One man’s opinion on these short teaser vids: annoying as hell.
Thanks so much, Chris for getting Dr Huberman on your exceptional podcast. I can't wait to view the entire episode and i am eager to share!. :)
Worry about phthalates first.
I appreciate the shoutout guys! Looking forward to the rest of the podcast.

Thank you for hosting me Chris. I misspoke on Nolvadex- it’s not an aromatase inhibitor; apologies. Other aromatase inhibitors were described correctly.
A pleasure mate 👊
Would love to see all 3 of you on a single podcast , much love
Dr Huberman. My heart swells with gratitude and appreciation for all your work and outstanding teachings. You are wholly inspiring and I've learned so much from you. An ocean depths worth of love and respect.

get your Nolvadex straight
Derek simply used the internet as his tool of education to the utmost utilization. His channel has given me insights into endochrinology in a simple, but entertaining way, plus his delts are hard to look away
He’s on steroids! Don’t give him attention
Ur a gaylord
He took Victor Blacks' paid content and put it on TH-cam. literally.
My ass, I dont have a clue who victor black is but Ive been doing the same research using the same resources (Pubmed etC) for almost 20 years now.
he actually used the internet for the best and well intended purpose unlike most of us haha
I cannot express enough how much I value the information and Dr Huberman shares on a weekly basis. It really is incredible. He's an amazing teacher and I think an even better human being.
Just discovered him, I know his content will change me for the better I’m sure!
@@ht8083 Wise elephants eat each others excrements.....
He's wrong, A LOT! So do your research...
@@mrrooster4876 Thanks Mr Rooster! Maybe you should start your own podcast to refute all his "wrongs". Take care.
@@mrrooster4876 let's see your research then
This cinematography is absolutely gold. But a platinum shoutout to the setting as well. Really hoping for more or of this well structured format.
Its almost distracting its that good!
For real! I saved this to my video inspo for future interviews I film
??? what cinematography - it is all just static shots of people talking on mics. Pretty much the barest of basics - wide shot followed by cut in to presenters.
Insane quality here mate, information and production 👏🏼
Thank you brotha. Big love
I wonder if Derek will react to this reaction. Love it when it get all inception with the vids.
Holy crap. You nailed the lighting and look of the podcast studio. Bravo. Andrew is such a gem, too.
It struck me right as I saw it. Really well done
Don’t use the term Holy in that disgusting satanic way.
Accept Jesus and you will be saved. Jesus is real, He lives and died for our sins. Repent. Be free. He Returns.

I was tired all the time and got my levels checked thanks to Derek and I'm feeling back to normal.
Did you have do anything to get your levels back to normal?
yea i wanna know too
Yeah man, simply just checking is not going to have an effect on the metric. Don't leave people hanging
I’m almost 40 and trt changed my life out of depression. Doctors just said I have major depression disorder and left it at that even though I had a lot of testosterone related symptoms. Eventually a doctor ran test and saw they were at the bare minimum for normal range. We found my body likes 20mg cyp with diabetes syringes every three days and I don’t get high estrogen. My dose is lower than most people per month but if I go higher it converts to estrogen so this level is perfect. Been a few years and my mood is so much better along with my energy, sex drive and all.
That's nice to hear, i wish you graceful aging buddy.
Congrats dude! Long may your hard one continue 🎉
Trt is great and all BUT I think maybe there's a case for trying all the natural methods for test boosting first.
Fan of Derek here, Andrew is a very well spoken guy, I like how respectful he is to his peers and find him genuinely interesting. Good podcast Chris
Of course he is well spoken. The guy is a neuroscientist and has one of the most famous science podcasts in the world.

Doubt it.
@@uuzoo doubt what?
@@Dr.Vincent_D_Gilmer anything you say.
@@subramag why?
I find that many bodybuilders and CrossFit people know more about diet and weight loss/gain than most dietitians do.
It’s so true, before I came across Derek’s content, I didn’t care about optimizing hormone levels at all.
