WATER RETENTION AND TRT part 2. How to minimise Water Retention on TRT.

[@QuantumOfSolace1]

Week 4 - gained 8 pounds - and retaining water- no increase in caloric intake. Feet are slightly swollen. Thats my gauge.

[@omg_wtf]

Not a common side effect? Seems like its standard that everyone increases water retention a bit. I've gone up 8lbs in two weeks

[@xladder3972]

how are u managing? i get a big fat moon face, and ive naturally skinny all over my body otherwise, no other bloating just my face

[@omg_wtf]

@@xladder3972 definitely settled down and not noticeable now

[@featuretheprince5266]

When it comes to water retention. I find that dandelion root works best for the issue.

[@Sunny15511]

Can u keep taking dandelion root everyday? Should u be drinking more water cuz it takes water out?

[@epsavoy]

The water gain is definitely estrogen related. In my first 6 weeks I gained 8 lbs and my nipples swole and became sensitive

[@balancemyhormones]

It's important to be aware of how your body responds to different factors. Thank you for sharing your experience!

[@MultiStar84]

It’s about my 6 week on trt and my hunger is starting to go through the roof. However, I’m doing steady state cardio everyday and Also strength training 5 times a week but am doing awesome in the gym. My diet is a lot of low calorie dense foods but at night just catch myself going in (which I used to be sold to refrain from) I’ve heard that this is normal because the body needs a lot more fuel for muscles and that the fat won’t store like before as long as training is involved- is this fairly normal?

[@epsavoy]

Yes! This is normal and your appetite will level off about 12 weeks.

[@epsavoy]

You will also know how to dial in the treatment after your first followup bloodwork at 10 weeks

[@epsavoy]

Im due for my followup bloodwork tomorrow. I e been going under the initial reccomended dosage at 100 mg/wk. whatbdose are you taking?

[@CFLDumpsters]

@6:57 what was he saying? What was the blockers or inhibitors he mentioned? He was hard to understand, sorry. If someone is supplementing with potassium, b6, b complex, magnesium and cutting out processed carbs but still retaining water what’s the solution? 100mg a week

[@johno6800]

No idea, i tried listening about 10 times and gave up

[@populationyoubro2020]

Spironalactone, it’s a diaretic

[@brandaonb4249]

All these vids just "talk about what is going on," but don't give us any real concrete answers. Very odd.

[@mattinnj979]

Do Keto, sweat, sauna, & cardio. Take dandelion root. Got it

[@LamouR1337]

all things related to sweat doesnt working (for me).i take trt for 6 month, estradiol and prolactin are in normal references and testosterone is high. cant lose weight cause of water retention. i do every day cardio and crossfit and while im doing it almost all the water going but when exercises are finished water is back. going to try take more of potassium hope it's gonna be working

[@brandaonb4249]

@@LamouR1337 Are you fasting? Workout first thing in the morning on an empty stomach.

[@omg_wtf]

​@@brandaonb4249what will that achieve?

[@jeffclark6202]

I started using T gel for a couple of weeks . Early 60s. I gained a few pounds and didn't think too much about it until my face got swollen and my calves got tight. I went up 12 lbs and had to quit. A week later I was back down to normal. I guess trt isn't for me.

[@LoveFactorySweatShop]

switch to injections. The gels spikes you T level very high very quickly, which your body responds to by over converting to E2, which causes the bloat.

[@doctorb9264]

What about the supplement DIM to combat high estrogen levels in men ?

[@brandaonb4249]

Snakeoil.

[@nicholaspookia9985]

guys talk a lot about water retention general, but how about the result of the problem ?

[@balancemyhormones]

Water retention can definitely be a common concern. It's important to address the root cause to prevent any further issues.

[@david029014]

I'm on keto and omad, started trt and gained 8 lbs in water in 2 weeks! Need help.

[@tennesseemattoutdoors5405]

Same.. ankles look like pregnant woman. Im giving the dr time to set his amount to level out and let the dr get my dose down low as possible. Pre treatment free testosterone was 264. It was at 1278 on my 7th week bloodwork. Obviously I didn’t stay at same dose I’ll see how it goes but I already feel better just one week after the dose dropped.

What are your thoughts on dim and cal d on 23mg Cypionate daily. Is it necessary on such a low dose protocol?

[@georgetoul]

Just started DIM along with Chrysin

[@qsdailydose8970]

George Touliatos MD thanks doc idk if it’s helping me or hurting me. I’m on 23mg Cypionate daily T only and 100mg dim and 500mg cal d twice a day I feel great but libido and erections could improve I refuse to take AI here are my latest labs on 25mg Daily TT 1072 (250-1100) FT 260 (46-224) E2 68 (

[@Dlindo8892]

Your erection and libido issues could be your dose being too high. I had that problem and it was my dose.

[@qsdailydose8970]

DL Indo I think you’re right bro and water retention and sluggishness. But how much should I lower to??

[@qsdailydose8970]

DL Indo what is your current protocol?

[@tblightningbolt8902]

Your hair brother. Not a good selling point for trt. How high is your DHT?

[@balancemyhormones]

Not all men experience MPB or androgentic alopecia with added androgens like TRT. Many men have a fear of hair loss which is something genetically programmed so Adding TRT to improve symptoms in other areas more than compensates for cosmetic concerns and for something that would happen anyway if you’re prone to it.

[@Ron20042004]

Choose quality of life and feeling good over hair. Your vanity is not a good look either.

[@TheSubzero1991]

Nebido caused me water gain fuck.....

[@alluv9583]

Did it eventually go away? Because I’m in same position right at the moment😕

[@Kikwatz]

Every few weeks or even months Nebido?
