Testopel – Testosterone Pellet Therapy – Why do these exist?

Testopel Testosterone Replacement Therapy Pellets are a form of TRT treatment that many doctors push on patients. But do Testosterone pellets work well? Is worth going through 3 to 4 procedures each year? Is Testopel worth how expensive it is?

what’s going on guys test your levels
you’re probably thinking to yourself
look at that background look what’s
behind test your levels it’s so
such a great youtube studio it’s
honestly i didn’t expect to be recording
here
very many videos but long story short
i’m going to get it decorated here soon
i might even get a new logo and put some
vinyl
put a nice little vinyl sticker right
about well it’s backwards
anyway let’s do medical disclaimer and
get into it it’s all about humanity
[Music]
so i want to do a video on pellets and
i’ve seen
a good amount of people actually on them
and
it’s interesting i could only find like
two studies
on pellets and this one that i’m quoting
from
uh it’s not even really a study it’s
just talking about other studies that
were done in the past
there’s only like two or three of them
so it’s pretty interesting
and uh let’s just jump right in in this
study
it said currently the most popular form
of testosterone replacement therapy is
topical gels that require daily
applications and incur risk of
transferring
testosterone to a family member this was
in 2014
i don’t think the gels were the most
popular form then but just listen behind
that kind of how some of this stuff is
worded
this is kind of coming from the medical
community so just just note that
throughout the video
long lasting testosterone pellets were
approved in 1972 by the fda
at that time the only other options were
inexpensive generic intramuscular
testosterone injections
but interestingly enough testosterone
pellets were not marketed
until 2008. the formulation laid dormant
until 2008
when the patent was purchased by a newly
formed company called slate
and the pellets were now called testapel
again they
mentioned that gel-based uh testosterone
is the most popular form which
i don’t believe so maybe it’s the most
popular expensive form but
it sure as hell isn’t beating just
straight up test here’s another one
long-term topical and injection therapy
are fraught with
poor long-term compliance due to the
inconvenience of the application
fraught with low compliance you’ll see
the word compliance come up a lot
when you look into testosterone
medicines and studies and stuff like
that
um just a quick breakdown of what
medical compliance is it’s
taking your medicine and taking it at
the exact dosage that’s prescribed to
you
so a lot of they’ll talk about
testosterone you know compliance
you know if we give a person a 10 ml
bottle
they could become out of compliance by
taking too much and becoming a steroid
user
test the pel was thus a welcome new
addition to the trt treatment world
as it required a simple procedure three
or four times a year
so it’s great three or four times a year
you go there they give you some
novocaine in your hip
they slice you open they jam a tube in
there and they pump pellets in there
and hopefully some of them don’t pop out
and i’m not hating on
i’m not hating on anyone that’s on
pellets i mean some people i’m sure like
them
the only reason i would ever personally
do it is if i was like
super freaked out about needles and you
know
since i’ve done so many videos on sub q
i mean you can get over i
listen i used to be a phobia of needles
i used to have a pretty bad one
to where i saw people using needles on
like in movies and on tv like i had to
look away
but now i look forward to my shots
because they’re so easy you either do
a little little delt shot with a half
inch insulin syringe or
belly fat butt fat super easy moving on
it is unclear whether any
pharmacokinetic studies were ever done
on the actual testopel pellets
there are currently no published studies
prior to 2009
on the currently fda approved testapel
pellets
in 1972 i mean our understanding of
medicine was a lot less
so i feel like it was a lot easier to
get medicines approved back in the day
um and testopel was approved in 72 but
it was never sold
so then this company comes and buys the
patent and they’re like hey
you know trt is booming right now you
know what’s uh
you don’t think they purchased a patent
for testosterone pellets
out of the good of their heart just to
bring an even better tr tree treatment
to the world to men
all over the world hell no they were
like trt’s booming
look at this patent just sitting here
it’s fda approved snag this guy
up call it testipel make that money
which is why i haven’t really done
videos on
you know the gels or the pills or the
nasal spray
i personally feel they’re just the
pharmaceutical companies way to make
money
off something that’s already been solved
you know we’ve got
if you’re talking about long-term
compliance i mean look at australia they
go
they use libido you know you go there
every six weeks or ten weeks and you
have the doctor
put you in compliance and you know put
four mls in your glute
but um that’s why i’m just not a big fan
of them the only one that i would
possibly recommend to someone who’s like
super freaked out about needles would be
the compounded creams
but even then you know you can get less
absorption in their skin over time
people have different absorption rates
anyway let’s stick with pellets
so here’s some stuff from some of these
early studies reflecting the early
experience with the pellets
six of 15 men 40 extruded at least
one pellet though no wound infections
occurred so that’s good
you know no infections from inserting
pellets
you know under your skin the frequency
of pellet extrusion fell dramatically
with increased experience from an
incidence of 40 percent
after the first 15 procedures to 5 in
the later 96 implants
i found some newer data on on the you
know pellet extrusion and the
infections it says research reports 1.4
to 6.8 percent source of cases result in
infection
so one point five to seven percent
possibly getting an infection
and approximately five to twelve percent
cases resulted in extrusion
so one in 20 to three and 20
roughly fuzzy math uh guys that go in
there to get this done
have one pop out that’s kind of awkward
can you imagine just like being at work
and like you stand up and you walk past
all your co-workers and a little pellet
falls out of your butt
another interesting thing about the
pellets is the estimated
uh half-life is two and a half months
so that’s why they recommend going and
getting them every three to four months
and it’s it’s just minor surgery it’s
not
i mean you don’t have to go under
anesthesia or anything but i mean
it seems inconvenient to go and get your
skin sliced open and pellets jammed
under your skin
three to four times a year it’s also
quite expensive
that’s why this stuff’s around it’s not
because they stacked it up against
bottles of test and injections you know
once a week or twice a week injections
they’re like
pellets pellets win hands down so much
better
that uh you know this needs to be done
over the injections because
patient compliance another interesting
thing about the pellets
and one of the problems with it as well
is that once those amount of pellets are
in there
if you have too high of a dose or too
low of a dose
you have to have that procedure done
again so they either have to take some
pellets out
or put some pellets in so
and and here’s the crazy part
dosing of the pellets was arbitrarily
based on the severity of symptoms
body weight age and lifestyle so
unless you’re going to like the testopel
savant who can look at you and look at
your blood work and be like
750 perfect you know i mean
you may have to do a couple procedures
before you get dialed in
and that’s not even accounting for
estrogen and shbg
and you know all that other stuff so i
personally don’t recommend pellets but
a lot of doctors push them so this guy
lifevolts
did a study via survey based on patient
recall the choice of therapy was heavily
influenced by physicians recommendations
and 53 percent chose injections 31
percent
chose gels and 17 chose testapol
so i mean they did preface it was
heavily influenced by
the physician’s recommendation but even
with that
only 17 of the people chose testapow
here’s another issue with testipel and
doing these pellets
is that you can build up scar tissue
many implanters have found that with
repeated insurgents subcutaneous
fibrosis occurs
making the insertions more difficult so
once that starts happening to you if it
starts happening to you
it’s not going to get better so and over
i mean if you’re doing trt for the rest
of your life
i mean imagine let’s say you were on trt
for 30 years
and you did it four times a year
that is 160 160 procedures
that’s a lot of procedures that’s a lot
160 times you’re getting your skin
sliced open
they put a little tube in there and they
put a little you know
guide rod and put that in there that’s
hundreds of nuts sure i did the math
wrong on that
30 years 120 40 years would be 160.
now this was actually really interesting
this was this
got me off guard so they got the idea
that if they added arimidex
to either the testosterone pellets i’m
pretty sure that’s what they did
they got the idea that if they did that
they would slow the testosterone
absorption rate down
because the men would have less estrogen
and uh
it was actually interesting son of a
[ __ ] it worked
with the addition of a nastrazol
t-levels were maintained at yugonado
levels for 120 days
meaning reinsertion time was increased
from 124 days
to 194 days so they added 70 days to the
reinsertion time
just by adding arimadex that’s pretty
interesting
i mean it doesn’t think just because
they you know added 70 days doesn’t mean
i would run out and get
sliced open but it’s just interesting
how the human body works it’s so
everything is so tied together so just
by lowering these
people’s estrogen levels uh testosterone
got absorbed slower
pretty cool so overall i mean the
pellets do work
there are some issues with them and uh
they’re expensive
and you have to have minor surgery every
three to four months
i don’t recommend them to anyone and
another reason is like i said
once those pellets are in there if it’s
too high or too low
there’s only one way to fix it going
right back in
but i’ll leave you with something and
like i said i don’t dislike doctors but
this is a plastic surgeon someone very
well respected in the medical community
i mean these plastic surgeons do crazy
stuff
but what this doctor did uh was pretty
bad
so there was a lady right and
she had a history of estrogen-positive
breast cancer
a history of breast cancer due to
estrogen her plastic surgeon
recommended bhrt bioidentical hormone
replacement therapy
pellets unaware apparently unaware that
testosterone can aromatize into estrogen
we do everything we can to deplete the
patients of estrogen when they have
estrogen-positive breast cancers it was
highly alarming to us
we spoke to this plastic surgeon who
made some very erroneous statements
so this plastic surgeon i mean
he gave this lady like high doses of
tests
who had history of breast cancer caused
by estrogen
not caused by estrogen but made worse by
estrogen
i mean just not saying to question your
doctor
um well trust but verify
a good friend of mine told me that one
time it applies for most things
trust but verify that’s why it’s good to
do research
that’s why i made this channel and
that’s why i’m gonna
sign out by saying you’re awesome
and get your levels tested

