im a 38 year old male. My relationship was starting to go down hill. No spark. I never felt like doing anything but laying on the couch. My wife actually told me to go get my levels checked( it had been 6 months sense sex). Long story short, my test level was 74( i did steroids in my early 20’s). I was placed on 200mg cypt a week. Completely changed my life. Sex drive is unbelievable, quality of life is soooo much better. Getting my levels correct made my life great again.
i went and got tested a year ago after watching your video's on the subject. level was 182. started TRT and brought my level to 450. under strict care of an endocrinologist. libido like an 18 year old. im 49. and date girls in their 20's now...I watch all your content... thank you it's been life changing...
This is eye opening I’m 46 and my doctors have said my test level is normal, and yet they’re reluctant to tell me my free test level I’d be interested to no more, and studies need to be done ✅
You have inspired me to study Biotechnology Engineer. I’m about to enter college and want to study how exogenous compounds (from medicines, drugs, steroids, everything) affect the body and make them better or even create new ones. I’m considering after studying making a degree specific to PEDS and sports. Just a big thank you , I’m learning so much from your videos and enjoying them. Pd: Almost all my family are doctors, so I wanted to continue the path but my way, I’m more intro creating and developing rather than curing and diagnosing.
Thanks for all your hard work DR, and I’m glad must of the stigma is going away, everything in my life has improved, fasting blood sugar, erectile disfunción, mood, and lean muscle mass.
Hey Jose, how long have you been on TRT and were you low T before starting? My doctor is telling me that my levels are normal but I literally have every known symptom of low T.
doc another great study. 58years old been taking 200mg of test every 7-10 days over the last 4 years never had any sides or problems feel great all the time never had any illness since i started sexually its amazing its like i am 18 again, lots of muscle all over my body but i do train every day, orgazams are of the chart and for me test is the fountain of youth no doubt about it and i dont intend stopping ever.
Hi Doc! Thanks so much for all the remarkable content you’re putting out for the bodybuilding community and men in general. You often reference “microdosing” of testosterone but don’t mention specifics. I would LOVE a full episode devoted specifically to your recommendations around common or recommended frequencies, dosages, injection sites (e.g. glutes vs deltoids, as well as IM vs SubQ). I switched from test cyp once weekly doses to twice a week, where I inject every 84 hours (i.e. 3.5 days) and have noticed improvements. Still, I notice ups and downs with my libido. However, I’ve heard about using insulin needles to reduce scar tissue and injecting every other day or even daily. Would love to hear your thoughts on this since I know the TRT community has a TON of non-expert debate on this topic in community forums, videos, etc. I also appreciate everyone is different and it depends on the ongoing relationship with your doctor, but I’d love to hear from the guru himself to get an idea of baseline. Thanks ahead of time!
I'd be happy to take part in any study you do. From 27-31 I started experiencing extreme fatigue, anxiety, depression, memory issues, and a low sex drive that all but died by 31. I'm a personal trainer, very active and eat healthy. At 27 my T levels were about 380 ng/dl, taking in the morning while fasting. Every time I got it tested it went lower and lower. Doctors told me I was fine, just depressed, but finally my free T dropped to 2.9 and they started me on TRT take 100mg twice a week. It's so hard to find information about this so if I could contribute I'd be happy to.
Listening your knowledge is always amazing! I’m a great follower of you and my passion growing daily and my knowledge now is helping me to live better! Thanks again doc
I am 28 on trt through Royal medical. My start numbers were 244 total and 11 free estradiol at 19. I had depression and low sex drive even though I did not have ED. I've been on trt for 3 weeks now at 200mg a week with a al and 2 hcg shots per week I feel so so much better.
Joshua Moore that’s awesome man. I’m 25 and my test is 367 free is 49. Sent my blood work over yesterday to a doctor that has a clinic here in Chicago and I’m scheduled for a phone a call later this morning. Really hope that trt is going to fix a lot of my problems.
I’d get off the AI or be very very careful with it, estrogen is our friend and regulates heart health and sex drive. Crashing estrogen is very very bad.
Question for you, when you go into that place does the dude have to pointlessly examine your balls and other weird stuff or do they just have you blood test and ask about symptoms?
I'm 22yo, always had low T, 5 bloodwork with levels below 300. Started TRT a year ago and Ive never felt better in my life! Doses between 150-200mg a week
Hello Doctor. I am just finding your channel, and I am already chained to it. I am 47. I started to suffer ED and low T 11 years ago. Doctors never paid attention to my symptoms, and I had to really insist to discover after a test that my T was in the low, low, low range, therefore, I was considered as having normal levels, and not treated. Recently as 4 months ago, after insisting again, another doctor finally found that my T was undetectable, mostly because of stress. I went on undecanate and the effects the first month were amazing (libido, energy, muscle building). I started to exercise again also. But, I am considering to procreate, and the fertility doctor did not recommended the undeca. He put into clomiphene. the first month after the undecanate, my T level was 24 (range 11 - 34), then under clomid went to 34, and this month was 39. I must admit I was surprised, especially since I am not receiving any T injections. Also, my fertility increased from none to normal levels. (2m sample in 2019 to 24.5m last month). However, even though the levels of free testosterone (always measured in the mornings around 8 am) are high, I was able to feel how the libido, mood, and energy started to decrease. I haven't notice any effect on the muscle-building process, and I am still experiencing gains. What could the the missing factor? I will appreciate your comments. PD: after watching this amazing video, I was thinking. What about researching about the studies were T is used as contraceptive? Those are generally applied to young men with normal levels of T. I understand that the main outcome of the study will be the measurement of the sperm count, but, some of them could report on side effects (both positive and negative). Thanks Doc.
I just started trt (end of second week) here in Australia, I have a cream which when you pump it twice is dispenses 100mg of testosterone and 10mg of DHEA. My testosterone blood test said I was 11.7nmol/l 3 weeks later I was 9.1 and free testosterone was 289.4nmol/l . I will have another blood test in 4 weeks time. But I’ve notice and improvement with mood and mental clarity no more (foggy ness) My libido was dead, but slowly coming back. My local doctors said my results were fine. So glad I found someone to help me, I’m looking forward to the positive health results this will bring. Keep doing the great videos, they are soo helpful to people like myself looking to make informed decisions.
