@@QuaK3RRR need to do total and free. My test yesterday was 256 total and 6.6 free. For perspective. A 65 years old man will have a total test around 300 to 350
Been on TRT for 2 years. It’s truly amazing. Taking hcg and anastrazole as well. 60 years old, doing resistance training 3x per week. Intermittent fasting 20/4. At 9.3% bodyfat. Feel like I’m 40. I’ll never stop taking it.
The healing rate of my testosterone level increased very fast after I used the medication I got from Dr igho on RU-vid, he gave me a good impression that it is gonna work and it did work because right now I don't longer experience symptoms I use to experience I now have strong Erections
@@xCestLaVie1 my test levels were in the low 200s . For about 6 months now I am on 150mgs of test c every 6 days. Now I’m in the high 600s .I do have arimidex on hand but have yet to need it. Before I was just overweight low energy and overall just in a bad state of mind. After a few months of trt and training I honestly fee like a new person. I dropped the Prozac about 4 months ago and will never go back. I’m 33 years old as well so being young and having low t isn’t easy . I had the hardest time finding a doc that wanted to help me.
Just started my first application today. Can’t wait to see the changes. My level was 166 when tested last month. Have been experiencing low energy levels, muscle loss and memory fog so I’m hoping this helps. I’m using the cream instead of the injection.
@@johnthornton2670 best of luck to you. I have never tried the cream .my current doctor tried to prescribe it and I asked for injection. I have 3 young daughters and I didn’t like the thought of accidentally rubbing test cream on them .
I suggest you do full blood work ups for everything besides only test levels. I did full work ups that eventually led to an MRI and found a pituitary tumor. if going down the rabbit hole, check everything including thyroid as well.
I was just prescribed TRT but haven't had my first injection yet. I was told by a previous doctor that my levels were very low for my age (mid 20's) but they wouldn't prescribe until I was in the actual lower range (300-1400, I was at like 350). 6 years later I go to a new doctor and I had to demand the test to be done because I was "too young to be having testosterone issues" came back at 205. I'm nervous about having to be on something the rest of my life, but I'm looking forward to the effects I'm reading about.

I just turned 19 and have been cycling 100 mg trt for years. I feel great. I have a low body fat %. I feel stronger than ever and I'm ready to pounce on my sexual partner every second I'm not in the gym or at work. The effects we're life changing ad they could be for you.
For people on TRT have most lost their hair? Do most get more body hair (I already have too much) And has anyone had a child while on TRT because I’m very nervous about it making me infertile.

Been on trt for a year. My levels were about 216ish. Now around 650. I'm 54 years old. I honestly feel younger. Ive notice more muscle mass and a clearer head and thinking process. Another positive is that It's made me very calm...less irritable, people around me appreciate that.
Yeah I was really getting short with folks. I would damn near have a heart attack just driving home with stupid drivers lol. Now on testosterone Im way more chill.
@@marko196912 I take .5ml per week. I inject myself. I started at .75ml but my tests said that that was too much. .5 seems to be good for me per doctor. Btw I get treated by an endocrinologist.
I'm 24 y.o I have been depressed since I can remember I have been on all kinds of antidpressants over the years wich only made my depression worst, also chronique stress and anxiety ( especially social anxiety ) went to urologist my T was 305 ng/dl he told me he has patients who are 75 80 years and have higher T than I do. Started me on 200mg sustanon every 10 days God only knows how much my life turned around I went from being extreeemly shy with no self esteem at alll to alpha mal . The only thing that was keeping me from suicide was my mom she has cancer and I couldn't stand the idea of her losing me ..
I’m really sorry to hear that Mohamed. Depression very commonly destroys your sex drive and confidence. In case you go through depression again, there are many ways to improve your mood and get out of depression. I’m not saying these are the definitive answers for you, but these may be helpful suggestions: 1) get lots of vitamin D3 (both through supplementation and getting into the sun every day on your skin for at least 20min). Sunshine, vitamin d3, and circadian rhythms play such a huge role in mood and depression. 2) start exercising daily - even if you don’t feel like it. Exercise is truly our access point to our body’s “natural pharmacy”. When we exercise, our brain release endorphins and a bunch of other neurotransmitters that make us feel better. Do some kind of exercise you are interested in / gravitate toward.... whether that’s lifting weight, running, or practicing a sport. Do it daily. And take a walk outside in the fresh air daily. 3) get into a proper sleep rhythm. No staying up late watching tv or RU-vid. Reestablishing a circadian rhythm and sleeping better will help your mood tremendously. 4) if you watch porn / masturbate regularly, stop that. It wrecks your brain’s neurotransmitter balance and makes you more anxious and depressed over time. 5) eat as healthy as possible. Lots of non processed foods... fruits, veggies, high quality meats / fish, eggs. A clean diet will help your depression tremendously. I know this may seem like a lot... and it is. But you’re worth it. You can take charge of your mood and your life by making changes like these. You just have to decide to make these changes your #1 priority.... and to dedicate all the energy and willpower you do have to make these changes. If you do make that choice, you will start feeling better very quickly.