*and this is why i love watching Sir Huberman's podcasts on TH-cam🙇🏾♀️🙏🏾💥💫. Knowledge, broken down to make sense to regular folks. I view our body like a vehicle, if we drive it around, not addressing the engine light, throwing water in the gas tank, not changing discpads when we hear the loud screech etc, our car is going to be run down pretty quickly. I see Andrew like a mechanic, giving us insight on not just the pretty shell we see/have, but the knowledge of a spark plug, fuse, engine block, piston, under the hood. We need to know more than just how to 'drive' our bodies. We need to understand the fundamentals and how to maintain it, and when to go into the dealership 🙏🏾. THANK YOU ANDREW, AND WE APPRECIATE YOUR PASSION OF DISSEMINATING YOUR KNOWLEDGE TO US*
well said
dayum, the podcasts these went from 'Done inside your room" to an actual 'Interview' level. Great quality!
This was awesome. Always love a good Huberman dialogue. It’s not just the knowledge - but the enthusiasm!
It's a blessing having so many people in existence today that are relaying health related information in such a digestible form. I'm currently in the healthiest mental and physical health of my life thanks to all these people. I've also been able to help others in my life reach a healthier state as well. I am truly grateful!
Randomly came across this channel today. Just want to say, the setting for this pod is absolutely refreshing… a beautiful table in a large room and nothing more. Brilliant. I enjoy this much more than neon signs and a big elaborate set design.
You're enamored because its different. There is a science to it with pros and cons.
i used testosterone from age 20 until 30. Got a massive liver tumour, removed at age 31. 16 cm, 2.2 kg (5 lbs tumour)
The liver has lots of androgen receptors too, a lot of bodybuilders get tumours there. This is something no one talks about. Be careful.
Did your liver recuperate fully, since it's the only organ that grows back?
Blasting or replacement doses?
@@chrisphippen6685 yes, but the resection and recovery almost killed me. My liver function was fine throughout, just grew tumours.
crusiing with occasional blast.
Liver function was fine, regular bloods. But ended up growing huge tumours.
Wow, 16cm tumor? I’m guessing it wasn’t the Hepatocelular Carcinoma.
Benign tumors like FNH and Adenomas can also grow exponentially with AAS.
I had my testosterone tested in 2018 when I was 42, it was low 300s. My sex drive was cool, just was looking for a little boost. The doc recommended TRT, I passed. I researched supps to take to naturally increase it.
Tested it in 2022, 890!! Im 46 now. My sex drive is strong, but too much for my wife’s speed. I’m gonna adjust my routine a bit. I wish I had tested it every 6 months to see when and how it incrementally climbed.
Here’s what I took based on my research, do yours before you go forward.
L-Carnitine
L-Arginine
Pycnogenol
Iron
Zinc
Magnesium
Calcium
I increased my effort during exercise adding more cardio
Those are supplements you took that helped raise your testosterone? Can you state doses you took, times, how often
Very cool and hugely interesting to hear. I found Derek only a little over a year ago and found learning about hormones, hair recovery method and all Derek shares very interesting. Keep up the great work!
Been following since 19k subs and there is no one I’m more happy about blowing up
Can we stop vilifying Finasteride? I avoided it for years cuz of all the fear mongering but finally decided to give it a chance after minoxidil starred losing its effectiveness. I'm almost back to a full head of hair now with no side effects. Only a small percentage of men have serious side effects. Even Derick highly recommends it. If you're worried get some blood work done first. Derick has a video explaining which kind to get.
Interesting. So the blood work would show if you'll have side effects? Also, I think there's localized injectable finasteride available now. I might have heard about it on Huberman's show. It apparently has much less side effects if any.
@@atlskyline1 Dutasteride injections are mentioned in Huberman Lab, episode 67.
I personally am one of the people who have had bad emotional side effects from finasteride. I'd still be cautious about it
@@atlskyline1 There's been reports of sexual side effects that don't go away when use is discontinued. Derek claimed that only happens to people who's hormonal balance was already on the verge of collapsing and using Finasteride would just push them over that edge and getting some blood work done before hand can it make clear if you're one of those people who might have that type of reaction from Finasteride.
@@atlskyline1 Is this available country-wide? Might have to inquire ab this w my dermatologist. I’ve been on fin for ab 6 months and no sides at all but always open to better avenues
Informative! I'm 55Y and have maintained my training schedule for 30y (jogging, lifting, swimming ). My sports is where I deteriorated.
