call so I called them up
and they turned out to be $60 a month so
I was like hey $60 okay so I talked to
them and I got a better idea of what a
concierge doctor is a concierge doctor
is a doctor that you pay a monthly fee
and in return you get their phone number
their email and you can text with them
but they do not take insurance so this
would be something on top of insurance
and you can’t go to them and say hey I
need surgery they’re not going to be
able to do that they may be able to do
minor stuff like stitches or whatever
else minor stuff but this does not
supplement insurance they do not take
insurance which is why they have a much
lower overhead it can spend more time
with patients they don’t have to hire
three people to sit behind a desk and
call up insurance companies and try to
get paid so this is a really interesting
concept so they don’t charge you per
visit they only charge you per month and
most of the time you can either go by
yourself or they may have a family rate
what’s really cool about concierge
doctors and you can actually go on to
google and type in concierge doctors
near me or direct primary care near me
and you can find a lot of these places
there’s about 900 of them in the United
States right now and it’s a very large
and growing industry many of the doctors
got tired of dealing with insurance they
got tired of fighting to get paid and
forgetting nickel and dimed by the
insurance company and have the overhead
and all that extra stuff that comes
along with taking insurance so a lot of
them are saying hey I don’t want to deal
with insurance that’s just a hassle so
I’m just gonna charge people $60 a month
give them my phone number my email and
let them contact me as need be I’m gonna
explain some benefits of concierge
doctors and then we’re gonna move on to
the whole TRT aspect of it so for
example I can text my doctor early in
the morning and I can say hey can you
write me a script for this which I’m
already taking and he’ll text back and
say yeah just swing by the office and
pick up the script or I can call it in
to your pharmacy so that’s with a
regular doctor you would have to wait
and get an appointment that’s if they
even have an appointment then you go to
the appointment you’re gonna pay your
copay they’re gonna write you the script
and you’re gonna be good to go but the
difference is with a concierge doctor
you can get stuff done faster so I
recently got pretty sick that’s my
doctor and I said hey did you have an
opening today I’m getting a pretty nasty
cold texted back and said how about 3:30
I walk into his office looks down my
throat looks in the ears
what symptoms I’m having writes me a
script all with about 30 minutes so the
same day I walked in 30 minutes later
I’ve got a script for an antibiotic with
a regular doctor I would have either had
to go to Urgent Care or hope that my
doctor had an opening so I could get a
simple prescription for an antibiotic so
I can get over being sick
now here’s another great benefit to a
lot of concierge doctors they will most
of the time they will stop common
medicines so let’s say you take
something like for an antacid like a
zantac or something like that or a
normal medicine of normal antibiotic you
may be able to walk in there and they’ll
just give you the prescription right
there and just charge your account and
it’s almost always cheaper than what you
can get at the pharmacy for example I
take a medicine called the MEP resolve I
can’t remember what the real name is for
it but it’s for heartburn I’ve always
had bad heartburn I was paying Walmart
of pain 14 or $15 for 42 pills my doctor
writes me scripts from 90 pills and it’s
three dollars so right there I’m saving
me a lot of money so another nice thing
about concierge doctors is that blood
work and almost all of your labs are
going to be much cheaper because they
contract with LabCorp and they just say
hey listen we’ll send you all of our
patients but we need good pricing and
they do this for lots of different tests
when I was with the clinic that I was
with my blood tests were $299 I drew
them every six months so it’s $600 a
year just some blood tests with my other
doctor under insurance even with
insurance which is crazy expensive in
the first place my regular routine labs
are about 170 bucks with my new
concierge doctor we literally sat down
on his laptop and we clicked all the
different tests we wanted to do he said
do you want to do a really comprehensive
lipid panel that tells you like the size
of your lipids so we have a baseline of
where you’re at with that and I was like
that’s cool how much is that he’s like
it’s like 12 bucks so altogether all my
labs LH FSH estradiol free test regular
test SHBG all that good stuff the Matta
Creek cholesterol it was $57 so right
there I mean they just pay from
sells that month and I can still call
them tomorrow and get a script or come
in because I’m having an issue all right
bang get my tower so let’s move on to
the trt aspect of a concierge doctor and
just remember that you’re not taking
surance they do not take insurance at
all so you have to keep your old
insurance but you may be able to drop