I have been fighting with doctors for over a year now to get on TRT. Early 30s and my labs were coming back 170 ng/dl. I finally found a doctor who didn’t try to keep shoving me on Clomid (which did nothing). I start TRT in a couple of weeks. I can’t wait to see if it works. I need a change.
Just started TRT (04/11): Age 50, Total Testosterone = 255 (Range is to be 240 - 950), Free Testosterone = 3.69 (Range is to be 4.06 - 15.6), Vitamin D = 16.7 (Range is to be 30-100), DHEA-S = 142.6 (Range is to be 70-495). This is after 6 months of me doing all the, "follow these guides on improving your testosterone"/supplements/etc. I now know they don't work. Get to a specialist and get tested. I kept telling my GP that I swear my body is telling me I have low free test, but he would only look at total test. I took it upon myself to go to a specialist. That is the only way to be sure you have low free testosterone. I am to do 0.75 injection per week. We men have a tendency to not take care of ourselves, this needs to stop.
Well said. I’m 47 and took two blood tests last week to see if my test was low because no doc had every tested me before. 1st test I was 180, 2nd 227. Just started Androgel today. I hope I get out of this slumpy feeling soon.
@@epiclegend8547 I went into my 3 month check in and they moved me to 0.5 injection twice a week. Fat to muscle ratio improved greatly. I am feeling so much better. Much more energy. Everything is FULLY working. Wife is very pleased and concerned now as everything is back to normal like when I was 25, per her.
Ive been thinking for quite awhile about getting tested for low T but I still get erections fairly easy and my muscle tone is still pretty good. But Ive noticed Im lazier and a little more depressed than usual lately. Ill probably get my T tested soon? Im 58.
It changed my life for the better tremendously, after my levels were returned to normal range. I was at super low levels and after a few months of injections I felt like a different man. Best treatment ever
I"m a 44 year old woman with almost non existing testosterone levels after having a brain injury that affected my pituitary... this caused me to have hormones of a 65 year old at age 39, it has been devastating to my career, personal life and health. After visiting 3 neurologists who want to pump you up with Meds that will make you addicted, fat and depressed, I finally found a doctor who knew that my Pituitary gland needed help, I am making sure my adrenals are supported to slow down on over production of cortisol in my body, also thyroid was affected as a domino effect, doctor put me on Testosterone cream 2x a week to help balance my hormones along with vitamins, minerals, probiotic, melatonin, herbs, improving sleep. I am feeling much better...I'm also thinking of checking if my 71 year old Father may benefit from TRT. GREAT INFO ON THE VIDEO! woman can also benefit from TRT
TRT breathed life into my tired old body. I took a year before TRT and tried almost everything natural; stinging nettle, boron, Vit D, mucuna puriens etc...Total T went from 650 ng/dl to 715 ng/dl, however free T remained at the level of a dead man. It took a good six months to 'dial in' my correct dosage of exogenous T. So be patient. Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) taken in conjunction with exogenous T will allow your testicles to continue to produce your normal T concentration, an added bonus. Also, HCG will prevent your nuts from shriveling into raisins.
My friend is doing the same he is 40, my level is 340 but the tiredness i feel all day and depression is exhausting. Workout makes me feel stronger but not enough to be always active
I'm on the natural path right now, and although my condition is not getting better, its at least not getting any worse. For the moment I'm still lethargic, but I'm binging nootropics to try and maintain my mental focused and sanity.
Being natty is just setting your self up for a life full of failure. Look at all the Top G's, they are all roiding. It's time to pin and win gentlemen.
Thanks. Good video. I’m on TRT right now and it’s been good. The thing I’ve noticed the most is it somehow gives me a sense of well being, hard to describe because it’s very subtle. I intentionally take low dosage (100mg per week) because I don’t need my brain to feel like an 18 year old again (if you know what I mean) - but it seems adequate. What seems a bit odd to me is - I’m told chemically that testosterone cypionate is chemically identical to the testosterone found naturally in our bodies so why would there be any “risks” by taking TRT that wouldn’t be present if your testosterone were naturally higher? Hope that makes sense. I guess my thinking is that I’m not too worried about any risks.
It’s because our bodies have signals going on through the process of feedback loops. So when we’re given testosterone exogenously (externally) it signals the body that there is plenty of testosterone around and that it can stop making it. Honestly if done correctly health risks seems to be quite manageable on TRT my hesitation is simply that it’s a lifelong decision because our natural production of T will be shut down completely if we ever wished to get off.