If you get blood drawn and your Testosterone level is low, you could have a renaissance of youth by getting on a replacement dose.
Its interesting also how the medical views differs. Sweden are quite restrictive. So much that women who have issues due to hormones are considered ”normal” in Sweden but considered ”not normal” and get treatment in Finland.
Getting treatment for endometriosis have alse been very hard in Sweden while its much easier to be diagnosed and treated in Great Britain.
Same goes for certain vitamins. Like vitamin d for children. In Norway the advice supplementing children for longer than Sweden.
I assume this goes for other countries also, some being more restrictive on certain things than others.
Another reason why blindly following scientists and their recommendations is flawed. 'consensus' is different place to place
Love this and massively respect Dr. Huberman. Minor note - medications prescribed to treat hair loss (e.g. Finasteride) inhibit the 5-alpha-reduction (an enzyme produced in the body) of testosterone into DHT, rather than blocking the DHT receptors directly. Great clip.
Yeh I think he knows that just wasn't trying to get too deep into the one aspect.
Btw, it's 5-Alpha Reductase not reduction lol
@@Flash363 reductase is the noun describing the enzyme, reduction is the verb describing the action the enzyme performs. So you are erroneously pointing out a misnomer that isn't there.
@@tsaryeyed8293 you're right, I stand corrected King 🤴🏻🙌🏼
@@tsaryeyed8293 You gotta be on top of what Huberman says and never trust blindly what is being said, at least that is my experience.
Great production quality chris
I wish I listened in school like I do with huberman. Makes me want to learn more.
That's the problem with school ,aka indoctrination camp. They are just tryin to brainwash you lies an bullshit an false history. Dr huberman speaks the truth an wr can never get enough of that!!
School wasn't as interesting and engaging as Huberman.....Not your fault
@@CitizenoftheWorld1 yeah plus I didn’t know I had add. Dyslexic. Anxiety. PTSD. All this crap til I was 25. Sucks I can’t go back.
@@jdgatlin8813 what helped you?
Excellent breakdown on hormones and treatment, thank you for your input and uploading material that actually helps 👍
You are good at teasing and creating interest! Can't wait to see you and my favorite human (Huberman) in action
i've done TRT mostly because it makes lifting less painful. elbows and shoulders mostly. It has strength benefits obviously but it does NOT provide permament hypertrophy on its own. Lifting and eating a lot still does that more than test. You will go up in weight during the cycle but good luck keeping that post cycle unless you eat and train like crazy. I appreciate Derek's contribution to the general knowledge about this topic
Can you clarify pls. Lifting and overeating hypertrophys the nads? Lifting, really?
thats the thing about trt, if you do it without lifting, you gain muscle, but loose this again if stopping, right? But if gaining muscle with lifting (and or without trt or testosterone) then the muscle get bigger and kind of stay there more permanently or least they easier come back if starting training later without trt or test, right?
In addition to the information, I really like the look of Chris’s episodes…the way they are filmed, the lighting, the editing.
So many good podcasts coming out. First Jeff Cavaliere on Huberman's channel, and now this!
Cavaliere is a joke to everyone in the fitness industry (anyone not a joke themselves too obviously). Only people that look up to him are the rookies. Those that don't know any better
@@dimem66 cavaliere is terrific when it comes to knowledge of biomechanics of the body but I don't trust him at everything.
I've looked at a lot of athlean x videos. Didn't know he was problematic. What are the major things that Jeff is wrong about?
@@dylanbyrne9591 he used fake weights, that's pretty much it.
@@richardzhang8312 Yeah, it’s a shame he did that. Even so, his knowledge about the technical biomechanics of exercises and the body is unparalleled on TH-cam. Watching him is fine, people just need to watch multiple knowledgeable TH-camrs when looking for information. Athlean-X, More Plates More Dates, Greg Doucette, Jeff Nippard, Sean Nealwonji (no clue how to spell the last name), etc.
Derek and Andrew Huberman changed my life! After cycles of gear on and off for years, my body started breaking down in my 40s. I was on the path to TRT. Then I found MPMD and Dr. Huberman. I researched hormones for about a year and changed my lifestyle soon after. I have the blood work to prove it. I doubled my testosterone in 8 months naturally. Not sure of the long term effects of the supplements I now cycle but so far so good. Thanks!