down your insurance to a cheaper cheaper
plan and with higher deductibles
whatever it’s a gamble you never need
insurance until you do it’s kind of a
rigged system not a huge fan anyway so
for concierge doctors in trxye there’s
no guarantee that a concierge doctor is
going to write you scripts for TRT just
because you’re paying them $60 a month
they still have a medical license that
they have to protect and if we remember
testosterone is a Schedule three drug in
the United States it’s a controlled
substance just something like adderall
or pain pills all that good stuff those
are all controlled substances so an
intelligent doctor is not gonna let
someone walk in with normal testosterone
levels and say hey I want some
testosterone they’re not gonna give it
to you but on the flip side concierge
doctors tend to be more educated on
stuff think about it if you get paid
monthly by being able to treat your
patients and a patient comes in and you
don’t know what you’re talking about him
you can’t treat them there’s a high
likelihood that you’re not going to
retain that climate so in my experience
concierge doctors seem to be more up on
new stuff they seem to have a broader
knowledge of lots of different subjects
that they may encounter from day to day
I was actually rambling off some TRT
stuff to my doctor and he knew exactly
what I was talking about and he was even
throwing stuff at me when I was like oh
wow that’s pretty interesting I didn’t
know that before so he’s really good at
it and mad he’s pretty young he’s
probably 35 36 so your 65 year old 70
year old doctor that was never taught
about this stuff I’ve got a 35 year old
guy that I’m giving 60 bucks a month to
that knows a whole bunch about TRT and
he doesn’t even have that many patients
that take it so like I said you’re not
just gonna walk into a concierge doctor
and say hey look I’m right at this level
we script for some city and they throw
me some Arimidex 30 cent HCG let’s move
this along I got stuff to do
it doesn’t work like that just because
you’re paying a monthly fee doesn’t mean
you get to tell them what they’re gonna
prescribe you there’s still a doctor
they have to protect their medical
license but they seem to be much more
open to it and if you tell them i’ve
done research i’ve done this i realized
that my LH and FSH are low and i’m also
having blue tea symptoms of this this
and this i’ve done research blah blah
blah you walk in educated there’s a much
better chance that they will be willing
to start working with you on a protocol
however if you walk in and you don’t
know anything and I’ve done this and all
my other doctor videos you walk in and
just say hey I have brain fog I think I
have low tea they’re gonna kind of look
at you like this is kind of a risk
this guy doesn’t really know what he’s
talking about he has done zero research
they may be a little more apprehensive
so that’s one of the reasons I created
this channel is to give people
information on the stuff so that you can
watch videos that are sometimes fun
sometimes they’re kind of boring but you
go in educated and you have a good
chance of getting the treatment you need
if you actually need it so that’s about
it guys I just wanted to bring to light
that there is a third option you know
you can spend time with a primary care
physician and then get possibly referred
to a urologist or an endocrinologist
they may be worse than your primary care
and then you’re just like well hey the
only option I have is to go to one of
these clinics and oh I’m not knocking
clinics they play an important role and
I think most of them are pretty good but
they do make money and there’s nothing
wrong with that but sometimes in my
experience they’re more expensive than a
regular doctor obviously and concierge
doctors now I’ve seen some concierge
doctors that are like 200 bucks a month
my old doctor was shooting for 180 but
I’m pretty sure and what I read online
was the average cost is about 80 bucks
so my doctors are a little bit lower on
that scale but a got Google right at
your fingertips
type in concierge or near me and look
around look at their websites go
call and say how many patients do you
serve how many doctors do you have do
you treat low testosterone are they
well-versed in it give them a little
screening and find which one is best for
you and the best thing is is if you sign
up for a month and this doctors are
horrible and they don’t want to treat
you then you can just go to another one
there’s no contracts
some may have contracts but most demo so
I certainly think it’s a great option
it’s something that’s helped me a lot
just because it’s so convenient and easy
and just being able to pick up an
antibiotic quickly when you’re sick
without any scheduled appointment and
pick copay is really really nice so if
you were having trouble with your
primary care and you really have low
testosterone you’ve gotten the blood
test you don’t just feel tired it’s a
good option and I would probably try it
before I went to a clinic just to see
how it worked and try to save some money
you know at the end of the day all the
medicines are the same the Sipi net you