Should Testosterone Be Legal? How Free are We in the USA?

https://youtube.com/watch?v=9SoBfFXOKnw

In this video I share my opinion on whether Testosterone should be legal and over the counter like it is in many other countries around the world. Why is something that is made in the body of every human on earth considered illegal to have?

what’s going on guys today we’re going
to cover whether tech should be legal or
not
i just finished watching the video by
anabolic doc i’m going to put some clips
in there
in his video while it’s informative it
was more of
posing the question should test be legal
my video’s gonna be a little bit
different because i’m gonna answer that
question
it’s all about humanity
[Music]
so in 1990 the united states passed
whatever act that basically banned all
of these substances
they cited there was a rise in illicit
trafficking
which i like to refer to as demand
because lots of people wanted them lots
of people were doing them
and the majority of these were men not
sports
athletes or anything like that there
were men that wanted to look better
so this poses a question kind of about
freedom and freedom is an interesting
thing
are humans are we do we have the freedom
to do what we want with our bodies
well not in the united states so let’s
say little timmy
wants to uh get bigger maybe he wants to
be a bodybuilder maybe he just wants to
add more muscles
can he do that no he cannot
so an anabolic docs video he kind of
starts off talking about the devil’s
lettuce
and he’s talking about how you know lots
of states have decriminalized it for
recreational and medical
use and you know i mean everyone knows
people that
use the devil’s lettuce it’s not hard to
find it’s
readily available but um he’s you know
questioning
you know is that a good idea if you’re
unfamiliar there’s five different
schedules of different substances in the
united states
class one or schedule one is the highest
meaning that there’s no medical use
they’re highly addictive and you know
they’re just bad for you in general
well guess what’s in that one fo devil’s
lettuce
a freaking plant that grows out of the
ground is the top dog like
one of the worst ones it’s in the worst
category yet it’s
decriminalized in many many states and
people don’t seem to be keeling over
dying
uh there doesn’t seem to be you know
anyway you know
if you live in one of those states it’s
all good they’re not having any issues
with it
but two steps down at class three you’ve
got testosterone
which is i may remind you a hormone
that’s naturally made in the body of
every single human that walks this
planet
but somehow that god in 1990 got
scheduled as a
schedule three right next to uh ketamine
and codeine
you know i mean two other very those are
actually pretty serious ones
i mean codeine can kill you anyway but
testosterone got
in the middle so what’s below it
well that’d be schedule four and we’ve
just got some you know some harmless
little stuff like
xanax starvation valium i mean don’t
worry about those
testosterone that’s one step up that’s
more dangerous
a hormone that’s in our body
is uh yeah so this kind of goes into
freedom a little bit i mean how free are
we
growing up you know it’s ingrained in
you in the united states you know home
of the free
uh you know we’re the most free culture
in the world
yet in mexico if i decide for whatever
reason i want to take testosterone i can
walk in get sussent on i’m in india
i can pretty much get whatever i want
and i don’t
ever really see you know just all of
mexico and india being 300 pound
gorillas
because you know it’s right there it’s
legal so everyone’s going to use it
it’s not like that but the united states
as a whole
we have issues we are consumers if you
know what i’m saying we consume
a lot of the world’s products uh whether
they be legal or not
so i think that in general americans
just use more
drugs of all different kinds
is it because we work more hours in most
countries because we have higher stress
because of the higher cost of living
i don’t know but should testosterone be
illegal
hell no the only people the only people
that
that affects are people that are
straight and arrow
you know even if they have a real
medical need for it they are not going
to go
outside of the norm and risk you know a
class
three you know bottle of testosterone
they’re just not going to do it
so let’s just say a little timmy well
he’s not little let’s say a little timmy
35 years old goes to his doctor doesn’t
have insurance doesn’t have a lot of
money
tests like 10 points higher than off the
bottom his doctor’s like nope you’re
good
and timmy’s like well what am i gonna do
i uh i don’t have insurance so i can’t
just keep going to doctor’s appointment
after doctor’s appointment
because i work 50 hours a week and i
also can’t miss work to go to these
all these appointments i can’t afford a
clinic
but little timmy’s in a in a spot
because it’s illegal he can’t walk into
walmart and just get a bottle of
scipiene and start medicating himself
so you have to ask yourself does should
timmy have the right to
diagnose himself and treat his own body
which is his
the only one he gets i think so what do
you guys think what do you guys think in
the comments
should test be legal and considering
it’s a hormone
and another thing in 2004 they actually
added some more
things to the 1990 thing saying pro
hormones
precursors you know basically anything
and they open the doors that any new
compounds
uh that they deem unsafe whatever
uh they can put on that list as well so
it’s
it’s kind of crazy i mean the united
states isn’t really that free
you know little jimmy he dreams of being
a 300 pound gorilla
yeah nice picks sweet
budget but the united states
government’s like nah
we’re keeping your safety in mind jimmy
you know we want to
uh we want you to be safe um just go
cool down calm down at your local
mcdonald’s have a big mac
fries and a 64-ounce coke and then go
home and have
you know a budweiser or some jack
daniels maybe calm down with a cigar or
a cigarette
and if you’re still having a lot of
anxiety we can just go to the doctor and
give you some xanax some darva set or
some valium
but testosterone that’s where we draw
the line
another interesting thing from anabolic
docs video is i’m not sure we
got this information but it says that 5
of the world has used
testosterone or some type of performance
enhancing drug of some kind
that’s 1 in 20 people so maybe
more people than not want to try the
stuff want to do it maybe they like how
it feels maybe they
i don’t know but it seems like a lot of
people like it a lot of people do it
there’s demand for it
and uh if there’s demand there’s gonna
be supply
so like i said before the only people
that
these laws affect our people that
need testosterone but we’ll never go
outside the
boundaries of the law in any way it’s uh
well i don’t even want to bring up the
gun talk because that’s a whole other
story
and i don’t want to be political on this
channel but what do you guys think
should test be legal should everything
be legal
should we just let the government decide
what we can and cannot do with our
bodies
and just touching back on the freedom a
little bit you know back
whenever if you were a man that wanted
to marry another man
nope not legal woman that wants to marry
another woman
nope not legal but now it’s legal in
most places so
i don’t know it’s weird we live in a
weird world lots of weird laws
but we basically we’re told what we can
and cannot put in our bodies
and if we want to put those things in
our bodies even if they don’t hurt
others
well we can go to jail for it so
i don’t know interesting little video
just watch that video kind of got me
kind of got my gears going
so let me know in the comments you think
it should be legal or if you live in a
country where they are legal
can you let us know if everyone out
there is 300 pound gorillas
let me know anyway guys that’s gonna do
it
just some food for thought get the gears
moving as always
you’re awesome and get your levels

How to come off TRT, How to stop TRT, How to restore natural testosterone production after TRT

How to come off TRT, How to stop TRT, How to restore natural testosterone production after TRT, How to restore natural testosterone production after Testosterone Replacement Therapy.