Can you point to me videos from him on that? I’m still young but it’s interesting!
@@adamsiari8858 th-cam.com/video/LiF8M52wyy4/w-d-xo.html
Hows your free T levels?
@@mattmason4589 I tested 4x over the eight months. My free testosterone was always acceptable according to my doctor. When things are "fine" he usually doesn't give me the number. However, doctors usually think low numbers are "fine" even when they're not. My sexual function is improving so my FT should be alright now but I think it was low when I first tested.
So how did you do it (doubled the T) and how did it affected you?
Get Derek on the pod!
Loving the space that this was shot in Chris, really neat location!
I appreciate the shoutout guys! Looking forward to eating my medjool dates!
Derek knows more than most doctors. It’s concerning, most don’t practice continual education, nor give a crap they cheat their way through med school. It’s a bell curve and hard to find a good doctor.
Doctors these days only know how to prescribe meds to alleviate symptoms. They dont know any science to fix problems.
I’m in med school right now, and you couldn’t be more correct. Literally 90% of the people I know in school are cheating.
Maybe a general practitioner I doubt he knows more than an endocrinologist. Maybe when it comes to bodybuilding drugs which are not used for humans in medicine.
@@AdamMc192 @Naveed A
Adam you'd be surprised Derek goes over these prescriptions these "Well Educated" endocrinologists have written.
I've taken a look as well. It's hard to believe some of these people have a license, I'm convinced most cheat their way through school. I've picked the brains of several doctors and realized Most (not all) are idiots, can you blame them 8 years of school and a residency, you would have to REALLY love what you're doing to give a crap that long, and not forget about the oath and want to party the second they get their first paycheck. People wonder why they have problems, suffering from depression etc., when you look at the prescription. Vwalla
Most of these doctors are just Glorified Big Pharma Reps.
Andrew is definitely hiding behind the Stanford Name on this one.
Chris why would Andrew be brought this topic a Neuroscientist and Admitted "I'm not an endocrinologist - Talk to your doctor" it's clear how hesitant he goes through the distant study he's read he has no F-ing clue what's going on about this topic.
@@IPetGhost disagree, doctors are some of the most highly trained professionals out there. A medical degree program is not some mickey mouse degree. Not to mention the lifelong learning. A consultant endocrinologist is definitely going to be more knowledgeable than derek.
I discovered Derek a few years ago I think he's incredibly knowledgeable.
Derek is a blessing. Plain and Simple.
Dr Mike Israetel also advice against any enhancement before 25 years old and after at least 10 years of serious lifting.
Mike Israetel >>>> MPMD unless you want 10 parts drama for every part science.
@@BrocKelley what drama?
@@midnight816 How's the Turk woring?
I would do it instantly if someone has really bad depression and low test.
@@BrocKelley thanks. Mpmd doesn’t even have a degree, just dryly reads study extracts, I can do that myself.
Give me PHD dr Mine please.
top content. derek and dr huberman are two of my favs. keep it up bro!
I was doing this back when we only had message boards to talk on. guys like Derek Greg ducette and Joe Rogan to name a few popular ones have done such a nice job and helping eliminate these bro suggestion/advise sort of conversations. People are being much smarter as a result.
Andrew is a blessing
Great audio design lol. Love to see it get better!!
Cant wait for the 40 min video from the delt lord.
My bad its 52 mins.
Honestly, I prefer to do my own research. Too many people listen to others instead of learning themselves. I'm 57 years old, and been studying nutrition, training, and pharmaceutical side for over 35 yrs. I am a former bodybuilder and powerlifter. I rarely listen to others. Sometimes I'll pick someone's brain if I know they have a lot of knowledge in those fields. It's nice to share notes.
Don't forget what estrogen does for joint health! My elbows learned the hard way when I was bro-sciencing and tanking my estrogen with arimidex. Joints practically turned to dust!
I think that channels such as MPMD have changed the discourse around the significance of testosterone and estrogen, how they function in our bodies, and the legitimate outcomes (good or bad) of augmenting their levels.
I believe this speaks to the relevance of free speech towards exploration of new areas of knowledge and the importance of scientific rigour, as opposed to damning, or exalting certain practices based on emotional or subjective experiences.
