Debunking the myths associated with testosterone replacement therapy | Dr Rand McClain

On this week’s episode of the Escape Your Limits podcast, we are joined by Dr Rand McCain, aka ‘The Longevity Doctor’ to explore whether death is predetermined by genetics or whether we can make informed lifestyle choices that extend health span and override the influence of our genes.
Dr. McClain earned his medical degree at Western University and completed his internship at the University of Southern California’s Keck School of Medicine Residency Program (U.S.C. California Hospital) and has spent his professional life redefining what it means to be in optimal health. Having established his own practice, Regenerative and Sports Medicine Dr McClain supports his patients (many of which are A-List celebrities and world-class athletes) through the application of cutting edge treatments and philosophies including bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT), hyperbaric oxygen therapy, cryotherapy, platelet rich plasma and stem cell therapies.
In his recent book, ‘Cheating Death: The New Science of Living Longer and Better’, Dr McClain reveals fresh, science-backed approach to genetics, natural aging, and proactive medical treatments and discusses how to access to these therapies to jumpstart their body’s regenerative processes. Bolstered with research and recovery stories from real people, Cheating Death gives readers the tools to live healthier, longer lives.
In this highlights video, Dr McClain talks about:
• The myths around the dangers of taking testosterone supplements
• The research that debunked the myths
• Testosterone replacement therapy causes liver cancer - fact or fiction?
• The links between prostate cancer, testosterone and estrogen

Medical world doesn't want fit, healthy, happy older men - that's dangerous to the status quo and will lose a load of money to other drugs/medical services. Luckily, studies into test use in transgender people, which is really well funded (politically advantageous currently) is/will advance the field exponentially.

Good show, but finding a doctor willing to give TRT is difficult. Here, if your level is anything near 375-400, you're not getting anything.

[@CatamaranChannel]

You have to go private and pay out of pocket, in most places.

[@waynecreyaufmiller2098]

Todays Drs aren’t educated in hormones or testosterone. But there are some but you have to find them.

Where’s “here”? In US it’s easy to get dr. And if where you fee they believe under 500 is okay, I wouldn’t trust that ignorant dr to treat me for anything. 😂

[@baronvonhoughton]

You don't need a Dr to get testosterone my friend.

TRT NOT FOR ME!! Low carb paleo and strength training, 3 years in, age 69 my testosterone is 519, BTW with one testicle. 😂

[@bige2012]

how nice. glad you function okay @ 519, because for most that’s really low.

[@ninjaworrier7308]

​@@bige2012 I would not call 519 low, certainly at 69 years old. However, for some it takes a higher number to have symptom resolution.

[@bige2012]

@@ninjaworrier7308 it is considered low, for an active fit male doing weight training. That's what I'm speaking too. Most male hormone dr. look for 800-1000, for my age, 57, and activity level.