https://youtube.com/watch?v=7LuLM-HmmfE

hi how’s it going if you’re watching
this video
you probably typed in how to get off trt
and stumbled upon this video
so before we start i’m not a doctor uh
this is not medical advice
in any way shape or form i’m just
presenting some information
uh some bro science some anecdotal some
science based and uh yeah we’re gonna do
a quick medical disclaimer and jump
right in
it’s all about humanity
[Music]
so for whatever reason you started trt
maybe to feel better but it’s just not
for you that’s not what this video is
about
if you’ve made the decision to jump off
trt whether it’s fertility
side effects whatever it is that’s what
we’re here to discuss
so there’s pretty much four options
there’s four
but in my opinion there’s really three
before we jump into these compounds i
want to discuss
why you have to do certain things when
you come off trt
and i’m going to be referencing the
bodybuilding community a lot in this
video
because they have the most experience
with this so when
bodybuilders or guys jim bros when they
run high amounts of testosterone it
shuts off their natural
production in their body so they run for
however long
and then when they stop they have to
take things and do things in order to
get their body producing testosterone
again this is what’s known at pct
or post cycle therapy and if you’re
coming off trt
you’re probably doing something very
similar to pct
but probably to a less crazy degree
you’re going to be taking less
uh because your body’s not going to be
as shut down it may be
but this is kind of a you know it’s one
of those individual things where
certain things work for some people
sometimes it doesn’t work as well for
other people
there’s no science to this there’s
there’s science in the medicines but
there’s not like a
okay if you’re on trt for this long at
this dosage for this amount of time
you have to take this amount of this for
this long it’s not like that
unfortunately and because i’m not a
doctor i can’t give you any dosages
i’m just gonna be talking about the
compounds that are you commonly used for
pct or coming off trt
if you’ve only been on trt for like a
week or two you probably don’t need to
do any of this your body should recover
on its own but if you’ve been on trt for
a few months
this is something you probably have to
do and you should definitely consult
your doctor
this is just baseline knowledge i’m not
a doctor how many times have i said that
so far
anyway when you start taking outside
testosterone
your body your brain is like okay i’ve
got enough i don’t need to make it
anymore
but since you’re not going to be taking
outside testosterone anymore
we need to get your brain to turn on
that testosterone valve
so there’s a couple medicines that do
this the first one
and the most common commonly used is
clomid
and clomid is a serum and what it’s
basically going to do
it’s going to get in your brain and it’s
going to attach to estrogen receptors
and
so estrogen is not to be able to bind to
these receptors so your brain is like
okay we don’t have that much estrogen so
we need to send the signal down to the
boys to produce more testosterone that’s
going to convert
into estrogen that we need and novodex
is the other one and it does the same
thing pretty much
just it’s just a different medicine that
basically does the same thing
get in there tell your brain we don’t
have enough estrogen we need to turn on
the boys
let’s get this going out of the two
i mean they each can have their own side
effects
one to look out for on clomid is any
vision issues
blurriness fuzziness floaters anything
like that
you should discontinue clomid call your
doctor let them know you’re having that
issue
stop because clomid can have permanent
vision effects side effects
now it doesn’t happen to everyone
obviously but just something to know
keep that in mind from what i’ve seen
it’s kind of a 50 50 toss-up in the
bodybuilding community with clomid and
novodex
some people swear by one some people
swear by the other
this is part of the process that i
cannot help you with because i’m not a
doctor
i think that’s like the fourth time i’ve
said it so those are your two
most common those are two of the four
the third one
is hcg human chorionic gonadotropin
now what hcg does is it mimics
luteinizing hormone in your boys lose
hormone did i say hormone
it mimics luteinizing hormone in your
boys and it tells them to
keep doing what they’re doing you know
keep producing testosterone
stay close to the same size let’s make
we need to make some boys some little
swimmer guys
hcg i personally i think it would go
well
on a pct some people say that it it’s
not as good because
it’s mimicking the luteinizing hormone
and it’s not having the signal from your
brain go to your boys and tell you
tell them to produce start producing
testosterone so a lot of people
will use these we use either climate or
novadex in conjunction with hcg
a guy seth ferros or feroci he’s on
youtube you can check him out he has a
whole video on it
he goes into a lot more detail than i
that i do
but he uses clomid and hcg and he even
breaks down some of the you know the
dosages the time frames all that
you can also do some research on pct
you probably you know you wouldn’t think
to search pct because maybe you’re not
in that world
you’ve never even touched steroids you
have no idea about them you just wanted
trt to see if it would work for you
but basically if you want to do research
on this look up pct or post cycle
therapy
if i were to personally do a pct i would
probably go with novadex and hcg
but that’s just me you need to talk to
your doctor
now the fourth option and i don’t
personally
like this option but it has been used
some people have
used it effectively our aromatase
inhibitors
are like arimadex or aromason or
xemastain
now basically they’re accomplishing the
same thing as the serms
but in a different way taking one of
these two medicines
is basically going to kind of block your
body from converting testosterone into
estrogen
leading to your brain realizing we don’t
have as much estrogen
so we need to tell the boys to make more
testosterone to convert over to estrogen
it’s it’s a different way of
accomplishing the same thing
um but i don’t like it as
much there is a lot of controversy over
ai’s
and if you’re not careful you can crash
your estrogen
way too far and your body won’t be able
to react quick enough and produce enough
testosterone
to convert into estrogen which are
actively stopping from converting to
estrogen by taking an ai so
for i mean it is an option if that’s all
you have
but i would stick with the first two
that we discussed
um other than those you know i mean
those are the main things what you’re
trying to do is get your body to produce
more testosterone
um i would definitely take some
multivitamins
some vitamin d3 possibly some
ashwagandha to help with cortisol levels
and that’s also been shown
to boost your testosterone a little bit
but when you’re coming off trt
every little bit helps other than that i
would also suggest if you’re not already
eating cleanly and exercising because
that’s just good for the body when the
body is
feeling good and you’re doing good
things for your body your body works
better
you know it’s just like your car you

New TRT Study on Unhealthy Men – Diabetes, Overweight, PSA, Hematocrit, Health

In this new TRT study, doctors wanted to evaluate if TRT was safe for overweight men who had diabetes and had low testosterone. The studied the subject for 2 years and monitored their PSA levels, Hematocrit levels and overall health. The result are very interesting!

https://youtube.com/watch?v=e-nvlEUU8mg

what’s going on guys tester levels here
i found a pretty cool study
and it’s a smaller study but it’s still
a good study and
basically they took unhealthy men put
them on trt
and recorded what happened to them with
some things like hematocrit psa and just
overall health and we’ll do a quick
medical disclaimer we’ll jump right in
it’s all about humanity
for this study they took 55 guys all
over weight
all type 2 diabetic all hypogonadal
and they gave them trt for two years
most of them two years
and they decided to see what would
happen with things like
psa hematocrit overall health and you
know any cardiovascular issues
i think you’ll find what they found in
the study pretty interesting
and it’s another study that shows that
trt and a lot of the stuff that they
said about it
back in the day is not really correct
two years of testosterone therapy can be
safe even in a high risk population of
obese men
with functional hypogonadism and type 2
diabetes
when appropriate safety practices
outline by the clinical guidelines are
diligently followed
so overall basically what they’re saying
is that so far in this study
proved trt is pretty safe they didn’t go
into any of the benefits these guys
received or if they became healthier
because of it but uh i think you’ll be
interested in some of the numbers
researchers conducted a first-year
double-blind second-year open label
randomized placebo controlled trial
with 55 white men age 40 to 70 years
with confirmed symptomatic hypogonadism
type 2 diabetes and obesity
so it’s not a huge study it’s only 55
guys and they broke them into two groups
and the first was the placebo and they
gave them the placebo for one year
and the other group was getting libido
the entire time
and then after the one-year mark they
switched the placebo group
onto nebido to see what you know they
would experience within a year
whereas the other guys were on for two
years so it’s a pretty interesting way
to do a study
for this study they were looking at you
know some of the things that
people say that trt can cause issues
with
the first one being hematocrit where
your blood thickens up
and you know on all the labels like
jatenzo it has to say like
possible you know possible could cause
stroke uh you know
prostate cancer heart issues so they
checked
well they checked psa and imatocrate and
i’ll tell you about the heart one later
so for hematocrit i’m not going to read
all the numbers but individual
hematocrit values never exceeded the
upper safety limit of 52
in either group during the two-year
study our findings are in accordance
with several studies which show that the
effects of testosterone therapy on
hematocrit
became apparent after three months and
the plateau is reached within nine to
twelve months
you know that’s interesting as well this
is another study that showed that
while your hematocrit does go up and for
some people it is an issue
um you know they seem to see that it’s
plateaus from nine to 12 months
so pretty much you could kind of
extrapolate from that that if you’re on
trt
for a year and your material levels are
pretty good then
it shouldn’t become an issue for you
unless you change your lifestyle or
you know move to colorado or something
like that of the 55 participants 52
never had a psa level above four it did
show their psa levels did creep
up a little bit but you have to remember
these are 40 to 70 year old guys who
have diabetes they have
they’ve had hypogonadism for however
long
and uh they’re overweight in the
treatment group
mean total testosterone increased from
209 at baseline
to 491 at 12 months and 677
at 24 months in the placebo group that
was only on trt for one year
the mean total testosterone when they
started was 283
and then it increased to 517 after 12
months
one thing that did stick out to me that
was interesting is that i’m assuming
they’re giving these guys all the exact
same dose because it’s a study they’re
not going to give
you know some guys more some guys less
but it was interesting that
you know the guys that were on for 24
months had an average of 677 tests
while the guys who had only been doing
it for a year were at 512.
i mean that makes me wonder you know
does your testosterone
i mean could your testosterone go up you
know 100 some odd points
in a year taking the exact same dose i
don’t know maybe that’s
something we’ll have to do a test on no
adverse prostate cancer
etherocytosis or cardiovascular events
reported during the trial
and no side effects of the medication
were observed according to the
researchers this may
be due to the limited study population
size and does not constitute conclusive
evidence
that testosterone therapy has no
negative effects on cvd and prostate
health
yeah it’s definitely a small study it’s
only 55 guys and i hope they do
a larger study like this so we can get
an even more concrete
answer as to how safe testosterone is
now obviously this was just for trt this
wasn’t you know
blasting or anything like that but this
is i think this is like the third or
fourth video that i’ve done
showcasing a study showing that you know
it’s not like it’s not crazy unhealthy
like you know the fda will put on their
warning labels and
you know doctors will tell you well you
know you have a heart attack stroke your
blood’s going to get thick you know you
can have a heart attack all that stuff
and sure it’s possible but the science
is
and these studies are you know not
showing that
you know none of these guys in two years
had a cardiovascular event
uh none of them had a psa over four well
three of them did
but they’re 40 to 70 year old and
they’re obese and uh
you know the hematocrit another
interesting point was that you know they
saw that it plateaued from nine months
to a year
so that was interesting as well so i can
i hope they continue to do more studies
like this
because there’s a lot of doctors out
there that think trt’s dangerous and
they’re gonna you know i don’t
you’re a 150 level you know i’m not
giving you trt that’s
dangerous you get prostate cancer and
heart attack so
i just hope that more and more studies
come out over time uh
and i do hope that they show that trt is
pretty safe when done correctly
and this is just another one so thanks
for watching guys i hope you found that
interesting
as always you’re awesome and get your
levels tested