get from a doctor or clinic or a
concierge doctors all the same it’s just
getting it a if you need it and be for
the lowest price possible and I think if
you do some searching where you live
you’ll probably find a pretty good
option for a concierge doctor once again
this is a disclaimer you’re not just
gonna walk in there there to start
writing your scripts they have medical
licenses to protect so any of you guys I
hope you guys found this helpful now you
know there is a third option if you’re
having issues with your primary care or
whoever concierge doctors concierge
doctors near me all right guys that’s
gonna wrap it up thanks for watching

American Physicians College Issues New TRT Guidelines
what’s going on guys test your levels
here we’ve got some new guidelines from
the second largest medical group in the
United States
the Americans College of Physicians and
if you’re guessing this has something to
do with trt now they basically said that
the only reason that men should be on
trt from naturally decreasing
testosterone levels from age should be
[Music]
so the American College of Physicians
came out with some guidelines they
apparently did very little research on
trt and they looked at studies that
contradict any of the studies that I can
find on Google I’m sure they have
different settings than what I can find
on Google because that’s just secret but
in their new guidelines they basically
say the only reason that you should be
on TRT
is if you have edy or severe libido
issues they quote that you could get a
heart attack you can get a stroke so
this is probably something that your
doctors going to read and this is going
to spread a lot of misinformation to
doctors who respect the American College
of Physicians and yeah so that’s fun and
it’s also and blasted out to Forbes and
Reuters and all those news agencies so
it’s all over there so let me read this
to you and I’m gonna give you my
thoughts and we’ll have some fun but
before I start and before you get your
pitchforks out and start writing this
does not affect men who have something
wrong with our hypothalamus the
pituitary gland or their testes that
causes low testosterone all they’re
saying is this guidelines are for men
that are just on TRT due to low
testosterone because of age so if you’re
50 60 whatever and your testosterone
levels are low just because you’re
getting older this is what they’re
saying and they’re saying that you do
not need to be on TRT and it has no
benefits and is dangerous
older men whose testosterone levels have
dropped over the years she’s only given
testosterone replacement to treat edie
according to new guidelines from the
American College of Physicians sales of
treatments for low testosterone or low
tea tripled from 2001 to 2011
you will buy direct-to-consumer
advertising promising that it’s the it’s
the Fountain of Youth the trend reverse
in 2013 the studies were published
suggesting the treatments carried risk
of stroke and heart attack rotary and
popular driven by direct-to-consumer TV
ads dr. Robert McLean said he’s the
president of the American College of
Physicians you can’t watch cable TV
without seeing an ad saying hey check
your teeth we all know this is marketing
test software placement as a kind of
Fountain of Youth I personally have
never seen a trt ad on TV not one single
one I’ve seen tons of new geniux
I’ve seen tons of whatever the other one
extends and all those other BS
testosterone boosters I’ve never once
seen a prescription medicine added for
testosterone I don’t know maybe I just
missed them I see medicine ads every
single day for lexapro and for all these
antidepressants and SSRIs but I’ve never
seen one for TRT I don’t know maybe you
have I’m sure they’re out there but I’ve
never seen them so that’s BS right there
ACP developed its recommendation based
on a review of the latest evidence the
studies looked at the effectiveness of
treatments for IDI physical function
quality of life fatality depression
cognition serious side effects such as
heart disease stroke increased risk of
death the recommendations are designed
to give doctors guidance on how to
advise men about the treatments based on
the review the ACP found that men with
age-related low testosterone who had IDI
might get a slight benefit from the
treatments but the evidence is lacking
to support their use to improve energy
physical function or cognition although
some individual studies have suggested
that testosteron placement therapy might
increase the risk for cardiovascular
events evidence from the 14 trials
reviewed by the acp was too weak to
allow for any firm conclusions on park
safety as to whether the treatment
increased the risk of prostate cancer of
death the researchers concluded there
was not enough evidence to make a call
the evidence is still early and minimal
where I think we’re still lacking
evidence in many areas is in long-term
evidence as far as potential risks we
may in a few years have that evidence
about cardiovascular
season prostate cancer and other issues
this is only what we know right now so
if you remember I did a video on a bunch