Dav Dave started with my local GP, but unhelpful. So I went to a “clinic” I prefer the idea of weekly injections as with the cream you have no idea how much has been absorbed. Guess I’ll find out after blood tests in four weeks.
This is a serious downside of test, because it's fine while you are doing the deed, but can cause hilarious post-nut syndrome when that girl your dick saw as 'moderately attractive' turns back into that ugly fucking pumpkin afterwards
@@cafécomanime I don't get when people say it makes ugly turn hot....I think it just makes you want to be around women more..not change their looks lol. Am I on to something here?
Thanks for a great video, im 54 and have been on trt for 6 years both injections and pellets the increase in sex drive is amazing i feel like im 30 again the only problem i ever had was when my doctor had me taking to much anastrozole and it crashed my estrogen, for me the low estrogen was far worse than low T i had ED that was horrible. The only thing i can say is men make sure your partner is on board because you are definitely going to want sex more frequently
doc, your videos are the best on youtube. was wondering if you can make a video once on why Leydig cells produce less t with age and if there are any technologies in the pipeline to rejuvenate them.also another idea for a video is the peptide kisspeptin 10 that can be legally prescribed in usa and might help some middle age men. also on wether low dose pde5 inhibitors such as cialis can raise t levels/libido long term wout serious side effects as middle age men are using these meds a lot... thanks thanks thanks
I'm 57, at 55 I took my first T level. It was 253, 3 weeks ago I took my next test was 205 I finally decided to go with HRT. Dr : prescribed 150 mg/ weel Cypionate....I had good energy to workouts n weights all my life. It was the zero libido that got me to commit. I hope this will help.
At 33 years old I tried 500 ml testosterone E. for 10 weeks, and I went from what I feel was a normal sex drive to a near fiend. I could not get enough sex. It was overwhelming at times if I’m honest. I was back to my normal self after pct. I have never felt better than I did those 10 weeks.
Christopher D. I put on about 15 lbs. started at 160 lbs ended at 176 lbs. I was pretty lean to start with. Not shredded, but visible abs. I would estimate 8 lbs of it was muscle. I have no way of knowing for sure. I just ate everything on site though. (Very unhealthy) I imagine that if I had maintained a healthy diet my results would have been a lot better. To that end if I had NOT been using the testosterone and ate like I did I would have just gotten fat. I got a lot stronger though. Bench press went up 50lbs! Obviously it’s probably not the best thing to do to your body, but for me personally it was the best I ever felt.
Big pharma doesn't make enough money off test. If they did you'd see tons of tests by now on normal men, chickens, frogs, electronics, auto parts, etc...
Testosterone was life changing sexually, mental health depression, positivity wise. With a previous level of 400ng/dl and want the whole world to be more open to this
Happening to me right now, had regular test level at 578, free was at very bottom of normal range. 5 weeks TRT sex drive and performance way better. Mind sharper and sleep better, didn’t even realize how bad those 2 were till now.
Hello Doc do you have any info about testosterone and osteoarthritis I got bad hips ready for hip replacement Started trt (sustanon 250) 0.5ml every 5 days Feeling much better Inflammation is almost completely gone Thank you
That's a huge cruise dose. What is your total test level at that dose ? I take 100mg a week and it elevates me to 600 to 650. I feel great ! 50yrs old too.
Can verify that micro dosing testosterone definitely improves mood, sexual desire and functionality, improves health (mental, physical, and even emotional).... highly recommend for any man over 45 years old wishing to be the man he could have been at 22....
I was one of those people who felt different after the first jab. Not amazing, but awake, and I hadn’t felt like that in years. Been on TRT for maybe nine weeks now and every week that passes I seem to feel a little better. Never had ED even with T of about 250-290 at it’s worst as I think I’m a high DHT converter. Men in my family tend to have hairy bodies and slap heads...
A good alternative might've been just using a product call d-aspartic acid and something called dim as a estrogen blocker because when u increase T levels your estrogen levels also increase and once u start doin testerone injections u end up having to do that for life d- aspartic acid would have been the more natural approach in my opinion
Already on ashwaghanda. Free androgen index was 1/10th of what it should have been. I’ve had three separate illnesses all known to permanently kill your testosterone. Mine was never going to come back without TRT...
hi doc, last year my test was at 380, now it is at 249. i am training natural for 20 years now. never took peds. interestingly, the only parameter of my bloodwork thats too low is testosterone. everything else seems to be fine. this year i started to get pain in my hands in the morning. cant make a fist for 5 minutes after waking up and i had low back pain for a week for 3 times this year now. i am feeling fatigued oftenly. what could be the cause? do you think its testosterone? i am 36 years old but i feel like 60.
31yo with Total test at 13 nmol/L (Ref range 10-35), Sex Hormone 25 nmol/L (Ref Range 13-71), Free Test 308 pmol/L (Ref Range 225-725). Doctors say its normal and nothing can be done about it, but I feel that its on the low end because I'm always tired, no motivation for much, etc. Apart from buying my own test etc, is there anything else that can be done?
"no one size fits all",,,,,,, that's what i have been telling my pcp and endocrinologist, i have all the symptoms at 53yrsold, in the past 2yrs my t levels have dropped from 500 to 460 to now 370, neither dr. will give me test, they don't even want to try it for a month just to see if i improve. i have chronic fatigue more than anything along with low libido, bad sleep, irritability, mood swings, grouchy bad attitude most of the time, no drive or motivation for anything, and i get winded real quick. getting behind on chores and things i have to do, scaled back on workouts cause i've gotten weaker and it takes about a week to fully recover. i've been to 3 different pcps and 2 endocrinologists, all of them are going by the 300ml protocols, if i had the money, i would just go to anti-aging clinics, but i don't, so, til i about fall over dead with test levels going under 300 so ins. can cover, i'm screwed.!!
Find a different doctor. Anabolic Doc on this channel does telemedicine, I'm sure bloodwork needs to be done. You could always find test e or c on your own, but I would still have bloodwork done and be open with your doctor about it. Cheers !
Hey Doc, I'm in Australia and I need help! Have years worth of results and symptoms, would love someone that actually seems like they'll listen and not judge or tell me I'm crazy
My fav TRT channel Doc. I'm 46 on Androgel 1%. Definite improved libido, have to have sex at least once a day. I'm hoping enclomiphene citrate is approved by the FDA as it's shown to be safer than Clomid