@@robertm5969 that’s not a 100% full proof method. It really depends on the individual how they respond to the exogenous test, and the duration they’ve been on it. Many people who have been on HRT for years were never able to recover natural production anywhere close to previous levels even with HCG and other meds
@@robertm5969 BUT you on HRT because your nat test levels are low..... So when you stop taking HRT you still have low natural Test levels..Even lower. He is correct. If you are old and have low test. levels and you go on HRT you are not cycling it. You are on it for life
I’m 52, my testosterone was at 215. I’m 10 months in on TRT. I have never felt better in my life. Lost 14 pounds of body fat and gained about 3 pounds of muscle. No more feelings of malaise and tired all the time. And the sex drive is back. I am currently on the pellets and my testosterone is at a steady 900
@Dakine You need to find a good clinic or doctor. Make sure they do blood tests before and every 4 months for the first year and a half. Also, make sure your doctor keeps close tabs on your vitamin levels.
You have to donate blood at the blood mobile regularly to keep the hematocrit in check. I do Double RBC donation every 4 months. Need to to keep Hematocrit under 50
Was feeling low T symptoms, so I started doing everything to optimize. Supplements, diet, lifting, sleeping, etc... and after 6 months, my testosterone is maxed out... at 198... Wtf body, why you do this to me?
Been struggling with chronic fatigue and had my bloodwork done and found that my testosterone level was extremely low at 190 and just started TRT and arimidex . Thank you for your excellent video on this subject.
35. Overweight af, pumped full of antidepressants and stimulants.. my last two T levels averaged 156. Just did my first trt injection tonight. Why did no one bring this up first :(. Hoping for positive changes to motivation and energy.😊
Same here man I’m 41 mine was at 170 total I took my first injection Wednesday as well I have been on the whole improve my self for 3 years now quit smoking , I eat right now , only drink water and coffee and although I have lost 80 lbs I’m still overweight ( I’m 250 ) Best of luck on your journey!!!!
@@sasoki688 I have been taking 2000 mg for about a month now night and day difference!!! I can honestly say I have never had this much energy and drive
Very informative video, at 41 years old & on the lower end for testosterone, I weighed the pros & cons & started TRT today to help battle my Multiple Sclerosis chronic fatigue & brain fog, we’ll see how it goes!
My body hairs are increased so much after trt. I have stopped it for 6 months now but still body hairs so much. Help what can i do. When will hair growth stop ?
The healing rate of my testosterone level increased very fast after I used the medication I got from Dr igho on RU-vid, he gave me a good impression that it is gonna work and it did work because right now I don't longer experience symptoms I use to experience I now have strong Erections
I noticed my T was low when I had issues getting out of bed in the morning. I would look at the time and notice I’d been sleeping 9-10 hrs but I would just lay in bed with no energy to get up. I thought I had mono or something... zero motivation to exercise or do anything physical.. I would get tired after the most basic things like taking groceries from the vehicle inside. The diet is a huge factor too. For years I ate fast food every other day sometimes twice a day. Been on test and estrogen blockers for 4 months and lifting / cardio multiple times a week. I’ve lost 30 lbs and went from being able to do 5 push-ups to 40 consecutively. At first my diet was poor and I was seeing no results but after I cleaned it up and only eat junk maybe once a week I’m noticing huge differences. I’m now starting to get feelings like I have almost too much energy like I just feel the need to go run or something. It’s helped me alot. I’m 31 with two kids. I’ve lost the feeling of depression but gained like a feeling of being a little more irritated at things. I play a healthy amount of video games and I’ve never been much of a rager but I did slam my fist down on my Desk a few times and it’s glass . Each time I would pause and think “ why did I do that ??” Luckily it’s not broken . It’s made me a little less passive I guess. I’ve noticed some pretty decent muscles gains as well . Nothing insane but It looks like I workout and I get compliments now about my figure. My plan is get blood tests again once I’ve reached some of my personal goals and see if maybe I can stop it and see where my T levels are after a bit. I’m lactose so I can’t really drink milk the only thing in my diet for dairy really is cheese and maybe some ice cream every two weeks. I eat nothing for breakfast except 2 cups of black coffee and vape nicotine. For lunch Usually tuna or some form of fish sandwich. Dinner is always chicken with broccoli or brawts with broccoli or some type of beef. I have maybe 6 slices of bread a week. I may have pasta like spaghetti or macaroni on the weekends and desert but that’s about it and what’s working for me while on this path. I found this video and thought I would share my experience.