of studies heart attack prostate stroke
and cancer for men on CRT and almost all
of them show a marginal or no increased
risk for those nasty things I’m not
really sure what research the ACP
actually looked at it doesn’t sound like
they looked at a whole lot because all
the stuff that I could find
so that trt is pretty darn safe and
probably 10 times safer there are a lot
of these medicines that you’ve seen ads
for certain medicines that have side
effects like this abilify is not for
everyone call your doctor if your
depression worsens or if you have
unusual changes in behavior or thoughts
of suicide antidepressants can increase
these in children teens and young adults
elderly dementia patients taking abilify
have an increased risk of death or
stroke walking eating driving or
engaging in other activities while
asleep without remembering it the next
day have been reported abnormal
behaviors may include aggressiveness
confusion agitation or hallucinations
stop chantix and get help right away if
you have changes in behavior thinking
aggression hostility depressed mood
suicidal thoughts or actions seizures
nor worse murder blood vessel problems
sleepwalking or life-threatening
allergic and skin reactions as with all
fillers there is a rare risk of
unintentional injection into a blood
vessel which can cause vision
abnormalities blindness stroke temporary
scabs or scarring tudi is not for
everyone call your doctor if you have
unusual changes in mood behaviors or
thoughts of suicide
antidepressants can increase these in
children teens and young adults elderly
dementia patients taking ‘la to DES have
an increased risk of death or stroke
call your doctor if you have fever stiff
muscles and confusion as these may be
signs of a life-threatening reaction or
if you have uncontrollable muscle
movements as these may become permanent
high blood sugar has been reported with
‘la to DES and medicines like it and in
some cases extreme high blood sugar can
lead to coma or death other risks
include decreases in white blood cells
which can be fatal
dizziness upon standing seizures
increased cholesterol weight gain
increased prolactin levels impairment in
judgment or trouble swallowing so I did
some hardcore digging on a website
called Google and I’m not sure if the
ACP is access to Google but I literally
typed in testosterone replacement
therapy energy testosterone replacement
therapy physical function testosterone
replacement therapy cognition and this
is what I found literally the first or
second wake were these studies that
basically say that it’s safe not saying
that it’s there’s no risk I’m not saying
that at all
but these studies are basically saying
there’s very little slim to little risk
for these for these diseases in these
conditions so I’m not sure what the ACP
research it doesn’t sound like they did
a lot of research I mean they’re the
second largest medical group in the
United States they were founded in 1915
but I don’t know who asked them to just
kind of give an opinion you know they
didn’t even they didn’t even cite the
research that they that they did they
didn’t cite any of the other studies
they didn’t say any of that stuff they
just basically came out with an opinion
piece hey we don’t see the benefits of
TRT if you’re just older and have low
TRT you don’t see the benefit but the
research doesn’t show there’s any real
risks but we just don’t know so I don’t
understand why they would put out
something like this it’s a real half
assed approach at medicine and medicine
reporting and journalism whatever it’s
just it’s ridiculous that such a large
of doctors did almost no research and
then came out with just an opinion piece
like I said there are medicines out
there with crazy side effects I
literally saw one for Botox for women’s
wrinkles or for men’s wrinkles whatever
and one of the side effects is permanent
blindness but if you went to your doctor
and you said hey I want rejuven or
whatever the heck it is they’re gonna do
it because they’re gonna make money but
you know when they look at testosterone
it’s well there’s a possibility that you
could have slightly increased heart
attacks or slightly increased stroke
risk but literally this medicine that’s
purely for cosmetic and vanity has the
potential to blind you to permanently
blind you yet they’re not they’re not
writing articles on rejuven people going
blind they’re they’re talking about TRT
and the slight possibility with the
little research that they did it’s crazy
to me I just don’t understand why
testosterone is under such an attack
just because people abuse it to get
bigger and stronger doesn’t mean that
everyone does that I’m sure your doctor
has no problem writing you an oxycontin
prescription if you just came out of
surgery yes some people snort it some
people inject it into their veins and OD
on it but not everyone does that
and when medicines are used for their
intended purpose by 99% of the people
they should be demonized by legitimate
medical I’m not even gonna say
legitimate because they obviously did
zero research on this crazy crazy crazy
crazy no once again this doesn’t apply
to men who have issues where their