Should research something called d-aspartic acid it suppose to naturally boost your tetesterone but have to take something called dim to help control the increase in estrogen that come from naturally boosting T levels
@@ginor8416 I just started using d-aspartic acid so cant just say if it's working yet or not but it's got some promising reviews online and TH-cam about it
@@ginor8416 It say to only use for a few weeks then stop for few weeks but I did it for 5 days and taking 2 off and if u do decide to use it I recommend also something called dim which is an estrogen blocker
I’m 61 psa up and down urologist doesn’t think cancer prostrate the size of a baseball not plum next month recheck , says he will evaluate test level and will prescribe testosterone if necessary, my sex drive is zero was using test prescription for a year also type 2 diabetic working on that now is this something you can help me with?
I don't go off ever, i'm on Test for about 1 year and a half, my facial aspect has become better and thinner, physique, immune system ( even if studies shows otherwise, which i think is fucking stupid), and of course, attitude, mood improve, the thing i disagree with people who cycle test then stop is, their homonal balance and natural testosterone production will be affected, and it will deregulate their entire system, this is why i won't stop or don't intend to stop, even if after a few years people say my natural production will be impossible to be put back to normal, i don't care, withdrawing testosterone is worse than not doing in the first place, so i will always maintain a decent dosage of 400 mg/week, but i already used 500mg/week on a higher physique performance before, and my estrogen levels are also in the clear, so no acne or gyno
I have the exact same story started January 1st 2019.... my entire life has improved dramatically. My mood is as good as it's ever been. My energy and drive is through the roof and that's bled into my professional life as well. I took my QC job very seriously and took on lead man... 8 months later I was promoted to production manager. I have the drive to be great at everything I choose to take intrest in and that gives me the confidence to soundly instruct and show people what to do and why. Not to mention my physique (with never missing training and eating well with some junk here and there) has dramatically improved. People who see me who haven't in a longg time dont even recognize me and seem to be blown away. . . . . Where we differ is I use 250 mg a week
@@everythingautomotiveeta5839 it's the perfect dosage for a functional life, i only do them higher because of my amount of muscle mass,apart from that, i would use 200/250mg week as well
@@sanguinius3938 Even that is a hefty TRT dose. Most people don't actually understand how little is actually required to maintain a physique and optimal hormonal, emotional and physiological function. You'd be surprised with how you can actually get away with. I used to be of the same mindset when I first started years ago, started at around 250 mg/week and worked my way down to as little as 120 mg/week to maintain the same, if not better, physique and quality of life. The saying "less is more" applies very heavily in the world of TRT IMO.
I had a friend who was in his mid 50s and he had a gorgeous girl friend in her 20s. My friend was the type who would take anything or do anything to enhance his libido and prowess. All this guy did was talk about sex 24/7. He also had loss a ton of weight but he never seemed to exercise that much other than some daily moderate walking. I was suspicious that he was being given testosterone or other supplements because of his desire to keep up with the young lady. He saw an internal medicine doc who prescribed all sorts of things for him and saw him often. In the end my friend had a massive heart attack and died after going up and down a ladder a few times. I am thoroughly convinced that the supplements he was being administered to include penile injections were a major factor in his cardiac event.
I blast and cruise, cruise dose is 150mg Enanthate per week. I definitely notice i think less about sex when cruising, but still function and enjoy sex perfectly fine, just not as often.
This is a lil bit off subject.... But when I was in the Army I was in a small local study by my Ment. Health Dr; I have PTSD from my two tours of Iraq, long story, but he( my Dr) was granted to do a study with T. I was given 250mg Depo T. biweekly 8wk on 10wk off, as part of this study, now, my T panel did show a low normal lvl of free T, I've always had a good sex drive, still do, but man, when on the T, it was even better, not gonna lie, I had to note everything while on T, I loved it, it helped my PTSD, my sleep, I did loose about 23lbs, was 197lbs, pretty muscular, but then mid way through 2nd cycle I was still doing Army PT, and going to the gym, with no improvement in performance, but a massive gain in lean muscle gain and weight loss. I had just turned 28 when starting the study. The only thing I didn't like about it besides nurses checking out my bare ass 🤣 but I couldn't administer the shot myself, and the first two weeks off cycle I was always hungry. I think a huge study needs to be done with soldiers with PTSD, so the FDA will approve T for normal use in the military and VA( w/0 being in 40's+). Also I was and advid gym rat, not a bodybuilder. Great vid Doc!! Do you have anything for lowering the liver enzymes during off cycle? Thanks in advance 🤙🤙
Forgot to add, I'm 37 now, but I didn't loose my hair, or any or that, my wife did notice alil more aggressive in the gym, but was better on T than off T when at home, not always on edge like I am off of it(PTSD) BUT! My weekly blood test did show during my off cycle that my Hdl and ldl numbers were getting worse and liver enzymes did go up, but I started eatting cleaner, less greasy foods, and I started taking my own lunch to work insted of burger king..... Numbers went back to close to normal. I honestly think this would help younger men mentally and physically, not only in the bedroom, but socially as well
Hi Doc Have you ever heard of megalan steroids it’s meant to be one of the best for gaining muscle size but can’t find much information about it. Can you help me out with this product thanks doc love your Chanel doc
Guys, do yourself a favor if you’re gonna run TRT & make yourself a protocol to benefit your cardiovascular system. Vitamin K2, Citrus Bergamot, Krill oil, fish oil complex, aspirin, Apple cider vinegar, CoQ10, Garlic, ETC... all these will help mitigate the side effects of TRT.
I am a normal (never used in the past) 27-year-old man, full schedule: work, workout, eat and sleep. I cannot really say that I suffer from a lack of libido, but I lack the interest in approaching a woman for sex. Is it connected to low-T?
@@chattop minimal, so yeah, its enanthate 200, take .5 cc each dose, may need to run it with arimidex, minimal side effects. Dont notice anything other than needing arimidex
@@chattop oh, yeah, a little bloat, acne on back for sure. Also taking tren, the only bad side with tren , is if I dont drink enough water, I'll get severe cramping in an area I stretch out too fast not being hydrated
I suffer from low testosterone. 45yrs of age, 6ft and 201lbs. I suffer from terrible anxiety and agoraphobia. I did try Test Propionate at 25mg per day. It made my already bad anxiety even worse, although libido came back. I have been told that it was due to the fast acting ester raising E2 levels and that something like Cypionate or Enanthate would be far better and wouldn't cause anxiety issues? Any input/help on this please?