I’m 33 working tons of hours at work, getting great sleep, eating ok, walking 10000 steps per day, but still wasn’t feeling normal, I went to get my T tested, it was at 129. I started on Gel but then read a study about the injection and switched to that, I am finally starting to feel normal and its only been 14 days so I cannot wait to see how I feel after multiple months. All I can say is if you think it might be low, go to your doctor and ask for a blood test!
@emersonsantiago3227 It's really the only way to for sure know how much you are taking. There's also no chance of transferring it through skin contact.
I've been to doctors and mine it around 403 ng test. They brushed it down to stress!!! But all the signs of low test at Age 36. Not sure what to do next
I spent most of my life bodybuilding (drug free) and was at a point in my 20s where I was benching 2X my weight. Nowadays I have chronic body pain, a really messed up back and constant feeling of lethargy. My Free test is on the low range of normal but my sex hormone is high. My muscles aren't as hard as they used to be and my belly has significant pinchable fat which I never had before. My doctor put me on clomid 3X / week but it seemed to raise my blood pressure. If I go on TRT, is increased blood pressure a risk? Also, how do SSRI's like Mirtazapine affect testosterone?
I hear some guys that deal with the thickening blood have to donate it regularly. Thicker blood will increase blood pressure. But again, not everyone on TRT experiences blood thickening. I'm waiting back on my second blood work panel. The fist indicated low testosterone levels and the Dr. wants to make sure it wasn't just a bad morning.
@@TarnishedGamer1 Thanks for the info. Yea I got my Test checked the same week that my dad passes away and it crashed down to 250. I got it retested a month later and it was over 500. Definitely stress impacted it. I think most doctors want to see at least 2 blood panels before determining if you really have low Test.
Good video. My experience, TRT alone helped libido, erection, mental clarity/mood. If you want the weight loss, muscle development, improved recovery then you have to address your diet and physical activity levels. You won't get abs and lose weight by just going on TRT, you still have to work at it and eat right.
This is what a lot of men don't get. However, it is one step in the right direction since test does increase you body's ability to burn fat. You will see a slight change (all things being equal) because you went from low test to normal, but that's just where you would be naturally. Exercise would boost that even more, but you won't turn into the Hulk.
@@TheProjectarnold Which opens up another segment of misinterpretation: TRT will only improve those symptom provided low test is the cause. Especially since those exact same symptoms can be caused by a dozen other ailments (e.g. psychological) that have nothing to do with low test. Otherwise, it may simply mask the true cause of these symptoms.
I'm 38 my levels are 319 for free testosterone. Is that considered low? Been super fatigued lately. My one concern is I read increases risk of heart failure.

My level when not on TRT was 23 total and 4.8 free. No those are not incorrect. Dr said lowest level he’s ever seen. I can really feel the difference With just 100-140mg a week. Night and day difference in energy, cognitive ability etc.
I have to compliment you. With all of the varying opinions on this topic I have to say that you touch on the pros and cons as well as the commitment to the therapy and the importance of lab monitoring. Job well done.... A+. Thanks 👍🏻👍🏻
I am 72 years old and started on trt injections when I was 50. I’ve always gone to the gym regularly since I was a teenager. I had a good physique but got some fat around my waist in my mid-forties no matter how much I exercised. I got liposuction and was very happy with the result. I had my doctor check my testosterone level and it was just below the normal range. So I started testosterone cypionate injections - 1 ml weekly. I didn’t expect it to have much effect but about 6 months later I noticed that I was much more muscular. I also noticed that the weights at the gym seemed so much lighter. That was very motivating and so were all of the positive comments I was getting about my amazing physique. My dating life took off and I was very popular. My self-confidence soared. Trt was a real life changer for me. If you don’t workout hard and aren’t already in shape, I don’t think you’ll see much effect. I do think that it probably increases energy and self-confidence.some regardless.
Very inspiring and good to know ! Especially seeing you’ve been doing this for 22 years ! I’ve been trying to be natural for as long as possible, but have had a script for a number of years for the one gel and notice I feel so much better when I use it , and younger and of course stronger at the gym it’s a godsend !
