Watch This BEFORE Taking Testosterone - Dr. Berg

[@beelikemizu604]

I'm 52, have almost never skipped a weekly crippling leg day workout (squat predominant, accessory additions) in the past 8 years, and still have good natural testosterone production as a result. 8 hours of sleep in addition to this has kept me good so far. Maybe later I'll need supplementation, but a great leg day keeps me going strong at this age 👍

[@ClarkPotter]

Why not just spread your leg exercises across the week?

@@ClarkPotter Everybody's needs are different, I prefer not to spend more days in the gym than necessary, and I just like to get legs over with in 1 day vice spread out because it is the most challenging of all my workouts both mentally & physically. I only hit specific muscle groups once a week because that's what works for me and I like it that way. My point was getting a good lower body workout consistently instead of the traditional arms , abs & chest focus helps maintain my natural testosterone levels without the need for supplementation.

Ive been on testosterone (TRT) now for over 10 yrs now with the help of a GOOD doctor. I started in my late 50s when my levels were low. Brain fog was terrible lack of labito and just sluggish. It's been a game changer. I can still run a 10 minute mile to this day push ups all day long and my wife has been happy in the bedroom for years. When prescribed you get your blood tested every (3) months and a complete panel of blood labs. Most normal people don't get their blood tested for years apart or until something is wrong. They run FULL labs every 3 months. The labs show everything. It tells you how your liver kidneys ect are doing. You monitor your hemoglobin and hemocrit ( your red blood cells) The goal is to only take what you need to get to your happy place. It's funny how they will prescribe a young girl hormones in a second but not a man. TRT has to be prescribed thru a good doc who knows about TRT. Lots of them are just figuring it out. It will give you your life back. As far as memory testosterone is a must. If you're older and under 300 when tested go find a good doctor and talk to them about getting helped.

How's it going now

[@rudozoltan]

I experimented with TRT for 4 months couple years ago (I was 29), here is my experience: First of all I do heavy lifting + have very high protein diet for 15 years so Iam quite muscular and strong (but never tried T or any other steroids), had zero intention to improve my physique or strenght from T, it was all about feeling bc I was feeling little bit down at that time. Did all my bloodwork before (T, free T, prolactin, E2 etc), my T was at 310 so very low. Started doing 1x weekly 200mg Enanthate injections into my quads, after week or so holy cow I felt great, literally everything got better, my sleep, my mood (drastically, I had great mood all day everyday), energy levels, libido, confidence etc...After month I did bloodwork again, my T was 1500 which is too high, I was aiming for 800-1200 (more natural levels), decided to try doing it little bit differently bc those quad injections hurted as hell sometimes. So Ive tried subcutaneous injections into belly fat and shoulders with little insulin needle - this is literally pain-free. Did only 30mg enanthate 3x weekly. I felt even better even though smaller doses, but I would attribute it to the longer usage time. After next month my T was 980 so exactly where I wanted to be, and again, continuited 3x30mg/w for next 2 months. I was feeling extremely good like I mentioned before, also my stress tolerance was amazing, I was just so calm for whole time. Now the bad stuff - I felt my prostate is getting bigger, had urge to pee everytime, weaker flow. Balls shrinkage, yes thats real, after 1-2 months they were maybe 20% smaller and you can even feel it not just see it 😂 And the most important - you are sterile on T, your balls just shut off, thats also reason why I stopped, wanted to try it, yes it works, those adverse effects could be managed little bit but Iam planning kids in near future. Did PCT with clomid and HCG after this, felt really shitty for like 2-3 weeks but then you will normal again, your balls will start again if you are not very long on T and everything gets back to normal. Iam from EU so official TRT is almost non existent here, my doctor even laughed at me when I mentioned I want my T tested "you cant have low T with your muscles", apparently thats BS. Had to do it my own way, but it was great experience, I dont know if I felt that good even in my 20s 😂 I certainly plan to go on TRT again after my 40-50s and kids, I hope it will be common here then. Also very important thing, I studied this for like 50hrs, read a lot of studies, wrote a lot of notes, dont do it if you dont know what are you doing.

I can almost guarantee you that your Testosterone was never 980 naturally, that is the trap most people get into when they get TRT. Many/most guys were never over 450/500 and now at a later age they are at 1000, not natural for most, meaning you may feel better and now have muscle you never could achive when you were younger, if you now weight train. Now the side effects will sneak up and potentially make you wish you never touched it.

