Negative Effects of Testosterone Replacement Therapy | Paul Chek

[@MrHarryc727]

I am so happy to see you Paul. I have respected your work for over 15yrs.YOur swiss ball techniques are nutz.

[@stephenkirby7203]

Seriously so refreshing to see a fitness influencer not pushing TRT. It’s insanely overprescribed these days . I get it it makes you feel better.. so does cocaine . Great to see someone who believes not jumping on the easy fix is the right answer .. I get it some guys actually need it but I bet about only 1 in 10 scripts are men that truly need it . TRT docs pushing it because it pays the bills for sure

[@mattwells5022]

Paul Check knows exactly what he's saying. Trt and roids are the same thing used for the same purpose just different excuses.

[@wisamsleiman3652]

Paul chek is correct good guest 😊

[@adambarden756]

I am 100% way more calmer on Trt. My lifestyle is being managed better ie eatting cleaner and minimal drinking due to being on Trt and wanting change.

[@NaturalMeAmerica]

I am 63 same age as Chek. I got many of my conti uing education credits by taking course on Cheks core training science . The mannus self taught,and at first was consideted a quack in the fitness industry. But today his books are required reading for all physical therapy national certs

[@TheBigUsualSuspect]

that range between 17 and 50 is ridiculous

[@opulentsounds]

I’m on an age mngmt program. We constantly monitor it like a religion(testosterone, DHEA and Sermorellin) I eat well and don’t drink or use drugs. I’m 57 I don’t care what anyone says. It’s a game changer for me and my body is running optimally. I do have a sweet tooth. The way I look at it is this, if your body is not running optimally and hormones imbalanced, then your immune system is vulnerable and compromised. IMO

[@SubSonicDistortion]

That is correct, anyone on TRT with a legit Dr. has to go thru a lot to stay/get on it. You have to be seen a lot, tested a lot, and scrips are for as low a dose as possible to get you into a healthy range. Most if not all men going on it are not making the hormone anymore so taking shots changes nothing, your not making it anyway so your messing up nothing. But as you know I bet you have less pain, better private life activity, and better energy/mood. I also bet your body fat is less and your health levels improved when taking a physical and blood work. TRT is a game changer for men who are legit low. If you are not low yes TRT is bad, this is for men who are LOW as you indicated and are seeing great results. Cheers for being wise and educating, the rest here and the guest are 100% wrong.

What a load of nonsense.

[@mr.monitor.]

Comparing steroid use vs trt is not intelligent or rational. Some people need it due to many factors of modern living. Testosterone levels are lower than ever before all around the world.

[@quantumfx2677]

If all means are looked into to fix the problems to get your natural test to good levels first! If for some reason you can't then yes. Now, what young kids are doing is getting trapped into using steroid cycles and not wanting to lose gains staying on TRT or young kids using steroids and coming off not liking how they feel or not using hcg or something to jump start their natural testosterone back will be stuck using TRT. But, my personal opinion and some that are anti testosterone are not going to like or agree with what I say, but as a man gets older and drops his testosterone down a bit can decide to either live with it or do what this man is doing to constantly keep it up by lifestyle than more power to you but, I don't really care what he says the truth is those men that are older using TRT will always have an advantage over those that don't use TRT! Even if they feel good with where their natural testosterone is at. But but the TRT side effects? If you do TRT correctly you will not deal with any side effects! Now, he is not going to out perform a older man on TRT! Nor will he build and maintain the quality of muscle like a older man on TRT! And you NATTYs are not going to like to hear this but Yes! A older man on TRT that resistance weight trains with a proper diet is going to out live the guy that isn't on TRT even if they both resistance train. TRT will hold on to quality muscle that is critical for longevity and will help preserve and protect them if for some reason they would get sick. Many are not going to like to hear that and will try to dig to argue or say my uncle bob never used TRT and he lived to 100. There is a difference on being 90 and active then being 90 and can't get up but a 90 yr old man is never going to be able to do what a 90 yr old man on TRT can do or hold on to the extra muscle that is needed for longevity! Not happening! We are seeing the same arguments with vegan's vs meat eaters and so on!

[@SubSonicDistortion]

@@quantumfx2677 No licensed Dr. would ever see a young man and give him TRT. That is wrong to say. If a kid comes in asking 99% of Dr. will tell them NO, so that is just spreading false info.

[@russscala5933]

Understand every male is Biochemically unique one dosing or delivery system will not work for everyone,, don't treat testosterone in isolation, think the HPAG axis ,

[@salfetka]

Yes but to me TRT is test level top up to the max possible a man can naturally have. Some people though inject 1,000 mg which is way, way higher than naturally possible which is not TRT but roid use

[@SubSonicDistortion]

@@salfetka I think when folks discuss TRT they need understand 99% of those on TRT are under a Dr. care. Any licensed Dr. will write a minimal dose to achieve a decent level, say 400-900 range. The goal is to lesson pain, correct potential ED issues, and offer more energy and potential fat loss and muscle gain. A typical dose is around 0.5 weekly thru injection and should remain at this, going higher does not give better results actually can cause negative ones. The key take away is educating the patient that more is not better, that a small dose that keeps your levels in a mid-range is the goal. Yes it can help exercise but that is not the goal of shots, the goal is prevention and wellness, giving the patient a better life by feeling better. Actually most taking TRT are working out more, have better moods, and lower rates of HBP and other morbidities. Abuse can and will happen and that is with any drug, some may abuse TRT and take 4x the dose, but they are not the normal person and give a bad name to what can be a great treatment for men. I just wish people drew a line between good treatment and abuse.

[@Rickwayne-m7t]

Man that hat is distracting 😂

[@kev4421]

Trt is the same thing as juicing it's just "legal" through your dr... there is a few reasons why God designed mens bodies to have lower test levels as you age... prostate issues are at the top of this. Also your heart... is a muscle.. how many pro wrestlers died with enlarged hearts now? If you want to be masculine as you age you stay lean and you work out, beyond that it's just mindset.. like it or not your gonna get old someday..

[@SubSonicDistortion]

You have zero clue as to what your talking about, lol your 100% wrong and if you educated yourself you would know. What I hear you saying is straight from some wives tale. TRT and Steroid users are not the same, do you even have a clue as to dose? Do you know what a dr. writes weekly verse what a body builder users? LOL your beyond wrong. People who die of a heart attack due to roids are taking dose levels 20x that of what TRT patients are using, and they also take numerous other agents that TRT patients are NOT taking. Its this sort of ignorance that drives people away from a treatment that can change their life.

[@Iron-and-strings]

for craps sake, there is a massive difference between 100-200 mg of testosterone a week and steroid abuse via high levels of testosterone that are at times over 1000mg a week plus other substances like tren or anadrol. enlarged hearts are a function of abuse and the link to prostate problems has been debunked from trt. do some research man

Drinking a glass of wine is the same as drinking a fifth of liquor with that rationality. Low T is a death sentence, a huge red flag at any age. RFK is in amazing shape for his age as an example....