It's hard to rely on general doctors. You must do your own due diligence. I have a general doctor who tested me for testosterone levels on my request. I had a flare up from Crohn's Disease, my level was down to 290 but as I went into remission my levels went up to 500, 300 to 1000 is normal range. Doctor says your in normal range with no need of trt therapy, but with Crohn's you loose a large amount of muscle and most fat. I couldn't gain back my original muscle weight but my doctor says your blood work shows your fine. My libido didn't exist so the doctor easily prescribed viagra. 3 years later I have another Crohn's Flare-up but this time I tell my doctor I'm going to get trt one way or another because that number 500 means nothing compared to what my body is telling me and I would like to have a doctor to monitor me, he then referred me to a Urologist. A high normal rate would be about double of my normal rate of 500. Inability to gain good muscle mass, low libido and low energy and the fact that I took a high amount of Prednisone which is needed during a server Flare-up, causes a lack of calcium/ bone density. My doctor should be telling me to take TrT but did the opposite. I studied the benefits and side affects of TrT and found TrT is an exact fit of what I need. Explaining tis to my Urologist he started me on TrT. Just two months on TrT prescribed by a Urologist, I haven't felt this normal in 5 years. My muscle weight is higher then it has been in 5 years, my libido and energy is great. With TrT and weight lifting I know my bone density will be better then any other normal doctor prescription. I believe the quick results are only due to the lack of what was needed in my body. This TrT range shown by doctors and used by insurances is inaccurate in my case. What do you think?
@@BB-hy2dt There are plenty of Doctors who just don't know or don't want to bother with TRT, its that simple, Not really sure why? maybe because they have to monitor you bloodwork, and they don't get paid enough to baby sit you. I am in HC field so I have some point of reference. Anyhow best health in you journey!
I'm 41, the d doesn't work like it used to, my energy level is low, my diet is fine, my exercise is fine, exhausted a lot. Going in Monday morning for blood work and going from there. Already had blood work done but it was later in the day and I'm low. Dr said he'll recommend a shot every 3 months and we'll from there. I need something to help me with my wife and my feeling as a man it's getting depressing. Hope something helps.
What kind of shot, IM or SQ, or a pallet. if it is pallet, it is slow release, it is should be fine. But, for injections, it should be done at least weekly. Some people do it every other day in small doses (They divid their weekly/biweekly dose to every other day).
I am 78 years old. My doctors just told me that my levels are below 10 so I should get the treatments. Don't know how many years I have left so I might as well go whole hog as they say. I don't want to be a bodybuilder just normal looking with a little vigor. Pellets seem to be the right avenue to go but I don't know if they have it here in New Jersey. Next would be needles. Other than that I have ED 100 percent. They have to fix that as well. After all we are supposed to keep on going until we die. So, I'll see if we can go that route. What says you.
I'm trying to get on it but I think my levels are too high to qualify. I came in at 734ng/dl from a morning blood test. But at 42 my libido is down and confidence isn't super high. I used test recreationally in my mid/late 20's (about 500mg/week for building muscle) and I felt absolutely amazing. Felt super healthy, had nice muscle mass and just felt like I could do anything. Confidence was through the roof. That's when I met my wife, I had never been so confident with a woman until I was on it. I would love to feel like that again but I'd prefer to do it legitimately with regular blood work instead of blasting 2000mg / month and hoping nothing bad happens lol. Great, informative video!
Was on trt cypionate for 3 years. I've been off for 4 weeks and feel no ill effect like most mention they feel after coming off. Any reason why I don't feel different?

I’m 31, former soldier was recently diagnosed with a microadenoma on my pituitary gland. Wasn’t feeling well for years despite having a proper diet and exercising 6 days a week with proper sleep. Starting TRT next week. Current levels are 295 ng/dl I hope it helps
Not impressed with it I took it for awhile and felt a little better initially but couldn’t rule out a placebo affect. Then nothing but it made my blood “ sticky” and I stopped it. Didn’t feel the risk was worth it to me! Just saying
I'm 26 years old and over the past 2 years or so I could never describe really what was wrong with me. It was as if I was getting out of bed everyday charged to 40%. Got my blood work and I was in the 400's. At this young age there's no reason I should be feeling the way I do especially when I make all the "natural ways to boost your testosterone" a part of my daily life and still feel sluggish. I'm excited for the journey!
@@masonfarber2604 It takes 6 plus weeks to show some improvement and my clinic says around 3 months in I'll start showing almost all of the benefits. I was on it and then had to hop off because my benefits. Now I'm 6 weeks in again and starting to feel a lot better, more like myself. As men we need testosterone to function in every way.
Here's a cautionary tale, two years ago, I was taking DHEA (26-50mg) daily for about 60 days straight when I noticed my hair starting to thin. I came to find out that DHEA can be converted to DHT in certain individuals, so I stopped taking it immediately.