Anecdotal data here, I know but, I took trt for a year. My prostate grew to the point of affecting urinary flow. I found a urologist who put me on antibiotics. I had symptoms during and after antibiotic use. I asked if there could be a connection and he said that testosterone doesn’t do that and I’m just one of the unlucky men who experience bhp early in life. I wasn’t buying it so I stopped trt and formulated a supplement protocol based on information gleaned from Dr Berg and others for prostate health. Symptoms immediately went away and improved over the next year. Getting the boys to restart test was another story. I had imaging done which involved being violated through the front and back.

I am 42, tried to do a great diet and exercise for 14 years, blood work was always perfect, at 40 I was told I have the heart of a 28 year old during a suggested check up (anxiety caused a odd test) and now I've been on TES for a few years. It literally changed my life. Turns out my number had been low all those years, like super low. Nothing I did ever increased it or helped it. I take zinc and D, I couldn't imagine living like I was, now I'm able to do a lot more physical work like I did when I was 20.

You'd do yourself a favor symptom wise if you switched to 100units per week. Or even better 50 units twice a week. Your symptoms and mood will stabilize.

[@wreagfe]

@@WereAllThatBored Agreed. Depending on the kind of testosterone Enanthate (4-5)/Cypionate (7-8) or propionate (2-3) the half-life differs significantly. So even though 200 is not that high as such, it does give you long peaks and long troughs.

Taking testosterone is not just taking testosterone. 1. Take boron, this block testosterone receptors so your free testosterone stays high (super important). 2. Blood work. Check estrogen (E2) levels. If high, get arimidex. Stops testosterone conversion to estrogen. One you get these in balance, watch out!! You will be off the charts. My cholesterol went down, body fat down, energy high. Hematocrit went up a bit. Give blood, lowers hematocrit. All easy fixes. Well worth it, trust me. The high estrogen is what kills everything.

The biggest issue with TRT is how easily and quickly men turn to it before changing their lifestyle to improve their natural hormone levels. Pharmaceutical shortcuts for everyone before even knowing why they have low testosterone to begin with. Why make an effort when you can reach for pills and needles? I am seeing men in their 30s taking TRT. This is insane, and only reflects how badly they managed their health through lifestyle choices. STOP BEING LAZY! They will find out the impacts of pharmaceutical addiction later in life, and it won't be pretty. And don't turn your physical training into yet another addiction and be competitive and over train without recovery, or your hormone levels will tank yet again.

[@utawamaru]

they are not taking TRT - they just take Test for getting jacked. TRT is an excuse - I know because I see plenty of people as I myself am on TRT due to many factors including clinically proved hypogonadism, one question is enough to see if someone's bullshitting me about TRT - and 99% of people do. Same as girls in gym claiming being natural and taking actually meds for diabetes like metformin, growth hormone or oxandrolone. but I'm not surprised why people reach for supplements like those - you get your body faster to the point you're happy about, so you achieve your physical goal faster, and also it makes you feel good, etc. especially in this cesspool known as "citylife" where everyone are running like racing rats and get depressed on every corner. Aleo side-effects are much lower than taking coke, amfetamine, etc.

[@stephtraveler7378]

Good stuff Doc. Dosing is the key. And it takes trail and error to get to the right dosage. The clinic really needs to know what they are doing AND you need to be an advocate for your own care and dosing. In my experience, they tend to over-estimate the dosage at first and you get T results that are like an 18 year old kid...Which has its own issues. Get the dosage right and then you only need to address the hair loss.... yeah, it can happen due to a by product. But, for those of us w/ naturally low T, its been a game changer.

Doctor Berg, I’m a long time sub of your channel and enjoy all of your videos I’m 35 and had my testosterone levels checked about 4 months ago. My total testosterone was VERY low and I was initially on the fence in regards to taking testosterone but I’ve found a very professional clinic with a very good doctor who monitors the situation and it takes them a few weeks or more to get the amount of testosterone you need dialed in. These are weekly testosterone cypionate shots that are administered to the glutes (butt cheeks) I’ve never had a beard but now have a full beard which I’ve been enjoying lol 😝 I’ve also been ad avid weightlifter for the last 6 years or so (which is what prompted me to get my testosterone levels checked to begin with as my strength gains were regressing and I did not know why) and I’ve seen tremendous strength increases from being given a small weekly dose of testosterone. This clinic pulls blood every 6 weeks to check blood thickness, enzyme levels around the prostate. They perform EKG’s and so forth and closely monitor the situation. I am leaner and stronger and look & feel better 💪 I highly recommend TRT for anyone who truly needs it. Also if you do suffer from clinically low testosterone, then your insurance will cover this therapy. It’s a win win 🥇