@@mattsalvatore3193 Thanks Matt. Prop definitely increased my anxiety, maybe due to it being so fast acting and spiking estrogen? I really am hoping that Cypionate won't increase anxiety.
@@Leo-the-lion1974 It's a possibility. Test prop is mainly used for a full blown cycle along with other short ester compounds. Have you had any blood tests to see where your estrogen levels are? If you already suffer from anxiety and agoraphobia, the fluctuating test/est levels may just be exasperating it.
@@mattsalvatore3193 Really appreciate your replies Matt. Testosterone levels are 10.2Nmol (312) and estrogen was fairly high at 58.4. Been on Valium (Diazepam) and Citalopram (Celexa) for many years. Libido has gone as has my self confidence.
Been on 200 mgs a week since Jan. Think about sex all the time. Still have erection problems without viagra though. Feel great though. 5'5" and 200 lbs. Always worked out. I wondered if increasing dose would improve erection problems??
Is there anyone else here who is also young and experiencing signs of low T? I'm 20 years old, diet, sleep and exercise are perfect but no gains, no libido, no erections and depression. What have been your experiences and did you go on TRT?
@@Summerbrah just had my blood work done last week and my results were 575 total and my free is 95. But I have no labido even though I have a clean diet I did notice my fsh ( follicle stimulating Harmon) is high that might have to do with my symptoms of fatigue and low sex drive. But I don't know if my Dr is going to prescribe me trt because 575 is still pretty low for our age but not low enough to get put on trt. But I'm really glad you doing alot better zinc is a great supplement to stay on all the time.
I am 23, male. When i was 21 I did a 14 week cycle with 500mg test enanthate per week and a small dose of trenbolone acetate for. I took aromasin intermittently in response to sensitive nipples and bloating, Both of those sides were mild. I experienced back acne near the end of the 14 weeks, Nothing crazy considering I was using tren. This was my first cycle and I gained almost 30 lbs of lean mass. I was training 5 days a week. I used letrozole for PCT I am now 23 and had my total test measured about 6 months ago and it was in the normal range I think around 430ng/dl I cant remember the number but I had my total and free test measured months before I started the cycle and all my hormones were normal. Edit: I also Looked at a sample of my ejaculate under a compound microscope before and after. Im not qualified to say how my sperm was affected but, They seem healthy and active since using test and tren for a cycle.
Unless you are a pro bodybuilder you should stick to Test E only. 12 week cycle of 500mg(250mg twice/week) with PCT of Nolvadex only for 3 weeks starting 2weeks after last shot..40mg/day week 1 & 2 then 20mg/day for week 3.
Major lower back injury 25 years ago. Been using sustanon 250 for 3 years now due to low t and unable to get erection. Helped alittle. Added hgh and works good together
adrian castro a bodybuilder friend 2 years younger is is running 1200 to 1400 except 10 years in prison has been using since high school strong and ripped
ive been taking 150mg per week test enanthate for 3 weeks. how long until you experience higher libido? I havent seen any change so far. Ive heard mixed reports of 3 weeks and some people saying 2 months.
If you're not taking Proviron as well, you should wait for about 4 weeks, or you just increase the dosage to about 200mg/ week because it's more stable and your body will absolutely absorb it, just remember, libido needs testosterone to be improved and to exist, but it's not SOLELY depending on that, it has other variant factors as well, ( your mind)
@@anthonyzellars19 It might be an issue relating to your prolactin levels. First of all I'd recommend taking a bodybuilder dose of cialis every day for the blood flow and erection benefits, maybe in future taper down the tren/deca doses and add some masteron to your cutting cycles to decrease prolactin. You could try cabergoline in small doses to decrease your prolactin levels as well. It's hard to tell without blood work what the issue is, try and get some as soon as you can because it could just be an issue of test/estrogen imbalance fucking up your sex drive or something.
Hello Dr. Oconner, my name is Robert, 57 years old. I was having trouble with mood, building muscle and low test levels. I had 3 tests done. Total testosterone was 231,256 and 321. My free and bioavailable testosterone were low too, can not remember the exact numbers. My doctor started me on trt last week, 1 mg every other week. Is this a good amount for me? I would also like to build some strength and muscle. Any input would be appreciated. They are checking my blood work every 3 months to keep a eye on everything. Thank.you sir!
robert burwell first no one can tell you what is a “good amount” everyone is different second that protocol is horrible,test has a half life of about 7 days that is probably the longest you should go before another shot, that doc is sending you on a roller coaster ride with you’re levels, you are going to take a shot by the sixth or seven day you levels are at the bottom again and you start feeling like crap, your doing it every 14days that’s insane talk to you’re doc about this or get a new one, most people do more frequent injection(2x or3x week) to keep steady levels and you will feel a lot better and definitely get better benefits from it, good luck
I guess you meant 1 ml i.e 100 mg? I am on TRT for almost a year now on 100 mg every week. 100 mg every alternate week which you mentioned thats a pretty low dose in my opinion. You can talk to your doctor to increase it but offcourse after you look at your next blood report. hope that helps.
We're in Essex, CT. You could take the train to New Haven then get an uber. We've always done telemedicine too, and have expanded that during the quarantine.
Another thing I wanted to share is I started Test on my own because of my job is physical and needed the healing help but it helped my mood so much I didnt even know it would do that so i stayed on it. 779 base test is great for most ppl but feels low for me. There shouldnt be a guideline for the average man to put someone on this. 1 mans test might be 400 and he feels great but mines twice that and i had depression mood swings and anxiety. I was on prozac and hated my life. Testosterone literally changed my life. I got off prozac and im happy again. Feel like I did in my 20s
Research something called d-aspartic acid cause it suppose to be a good natural tetesterone booster but have to take it with something called dim to help control estrogen level because increasing tetesterone naturally can also increase estrogen levels also
At age 30 my testosterone levels were 200. Which the Dr dint help was over weight tired than normally. Sex drive dropped while I notice it dropped when I was 26. Never did I thought of getting blood work dun into I was told to go get my testosterone levels check and yes that was the problem. I'm 35 now and I been testosterone this whole past year and I feel great. I use tren n eq with testosterone. My last blood lab levels I was 4,000 high level. Sex drive is great I'm feeling like 18 again. That's just my experience.