bodies aren’t producing testosterone
they’re just saying that if you’re 50
years old and you don’t have a D but you
have brain fog you’ve gained a lot of
weight you have no energy you don’t have
good physical function or cognition that
TR T is not for you it’s only for if you
have II D or extreme abuse use that’s
their opinion based on the half-assed
research that they did and they’re a
little cute opinion piece that’s
probably read by a lot of doctors who
are now gonna say well the ACP these are
their guidelines
I’m not going above and beyond that
so if you’re feeling great on trt sorry
bud I’m taking you off now let me ask
you a question so if you’ve had high
cholesterol and you go into your doctor
and it’s either caused because you have
bad genetics that give you high
cholesterol or it’s because you eat like
garbage and you don’t exercise and you
have high cholesterol but in either
scenario you have high cholesterol is
your doctor going to tell you that he’s
not going to prescribe you a medicine to
help lower your cholesterol because the
risks outweigh the rewards in either
scenario if you have high cholesterol
due to genetics age or because you eat
like trash what the APC is basically
saying is well we’re not going to
prescribe you a medicine or a statin to
help lower your cholesterol because its
genetic it’s just that’s the way your
body is so the risks outweigh the
rewards you know the medicine doesn’t
really have any high risks but in the
research that we’ve done we’ve
determined that we just don’t know so to
be on the safe side you’re just going to
live in high cholesterol its genetic
it’s good it’s because of age don’t
worry about it that’s basically what
they’re saying about testosterone
they’re basically saying that hey it’s
natural if you’re 50 to have low
testosterone so we’re not going to treat
it because you could possibly have a
heart attack or a stroke we don’t know
yet the research doesn’t point to say
that but it’s just natural so just deal
with it doesn’t matter that you feel
like trash doesn’t matter your brain fog
doesn’t matter that you don’t have
energy to go to work and to hang out
with your wife and your kids because the
risks outweigh the reward even though we
don’t know what the risks are and the
research that we’ve done really doesn’t
point to anything bad but hey this is
America I don’t know why the 8pc decide
to weigh in on this I think it’s pretty
irresponsible for them to do very little
research like I said I literally just
typed in TR t energy and boom a study
shows up
TRT cognition study shows up TR t
physical function a study shows up
saying that it helps with all those
things yet the APC for some reason we’re
unable to find those I don’t know I mean
I have special access to Google
I don’t know if they pay the fee to get
Google but I had access to it
it took me under ten seconds to find I’m
gonna put those on the screen again just
to reiterate my point I don’t know why
testosterones have demonized I think
it’s about I mean with all the other
stuff that we’re being enlightened to in
2020 and yeah I’m mocking at all that
but a lot of stuff’s changing but for
some reason TRT is still demonized I
don’t know why it is I’m rambling I’m
gonna finish up this video I just got
fired up and I just don’t understand I
don’t understand anything apparently I
don’t understand how the world works but
it doesn’t seem to favor us who knows
why but anyway guys thanks for watching

Does TRT Cure Anxiety? How does Testosterone Replacement Therapy effect Anxiety?
what’s going on guys test your levels
here today we’re going to cover a topic
that I see posted a lot on Reddit and
Facebook and it’s in regards to anxiety
and the question is usually how long
does it take anxiety to disappear on trt
so I’m going to help answer that
question today
[Music]
so before we discuss whether trt can fix
or eliminate anxiety we kind of have to
look at anxiety and what exactly it is
anxiety is a multi-faceted thing there’s
not just one thing that causes it it can
be caused by outside stresses it can be
caused by a hormone imbalance in your
brain a chemical imbalance in your brain
something traumatic that happened to you
like post-traumatic stress disorder
there’s a lot of things that can cause
anxiety and testosterone is not a
cure-all for everything while it is a
very important hormone for men and women
it is not a medicine that does
everything for everyone so let’s jump it
to anxiety a little bit I didn’t do a
lot of research on this as there is not
a lot of research on this so in this
video this is not medical advice this is
just my personal opinion my personal
experience and what I see online so like
I said we get lots of questions on these
different groups when is my anxiety
going to disappear and for a lot of
people it can take up to 32 weeks to see
any notice and anxiety at all you know
people think that they just do their
first or second shot their testosterone
levels are up and they should start
feeling the benefits instantly and it
doesn’t work like that everything in
your body is combined and interacts and
is connected with other stuff so when
