@@aarongodwin5889 "Death" is a cover term, my friend. It's simply a meme of a world 5 universes devolved in consciousness. Literally, no one HAS or EVER will die off of Earth - as you have 2 bodies.. with one being indestructible.. and the same one you move to every night and also permanently at physical termination. If you don't know this, how can you be so confident you are wielding a sufficiently informed context to properly evaluate the term TRT? Plus (not even going that deep) testosterone is not some foreign substance to the body which it does not produce itself in huge contrast to most traditionally defined steroids. You really are conflating the "steroids" term with the reasonable assistance TRT provides. Going back to the depths.. you simply have EMOTIONS or FEELINGS related to "natural" or "cheating" which would cause your injudicious intellectual conflation. Always reflect on the FEELINGS behind your THOUGHTS. Thoughts are just "covers" for emotions. Your soul is feeling entity.. and by 8th sphere the thinking organ of your consciousness will be absorbed into your feeling soul. Of course this is very advanced stuff. I am here to teach all.. and will be soon...

There seems to be a direct parallel to body fat % and natural T levels. I Eat well, sleep well, lift weights 4x a week, and drink alot of clean water in glass not plastic. For now I'm glad I didn't go on hormone therapy and depend on drugs for something I was able to do myself.

I'm going to jump in here. Felt lazy lethargic and libido was in the toilet. Went on TRT for i think about a year and felt much better, but then I also went through a bit of depression during the Covid time and couldn't be bothered to inject myself so went off it for just over a year. Everything went to shit I got super lazy, argued with my wife ALOT, and sex was the last thing on my mind. This past year I shook myself out of my funk around March (?) started a keto diet, lost a bunch of weight, started going to the gym and felt stronger again, but something was still missing. Went back on TRT and honestly my life improved immensley, I'm more alert, my diet is dialed in, I'm having super intense workouts and my sex life is fkn' amazing. I'm happy again, my wife is happy again and the future just looks so much better. 51 yrs old

@@jdog6620 And that's the reason I would not take steroids. My philosophy is this: As we age, we're SUPPOSED to get weaker. That's part of nature. To go against nature is foolish because there will always be some consequence - whether acne, shrinking testicles, increased cholesterol, hair loss, higher risk for heart attacks, etc. I have no problem in exercising and eating right to preserve strength and fitness as long as possible. But, once drugs are introduced, things immediately become unnatural because now you're using chemicals to try to combat the natural aging process, and this is a futile battle because nature will still take its course. Would I be stronger if I took steroids? Yes I would. But I prefer to go the natural path and use hard work and effort to preserve my strength as long as possible as I age. Doing things, the old fashioned way, without drugs, is definitely not easy; however, it builds mental strength and fortitude knowing that you are doing things naturally. And it gives me confidence that everything I do is natural. That's just my opinion. I have no issues with those who take TRT and who are helped by taking it. Each person must do what is right for him. But all I am saying is consider consequences in whatever choice you make.

Imagine an engine that running. At some point you have to do maintenance or repair or replace old parts. But if that engine is running all the time, there's no way to do that. The human body is similar in that it repairs and does maintenance when you sleep. In order to for it to do that completely and thoroughly, you need to be taken off-line and shut down. That state is deep sleep. The longer you're in that state, the more time you give your body to do all its maintenance and repair from the wear and tear during your awake time. Remember, for every hour loss from sleep, you take time off your life. Sleep is life.

Wife practices medicine and we tested my T level last year ... sub 300 at age 52. Went on TRT and it's been a game changer ... improved mood, sleep, strength, endurance, libido. Kicking myself for not doing this 10+ yrs ago. Get with a doc and have your hormones checked - it's worth it if your levels are in the gutter like mine were. I did pellets for 6mos and then we shifted over to weekly injections. Pellets were great but didn't like sitting around for 5 days after insertion, having a big lump in my butt cheek, and expelling a couple of pellets toward the end of the cycle. YMMV.

True trt from an actual doctor with testing and not “self prescribed” trt is healthier than not being on trt with unhealthy low levels of testosterone.

He suggested living a healthy lifestyle but focusing on having a quality life in the here and now. TRT, a good diet and excercise helps me live a quality life as I approach retirement.

I work out because I want to look better and feel better today… and indefinitely. longevity is a plus benefit but the the main benefit of why people work out. If you want an excuse to be fat and unhealthy.. then that’s on you. Don’t mask it by saying “my doctor said people who worry about health get sick”

I'm 42, and my levels were 58 of testosterone. For me, I'm just tired all the time not wanting to do anything with my daughter, like going on walks and going to the park. For me, my levels were so low, my doctor told me, yea, you're going to get on testosterone, and she only saw 1 other person with low testosterone like mine. I heard good things about it and talked with my doctor for about 45 minutes about testosterone. I'm on my 2nd week. I'm looking forward to just having energy, and I'm going to start eating better and getting back in the gym. I'm just looking forward to being happy again.

