I'm 54 yrs old when I started TRT my test was at 100. 4 months later it was 615. And my hematocrit went to 56.3 I was feeling fine, but Doc said I had to come off. I fired him!!!. Found someone who knew what he's doing.

[@killerb5726]

So how did your new doctor deal with this? I just got my results back before going on TRT, I’m at 51.8. Hoping the doctor doesn’t pull the treatment. Also don’t want to have a heart attack either.

[@raymonddelira90]

@@killerb5726 I found another doc. Had me donate blood. Just make sure you drink plenty of water before having blood work done

[@raymonddelira90]

@@killerb5726 he told me to make sure I drink plenty of water before taking the hematocrit test. And to start taking fish oil . I have dropped down to 51. Going in a couple of weeks to get rechecked.

[@dacripe]

Good info. I agree with his first point. I went to my doctor a few months ago because of brain fog since it was an unusual symptom at 45. I had the other symptoms for a long time (probably since my early 20s), but brain fog is what led me to figure out I had low T. For me, TRT fixed the ED I was experiencing and really increased my libido to be even more than what I had as a teen. My high libido wife of 17 years is a big fan of TRT. LOL

Dr. Grant is a wealth of knowledge. Thanks for having him on again.

I have been on since July of last year. I don't feel great, but I have not strayed far from my original dose. I'm so glad I found this channel. I have been worried because my doctor hasn't done labs, and honestly, I feel like I know more than him. You have relieved a great deal of my anxieties with what you say about estrogen and many other things in this video. I look forward to diving in and learning more. Thank you for taking the time to help. It is needed more than ever. People are listening to the wrong sources and making the wrong choices. Straightforward, accurate information is all I need. I'm not trying to play guesswork with my health.

[@BARBELLS-AND-BUDS]

I think people that injections end up with a hih hematocrit and RBC etc because their levels are elevated to the same number 24/7. People on cream or maybe propionate or oral testosterone have peaks and troughs daily to their levels which probably makes the large difference even with regards to estrogen levels as well as HCT

It's almost inposably to get the docs or the clinics to help its all about the numbers not about how you feel in the UK. I have tried everything even the Tongan all n it tanked my t to 8.8 from 13.7 I felt awful also my cortisol is low but not low enough for the guidelines it like 1 above a low level at 9 am .am tired of feeling like this 😢

[@betterplacetobe7896]

I started TRT 5 years ago at 100mg/week. Was in upper range but was not feeling 100% , my doctor didn’t want to give me more do I personally add 100mg so 200mg total. I do bloodwork 3 times per year, check blood pressure 3-4 times per week, ECG and everything is optimal so I keep it at 200mg/week, I pin 4x per week

[@duitsland2756]

Is testosteron cream causing less of a testosteron spike than androgel? Im on androgel. When they take blood 2 hour's after applying the gel im to high. I did a blod test after 24 hour's and there i was on the bottom of the normal range.

[@usasupra23]

My 2 Cents for general info for new guys: 27g too 31G and do Delts, Belly, Glute. 27G for glute 29 for delts and 29G/31G for belly. Delts IM I feel gets absorbed way faster and needs to be done every 3 days and SubQ is slower absorb and can go 4/5 days max. This is of course with does ranging from .25-.50 of 200mg Cyp.

[@TRTandHormoneOptimization]

If a man is on TRT, how long on it would natural production not be able to recover if a person stopped treatment?

I am on trt at 57yo. Would using Hcg have other benifits ? Does hcg help produce other hormones besides testosterone. I had a vasectomy years ago. Will taking hcg help with erectile function ?

[@Leandromanducci]

dr, I've been taking TRT for many years, at a dose of 150mg of testosterone per week, which gives me 1100ng of testosterone, recently my doctor changed it to 250mg of sustanon every 10 days, I've been feeling a lot of mood swings, especially in the fall, a lot of aggression, and terrible mood. Can this difference in applications generate this symptom? I have 12% body fat, can I apply intramuscular injection to the deltoids with an insulin needle? 13x4 needle, this makes it a lot easier, as my deltoids already have some fibrosis due to repetitive applications. Do you recommend any other application points? because I apply it myself, and I can't do it on the glutes.

It's not needed. Huge myth

[@usasupra23]

@@ChristopherMaier.understandable but every gym rat on juice I’ve met to date all donate as a SOP and say it’s a must once the Hemo hits near 50. My thought is donating dilutes you and sets you back hence why I’m asking who is rite here. I’m only a TRT old man user so it may not apply to me

[@SD-unlimited]

I’m struggling to find an answer to this question: do any men stop TRT as they get to an advanced age? If I’m 60 and begin TRT do I continue until my last days? Or, do men taper off as they reach 80, 85, etc? My understanding is that it’s a life long commitment but I haven’t seen anyone speak to later stages in life. Any real world information on this is greatly appreciated.

[@darrinuhl8103]

This is a good question. If you wind up wheelchair bound at age 85 in a nursing home, will you still be pinning? I imagine the body would still need at least some extraneous testosterone.

[@SD-unlimited]

@@darrinuhl8103 Precisely. All the benefits sound great but if I feel terrible now, what happens at an advanced age after the boys have been dormant for 20-25 years? I don’t think a few IU’s of HCG will have an effect but who knows. Plus, if they’re producing a reduced amount of testosterone now, I presume it’s highly unlikely they’ll have any capacity for production a couple decades down the road. Basically I’m really curious to hear how men at an advanced age are benefiting from TRT, what the complete plan is and/or how they’re managing this into final years. I mentioned to my wife that if it’s given someone an elixir-like effect, especially at an advanced age, why would you want to stop? But, does it end up being a situation where you inject one day and simply don’t wake up the next because your time has come? I imagine there is info out there but I have yet to find it. Seems like an important piece of the puzzle to me.

[@usasupra23]

Why did you guys not touch on micro dosing of Tadalafil while on TRT?? Very common I see a Dr script for 2.5 to 5mg per day of this for overall health benefits. For many I hear it gives them severe back and pelvis pains but will go away after a month. So they just take it every other day to avoid that pain at first. Thoughts????

Thanks for your work guys. Seems like 99% of the providers highly recommend shots over anything else. I like the idea of cream though. You two are a minority for cream. What kind of arguments would you argue for cream over shots, nasal spray (hear nasal lowers the increased red blood cell risk), etc.? TIA