Please stop saying polycythemia. It’s erythrocytosis. The former is a type of cancer where rbcs, wbc and platelets are elevated. It’s the platelets that are responsible for thrombosis (blood clots). Erythrocytosis is when you have elevated rbcs only. Studies show no risk for blood clots. Think about people who live at very high elevations and have a hemoglobin of 19. They are not at risk for blood clots as the platelets are not elevated in erythrocytosis.

My wife actually told me to go get my levels checked( it had been 6 months sense sex). Long story short, my test level was 74( i did steroids in my early 20’s). I was placed on 200mg cypt a week.

You have inspired me to study Biotechnology Engineer. I’m about to enter college and want to study how exogenous compounds (from medicines, drugs, steroids, everything) affect the body and make them better or even create new ones. I’m considering after studying making a degree specific to PEDS and sports. Just a big thank you , I’m learning so much from your videos and enjoying them.
Pd: Almost all my family are doctors, so I wanted to continue the path but my way, I’m more intro creating and developing rather than curing and diagnosing.

Hey Jose, how long have you been on TRT and were you low T before starting? My doctor is telling me that my levels are normal but I literally have every known symptom of low T.
doc another great study. 58years old been taking 200mg of test every 7-10 days over the last 4 years never had any sides or problems feel great all the time never had any illness since i started sexually its amazing its like i am 18 again, lots of muscle all over my body but i do train every day, orgazams are of the chart and for me test is the fountain of youth no doubt about it and i dont intend stopping ever.

Any hair loss when taking testosterone?
Hi Doc! Thanks so much for all the remarkable content you’re putting out for the bodybuilding community and men in general. You often reference “microdosing” of testosterone but don’t mention specifics. I would LOVE a full episode devoted specifically to your recommendations around common or recommended frequencies, dosages, injection sites (e.g. glutes vs deltoids, as well as IM vs SubQ). I switched from test cyp once weekly doses to twice a week, where I inject every 84 hours (i.e. 3.5 days) and have noticed improvements. Still, I notice ups and downs with my libido.
However, I’ve heard about using insulin needles to reduce scar tissue and injecting every other day or even daily. Would love to hear your thoughts on this since I know the TRT community has a TON of non-expert debate on this topic in community forums, videos, etc. I also appreciate everyone is different and it depends on the ongoing relationship with your doctor, but I’d love to hear from the guru himself to get an idea of baseline. Thanks ahead of time!
This Doctor is amazing without him the world is lost.
I'd be happy to take part in any study you do. From 27-31 I started experiencing extreme fatigue, anxiety, depression, memory issues, and a low sex drive that all but died by 31. I'm a personal trainer, very active and eat healthy. At 27 my T levels were about 380 ng/dl, taking in the morning while fasting. Every time I got it tested it went lower and lower. Doctors told me I was fine, just depressed, but finally my free T dropped to 2.9 and they started me on TRT take 100mg twice a week. It's so hard to find information about this so if I could contribute I'd be happy to.
Listening your knowledge is always amazing! I’m a great follower of you and my passion growing daily and my knowledge now is helping me to live better! Thanks again doc
Morning wood like a teenager at 44. Thank you Phizer 🍆
I am 28 on trt through Royal medical. My start numbers were 244 total and 11 free estradiol at 19. I had depression and low sex drive even though I did not have ED. I've been on trt for 3 weeks now at 200mg a week with a al and 2 hcg shots per week I feel so so much better.
Joshua Moore that’s awesome man. I’m 25 and my test is 367 free is 49. Sent my blood work over yesterday to a doctor that has a clinic here in Chicago and I’m scheduled for a phone a call later this morning. Really hope that trt is going to fix a lot of my problems.
I’d get off the AI or be very very careful with it, estrogen is our friend and regulates heart health and sex drive. Crashing estrogen is very very bad.
dmg12345678 I think he uses it because of the hcg and test. He could be aromatizing too much
Luis Angel better still to reduce dosages by 20-30% to lower estrogen as opposed to touching an AI.

