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 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.

In my mid 60s my testosterone was low; I went carnivore, eating 18 raw egg yolks every day. After 7 months (3700 egg yolks later) I got a blood test and my testosterone had gone from 300 to 800. Now it is at 873. No medications of any kind.

I also got mine checked because i had all the symptoms. Mine was low as well, so i got put on a testosterone cream that was compounded at the pharmacy. So far so good. Will do labs again in 5 weeks.

He was doing one shot a week, and then had labs done again after 6 weeks, and is now at 2 shots a week. Taking the shot once a week on Friday, he noticed around Wednesday or Thursday, he was slipping back to the moods and such. Now at twice a week, it's been great for him.

If he stays on this long term and he will need to, it will give him polycythemia, and the dr will tell you to do blood donations. There will be all kinds of problems I went through this now for 25 years with my husband. I found a pellet that is supposed to be bioidentical and not give those side effects as the synthetic injections do, and it is inserted under your skin so it gives a steady dosage for 4 months instead of the up and down of the shots. The brand I got was BIOTE I think they are others, but not sure about them. I cannot tell you how much this has changed my life since finding it. For YEARS my husband struggled with these issues and sucked out lives away and that whole time the dr did not say ONE word about any other products, we didn't even know this existed. They will with hold information, as well as lie to you, don't trust them.

TLDR: This video discusses the potential downsides of taking testosterone, including worsened sleep apnea, mood swings, and testicular atrophy. Factors affecting testicular health are explored, such as insulin resistance and deficiencies in zinc, vitamins A or D. The presenter suggests supporting testosterone health through weight training, adequate zinc and vitamin D intake, a diet rich in healthy fats, and prioritizing REM sleep. Additionally, natural methods for enhancing testosterone levels include weight loss, a ketogenic diet, intermittent fasting, and ensuring sufficient protein intake. 00:00 🚨 Testosterone can have positive benefits like increased libido and energy, but there are potential negative effects to be aware of. 01:09 🛌 Negative effects include worsened sleep apnea, mood swings, acne, dizziness, potential heart attack, decreased fertility, and testicular atrophy. 02:05 🤔 Factors contributing to testicular issues include insulin resistance, low zinc, protein deficiency, low-fat diets, statins, high soy diet, and low vitamins A or D. 03:25 💪 To support testosterone health: weight training, zinc intake, sufficient vitamin D, and a diet with enough healthy fats are recommended. 04:19 😴 Ensuring adequate REM sleep is crucial for maintaining testosterone levels. 04:59 🏋️‍♂️ Losing weight, optimizing blood sugars through ketogenic diet and intermittent fasting, and having sufficient protein can naturally enhance testosterone levels.

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.

Great Information, Thank you. I'm 43, normal weight, healthy and my Total T was ONLY 87 (Free only 2.8)! Wow. Now I know why my libido has been terrible for so long. Plus the brain fog and low energy. Last month, my Primary doctor started me out with 200mg injection ONCE PER MONTH. Seems low from what I have read online. I guess we'll start low and see what happens. So far, after two injections, I've noticed a very small increase in libido, buy only for a few days. As Dr. Berg said, I also had mood swings which are uncommon for me. Seems like taking a smaller does more frequently is better. Does anyone have experience with a monthly dose?

I donate blood every other month to remedy the blood thickening. I've had too many positives to not do it. I followed his health advice prior to TRT and lost 150 lbs. Still on that journey. My wife's issues are completely gone after following his advice. He's a smart one. You should try what he describes. My doctor told me whatever you are doing, keep going. She later asked me what I'm doing and said I inspired her to start it. These doctors these days are trained to push meds. You can fix yourself with the proper diet.

Yeah, everyone is deficient in magnesium so do supplement with a lot of it. I’d recommend the BioTe pellets that get implanted in your buttocks every five months or so as they are bio-identical so don’t have risks that the synthetic hormones do. And be sure to take a aromatase inhibitor such as DIM or i3c which are made from cruciferous vegetables and will definitely prevent the conversion of testosterone into estrogens. You don’t want to get man-boobs, right?! I’ve been on this therapy for over ten years now and it has changed my life 1000% for the better. I was a broken down and crumbling person before going on the therapy and I am totally revitalized person full of go and happy, helpful energy now. I wish you all the best in the world. !! 😃

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 won’t get into details but just imagine an alien abduction. Prostate was normal size and my psa was normal. Huge nightmare.

@@Karmazov Nothing but the supplements used to help the prostate. If they had benefits on test production, I can’t attest to it. A little background… Ive pretty yoked since I was a kid. Big lifter but definitely an endomorphic body type. I also have two kids and zero libido issues. So when my dr tested and said my levels were on the ground, I was surprised. Trt was amazing almost immediately. Lifts increased, I shredded up like I was 28. When I got off, my levels plummeted below what I was originally. For months I didn’t want to do anything. Left foot, right foot. Now I’m a couple years out and everything is back to normal.

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.

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.

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 🥇

If you micro dose your dose over the week is optimal. One big dose once a week is toxic for you.

Depends on your shbg When your shbg is too high its better to do once a week for example because the shbg goes lower then.

SHBG, Free test, E2, Prolactine are all factors that should frequently be checked and used as marks to determine dose and dose frequency. SubQ injections daily are optimal mostly. Too lower shbg one can take for instance Proviron or Masteron, to elevate Free test one can take Boron

I'm not a doctor. I've watched this channel a very long time. However, I am on TRT for secondary hypogonadism and I've researched the daylights out of this topic. To say testosterone can "cause a heart attack" is blatantly misleading without providing any context comparing therapeutic doses vs ILLEGAL steroid abuse - show me the study where staying in range causes cardiovascular risk. Not even to mention showing oral tablets that destroy your liver - you missed the mark on this video and it is just lazy. You are doing a disservice to us that are on TRT equal to saying insulin is bad for a diabetic. Seriously..... you're better than this.

RyanJ, I have been on TRT for years. I think I was insulin resistant. I went on Keto dropped 40 lbs. I am 6’3” 230 lbs before Keto got to 190 lbs but felt I was losing strength, started weight training 3 to 4 day per week about 30 sets per day. I am now 205 lbs fairly lean my pulse is 60-70 bpm at work on a computer resting heart rate high 40’s, cholesterol 160, testosterone about 470 after 10 days. IM 070 ml every 10 days I feel and look great at 63 years old. Some doctor wanted to put me on a preventative statin, what the hell for? Reduce heart attack I do not think I have any risk factors, not every medical study applies to an individual. I also take Vascepa 2 capsules twice daily.

It's probably not because of the meat. All the carnivore diet doctors 10 plus years on the diet all look like mens health cover models. Some in there 50s and 60s and have had kids in the last 10 years. I seriously doubt vegan or vegetarian is the way to go. My buddy did carnivore for a year and I hadn't seen him in a very long time. He reversed aged. He looked 15 plus years younger. Now he added plants and sugar back in. He's looking older again.

Funny, seems like no one in the comment section watched this video. Everyone is raving about how great TRT is rather than taking the tough more satisfying journey of doing it naturally and changing your lifestyle. Not surprising though, everyone wants the easy way out, and right now it’s TRT for men.

My Urologist said that low T increases your chance of having prostate cancer. He told me to get my testosterone levels tested and if it was low he would begin testosterone therapy. I got a male hormone panel that tested 5 different things. One of the test results was in the high range for normal, one was in the middle and 3 were in the low range. I don't take any prescription drugs now and don't want to start now but I've lost some muscle tissue and strength in the last 2 years (I'm 81). I've got a lot of projects going on that require more strength than I currently have.
