The Most IMPORTANT Meds in Bodybuilding! | Steroids and Blood Pressure Meds | Telmisartan, Nebivolol

All Bodybuilders using steroids should be taking this health medications! In this video, I highlight important pathways in the body that lead to negative health effects from steroids. We discuss what effects steroids can have on health (this includes the heart, kidneys and blood pressure). Then we come up with possible ways to combat these side effects. We also take a look at the logic behind using meds like Telmisartan and Nebivolol.

Yes, I am definitely interested in further information.

[@NicholasDowney]

Perfect will do the next video

[@banglawillie]

next video would be welcomed alot as all ur content is massively needed for the community

[@NicholasDowney]

Thank you! I will

[@TheFukwitz]

Look foward to the series. Great video

[@NicholasDowney]

Thank you!

[@ChrisKpl]

As always great video! Another topic you could cover are lipid lowering medications for aas users (statins, ezetimib, pcsk-9 inhibitors etc.).

[@NicholasDowney]

Thank you! I will do that

[@dlloydy5356]

Bring on the second video Dr Nick!

[@NicholasDowney]

Haha will do

[@xpejmanx]

Masterfully explained, great stuff

[@NicholasDowney]

Much appreciated!

The best ace inhibitor is perindopril. I've looked at all of the data and it has the least side effects for the AI's, while also being lipophilic, long lasting and potentiating dopaminergic neurotransmission. People in the BB industry need to realize that the others are simply worse. Just like Telmisartan is the best ARB due to it's molecular targets. Great summary!

[@Kovalser]

Azilsartin is actually the best ARB

[@soez_strg6166]

@@Kovalser That's in your opinion, bro. What I said is stated on the research.

Candesartan

Another great video, are u able to go more in depth on aldosterone causing cardiac remodeling independent of high bp?

[@PashkaTLT]

Nicholas, when we mention Aspirin I think it's very important to also mention that since it's NSAID, it's bad for GI and can lead to stomach ulcers. It's a non-selective COX inhibitor. Selective COX-2 inhibitors (celebrex, etoricoxib, etc.) are easier on the stomach, but not completely harmless (like reducing the risk of stomach ulcers by 30-50% compared to non-selective NSAIDs, off the top of my head). I got 2 stomach ulcers after I started taking non-selective NSAIDs daily for my chronic arthritis pain (it took months, but still). One way to reduce the bad effect of NSAIDs on the stomach is to reduce the amount of acid in the stomach with something like Pantoprazole, but again, it will not solve the issue completely, but just reduce the bad effect. So if someone does have GI issues (gastritis) or has a history of ulcers/stomach cancer in the family, I'd be very careful with Aspirin.

[@malchir4036]

The difference here is dosage. 40mg usually does not lead to stomach issues.

[@NicholasDowney]

Definitely is important to consider. It’s all about weighing risks vs benefit

[@betterplacetobe7896]

For me Test alone doesn’t have effect on blood pressure. I will like this new series, always interesting and very educational. Keep up the good work Nick.

[@NicholasDowney]

Thank you so much!

[@LMB8708]

For TRT users that don’t necessarily have a hypertension diagnosis, what about the use of natural nitric oxide boosters such as L Citrulline?

[@NicholasDowney]

I’m sure that could assist with blood pressure, if it is true TRT then there shouldn’t be issues with angiotensin 2 levels and such

[@patelfitness8845]

Waiting for the video on ACE/ARB/CCB/BB resistent high blood pressure :D

I’m working on it! Have been swamped at work the past 2 weeks. Hope it’s worth the wait!

Thanks for the video. Are you DR. as in MD or Chiropractor?

[@zammonster6413]

Hes a MD

[@WaskularnyPrawnik2003]

By saying that testosterone stimulates RAA system you generally meant androgens ? I mean for example I’m currently running a cycle on small amount of test 250, but on the other hand I run 500 eq and 50 turinabol ed and my BP drastically went up. While running test alone I didn’t notice any BP changes. I’m really considering arbs meds cause nothing helps including cardio, healthy diet, supplements, water. Again great video doc

[@adamlilja2853]

I got same problem bro

[@Pitviper73]

I'm on 80mg of Telamasartin and 5mg of Nebivolol per day.

Any side effects?

Hello sir what is your opinion in this case useing amlodipin with atenolol?????

[@dlloydy5356]

Really interesting. Love the real doctor stuff from a real doctor not gym bro science....having said that a fair few seem clued up however there’s no way of knowing if it’s correct. The human equivalent of underground labs? 😂

Thanks! I’m sure if some are reputable! As long as claims are not unsubstantiated!

[@gif24gt60]

What happens if u have normal aldosterone but low renin? Causes? Treatments?

[@evilcat7661]

Any dose recommendations? 40 tel and 2.5 Nebivolol is what I use on a blast

[@NicholasDowney]

I just titrate the dose of the drugs to effect. If blood pressure if controlled then it should be helping out with everything else. That’s my assumption

What if your blood pressure was not high but you still had anxiety

[@NicholasDowney]

There really isn’t much of a guide line at this point, my thought process leads to using ARBs if doses are higher than typical TRT. But there’s no science to support this currently

[@andrewwright.]

check estrogen, high E2 will cause anxiety....so will low E2. hormones are just rubbish lol

Without constant blood donation, how do we combat high RBC when using testosterone? Is something like IP6 effective?

I think cupping might help

So if you got anxiety from steroids that would be from the need of ace inhibitors ?

it means it's time to do blood work

Dude I’m I’m taking losartan and telmisartan and amlodupine and it doesn’t touch my blood pressure, any ideas of what to try next ?

What should we take to manange the mineralocorticoid receptor?

I’ll chat about it in the next video

[@ionut4k280]

What about ezetemib

[@guchierrez]

Amazing information, I am glad we have doctors spreading awareness on damage reduction when it comes to steroids usage, instead of plainly condoning it. On that note: Doc, could you make a video on using DHT derivatives as aromatase inhibitors? DHT appears to decrease estrogen-induced RNA transcription and I was wondering if that is true for DHT derivatives. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/6645492/