@@azbycerda5189 Yeah? hypogonadism my man
Always informative and I thank you Dr for caring for us men.
Hello Doctor. I am just finding your channel, and I am already chained to it. I am 47. I started to suffer ED and low T 11 years ago. Doctors never paid attention to my symptoms, and I had to really insist to discover after a test that my T was in the low, low, low range, therefore, I was considered as having normal levels, and not treated. Recently as 4 months ago, after insisting again, another doctor finally found that my T was undetectable, mostly because of stress. I went on undecanate and the effects the first month were amazing (libido, energy, muscle building). I started to exercise again also. But, I am considering to procreate, and the fertility doctor did not recommended the undeca. He put into clomiphene. the first month after the undecanate, my T level was 24 (range 11 - 34), then under clomid went to 34, and this month was 39. I must admit I was surprised, especially since I am not receiving any T injections. Also, my fertility increased from none to normal levels. (2m sample in 2019 to 24.5m last month). However, even though the levels of free testosterone (always measured in the mornings around 8 am) are high, I was able to feel how the libido, mood, and energy started to decrease. I haven't notice any effect on the muscle-building process, and I am still experiencing gains. What could the the missing factor? I will appreciate your comments.
PD: after watching this amazing video, I was thinking. What about researching about the studies were T is used as contraceptive? Those are generally applied to young men with normal levels of T. I understand that the main outcome of the study will be the measurement of the sperm count, but, some of them could report on side effects (both positive and negative). Thanks Doc.
I just started trt (end of second week) here in Australia, I have a cream which when you pump it twice is dispenses 100mg of testosterone and 10mg of DHEA.
My testosterone blood test said I was 11.7nmol/l 3 weeks later I was 9.1 and free testosterone was 289.4nmol/l . I will have another blood test in 4 weeks time.
But I’ve notice and improvement with mood and mental clarity no more (foggy ness)
My libido was dead, but slowly coming back. My local doctors said my results were fine. So glad I found someone to help me, I’m looking forward to the positive health results this will bring. Keep doing the great videos, they are soo helpful to people like myself looking to make informed decisions.
Did you go to a 'clinic' or GP?
Dav Dave started with my local GP, but unhelpful. So I went to a “clinic” I prefer the idea of weekly injections as with the cream you have no idea how much has been absorbed. Guess I’ll find out after blood tests in four weeks.
Having a life quality 10x higher than normal is worth the risks. Life is not about longevity but quality
Its interesting how something our bodies makes naturally is so dangerous if used endogenously.
@@DFletcher413I think you mean exogenously
Endo, " Do you find women that weren't attractive attractive now?" Simply put YES!

Thanks for a great video, im 54 and have been on trt for 6 years both injections and pellets the increase in sex drive is amazing i feel like im 30 again the only problem i ever had was when my doctor had me taking to much anastrozole and it crashed my estrogen, for me the low estrogen was far worse than low T i had ED that was horrible. The only thing i can say is men make sure your partner is on board because you are definitely going to want sex more frequently
Do you take a PCT as well?

was wondering if you can make a video once on why Leydig cells produce less t with age and if there are any technologies in the pipeline to rejuvenate them.also another idea for a video is the peptide kisspeptin 10 that can be legally prescribed in usa and might help some middle age men. also on wether low dose pde5 inhibitors such as cialis can raise t levels/libido long term wout serious side effects as middle age men are using these meds a lot...
thanks thanks thanks
I've found a big difference between on and off. I also see state of mind as a big part of libido.
I'm 57, at 55 I took my first T level. It was 253, 3 weeks ago I took my next test was 205 I finally decided to go with HRT. Dr : prescribed 150 mg/ weel Cypionate....I had good energy to workouts n weights all my life. It was the zero libido that got me to commit. I hope this will help.
At 33 years old I tried 500 ml testosterone E. for 10 weeks, and I went from what I feel was a normal sex drive to a near fiend. I could not get enough sex. It was overwhelming at times if I’m honest. I was back to my normal self after pct. I have never felt better than I did those 10 weeks.
Hi can you tell me how it was for losing fat and or gaining muscle ? I'm thinking to try 500mg for these reasons, I am 30 years old. Thank you
Christopher D. I put on about 15 lbs. started at 160 lbs ended at 176 lbs. I was pretty lean to start with. Not shredded, but visible abs. I would estimate 8 lbs of it was muscle. I have no way of knowing for sure. I just ate everything on site though. (Very unhealthy) I imagine that if I had maintained a healthy diet my results would have been a lot better. To that end if I had NOT been using the testosterone and ate like I did I would have just gotten fat. I got a lot stronger though. Bench press went up 50lbs! Obviously it’s probably not the best thing to do to your body, but for me personally it was the best I ever felt.
@@kennetheverett729 ok gotcha, thanks !

Great topic!!
Awesome video
Im 41 and im amazed by the guys i tell who are too embarrassed to get tested...fine w me...
I was one of those people who felt different after the first jab. Not amazing, but awake, and I hadn’t felt like that in years. Been on TRT for maybe nine weeks now and every week that passes I seem to feel a little better. Never had ED even with T of about 250-290 at it’s worst as I think I’m a high DHT converter. Men in my family tend to have hairy bodies and slap heads...
A good alternative might've been just using a product call d-aspartic acid and something called dim as a estrogen blocker because when u increase T levels your estrogen levels also increase and once u start doin testerone injections u end up having to do that for life d- aspartic acid would have been the more natural approach in my opinion
Something else might've helped called boron and ashwagandha
Already on ashwaghanda. Free androgen index was 1/10th of what it should have been. I’ve had three separate illnesses all known to permanently kill your testosterone. Mine was never going to come back without TRT...