I don’t take steroids, but I have found Deryk’s videos to be informative and balanced. As an addictions counsellor, I like to take the same stance with all drugs.
How do drugs benefit us? How do they harm us? What is it that has made my client decide that the drug has caused them more harm than good? How can I go deeper into informing my client of the pros and cons of said drug? How do they move forward, in the way that works best for them, whether that is abstinence, harm reduction, maintenance, etc…
I find it best to be honest with my clients and not judge them for their choices. All I do is inform, from the science that I know, act as a mirror, and help direct a client where they want to go.
I remember seeing the old drug commercials and thinking “these guys are so full of shit” and they were. This led me to underestimate the ill effects of illicit drugs because I did not believe the propaganda. Luckily I studied actual science on drugs that got me out of many of my addictions. Yes, I still struggle with addictions. Sugar, social media, and work addiction are things that I still struggle with.
crazy how many layers there are on this guy. Started the podcast for his neuro stuff, never would've guessed he's also a gym bro/skateboarder/tattoo junkie
when people find out what fun can be found in a gym, they will never leave.
It s like the mouse in the field being exposed for running wheel, you know, those in the lab for exercise for rats and mouse?! Huberman talked about how much fun wild rodents had with such one being put in a field. That s the kind of fun Im able to have in my gym. Love it.
Great discussion of the complexity from hube. Agree that rogan discussing TRT opened up a lot of important discussions - I've been talking about it in my classes for like 5 years.
What place do you recommend going to for TRT?
We are lucky Derek decided to talk to everyone openly
its seems like people in labs with their textbooks are never making the breakthroughs, its people like derek and kneesovertoesguy doing what the textbooks don't say to do and actually getting real results in the real world. and the people with the textbooks eventually can't deny what's taking place in the real world. academia has its place but we give them waaaaay too much credit as gatekeepers of information and knowledge
Derek is not making breakthroughs at all dude. He is regurgitating information that was already out there and published.
I’m going to use that line: “I’m just taking testosterone for a book I’m writing” 😂
Its not the first time. And others, like Freud, have done a lot worse.
@✪Hidden haha gotta love norm
In the UK they now give TRT 'Neibedo' in a 1,000 mg injection every ten to twelve weeks. I have spoken to my endocrinologist about lower doses more frequently but they just don't do it. Apart from some people are still given Sustanon but still with two week or more intervals.
Nolvadex is a Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulator and not an Aromatase Inhibitor
Serm blocks estrogens action at the receptor, ai blocks the conversion of testosterone to estrogen
Correct. And apologies; I misspoke and corrected above in the comments.
I believe this type of dialogue transcends hormones, sports or even physiology. Being honest about what drives society in general, whether it be for short-term ego purposes or financial gain, it serves as a net-benefit for society.
dat reverb lol
The cool thing about 2022 is one doesn’t need to be a scientist to discuss science, since all the information in the world is on the internet.
I have such respect for these titans of education service
We need a Andrew and Derek
Wow!!! excellent. Thank you Chris for brining this information to light with such a great and articulate guest, Andrew HUberman. It makes the topic of hormone therapy more palatable and easy to digest. Great work!!!
We should’ve always gone to the plate tectonic level. The problem is always the same: insurance
That was amazing to watch. Made me think. Thank you.
This was a very informative video. Very good guys very good.
Handsome, intelligent, critical yet open minded men are 😌❤️
Bostin Lloyd was the actual pioneer in this conversation. RIP
Love this dude
Such a great clip, and what an incredible answer from Andrew. Also --- that face when you realize Derek's full name might be Darek Marek
There’s always gonna be dudes that’ll cycle regardless of risks, just gotta make it legal and let people legally manufacture it better with improvements. This should always be a conversation between doctors and patients and no one else.
Im 42. Trt for life. Love it. and I take gh. Im playing ice hockey with 20yr olds (no checking).
Thinking of heading down to Puerto Vallarta TRT treatment. What's your dosage?
@@Kurio71 i fluctuate. Maybe 1.4ml a week. It’s pretty fool proof. If you have side affects just donate blood. Why PV? You can get for $99/mo in the US. I’m living in Mexico now, all that stuff is so much cheaper down here (but I’m not getting lab work done anymore). In the USA I went with royal medical, and then trt nation (cheaper).