Greg Doucette Vs Remington James Anabolic Cookbook Showdown! Which Anabolic Cookbook is the best????

Both Greg Doucette and Remington James have Anabolic Cookbooks available for purchase. But which one is better? In this video I cover Remington James and Greg Doucette’s diet styles, who each of them will benefit, which one I would personally buy and some tings to note about each of their anabolic cookbooks.

https://youtube.com/watch?v=7BdILaKBtGU

what’s going on guys tester levels here
thanks for being here
today we’re gonna go over two different
popular youtubers
uh recipe books and i’m gonna give you
kind of the general idea of their books
the cost the amount of recipes
and in the end i’ll let you know which
one i would go with if i was in the
market for
a cookbook so the first cookbook is greg
ducette’s anabolic cookbook
2.0 he just recently released this i
think the day after christmas
and he’s got about 150 recipes
some of them maybe not duplicates but
variants but those are each counted as
an individual recipe
remington james is the other one and he
has
roughly 100 plus recipes
but that number slowly goes up and i’ll
let you know how that works a little
later on
so i’m going to break down kind of both
their philosophies
on dieting slash eating and how that’s
represented in their cookbook
and we’ll start with greg greg doucet
his
idea on dieting is low calorie dense
foods
you know popcorn is a big example he’s a
real big fan of popcorn because
you know it has a huge amount of volume
but very little calories
his thought process is that if you make
meals
that are large in volume but lower in
calories you’re going to be full
all the time so you’re not going to be
wanting to binge you’re not starving
yourself
and you know you’re just taking in more
food but it’s
less calories so you’re going to lose
weight and you’re going to stay
full at the same time greg also does
include lots of vegetables in his
recipes
and he does use a good amount of
artificial sweeteners
remington james has a little different
concept of it
and his thought process is more along
taking foods that you already like and
substituting ingredients to make them
lower calorie and higher protein and
lower fat as well
you know for example he would make a
protein pizza where he would
replace uh he would make a crust out of
fat-free cheese and eggs
and use fat-free mozzarella and turkey
pepperoni
so it’s a variant of pizza with the
ingredients substituted to make it
lower fat lower carb and higher protein
and the thought process between his diet
is that you’re still eating foods that
you
like so you’re not sacrificing uh you
know some of your favorite meals
you’re just modifying the way they’re
created so that they are lower calorie
lower fat and lower carb
and he also tries to incorporate more
protein so who are these cookbooks
geared toward uh we’ll start with
remington on this one
so i kind of feel remington’s book
as recipes are geared more toward guys
that are looking to
put on muscle and lose fat at the same
time
i would say more of a a clean bulk
if i had to describe it in kind of you
know one or two words
so his idea is you know high protein
lower fat lower carb
he’s not as concerned about the volume
of food
but more about you know you could take
you know if you ate five as different
recipes
exactly you know exactly what your
macros were you could add another meal
in if you wanted more protein or you
could take one out
if you if you wanted to cut a little bit
more now greg ducett’s book
i feel is geared more toward people that
are more
looking at the weight loss aspect so i
think it would be more of
preserving muscle while cutting
because his recipes still do include a
lot of protein as well
but i think his recipe and his diet is
more geared toward losing weight as
opposed to building muscle
i’m not saying you couldn’t build muscle
while you’re on it i just i think
remington’s recipes focus more on the
protein whereas greg
focuses a little bit on more on the
volume to keep you more full
so it’s really i think more of what you
want to
accomplish and you could accomplish both
with both books
i just think that remington’s is more
for trying to gain muscle
and you know lose fat at the same time
maybe not as
fast of a rate where greg’s is more
about losing weight
while still keeping a solid protein
intake so next we’re going to go over
in my personal opinion who would benefit
the most
from either one of these books and we’ll
start with greg on this one
i think the people that benefit most
from greg’s book and his style of eating
would be people that have a hard time
with eating too much
maybe they’re not eating horrible foods
all day but
they’re the people that just eat too
much in general
and i think where greg’s book and
recipes would help with this
is that you know with more volume um and
lower calories in those foods
you’re going to be able to eat the same
amount but it’s going to be less
calories
and you’re going to lose weight in turn
and remington james book and recipes
i think his style of diet slash eating
would benefit people more who had a hard
time with
eating the wrong stuff not necessarily
that they were overeating and
eating way too much but they were eating
the foods
uh that are you know typically not good
for us calorically and fat and carbs and
all that good stuff you know the guys
that maybe eat three meals a day or four
meals a day but
you know three out of the four of them
are you know either pizza or burgers or
tacos and stuff like that
and for those people if you replaced you
know
just those meals with four three or four
healthier options
you’re going to lose weight so some
things to note about the recipes
remington james replaces a lot of foods
you know like cheese for example with
fat-free versions
some of them some fat-free versions of
foods are just made with you know skim
milk instead of whole milk
but there are some fat-free foods that
have added sugars so you definitely need
to take that into account
greg’s style’s a little different greg
does
use a good amount of artificial
sweeteners um
which isn’t necessarily a bad thing but
some people aren’t a fan of the
artificial sweeteners or try to consume
the least amount as possible but for a
lot of the dessert recipes
and in remington’s book or his app as
well
you know most of the dessert recipes
have to have some type of artificial
sweetener in there
or you know the calories are going to be
higher
but greg does use a little bit more
some of them are exotic ingredients not
really exotic but
you know his recipe calls for a very
specific type of
sweetener or sauce or syrup and
sometimes you may not be able to get
those locally
so not a bad thing not a negative just
wanted to
bring that up as something to consider
greg and remington
their cookbooks and recipes are in two
different formats
greg’s is in a pdf so when you go on his
website and you purchase it you’ll get a
pdf in your email
whereas remington james all his recipes
are on an app
so once you purchase the app you get the
app and then you open it up and that’s
where the recipes are
and i’m bringing that up for a reason
i’ll get to that at the end of the video
so what do each of these cookbooks cost
we’ll get the easy one out remington
james his app costs 99
100 bucks let’s round up um greg has
two different cookbooks uh the first one
uh the 1.0 version was 99 bucks
now this latest version that he released
right after christmas
is 150 but if you had purchased his
first book
you got an email with a 50 discount code
so you could buy the second one for 99
bucks 100 bucks
so in essence to get all of greg’s
recipes
if you had bought the first one it would
cost 200
if you hadn’t bought the first one and
wanted to get both it would be 250
but greg also did mention that a good
amount of the recipes
from the first one are also in the
second one
i didn’t pay 150 bucks to get greg’s
book so i don’t know exactly which ones
are and which ones aren’t
and he hasn’t said that specifically not
that i’ve seen so
just keep that in mind but the new one
is 150.
so which one would i go with if i was in
the market for a cookbook
for me personally and this is just me i
would personally go with remington james
cookbook
simply for the fact that it kind of more
aligns with
with my goals at the time at the current
time
and trust me i need to cut um it’s i’m
not the guru on cutting
so i’m not sitting here saying like oh
i’m some rip dude and i picked remington
james book because of this this and this
right now i’m looking to gain as much
muscle as possible and
slowly lose fat over time i’m not really
looking to cut right now
and his recipes they’re similar to the
way i’ve dieted in the past and
currently
like just for example i used to make
turkey tacos with
ultra lean ground turkey some seasoning
and i put them on low-carb tortillas
so i’m still eating you know tacos i
just changed out some of the ingredients
to make them more healthy
i think both books offer a wide variety
of recipes
i think the recipes taste good both have
breakfast lunch dinner and desserts i
think they’re both worth the money
if you make a positive change in your
body and you stick with either one of
these and you lose weight
i mean that’s priceless it’s not
priceless but you know i’d say
if you were to spend 150 bucks on greg’s
book and you totally change the way you
eat and you start losing weight and
eating healthier
then absolutely it’s worth it same thing
with remington james book
so i i mean also keep in mind
you’re kind of you’re paying a premium
to support them and support their work
you know there’s lots of places online
where you can find recipes
similar so just keep that in mind i’m
not hating on it they put a lot of time
into these books
uh it takes a lot of time to do this
stuff so you know
you’re they’re putting time and they
have to make it worth their while
so if i was on the fence and i was
looking between both of these and i
didn’t you know it wasn’t dead set on a
particular way of eating or i wasn’t
trying to gain a huge amount of muscle
or wasn’t trying to cut
and i was open to either one you know
either one of these books
would be a good choice in my opinion um
but there are some differences
um that i would look at as a consumer
the first one is that greg’s book is
fifty dollars more
so right off the bat remington’s book is
you know fifty dollars cheaper
um and you know it’s it’s 20 21 right
now but it’s been a tough year a lot of
people don’t have a lot of extra cash so
50 save 50 bucks and get a book
you know that could uh definitely help
some people out another thing i would
consider as a consumer
is the delivery mechanism for the
recipes
greg’s book is a pdf and remington
james’s
recipes are in an app me personally
when i look up recipes in the kitchen i
normally would look through google and
i’d pull it up on my phone
with that being said i personally feel
an app would be easier for me to use so
i could click and search for a
particular recipe
click it up i would have my phone there
while i’m putting together everything
together and reading the instructions
so for me just an app seems easier than
you know trying to find a pdf in my
phone and then opening it up
i just feel like an app is more designed
to be on a phone which is what i
personally use when i’m doing recipes
another thing i do like with remington’s
recipes
over greg’s is that because it’s an app
and not a pdf
when he creates new recipes he just
updates the app
so you pay the hundred bucks and you
know he constantly adds more
recipes as he goes so the recipes grow
and grow and grow
whereas greg’s you get the pdf i mean
the pdf is it’s static it’s
those are the recipes that are there and
those are the recipes that are going to
be there it’s not you can’t update pdfs
i guess you can’t update pdfs but it’s
not like an
app where you know you just continue to
add stuff and people have access to it
and one last thing and i’m not knocking
on greg for doing this
listen he’s a busy guy he’s got to make
money took him a long time to put all
these recipes together and make it look
nice do the
all that good stuff um is that you know
the first greg had his first book out
and that was 100 bucks
and when he put out the second book he
didn’t say you know anyone who bought
the first book gets the updated version
you gave them 50 off but it’s still
another 100 bucks
so for me you know do i want to buy
greg’s cookbook
right now for 150 bucks and then buy the
updated version for another 150 or 100
when that comes out
my guess is that greg will put out the
anabolic cookbook 3.0
and you probably will offer a discount
to people who bought the first or the
second one
but i don’t want to every year be buying
a brand new cookbook to get new recipes
i personally i really like the idea of
you know paying once getting kind of
access
as like a member and then you know
getting the new app or the updated app
with new recipes
that’s just me you may love greg’s
recipes and you know
maybe you’ve lost a whole bunch of
weight on greg’s recipes and you’re
willing to pay whatever it is
because you want all the new recipes and
you want to expand
your culinary experience so that’s about
it guys
i think both books are good i think
there’s good solid recipes
obviously some people are going to like
one or the other i just thought i would
give you kind of a deeper
insight into what the differences are so
you can make a more educated decision
but that’s about it guys let me know in
the comments which one you like better
or which one you own and why you own it
just let me know
be interesting to hear and maybe it’ll
help someone else make a decision
so guys that’s about it as always
you’re awesome and get your levels
tested shout out to remington james
and greg ducette have a good one guys