I have felt horrible for years sleeping most of the day but attributed it to my diabetes and sleep apnea... well after getting to two testosterone bloodwork tests about a week apart my levels showed me to be at 28 not 280 but 28 ...this all happened right as I was getting ready to move across the country from Kansas to Florida so I didnt want to wait to start ... I just filled out my state medical insurance application here in Florida but waited till I got the andro gel filled in Kansas and listed myself as visitng Florida for first couple weeks and had the meds overnighted to me and started the first packet of gel today so I will post how this effects me but any info, input, or advice would be very welcome... also before anyone comments no I dont have a cpap yet its its something I have been fighting with state insurance to get for 3 yrs but my wife is staying up to keep an eye on me for the first several days at least... thanks in advance for any helpful info
Mid 30’s just started TRT because my numbers were in the low 300’s after a year of working out and trying to get them up. The aches and pains are gone and I’m more productive. And the wife feels the vigor. 😉
I've been on TRT since 2005. 16 years now. I think I needed it even in my 20's though I didn't figure out what might be the problem until 2005 when I was 39. I had kids...no boner problems or anything but damn I was tired and lethargic all the time. I was relieved when I figured out it was low T and excited that I might get to feeling better. I remember getting my first shot and lying in bed that night. I truly felt this rush through my body like a rocket launching lol.... Of course it was all placebo affect but thats how desperate I was to feel better. It took about 2 months to start feeling better and it seemed to get better and better over the years. I'm 54, I've had no negative side affects. I feel great. I go to the gym and can actually feel my muscles. I think the biggest fear people have of starting TRT is they do not want to starting taking something they will need the rest of their life. This makes no sense. You can stop anytime. Of course you likely will not stop because you feel so damn much better.
ur words are giving me some hope to start TRT. scared to start TRT though levels are at 233ng/DL.. it's cheap too in India, but the idea of LIFELONG and side effects are scaring me. But Yeah, 2005-2021 looks like solid years of experience that you are talking
@@sivakummarkollipara3713 many things are lifelong. Eating, sleeping ,putting on your clothes. It's not a big deal. If your testosterone levels were that low you've got to do it

@@transrus1 No, I have no idea what trt is. The channel owner paid me to write this. I don't do that kind of work anymore and I think most of the comments here are paid as well.
The 1st time I saw the video, I was like rally?! and then I watched again to get a complete understanding of the therapy. The pros and cons will help in deciding if we should go for it or not. Thanks for the video.
Aside from the sexual aspect it helps with anxiety, depression but also your A1C levels and can help reverse diabetes and lower it by burning excess fat…
Good luck. I dropped all the way down to 12ng and finally after having surgery and waiting, I’m getting TRT. Been a long year of hell with such low levels.
I'm 72 and been on TRT for 4 years. When I first went to the Dr I was checked in at about 280 level. Took pills under the tongue with mixed results. My T levels fluctuated a lot. I am now on Pellets {2nd- 4 month period} My level has been 700-800 and I feel great. It has helped me immensely. I used to be so tired I could hardly get out of my chair. I really am quite ACTIVE and it has helped with the brain fog. Love it. Little too frisky for my wife but she's a trooper.
I’m 41, my last testosterone level was 239. When I first went on trt, 5 years ago I had a test at 80ng/dL. It’s taken 2 years to get a doctor to treat my low t since my doctor moved. The average gp doesn’t know about testosterone therapy. I was sent for a cystoscopy that I didn’t need. Luckily the urologist put me back on trt. 4 months in and no longer grump, weak feeling or stressed out. Testosterone is a game changer and I’m never letting a doctor take me off of it again.
@@siriusblack7714 it costs about $80 every 2.5 months which is covered by my health care. I also get it from UGL at 3x concentration for the same price. If you go to a trt clinic it’s likely more expensive.
@donrotten4791 has your wife looked into HRT through an Integrative Health provider? IH providers seem to get HRT more so than primary care providers. And they use bioT so it’s safer. It’s been a game changer for my wife going through menopause. And I’m having to look into TRT because I can hardly keep up with her libido! We’re both 56. Also what is UGL that you mentioned is a cheaper source for T?
Wow. A lot of good information. Especially the natural T-boosters. My T-levels fluctuates between a low of 217 and 267, so clearly low. I finally have an endocrinologist who will prescribe me TRT but I wanted to do some more research before I take my first dose. I believe my starting dose is 200ml once a week. I did NOT know my body would quit producing testosterone so I'm now wishing I'd known about the natural boosters before. However, this video has only been available for less than a year and information good information is scarce! I'm with the VA and have been fighting to get testosterone for just about three years. I've had both physicians assistants refuse me (of course), but each of the three or four primary care doctors I've been through have fought me on it. My last one, when my T-level tested at 217(!) tried to tell me it had to be EIGHTY-NINE (89)!!!! before I could qualify for TRT!!! I told him that was the most RIDICULOUS THING I'D EVER HEARD! That loudly, too. He just stared at me. Then he told me only an endocrinologist could prescribe TRT for me. So I demanded a referral. He said he's send it in AND THEN DIDN'T! I was going to fight it but needed to concentrate on getting my hip replaced. Which was a whole OTHER drama. I finally got that done this past October - and received FANTASTIC CARE from the VA hospital in Las Vegas. But again, when I saw my primary in November, which is actually when he lied to me about needing an 89 T-level, he again said he'd send the referral but didn't. So instead I went through the pharmacist who was monitoring my diabetes because of all the complaints I had which could be either diabetes or testosterone related. She sent the referral which had to be with a local civilian doctor. He didn't take two minutes after talking to me and looking at my test results to prescribe testosterone cypionate for me. He asked me how I would have it administered. I said, "Hey! I'm a diabetic. I've been stabbing myself a couple times a day for nearly seven years. No biggie." "Great," he said. But still the VA slapped a delay on it, requiring copies of a bunch of his brand new records on me! So I took the script he gave me and had Walmart fill just two weeks worth. It costs me just $8.50 a dose, so no biggie! I'm planning on injecting it tomorrow. If anyone asks and I get a notification to remind me of this video, I'll give an update. Fingers crossed.