you have a low testosterone for however
long and now you have a normal amount it
takes a good amount of time for all
these other things to balance out and
level out and work with each other so
it’s not an instantaneous thing before
if we get into my opinion and my
personal experience we kind of need to
discuss what would be considered
eliminating anxiety it’s not something
that you can just eliminate like I said
it can be caused by lots of outside
stressors I stressed about my job I
stress about all kinds of stuff and
taking testosterone getting my hormone
levels balanced isn’t gonna stop that
mortgage bill from coming in the mail
it’s not gonna stop the stressors of my
website or my business or the boss being
a dick and really riding me that’s not
every
to change that’s life so if testosterone
can eliminate anything it’s going to be
kind of the more internal anxiety that
you bring on yourself not the stuff that
you’re stressed out about that you can’t
control it’s more of when you’re
creating a stressful feeling and anxiety
inside yourself through your own little
thoughts and testosterone does help some
people with that it doesn’t help
everyone I have seen a good amount of
people say they’ve come off of
antidepressants and anti-anxiety
medicines after they’ve been on TRT for
a good amount of time and they’ve
improved their life and they feel
overall better and they don’t feel like
they need the medicine anymore now I’ve
also seen a lot of people say that it
does absolutely nothing for that anxiety
they didn’t notice a single change they
didn’t notice any difference at all if
you’re watching this video you’re
probably watching it you probably search
YouTube this TRT cure anxiety and you’re
looking to see if taking trt can just
fix your brain and fix how its wired fix
all the chemical imbalances that you may
have or may not have and I’m gonna tell
you straight up it may not help you at
all it may completely cure you and this
kind of goes back to a lot of other
stuff in PR teen hormones everyone’s
different some people feel fine at a
certain level some people have feel
great on high with higher estrogen
levels some people feel everyone’s
different so I can’t tell you whether it
will help you were not I’m just gonna
tell you to have a realistic expectation
that it may not if you ever look at
medicine commercials they say that you
know eighty percent of people taking
whatever had you know their psoriasis is
gone but that’s 80 percent there’s
another twenty percent where that
medicine did absolutely nothing and you
have to take that in account while
testosterone as I said earlier is a very
powerful hormone and it is needed and it
can help so many aspects of your life
it’s not guaranteed to fix all of them I
think some of the anxiety curing is a
little bit overblown
and I think people have kind of wishful
thinking and you know the trt cures
anxiety I’m auntie Artie and I feel like
it’s cured my anxiety and if it did
that’s fantastic and some people it does
so
100% it does but some people does
nothing I’m one of those people I don’t
have extreme anxiety I don’t take
medicines for it I just I mean generally
I live kind of a stressful life I I
don’t get a normal paycheck like other
people do I have a couple different
places where I get money from and if a
couple of them aren’t doing good I make
less money and I stress about that
so for me TRT did absolutely nothing to
change my anxiety not a single bit I
don’t feel a difference with anxiety in
any way shape or form
but you may you may feel a hundred
percent better in life I feel a hundred
times better I have so much more energy
I sleep better my libido is pretty solid
and just I just feel better in general I
have a better outlook I feel more driven
all that stuff but it did not change my
anxiety levels at all I don’t really
have much else to say on the topic it
can help you it cannot help you it may
it may not everyone’s different we don’t
know till you try if you were to ask me
what I take TRT if I didn’t need it to
try to fix anxiety I would say
absolutely not in my opinion I think the
benefits for anxiety on trt are a little
overblown but yeah there are people that
is cured or they feel they’ve been cured
100% so just like everything else we’re
all different there’s no black and white
it’s a gray area
some people would help some people it
doesn’t would I try to get on it just to
fix that one aspect no if I needed it
and I was gonna take it what I expect to
be cured anxiety no I think that’s a
little I think that’s a little I don’t
think you can really cure anxiety I
think you can definitely lower it but
you have outside life stresses so you
can’t just cure it it’s not something
that cure it’s not you know what I’m
saying so anyway guys I think that’s
gonna wrap it up overall it can help you
it may not didn’t help me it’s helped
others I wouldn’t jump on expecting that
result but if you do get it and
fantastic
awesome congratulations that’s what we
want we want and then feeling better you
want then that better lives just feel
better in life and just be more manly
but anyway guys that’s gonna wrap it up