Why are Prescription Medicines So Expensive in the United States? Why is Medicine Cost So Much?

In this video I cover why prescription medicines usually cost four times as much for Americans compared to the rest of the world. Just what makes prescriptions so expensive in the United States. It has gotten to the point where many Americans cannot afford their prescriptions. The US medical and pharmaceutical system is severely broken and hard working Americans ultimately pay the price, Literally!!!

https://youtube.com/watch?v=hGuuwjRHV0A

what’s going on guys test your levels
fun fact
i already did this video once but i
recorded it when it was recording my
screen
but anyway thanks for being here if
you’re new click on the subscribe button
but let’s talk about why prescription
medicines are so expensive in the united
states
and at the end of this video you’re
going to be like this is mind-boggling
this makes no sense
this is un-american and it should be
stopped
but nothing’s going to change so let’s
jump in
americans spend about twelve hundred
dollars a year on average on
prescription medicines
which is four times more than the
average across the world
so right off the bat we’re paying four
times more for the same
exact prescription medicines that are
created in our country
think about that for a minute let that
sink in one in four americans
report having trouble paying for all
their prescriptions
that’s 25 of our country roughly 75
million people
have a hard time paying for their
prescriptions
so if you’re in a room with four people
one person in that room is having a hard
time affording the medicines
that are created in their country a
survey done in 2016
found that 14 percent of americans with
insurance had trouble paying for their
prescriptions
or didn’t fill certain scripts or only
took
you know half the dosage to make them
last longer 14
with insurance imagine if you’re
uninsured imagine what that number jumps
to
i couldn’t find it but i’m going to
assume it’s a lot higher than 14
that’s insane the fact that 14 of this
country
pays for medical insurance and has a
hard time affording their medicines
you’re probably saying to yourself these
pharmaceutical companies they’ve got
lots of overhead you know they have to
hire people
to create these medicines then they have
to pay for
the studies you know phase one phase two
they have to get it approved by the fda
they have to go through all this
rigmarole
you know it’s expensive and it is
expensive but would it
annoy you a little bit if only 17
of pharmaceutical companies overhead is
from research and development so let’s
just say 20
let’s round up so one-fifth of their
overall cost in a year
is for research and development you want
to know what the second one is
marketing so they did this little thing
where they figured out
how much all the different
pharmaceutical companies in the united
states spend on research and development
and it’s a staggering number it’s 80
billion dollars
so all the companies in the united
states spent 80 billion dollars a year
on research and development
that’s a lot of money huge right so
they’ve got to make their money i get it
you know they’re a company they’re not
doing this for charity
but then they looked at the top 20
prescription medicines that are sold in
the united states
and during the same year they calculated
how much profit or how much
these companies took in from just the
top 20 prescription medicines
that number was 120 billion so yeah they
spent 80 billion
on research and development and they
pulled in 120 for a nice cool profit of
40 billion dollars now that’s just the
top 20 medicines that’s the top 20.
they still make money on the 1 top 100
top 200 top 300 and so forth so
now you can see why a pharmaceutical
company is so profitable
this is a fun one this one’s going to
piss you off
but out of the top 10 pharmaceutical
companies in the united states
there’s only one that spends more on
research and development
than marketing that means that 90
of the top pharmaceutical companies
spend more on marketing
than they do on research and development
hmm
makes sense right but they’ve got this
hefty r d cost that’s why they have to
raise the prices
no a lot of it’s marketing here’s a fun
one the united states and new zealand
are the only two countries in the world
where pharmaceutical companies
can directly market prescription
medicines to the general public
so that means if you’re in any other
country but those two
you don’t see pharmaceutical ads so what
you do
is when you go to the doctor you say doc
i’ve got this issue
they run a blood test or whatever they
do and they figure out the issue
and the doc sits back and says okay i
think this medicine would be the best
medicine for you
now here in the united states of new
zealand we see ads for pharmaceutical
companies all the time
so we’re sitting home and we’re like
well okay here’s an ad
oh i may have a okay all right let me
check it out
and you go to your doctor and you say
hey i saw this astrazeneca ad
i think it would work for me can you
prescribe it for me and the doc says
well
okay yeah it’s it’s pretty close to what
may be good okay here’s a script
i mean is that crazy that not only do we
pay four times more for prescription
medicines than any other countries
but we’re one of two that allow the
pharmaceutical companies to advertise
directly to us
pretty crazy huh here’s where the united
states and other countries like canada
australia great britain differ in how
they deal with pharmaceutical companies
so in australia canada when a new drug
is released the farmer school company
comes to
the country it’s whatever regulatory
body they have that deals with it
and they say hey we have this new
medicine uh this is what our reporting
shows these are what the studies show
and the regulators will look and say
okay well
it’s you know is it better than the
stuff that’s already on the market
is it cost effective for how much more
effective it is
uh this and that and they basically
negotiate the price
and in the united states we do not so
the drug companies just get to
you know they can market something
that’s one percent better
and charge four times as much and
there’s no regulatory body to tell them
not to
so another thing about the united states
is that
health care providers and insurance
companies are the ones negotiating
with pharmaceutical companies so you can
see why the prices vary so much
so the united states just has a super
fragmented system
to where in other countries the
government is buying all of the stuff
so they’re a buying it in bulk which is
getting them a bigger discount
and a they negotiate i mean who would
have thought that negotiating with
someone that you’re buying in bulk from
could get you better prices it’s crazy
right
but we’ll see we’ll keep going just
follow the money
just follow the money that’s uh that’s
how you figure stuff out in life
another reason that there’s other
countries that actually negotiate with
the pharmaceutical companies
the reason they do it is because they
see medicine as something that their
population needs
and they need to have their population
be able to afford their
these medicines so that their population
is healthy
so you know they don’t regulate you know
consumer goods
but they want to regulate medicine and
prices so that their
customer customers so that their
population doesn’t get ripped off
and are put in the situation the same as
25
of americans are having a hard time
paying for their medicines
and when you have to choose between
medicine and food or medicine and your
lights or medicine and your water
you know maybe you can get by another
month or so without your medicine that’s
sad
it’s pretty wild though and we’ll just
keep following the money
there is actually one government agency
in the united states that actually does
negotiate for prices
and it’s the veterans health
administration or the va
so they are actually the only ones in
the united states that actually
negotiate
prices of drugs for the 55 000 55
million people that they cover
and guess what they pay about 40 less
than you and me
well than our insurance companies but
because they actually negotiated and
they’re buying in bulk
they uh they get better pricing i mean
shocker it
baffles your mind it boggles your mind
now we’ll jump over to medicare which
covers a whole lot of people in the
united states
there’s actually a federal law that
states that medicare
cannot negotiate the prices of drugs a
federal law that prohibits medicare
for federal government from negotiating
prices on drugs
hmm who would that benefit the american
taxpayer
or the pharmaceutical company pretty
wild huh
the other thing about medicare is as
long as a medicine
is deemed safe by the fda
they are required to offer it to their
patients if a drug comes out that’s
one percent better and four times more
expensive than what’s already on the
market
medicare has to at least offer it to
their patients
so if you’re sitting over at pfizer or
merck or bear and you’re like
this is like a honey hole i mean
literally we can just come out with a
new medicine
that’s slightly better maybe and
we can mark up the price and medicare
has to cover it
and then we’ll put ads on tv so that
people see it
and people with that condition say oh
well this is the new stuff so i want to
get that
they tell their doctor i want to get
that medicine and then the government
pays four times more which in turn
trickles down to us
paying more this making sense to anyone
else
or does this just make sense if you’re
in the government
or a pharmaceutical company so good rx
you’ve probably seen the ads for goodrx
hi linda
looks like you’ve got a prescription to
film any idea how much that’s gonna cost
in there
i’m really not sure well you’re probably
gonna pay two or three times more than
you should in there
you download good rx it’s free and you
type in whatever prescription you get
and it
gives you a discount basically or a
lower price than what you normally pay
and for me every prescription medicine
that i take
it costs less with goodrx than it does
with my insurance
now how does that work how does a free
app get me better pricing on
prescription medicine
than a service that i pay like 500 bucks
a month for
how does that even make sense well to
understand this
there’s lots of different layers of how
medicines get to your pharmacy
shocker they don’t just buy them
directly from the pharmaceutical company
that’d be too easy so there’s different
layers so you’ve got the pharmaceutical
company
that deals with distributors and then
there’s a funny layer that we’ll get to
and then their actual pharmacy now this
funny little layer
is basically different organizations
that offer
prescription medicines or insurance to
people
so someone like aarp they have a huge
following they have lots of people that
they offer
certain deals to so because aarp is so
big
they can negotiate huge price drops
so let’s say a medicine is 50
normally at the pharmacy with good rx or
aarp
you can get it for 30 that’s because
aarp
has negotiated this price down from the
distributors and for the pharmacy
and guess what there’s still even a
little profit there that goes to goodrx
and aarp
i’m pretty sure that aarp or goodrx goes
through aarps
whatever it’s called and that’s how they
get such good pricing
but it’s amazing to me that you know
good rx can get better prices than
insurance company
pretty wild huh pretty wild that the
exact same medicine coming from the
exact same distributor
can cost two different prices depending
on the little code they use
through your insurance or goodrx or aarp
but that’s what makes sense right it
totally makes sense
i mean why would the same medicine in
the same country in the same pharmacy
cost two different prices depending on
what little middleman
code they typed in that went through
makes no sense
the american health system is jacked
it’s
corrupt it’s basically like strong armed
robbery basically but with medicines
for profit so i’ve got two more little
things to cover
so in this article i read it was really
interesting that they were
basically saying that americans are
subsidizing
research and development for new
medicines for the rest of the world
so we’ve got an american company an
american company
that is charging the americans four
times more for medicines
for research and development for
medicines that they’re gonna go take
and sell over in canada in europe in
australia
for twenty five percent of the cost so
basically americans are being charged a
high price from american companies
in order to fund research and
development and profit
so that new medicines can be created and
shared with the world at a quarter of
the price
think about that for a minute just think
about that
companies that were able to thrive
because they were in the united states
because of our people because our
education system because of our
infrastructure
all that good stuff are charging their
own countrymen and women
three four times as much for medicines
so they can sell them to other countries
for 25 percent
now it’s fantastic they’re coming out
with new medicines but it’s really
[ _ ] up that americans people who can’t pay for their prescriptions because they’re funding research and development to sell new medicines to other countries think about that you’re probably good and mad right now and you’re thinking like this is crazy how are these american companies anyway how are they able to do this why does the united states not negotiate drug prices why well i saw something where the pharmaceutical company spends on average about five hundred thousand dollars in lobbying per senator i’m not sure exactly how many there are but it’s a lot of money so pharmaceutical companies they have deep pockets they throw money at politicians you know they’ve got lobbyists the guys you know help craft these bills and you know look at hcg for instance hcg was packaged up in a bill that was designed to make insulin cheaper what did it actually do well it made it so compounding pharmacies can’t make it so as soon as they run out supposedly it’s gone and what’s the other option pharmaceutical pregnano so compounding pharmacies can’t make it for relatively cheaper so now patients that still want hcg have to get it from pharmaceutical companies pharmaceutical grade the exact same [ _ ] that costs
you know cost more so
you know follow the money you’ve got
pharmaceutical companies lobbying at the
government
government doesn’t negotiate prices and
the prices are crazy high
which we’re in turn funding research and
development
to come out with new drugs that they can
make a huge profit on in the united
states
and then make less of a profit in other
countries in the rest of the world
so let that sink in a little bit
pretty wild pretty wild that drugs that
are
created in our country are more
expensive for our people
than people in other countries
that’s where we live in you know one
thing i’ve learned
in life is if [ __ ] doesn’t make sense
start breaking it down to how the money
flows
and then it starts to make sense that’s
about it guys hope i didn’t get you too
fired up but that’s the reality of the
situation i hope it makes sense that
basically
americans are getting screwed but if you

well and you guys want to see more i’ll

Pregnenolone – The Mother Hormone – Low Pregnenolone May Cause a Hormone Imbalance