If you get on TRT learn to self inject. Otherwise you are going to the doctor every 2 weeks to get a shot...and they will charge you for that BS. I have my testosterone sent to me in the mail. Also, many doctors are very ignorant about testosterone. Mine used to give me injections every 3 weeks. Testosterone has a half life of about 8 days . Do the math . I was loading UP!....and then running out! If you self inject you can do it once a week and forget using Gels....been there. Trying to absorb testosterone through your skin is the dumbest and least affective way to administer it. I also eventually found a supplier so I can beef my dosages when I want to. Going camping or hiking this weekend? Why not boost your MOJO??
Hi sir,I am a 15yr old guy and I am 100% sure that I have low testestrone as I don't feel attractions or you could say love toward any girl,I don't feel excited about anything you could say I lost that emotion completely+I stay a little depressed and also I don't feel really happy about things+I only have one testicle as it was damged.It really sucks and I haven't even talked about it with my parents yet.I am thinking of getting a testestrone checkup on my own.Pls I really need your opinion.And also my sperm production is also not really well😥
I'm 35 and Just started TRT. I was ranging anywhere from 150-260. For years I thought the way I felt was just age... till I seen a Urologist. I'm looking forward to see what this gel does for me!
Jazmine Sanchez I just started, while I’m unable to go into detail I can tell you the basics.. it’s to help prevent you from becoming sterile if you are concerned about that as well as preventing your testicles from shrinking which is a side effect of TRT. If those don’t bother you then you not need HCG
Just had my bloodwork done Turns out my t level was a 84 An 84!!! I am 39 years old Almost 40 in a couple months An i have battled this low energy bad mood i stay exhausted anbit doesnt matter how much i sleep an all the other symptoms of low t for years now An i just now am to the point of tired of feeling this way that i made myself go get checked out I am so so hopeful that once i start my program that i will begin to feel better Man i am praying that it helps me I feel like my levels have been low my whole life at this point because ive battled this feeling for as long as i can remember an i think it has just become normal if that makes sense

What an amazing presentation. first time i'm seeing this channel and am already mind blown! I (29 year old male) just recently had my testosterone tested at a urologist/andrologist and when the doctor called me to say it's low enough (didn't run me through the actual results) to warrant TRT, without explanation of anything he immediately wanted me to make a decision between gel and injection. I haven't tried any of the natural methods to boost free T before, neither clomiphene, human chorion gonadotropin or any of the likes. there was no talk about the risks or prevention of heart problems, gynecomastia, hair loss or liver problems (given an injection) either. I'm considering cancelling the appointment to inform myself better on this topic before making such a life changing decision.
Good call. At 29, going on TRT is not a decision to make lightly. We made a supplement that has the core stuff you’ll want to optimize T (Zinc, Mag, D3, Boron, Ashwagandha)… this may help: store.fitfatherproject.com/products/fit-father-testosterone-booster-rx Also, definitely see if you can try a run on Clomiphene on its own… a lot of guys have great success using 25mg every other day for 4-6 weeks under doctor supervision to test lab work. This is something worth exploring for you before starting TRT. Also, optimize your sleep… work on improving stress levels as best you can… those are big factors alongside what I shared above. You got this brother. Blessings and Godspeed. 👊🏼
I to am 29, an have considered getting on TRT because of low energy/fatigue , have not gotten tested but deff going to , to make a better decision in doing so.