Never! Now back from whence ye came!
@@undefinedvariable8085 what?
@@colebailey What?
Wise words from huberman although he’s clearly not an expert in the pharmacology area, specifically AAS he’s over exaggerating about the ED issues but my words on this would be that kids shouldn’t take AAS unless they are extremely serious about becoming a bodybuilder and living the lifestyle. 6 meals a day no social life just the gym.
No disrespect, but the way AH worded that was perfect. Some people can be on a gram of test and four other compounds totaling up to another gram and have no issues. Others, like one of my friends, is on 200 mg of test per week and has mild ed symptoms. So it is true but to varying degrees. Then you start discussing other conpounds which is where this conversation is at and ed and managing dht becomes a real issue.
@@BigTyronieif your on only test u shouldn’t be experiencing Ed if so then your doing something wrong which is usually people taking an ai or taking another compounds like nandrolone which is notorious for Ed
2:23 "Testosterone gives you more energy to work more... if it's done appropriately"
250 mg 2x a week & nolvadex two weeks after the last dose, daily for 3-4 weeks. This is a 12 week cycle & what I’ve been doing on and off since I was 28. This is considered a low dose compared to what guys do, but I’m not familiar with TRT dosages nor have I been to a clinic. Only time I had an issue was blasting & cursing for a year and not having a PCT , it took me a year after to get my body working properly, no energy , depression, etc.. I can only imagine dudes who blast and cruise for a decade plus on 1000mg+ of test top of cycling on & off complex stacks.
My own hypogonadism journey was triggered about 10 years ago and I started learning a lot about the Gonadal axis. I've come off of TRT after 10 years (low dosage) and feel a lot better overall. Never realized how much TRT was creating inflammation in my body.
To what do you credit the inflammatory effect? Specific carrier oil, dosage, something else?
I too have been on TRT for this period and am fighting inflammation battles... I have an immune disease and have had multiple bouts with Covid.
How did you transition off of trt.? Any hcg an nolvadex or clomid to help boost your natural
@@LibertyNotLicense The cottonseed oil was causing massive inflamation in my abdomen. I didn't realize what was causing it until I stopped after a week and was able to shit like normal again. It must've been bad.
@@mattmason4589 I quit cold turkey. Taking 0.5ML(of 200mg/ml Test Cyp) per week and I said "I'm done with this." Initially I felt a lot better then I felt like crap after about a month, took some clomid to help buffer the landing.
Haven't had a blood test in a while and I frankly don't care what my levels are because I feel "normal" again and still making gains in the gym with mild supps.
I take creatine, ashwaganda, and a men's multivitamin. Changed my diet to mostly meat with some occasional fruit and veg.
@@Little.R nice job little r. Gonna try the creams. Cause i can never really dial in libido. Hopefully the extra dht boost is the ticket. An i can hang on to hair. Watched every video on the net.
"Choice between your Hair & Erection when taking DHT blockers like Finasteride" is extremely simplified to the point it looks like if you get the pill, you WILL get ED. In reality though it's such a small minority of people experiencing any sort of ED while on Finasteride it baffles me how people can even think this way and even normalize it (especially ones that know a lot about hormones).
Yr still flipping the coin. U CAN be the minority. Is keeping your hair really worth it?
@@goldengod31You're flipping a coin that has 100 edges, and only 2 of them have some sort of "ED" attached to it.
Moreover, even if you're one of the minority who gets side effects, you simply stop the drug and after about 2 weeks you go back to normal. At least you know it doesn't work for you.
There's literally nothing to lose and so much to gain.
he seemed to indicate those drugs block dht receptors . if there are indeed DHT receptors outside of a more general form of androgen receptors, I would argue the opposite that they would be upregulated because the drugs work by blocking the conversion of T to DHT by inhibiting specific enzymes. if anything one would see an increase in T.
@@damssen3234 yeah I think we need to take what andrew huberman says here with a grain of salt, he even mentioned himself he's not an endocrinologist
I believe finasteride is one of those drugs that people will look back on and say "I can't believe men were taking that poison, systemically altering their hormones." And I suspect the number who have side effects is quite high, but most men don't report it, or don't even realize it because they aren't in tune with their bodies. The best solutions will be topicals and injections that don't go systemic (mesotherapy.)