https://youtube.com/watch?v=YVzBFyeHhl8

what’s going on guys test your levels
here thanks for being with me
thanks for supporting the channel today
we’re going to talk about a super
important hormone that i
rarely ever see even mention in forums
and groups
it’s pregnant alone and it’s like the
mother of hormones
it’s at the top of the list and it’s
really important
uh you can get it over the counter from
amazon but
you may not even need it so let’s do a
quick medical disclaimer and jump right
in
it’s all about humanity
[Music]
as i said pregnant alone is a super
important hormone it was first
synthesized in 1934
it’s directly made in your body from
cholesterol
the average male should have a range of
pregnant alone from about
10 to 200 nanograms per deciliter
now they have all the sciency stuff out
of the way so pregnant alone like i said
it’s at the top so if you looked at like
a chart from the top
down of hormones in your body
pregnenolone’s like right up there at
the top
and basically pregnenolone converts into
all the other hormones
estrogen testosterone dhea it’s it
it’s basically like the building block
so
if you’re making hamburgers pregnant
owns the ground beef that’s the base
the bun the ketchup the cheese all that
that’s down below
if you don’t have ground beef you don’t
have a burger so that’s where pregnant
alone stands
pregnant alone is mainly made in your
adrenal glands in your brain
but it’s also made in your skin your
liver
your boys and some of it’s even made in
your eyes
so that’s pretty weird it’s got a little
hormone that’s being made in your eyes
so pregnant alone along with
testosterone
it decreases as you age and some people
are deficient in it
and since it’s at the top of the you
know hormone
whatever if you have low pregnenolone
there’s a very high chance that you’re
low in
most all of your other hormones another
thing to take note of
is if you have really low cholesterol
there’s a possibility that you may have
low pregnenolone levels because
cholesterol is what is used in the body
to make pregnenolone
so just a little snippet from the study
basically said that if you’re low in
pregnant alone
you know it basically causes a hormone
imbalance in your body
now for us guys on trt you know
testosterone obviously
super important uh super important
hormone in our bodies
but you know if one hormone’s off or one
hormone is low or one’s too high
that can cause issues and so you may be
low in pregnant alone
but you’re okay with testosterone but
you’re not feeling 100 percent
you know i mean crazy things happen if
your cortisol levels are too high or
you’re too low
your dht is too low you know it just
causes issues there’s a hormone
imbalance and if you have low pregnant
alone there’s a possibility you have
other hormones that are low in your body
and you might not be feeling as good as
you possibly could on trt
so outside of just making other hormones
pregnant alone does
all kinds of good stuff for your brain
and produces hormones for your brain
i’m not gonna get into all that sciency
stuff we’re looking at this as a ten
thousand foot view
so long story short if you have low
pregnant alone you know that may be
contributing some brain fog
tired you know being lethargic maybe
contributing to anxiety and depression i
don’t know you have to talk to your
doctor about this
but this is something that you should
definitely add on to your blood work
when you go talk to your doctor
because if all your other hormones are
good but this one’s super low
you know you can run into some issues as
i was saying before
pregnant alone it you get less of it and
your body makes less of it as you age
some doctors have said about sixty
percent so
if you had a hundred percent and you’re
down 60 you’re at 40 percent
uh they’ve linked low pregnant alone to
uh anxiety depression
mood um you know brain fog so it’s a
really important hormone and it’s one
that i really don’t see mentioned
almost anywhere except for on this
channel because you guys are smart and
you’re subscribed to me
you get to learn stuff like this and so
you can take charge of your health care
and know what the heck you’re doing
so uh if your doctor isn’t that good at
least you know you are
researching of length pregnenolone
deficiency in older adults to depression
anxiety
cognitive deficits and mental illness
has been linked to memory problems
fatigue low energy low mood so they
started doing a lot of research
on pregnant alone in the 40s they were
doing research on cortisol
and pregnant alone and long story short
cortisol started to make more money
while pregnenolone was very cheap
so if you could take a guess which one
did they do more studies on
cortisol so there hasn’t been a huge
amount of studies with pregnenolone
which is crazy to me considered like the
mother of all hormones and it cascades
down into all the other hormones it’s
just wild but
hey if it doesn’t make dollars it
doesn’t make sense and we all know that
big pharma is all about money and
medicine’s all about money
so it doesn’t surprise me at all so i’ll
run through some of the other symptoms
of low pregnenolone
and then i’ll jump into supplementing
and why it may not even make sense for
you
but we’ll get into that so some symptoms
of low pregnant alone
poor memory declining concentration and
attention fatigue
dry skin joint and muscle pain and
decreased sex drive
so a lot of you guys that you know
complain about not having libido even
though while you’re being on trt
uh this may be something to look into so
now let’s get into
supplementation and pregnenolone and
another mother hormone dha
you can get them on amazon i’ll have
links to them but
before you click on that link and go buy
either one of those
if you have good levels of either of
these
taking more of it isn’t going to do
anything not going to do anything for
you
so don’t waste your money but you need
to go to your doctor and the next time
you get blood work
ask for pregnant alone and dhea now if
you’re deficient in either of them
it’s a real easy solution hop on amazon
couple clicks
you get your bottle and you start taking
it and you see how you feel
but like i said if you don’t have a
deficiency in it
it’s not going to do anything trust me i
watched a documentary before i started
trt
and this jacked old doctor was taking
dhea and testosterone
so being the brilliant person that i am
i went on amazon and bought a bottle
started taking it didn’t do a thing for
me when i started trt and got my first
blood work
my dhea was almost double what it was
supposed to be and it provided no
benefit
so i wasted like 15 20 bucks so don’t be
like me
so when supplementing with pregnenolone
people usually take it in the morning to
help with cognitive function
and memory and all that good stuff
during the day while you’re at work so
you’re in tip-top shape and you can go
for that raise
but oral is the best way to take it
that’s the way most people are gonna
do it but it’s on amazon it’s cheap so
and it’s that’s the best way so hey why
not
and something to note it may take three
or four months before you feel or see
any difference when you’re supplementing
with pregnant alone
the same thing i tell guys that just