Doctors say its normal and nothing can be done about it, but I feel that its on the low end because I'm always tired, no motivation for much, etc. Apart from buying my own test etc, is there anything else that can be done?
"no one size fits all",,,,,,, that's what i have been telling my pcp and endocrinologist, i have all the symptoms at 53yrsold, in the past 2yrs my t levels have dropped from 500 to 460 to now 370, neither dr. will give me test, they don't even want to try it for a month just to see if i improve. i have chronic fatigue more than anything along with low libido, bad sleep, irritability, mood swings, grouchy bad attitude most of the time, no drive or motivation for anything, and i get winded real quick. getting behind on chores and things i have to do, scaled back on workouts cause i've gotten weaker and it takes about a week to fully recover. i've been to 3 different pcps and 2 endocrinologists, all of them are going by the 300ml protocols, if i had the money, i would just go to anti-aging clinics, but i don't, so, til i about fall over dead with test levels going under 300 so ins. can cover, i'm screwed.!!

I don't go off ever, i'm on Test for about 1 year and a half, my facial aspect has become better and thinner, physique, immune system ( even if studies shows otherwise, which i think is fucking stupid), and of course, attitude, mood improve, the thing i disagree with people who cycle test then stop is, their homonal balance and natural testosterone production will be affected, and it will deregulate their entire system, this is why i won't stop or don't intend to stop, even if after a few years people say my natural production will be impossible to be put back to normal, i don't care, withdrawing testosterone is worse than not doing in the first place, so i will always maintain a decent dosage of 400 mg/week, but i already used 500mg/week on a higher physique performance before, and my estrogen levels are also in the clear, so no acne or gyno
I have the exact same story started January 1st 2019.... my entire life has improved dramatically. My mood is as good as it's ever been.

I had a friend who was in his mid 50s and he had a gorgeous girl friend in her 20s. My friend was the type who would take anything or do anything to enhance his libido and prowess. All this guy did was talk about sex 24/7. He also had loss a ton of weight but he never seemed to exercise that much other than some daily moderate walking. I was suspicious that he was being given testosterone or other supplements because of his desire to keep up with the young lady. He saw an internal medicine doc who prescribed all sorts of things for him and saw him often. In the end my friend had a massive heart attack and died after going up and down a ladder a few times. I am thoroughly convinced that the supplements he was being administered to include penile injections were a major factor in his cardiac event.
I blast and cruise, cruise dose is 150mg Enanthate per week. I definitely notice i think less about sex when cruising, but still function and enjoy sex perfectly fine, just not as often.
Truth
This is a lil bit off subject.... But when I was in the Army I was in a small local study by my Ment. Health Dr; I have PTSD from my two tours of Iraq, long story, but he( my Dr) was granted to do a study with T. I was given 250mg Depo T. biweekly 8wk on 10wk off, as part of this study, now, my T panel did show a low normal lvl of free T, I've always had a good sex drive, still do, but man, when on the T, it was even better, not gonna lie, I had to note everything while on T, I loved it, it helped my PTSD, my sleep, I did loose about 23lbs, was 197lbs, pretty muscular, but then mid way through 2nd cycle I was still doing Army PT, and going to the gym, with no improvement in performance, but a massive gain in lean muscle gain and weight loss. I had just turned 28 when starting the study. The only thing I didn't like about it besides nurses checking out my bare ass 🤣 but I couldn't administer the shot myself, and the first two weeks off cycle I was always hungry. I think a huge study needs to be done with soldiers with PTSD, so the FDA will approve T for normal use in the military and VA( w/0 being in 40's+). Also I was and advid gym rat, not a bodybuilder. Great vid Doc!! Do you have anything for lowering the liver enzymes during off cycle? Thanks in advance 🤙🤙
Forgot to add, I'm 37 now, but I didn't loose my hair, or any or that, my wife did notice alil more aggressive in the gym, but was better on T than off T when at home, not always on edge like I am off of it(PTSD) BUT! My weekly blood test did show during my off cycle that my Hdl and ldl numbers were getting worse and liver enzymes did go up, but I started eatting cleaner, less greasy foods, and I started taking my own lunch to work insted of burger king..... Numbers went back to close to normal. I honestly think this would help younger men mentally and physically, not only in the bedroom, but socially as well

Guys, do yourself a favor if you’re gonna run TRT & make yourself a protocol to benefit your cardiovascular system. Vitamin K2, Citrus Bergamot, Krill oil, fish oil complex, aspirin, Apple cider vinegar, CoQ10, Garlic, ETC... all these will help mitigate the side effects of TRT.

Is there anyone else here who is also young and experiencing signs of low T? I'm 20 years old, diet, sleep and exercise are perfect but no gains, no libido, no erections and depression. What have been your experiences and did you go on TRT?
Sup body did you get your blood work done yet?
@@garramon4360 yes! 550ng/dl. In my experience, a couple of supplements and other social life changes helped significantly. You?
@@Summerbrah just had my blood work done last week and my results were 575 total and my free is 95. But I have no labido even though I have a clean diet I did notice my fsh ( follicle stimulating Harmon) is high that might have to do with my symptoms of fatigue and low sex drive. But I don't know if my Dr is going to prescribe me trt because 575 is still pretty low for our age but not low enough to get put on trt. But I'm really glad you doing alot better zinc is a great supplement to stay on all the time.

I am 23, male. When i was 21 I did a 14 week cycle with 500mg test enanthate per week and a small dose of trenbolone acetate for. I took aromasin intermittently in response to sensitive nipples and bloating, Both of those sides were mild. I experienced back acne near the end of the 14 weeks, Nothing crazy considering I was using tren. This was my first cycle and I gained almost 30 lbs of lean mass. I was training 5 days a week. I used letrozole for PCT
I am now 23 and had my total test measured about 6 months ago and it was in the normal range I think around 430ng/dl
I cant remember the number but I had my total and free test measured months before I started the cycle and all my hormones were normal.
Edit: I also Looked at a sample of my ejaculate under a compound microscope before and after. Im not qualified to say how my sperm was affected but, They seem healthy and active since using test and tren for a cycle.
Unless you are a pro bodybuilder you should stick to Test E only.
12 week cycle of 500mg(250mg twice/week) with PCT of Nolvadex only for 3 weeks starting 2weeks after last shot..40mg/day week 1 & 2 then 20mg/day for week 3.
@@SS-xo5iz I don't remember asking you anything. hmmm my memory must be going.
Major lower back injury 25 years ago. Been using sustanon 250 for 3 years now due to low t and unable to get erection. Helped alittle. Added hgh and works good together
So when you added HGH (how much, how often?) you are now able to get an erection?