Great video! I am a RU-vidr in return of your great videos let me give you a tip after looking at your video Descriptions. If you add your time stamps like this 👇🏻RU-vid will add chapters to your videos automatically and they will show up on the video itself. It’s a neat trick I am not sure if you knew. All you have to this is add these in your video description as such 👇🏻 00:00 Always start with cero cero for YT to recognize it 02:14 Name of your Chapter 03:14 Name of your next chapter The time stamp is where in your video you talk about certain things
From my own experience : Clomid does NOT decrease estrogen, it increases it, along with testosterone. The longer the therapy, the higher the e2. Look it up, there are studies on this... Check your facts please
So clearly stated and well-explained. Best video I watched about TRT thus far. I was thinking of taking this, but having second thoughts if I really need this, but I wanted to gain muscle mass but I'm not getting any younger
i would wait until you absolutely have too, once you start it's a life thing try DHEA for a month or so. between blocking estrogen and not being abkle to ever come off i'd wait. until at least 60's
This is an informative and useful video about the TRT Therapy for Men. I have learned a lot about the pros and cons of Testosterone replacement Therapy. Thanks for sharing.
I am a 60 year old male. Have had TRT since 2015. I get the pellets, usually last 5 to 8 months for me. High energy, high sex drive, it works. Side effects for me , night sweats at times, get dizzy about the last month on it, guess pellets wearing off. I have PSA checked once a month. Your PSA will go up mine was around .5 to 1 when started. When get pellets it goes up to about 4. Never been more then that.
I’m in my mid twenties and was told I have low testosterone which came as a shock to me Im not super jacked but I take care of myself and I’m in the gym pretty often and I still chase tail every chance I get should I take try TRT or any other test booster??

I’m 37 and my test levels are at 400. Trier everything naturally and still nothing. My dr said I should be at least at 700ish. I’m alil scared doing TRT lol
Good discussion, for which I thank you. I'm age 62, went to bat against testicular cancer in January 1991, so I knew I was low on testo. My doctor ran the blood test and said I was at the low end of normal. He prescribed the TRT and I wanted to make sure it was safe as I lost both my parents to cancer and had it myself so I didn't want to invite any more health troubles than come our way naturally in life. Plus, I would get the indirect benefit for my bodybuilding efforts on which I guess have still done okay I guess, but my trouble is that I tend to compare my development to that of guys who are one-third my age and juicing. Anyway ... this discussion was very helpful.
How are you George? I had testicular cancer too, and I’m in the low end of normal as well, but I didn’t start trt yet because I’m worried about the side effects. After 4 years, are you still on trt? If yes, could you tell me your protocol and if you had any sides?
@@davidetre Thankfully no side effects. I’m still on the TRT gel, but I cut the dose to every other day as opposed to daily out of necessity due to the cost of the copay. I nearly fell over the time I was purchasing without insurance coverage due to my job loss and the clerk at the pharmacy told me the cost was $500 for the one bottle. In any case, my urologist tells me the testo blood test results are fine, well within the normal range, even with the aforementioned half dosage. I would mention, however, that the first two or three months of TRT, I went through an apparent adjustment phase in which I was feeling as though I were a panther in heat. Was also excessively irritable and nervous. Was insatiably craving of sexual gratification. My urologist confirmed that such symptoms were entirely normal. Those adjustment-phase symptoms were, indirectly, responsible for my job loss, but I believe my employer was aware of it and that’s why the termination was handled in the most gracious manner possible. Thankfully the symptoms subsided once my system became accustomed to the TRT. Hopefully your urologist will run the appropriate blood tests every six months, including the PSA test. I’ll keep positive thoughts that your experience with TRT will be trouble-free.
Hey... I share basically the same story. I had a tests removed for cancer at 25, in 1985. Here I am in my sixties and I literally have every symptom he mentioned. My testosterone level is at 131. I just can't imagine the symptoms getting any worse. As far as hair loss, I think woman are actually really attracted to more than ever! My issue is I just turned 65, and got on MediCare.. I don't think they will help with any cost and TRT is NOT cheap!!!
@@tenhomebuyers5313 feeling better. Been taking injections dose is up to 200 mg every two weeks. One downside is usually around day 10 I feel like I crash, mood and emotions kinda off and feel tired and lethargic. Actually talked to my dr today and going to start using a testosterone gel tomorrow. Supposed to be alot more consistent
I have piriformis syndrome, and want more muscle. Want to heal and rebuild and build more muscles.. energy and vigor to be a better papa!! Anyone know a source in Toronto?
68 years old. I've been self-injecting ~100mg/week for about 6 years now. Easy to do. Good results. Testosterone levels returned to normal very quickly upon starting TRT. When Hematocrit goes up to ~52, I decrease the dose for a while to lower the RBC, but quite a few docs (online) say this does not matter very much at all.
I am 59 feel pretty much like LowT is the symptoms I have, but Urologist says I have to be under 300 for these symptoms to be really LowT. I think he is irrefutably wrong. Everyone's range may differ, someone typically at 600 goes to 400 that's their lowT from the research I have been doing. Am I missing something?