start trt in two weeks they’re wondering
why they don’t feel great
well the body just because you take
pregnant alone for a day or two your
body’s not like uh okay we’re good now
everything’s balanced perfectly no it
takes time you know
slowly build up the pregnant loan then
that slowly cascades to the other
hormones
and then they kind of level out and
level out
and maybe after three or four months
it’ll help you feel better
so that’s about it guys i just wanted to
put this online
down it’ll get that many views but it’s
something that i don’t see
talked about very much at all and i feel
like there’s a lot of guys that
maybe are having a hard time getting
dialed in because they have low
pregnenolone
and also dhea so it’s worth getting the
blood test to see what’s going on in
your body and see if you’re deficient in
this
because it’s a really easy fix if you
are so guys thanks for watching

New Study! SubQ Vs IM for TRT! Higher Total Testosterone, Lower Estrogen, Lower Hematocrit!

In a first of its kind study, the University of California compared SubQ to IM shots for men on TRT. The results are very interesting!

https://youtube.com/watch?v=p58F7M2RDa0

what’s going on guys tester levels here
thanks for being here
uh today i wanted to bring this to you i
found a really cool study
uh where they did sub q versus im and
they measured
uh testosterone estrogen hematocrit and
psa
and the results might be a little
shocking so do a quick medical
disclaimer and we’ll jump right in
it’s all about humanity
[Music]
so the university of california wanted
to do a study
on sub q versus im and test a few key
parameters that most guys would look at
on trt
and see which one was better see which
one just see what happens
so they took 232 guys and they split
them into two groups and they did the
normal study stuff
and they gave one subcutaneous and one
im
and the results are pretty interesting
it’s uh
well let’s jump into them for
intramuscular these guys averaged out at
536 total tests
while the subcutaneous group was at 552.
for hematocrit the intramuscular was
48.4
and the subcutaneous was 46.3
estrogen this one’s really interesting
the in guys
averaged out at 46.6 and the sub q guys
33.3 what’s really interesting about
this
is we know that a lot of the aromatase
enzyme
it chills in fat so one would think that
if you injected testosterone into fat
where there’s more aromatase in there
that
it would convert over to estrogen a lot
more and this study
showed at least in these 232 guys that
it actually converted less
for whatever reason i have no idea why
but for whatever reason it aromatized
less and gave these guys lower estrogen
levels
the other marker that they checked for
was psa which has to do with your
prostate
uh it didn’t go up in either of these
groups so that’s good to see
they checked them out at six weeks and
12 weeks of treatment and in those 12
weeks
none of these guys psa went up at least
a measurable amount
so that’s good to know because one of
the things that they talk about on one
of the risks of trt is prostate issues
but
it’s starting to look less and less like
that’s really an issue
but we’ll keep an eye on it and see what
the data reveals in
a few years it’s really interesting that
the guys that were doing sub q
had 14 percent higher total testosterone
than the guys doing im
and they gave him the exact same dose
and that’s really interesting i mean a
14
boost that’s that’s a good amount and
then with hematocrit
this says 41 difference i don’t
understand how they got that number
um but it was 48 something versus 46.
so lower hematocrit and you can’t argue
with lower hematocrit
you know mata gets too high there are
some issues that can happen even though
most of the newer studies have shown
that elevated hematocrit just due to
being on trt
as opposed to lifestyle doesn’t seem to
have as many negative effects
i think the most interesting out of all
of these was the estrogen
the guys on subcu had 26 percent less
estrogen
that’s amazing what was the number it
was
46.6 to 33.
i mean that’s uh it was a 13 point
difference that’s pretty wild
i mean just from the way that the
testosterone is administered into fat
over muscle
so that’s pretty interesting so if
you’re on if you’re doing im
and you’re having issues with estrogen i
mean it may just be as easy as switching
to an insulin pen
insulin pen yeah insulin pen and
injecting into fat over muscle
the other benefit of this in doing sub q
and i’ve preached sub q for a long time
because it’s my personal favorite method
is that you don’t have to continuously
stab your muscles which can cause
scarring over time
and if you’re going to be on trt for a
long time you’re going to be hitting
your muscles a lot
you know you can always switch spots and
rotate and this and that but
at the end of the day you’re still
poking a hole in one of your muscles so
that’s just really
really interesting and i’m glad that
they did this study and i know what
you’re saying
sub q doesn’t work for me i don’t feel
as good on sub q
you know i get the nodules here and
there and i get it some q
does not work for everyone but i’m
really happy to see that there is data
supporting
that sub q works well if not better than
i
am because before this the only real
studies we’ve had on
sub q and not even against im was for
females that were transitioning into men
and they just wanted to see
hey does sub q work to get their
testosterone levels up
and in that study it did and it’s really
cool to see that
you know in some situations sub-q may
give you higher total test levels
i really wish they had done free tests
as well but
they didn’t but my blood work shows
almost exactly the same as i am
so for me it’s pretty much equal
but for some men it may be higher total
and
lower estrogen and lower hematocrit so
that’s really cool to see
so if you’re doing sub q and you like it
well this may be the preferred method
they even went on to say subq is an
effective testosterone delivery system
with a preferable safety profile over im
because when you’re when you’re
injecting into fat there’s not really
anything you can hit
it’s just that it’s just it’s all fat
you don’t have to worry about you know
your femoral arteries you don’t have to
worry about uh blood vessels veins you
don’t have to worry about any of that
stuff because it’s just fat
so really hard to mess it up that’s
going to wrap it up guys
quick little video really cool study out
of the university of california
and uh it shows that sub-q works and it
may work better than i am
so if you’re tired of uh you know
hitting your delts your glutes and your
quads
you could get some 25 or 27 gauge 27
gauge is my personal favorite
half inch maybe belly fat butt fat
and love handles if you got them so hey
if you’re uh if you’re doing i am and
you want to give sub q a try
at least you know according to the study
of 232 men
it may be better than i am and for me
personally it’s so much easier
very easy so that’s going to do it guys
hope you found that interesting if you
did
drop a comment let me know what you
think i mean have you done sub-q do you
like it
have you tried it and gone back to im
but let me know let me know what you do
i
am her sub q but as always guys thanks