@@eternalsoul3862 how many UIs is that? And did it help your ED?
@@nilskp .5 using diabetic syringe. Yes it helps greatly. Still have to use viagra or cialis. Cialis works better for me. I take 20-30 mg
The thing is “normal” test levels are “200-900” ....who even knows what is a real normal.
TRUTHandANSWERS 500-700ng/dl.

Doctor, do you prescribe test? I'm already on TRT therapy, but need a doctor to over see me.
ive been taking 150mg per week test enanthate for 3 weeks. how long until you experience higher libido? I havent seen any change so far. Ive heard mixed reports of 3 weeks and some people saying 2 months.
From week 4 or so it will get better unless you add proviron and libido go up considerably.
Masteronnnnnnnnnnn
If you're not taking Proviron as well, you should wait for about 4 weeks, or you just increase the dosage to about 200mg/ week because it's more stable and your body will absolutely absorb it, just remember, libido needs testosterone to be improved and to exist, but it's not SOLELY depending on that, it has other variant factors as well, ( your mind)
Test proviron and masteron. I felt amazing on that. Poor wife do 🤣
@@sanguinius3938 how are you managing your Estrogen and DHT in 200 mg/week? also how proviron helps? thanks
Have an issue of getting hard been a steroids for about year. What can I do solve this problem?
Depends on what you are taking
AndrewOmega right now test 300 3ml 3x a week anavar. Also cycled Tran,deca, winstrol
@@anthonyzellars19 It might be an issue relating to your prolactin levels. First of all I'd recommend taking a bodybuilder dose of cialis every day for the blood flow and erection benefits, maybe in future taper down the tren/deca doses and add some masteron to your cutting cycles to decrease prolactin. You could try cabergoline in small doses to decrease your prolactin levels as well. It's hard to tell without blood work what the issue is, try and get some as soon as you can because it could just be an issue of test/estrogen imbalance fucking up your sex drive or something.
Thank you!! I appreciate it.
Get private bloods and find out what the issue is. Don't start taking meds like caber, hoping it will solve the problem. Good luck.
Can i take testE while on accutane??
Hello Dr. Oconner, my name is Robert, 57 years old. I was having trouble with mood, building muscle and low test levels. I had 3 tests done. Total testosterone was 231,256 and 321. My free and bioavailable testosterone were low too, can not remember the exact numbers. My doctor started me on trt last week, 1 mg every other week. Is this a good amount for me? I would also like to build some strength and muscle. Any input would be appreciated. They are checking my blood work every 3 months to keep a eye on everything. Thank.you sir!
robert burwell first no one can tell you what is a “good amount” everyone is different second that protocol is horrible,test has a half life of about 7 days that is probably the longest you should go before another shot, that doc is sending you on a roller coaster ride with you’re levels, you are going to take a shot by the sixth or seven day you levels are at the bottom again and you start feeling like crap, your doing it every 14days that’s insane talk to you’re doc about this or get a new one, most people do more frequent injection(2x or3x week) to keep steady levels and you will feel a lot better and definitely get better benefits from it, good luck
I guess you meant 1 ml i.e 100 mg? I am on TRT for almost a year now on 100 mg every week. 100 mg every alternate week which you mentioned thats a pretty low dose in my opinion. You can talk to your doctor to increase it but offcourse after you look at your next blood report. hope that helps.
Do you have a clinic in New York City? And where
We're in Essex, CT. You could take the train to New Haven then get an uber. We've always done telemedicine too, and have expanded that during the quarantine.
Another thing I wanted to share is I started Test on my own because of my job is physical and needed the healing help but it helped my mood so much I didnt even know it would do that so i stayed on it. 779 base test is great for most ppl but feels low for me. There shouldnt be a guideline for the average man to put someone on this. 1 mans test might be 400 and he feels great but mines twice that and i had depression mood swings and anxiety. I was on prozac and hated my life. Testosterone literally changed my life. I got off prozac and im happy again. Feel like I did in my 20s
I think 15 million is incredibly low estimate...
Doc, I have sent an email to you a couple of weeks ago and not had any response as yet.
Research something called d-aspartic acid cause it suppose to be a good natural tetesterone booster but have to take it with something called dim to help control estrogen level because increasing tetesterone naturally can also increase estrogen levels also
Also something might be worth researching that "MIGHT"help fight the corona virus called NAC or GLUDATHIONE
At age 30 my testosterone levels were 200. Which the Dr dint help was over weight tired than normally. Sex drive dropped while I notice it dropped when I was 26. Never did I thought of getting blood work dun into I was told to go get my testosterone levels check and yes that was the problem. I'm 35 now and I been testosterone this whole past year and I feel great. I use tren n eq with testosterone. My last blood lab levels I was 4,000 high level. Sex drive is great I'm feeling like 18 again. That's just my experience.
Is gyno more likely if your fat or no
No
1cc of 200 Test split to Every other day shots....200iu HCG Every other day.....Lab test is >1500 Test....Feel Amazing
Kelly Armstrong 160-175mgs week would be plenty imho.
That is too high and can cause some health issues in the long run, you better aim for 900-1100

Please stop saying polycythemia. It’s erythrocytosis. The former is a type of cancer where rbcs, wbc and platelets are elevated. It’s the platelets that are responsible for thrombosis (blood clots). Erythrocytosis is when you have elevated rbcs only. Studies show no risk for blood clots. Think about people who live at very high elevations and have a hemoglobin of 19. They are not at risk for blood clots as the platelets are not elevated in erythrocytosis.