Bro drop the whole mixtape already, stop teasing!
It’s interesting how you brought up not being aware of your hormone balances. Another example of that that people seem to be completely unaware of is the gut biomes. The bacteria in your gut controls so much, it even plays a role in dopamine production. It’s so important. Add fermented foods to your diet and your body will really thank you for it.
After the fact bub. Hormone trump all that.
@@krane15 Actually your gut bacteria also affects hormones. Estrobolome is a collection of bacteria in the gut which is capable of metabolizing and modulating the body's circulating estrogen.
Marc Lobliner is the OG of TH-cam gear knowledge. He was talking about EVERYTHING before Derek was even in the scene.
But claimed natty when he wasn’t so he wasn’t reputable!!
Gotta respect Derrick… Integrity is top notch…
All this reminds me of Limitless. These high performers we watch on TH-cam who motivate us etc are all using anabolics, thyroid hormones, and stimulants.
Not quite. But it does beg the question: is testosterone a nootropic?
@@krane15 no, it’s a hormone
Why do all people argue that libido should be as high as possible? I consider my libido as too high and would wish it was somewhat lower.
In my experience at 57 years old. Micro dosing is the way to go. I strongly do not recommend Novaldex. I had extreme calf pain and felt like shit. You need estrogen. What you don't need is a massive spike of it and that's what happens when you take a 1.5 ml shot of Cypionate every week. Hence why you micro dose. Your estrogen doesn't spike.
What about prostate cancer? Do you know why prostate cancer is so common? What is needed to start prostate cancer?
I was on about 150mg a week of Test C on TRT therapy and just recently I am starting to come off. I had actual low T and my levels are around 750 ng/dl now. It helped me lose weight and work harder but I don't like the way it makes me feel. I've been feeling more lethargic, exhausted, and less motivated. Just lowering my dosage even marginally I feel much better. I'll admit I don't like how everyone acts like TRT is the one cure all. Dr Huberman was lightly touching on this but he is right not everyone on TRT should be taking it or encouraged to stay on it. TRT is a real popular cliche for men to do right now but we shouldn't overlook how eating better, sleeping better, and working out better can fix these problems without direct endocrine intervention or pharmaceutical intervention. 💯💪
So you are still on trt. Just a lower dose now?
@@mattmason4589 I couldn't just hop off despite wanting to. I stopped daily injections and made it like 6 days before I started feeling better. So now I do a 5 unit shot every 3 days until my body reequilibrates.
@@mattmason4589 My dosage was too high to just stop. 150mg a week is above average TRT but below body builder dosage.
Hey Chris. Can't wait for the Derek episode. 🤞🤟🤙
Great interview! What camera do you use? The quality is crisp.
It's the lighting that enhances the image. It's well lit so it looks pleasing to the eye
Finas blocks the conversion of T to DHT, it doesn't block the receptors. Flutamide may do that
"2:27" Is he saying "secret for Lex" as in Lex Friedman? Or am not hearing this correctly? 🤔
I've been involved with HRT for the last 25 years. I wrote for all the bodybuilding magazines and was one of the first people who wrote T replacement back around 2000 and was also the first to develop a supplement that increased free T by blocking SHBG. Today, it's a "fad" topic and everyone thinks they're an expert. And for that reason, it's difficult for the truth (or common sense) to get through. Though I would debate some minor points, I like what's being said here. It's accurate information. And that is rare these days.
Prof. Huberman, I think the actual unit/volume of hormones is only one a small part of the equation… number of receptors, receptor binding strength, the cascades and transcriptions the hormones induce all play a roll.
Comparing 2 different hormones on their concentration seems like comparing apples and pizzas
Don't compare more dates more place to doucette, more plates is much higher quality.
True, learned nothing about hormones really from doucette
Both fake doctors
Cool new studio....thats awesome
Where I live in the Netherlands I seriously doubt I could get a doctor to prescribe TRT at 50. They would tell me to lose 5kgs, get 8 hours of sleep, adjust my diet, everything in the book to have good testosterone. And then if it was still in the range they’d just say I was normal.
Love your podcast Ragnar Huberman :)