Test and Deca for TRT, Month 1 Benefits | Adding Nandrolone Decanoate / Deca to TRT Protocol

Nandrolone Decanoate, also known as Deca or Deca Durobolin is a powerful compound that had many medical benefits. Nandrolone Decanoate has been used for years in the bodybuilding community, but has also found uses in testosterone replacement therapy. Deca is mainly used in TRT and men’s health to help lubricate the joints and offer pain relief for men who work out our who just bad joints. This video highlight the first month of me taking Deca and the benefits I received.

https://youtube.com/watch?v=pPWDmVbeVtg

what’s going on guys tester levels here
today i’m gonna give you a quick
update on a little experiment that i’m
doing um i appreciate you guys being
here thank you for supporting the
channel
we’re gonna run a quick medical
disclaimer and then we’ll jump right in
it’s all about humanity
[Music]
as so you know i started a little
experiment where i added something else
onto my trt protocol
and right now i’m basically trying to
get 30 seconds into the video because
that’s where youtube actually looks to
see if your video is demonetized
if you put something in the first 30
seconds that an advertiser might
not like that they demonetize your video
so i think we’re past there
so anyway guys i started taking
mandalone to cano weight or deca or deca
droblin
whatever you want to call it i’m taking
it 100 milligrams a week
and i’m taking 100 milligrams a week in
order to help my shoulders my shoulders
are banged up
dislocated this one like five times and
i’ve messed this one up a few times and
funny enough this one’s the one that’s
giving me the trouble lately but anyway
so a lot of guys commented on my first
video the one weekend saying you need to
jump it up to 200
gotta jump it up to 200 that’s where
you’re going to feel the benefits
i feel you i feel you trust me i do and
i may just do that
but i want to at least give it two
months at 100 milligrams to see if i get
the benefits from a lower dosage
remember sometimes more is not better so
i’m going to see if i can get away i can
get the benefits that i want from it
with 100 milligrams it’ll a save me on
deca
and b i’ll be taking less side effect
wise
i’ve had zero negative side effects from
taking 100 milligrams per week
not a single one i broke out but i broke
out before i even started this
experiment
if i’ve said this before on my channel
usually in my opinion
the acne that you see was caused by
something about a month ago so i’m
working on resolving that
it’s getting better but i’ve had no
negative side effects i don’t feel any
worse
i if not and if nothing else i feel
i feel the same but there’s one one
thing where i’ve noticed a huge change
and that is my libido my libido has gone
through the freaking roof
it’s been almost annoying at times and
even even the old ladies getting a
little annoyed but i don’t care i’ll
persevere
because i will get this but that’s
something that i’ve definitely noticed a
change in
i haven’t changed anything else about my
protocol still 200
twice a week but yeah that’s the biggest
change that i’ve noticed
now gains wise um obviously people don’t
just take
deca to you know help with their joints
they take it because it’s an anabolic
compound
you know it’s it’s in like it’s the top
part of the fame of the
testosterone family tree you got you
know that you got mandalore
you got testosterone and you got dht
so gains wise it’s only been a month i’m
on a lower dosage
but i’ve definitely felt stronger in the
gym i
just on you know machines where i know
what weight i’m usually doing
i’m usually jumping up like one plate
and i can do about the same amount of
reps as i was doing about a month ago
so i’ve definitely noticed a difference
there now i haven’t
i haven’t really bloated out or put on
really a lot of water weight
i mean i know some of you guys that
still think i’m fat would argue
otherwise but
i’ve actually lost weight this month
i’ve went from about 2 15 to 2

  1. now i did clean up my diet a little
    bit i really don’t attribute that to
    deca
    but i definitely got a little stronger
    and i i feel like i
    feel like i’m leaning up a little bit
    not as much as i need to
    but i definitely feel like i’m leaning
    up maybe deck is helping maybe it’s not
    so how do my shoulders feel do they feel
    better than week one
    they do uh not as much i mean i know
    week one may have been a placebo effect
    i also took a week off before the gym
    before that so they may have healed a
    little bit
    um but what would i say i’d say they’re
    probably
    10 to 15 percent better than on week one
    i mean i still feel them
    uh but it’s not as much now i’m really
    looking forward to hopefully in the next
    month
    uh seeing if it really starts to
    alleviate my shoulder issues
    if not i may jump it up to 150 a week if
    that doesn’t work i may jump it up to
    200.
    that’s probably as high as i would
    personally go i don’t think
    you know sometimes even with something
    like deca that’s known to help out your
    joints a lot and it does for a lot of
    guys
    you know sometimes just i mean this
    one’s just injured you know i’ve
    dislocated it a couple different ways so
    all those tendons are
    stretched out and you know everything’s
    probably not lined up the way it’s
    supposed to be
    also pop my collarbones out of place
    doing shrugs that was really weird thing
    that’s for a whole nother video
    but if i get up to 200 and it’s not
    changing my shoulders still
    hurt a little bit just have to accept
    that that’s the way it is
    that’s you know sometimes your body just
    gets jacked up
    you know if you have if you’re in a
    massive car accident your back’s all
    tore up and you can barely walk
    just because you’re taking deca isn’t
    going to mean you’ll be sprinting around
    the house or running at the track it’s
    just not the way it is
    hopefully in the next month you know my
    shoulders feel a lot better
    and like i said i can feel it i’m still
    able to work out in the gym it’s just
    i’m not working out at the gym
    completely pain-free i mean i’m powering
    through it
    but i do feel it so hopefully that
    alleviates a little bit
    i’m still gonna work out in the gym i’m
    just gonna have to you know put up with
    the pain that’s just the way it is
    that’s life
    life sucks sometimes but that’s all you
    can do
    i also want to mention that two of the
    clinics that i have discount codes for
    do prescribe mandalore to can await now
    they’re not just going to give it to you
    like candy because you asked them but if
    there is a medical reason
    and they steam that it’s maybe a good
    treatment for you they do prescribe it
    that’s the phi and matrix and i have
    links to both of them
    in my description defy offers 100
    off your initial consultation and matrix
    offers 200
    off your initial consultation they’re
    both great clinics
    uh they do offer a lot of different
    treatments i think they’re both really
    really good
    i actually started out with defy as some
    as you know and now i’m with concierge
    doctor
    but anyway that’s about it guys just