I am 40 and I've been on TRT for the past 3-4 years. For me, it was a huge game-changer. I was in good shape before, but I was constantly tired and I had a lot of brain fog. I honestly think I've probably had low T for a lot of years without noticing. My T level was around 200. Most likely it has been an issue my entire life. My dad and my brothers, all had thick full beards, whereas I had pretty much no facial hair. I always thought it would come as I got older, but it just never came. That combined with being tired all the time and having brain fog for many years (at least since mid of 20's), leads me to believe I've always had this issue.

Decided to go on TRT and after a short time I'm already feeling 'normal' again. TRT definitely has its time and place to be used, it's not a cure-all as some people like to think.

My levels have been super stable in the high "normal range" for years now and I've felt fantastic. Strength, drive, libido, clarity, focus, sleep quality, mood, energy, recouperation, body composition.. Everything is back to how I felt in my early 20's. No side effects. For ageing guys with low T, it should be a no brainer to get on doctor supervised TRT. I'm not sure why more doctors aren't prescribing Undecanoate in the US. It's a much better compound for stable TRT levels than Enanthate and Cypionate and you don't have to get injections every week.

@@atag512 That's great man. I would say that the effect you describe from the "natural" test booster is unfortunately most likely 100% placebo. When a man takes synthetic testosterone, like Nebido, the brain detects the excess and stops production of LH and FSH. That means the body quits producing intratesticular (natural) testosterone, and consequently, production of sperm due to the suppression of LH and FSH. A test booster will not cause the testicles to start producing natural testosterone while on TRT. I'm glad you're doing well though, and I'm happy that you've had good results with Nebido (like me). Keep it up!

TRT should be used for therapeutic reasons only and not used in conjunction with other compounds. It definitely helps those who are in need and suffering from low libido, brain fog, anxiety etc, however to much of anything is never good and only take what is needed, also have a physician monitor your protocol for side effects and you should be fine.

I got on a dedicated workout/diet program..fast forward to today I'm 239lbs, 15% body fat, blood work/heart health is great, PSA levels are good. Just like the other guys commenting..doing TRT the right way can change your life for the better.

I started trt two months ago. after one month I felt like superman at the gym. Like i was 21 all over again. Never felt better in my life than I did last friday. Then this monday after my morning workout I had a stroke. They said if was not in extrordinary physical condition i would be dead or severely injured. As it is now i have use of all my extremities and i can walk. If I cant walk or if i cant go in the ocean any more then that is not a life i want. 52 years of alcoholism and smoking for forty years cant be undone with 2.5 years clean and sober and off smokes.

Thank you for sharing that, man. Get low and take care of what you need to - what you really are wanting to, here - extremely fundamentally. Progress extremely slowly through the "disaster" of this, distracting yourself when necessary, indeed, for your sanity, then shifting back to your center. I know this will make sense to you, and may your efforts be blessed and relatively steady, brother. You've probably looked into supplementing with tongkat ali, fadogia agrestis, ashwaganda, etc., for a level up in your endogenous T production; and I'm sure you value a chronically progressive, sub-VO2-max cardiovascular conditioning logic, and hopefully deep, blissful, appropriately resistance-loaded/-assisted stretching. Also, go balls-to-the-wall with every kind of antiinflammatory supplement/nutrition methodology you can, as this is crucial but subtle - but just very, very _powerfully_ subtle. Bless you, once again, man.

Long term adherence is the key. Statistically most diets fail so start off with something easy to stick to i.e. keep the same diet but reduce portion size & go for a 10-30 min walk 3 times per week. From a good starting point you can build, eating more fruits & veg, increase protein intake, add weight training. Do not be too restrictive with your lifestyle to the point of missing eating out with friends, birthdays, holidays etc . If you fall off the wagon and gain a few pounds its not the end of the world and certainly not a failure, go back to the basics of portion control. Good luck.

Both. Loose fat and gain muscle. It's "easier" to loose/burn fat than muscle especially over time since the body adapts to muscle growth and stimulus' like weightlifting. Except for a beginning weightlifter. But either fat loss or muscle gain is goin to help longevity. But both are goin to help more. The best plan of action is to loose fat by "eating correctly " (don't even consider it "dieting". Eating a Mediterranean focused diet which is high protein & high healthy fats focused, Then loose more fat by moving more(fidgeting literally burns calories) burning calories =fat loss as long as your calorie intake is proper. 2,000 per day is fine once 1 gets active. Also introducing fasting protocols like intermittent fasting will not only help but help extremely well burn fat off. Get to walking, swimming, battle ropes, rock throws, medicine ball slams, all for sets and reps to jack the heart rate up and don't even think about running until down to a relatable size to run! It's all a process and takes time. Just focus on doing small things at 1st that move 1 into the correct direction until 1 can do more. Then you can do even more because you'll be able to. You'll get better at eating cleaner and moving more. Those small victories add up to the big victories! Clean eating = cooking basically. Getting away from "instant" foods, microwave meals and anything processed. Treat the worst of foods like BAD DRUGS . If a person can't fully throw them out of the diet, then moderate them to the least possible. And change up your daily habits that put you face to face with those terrible foods. Don't buy them and DONT stock them so that if 1 can't fight the craving, 1 MUST WALK to the store and PHYSICALLY pick them up! Make it almost excruciating to obtain or divulge in anything unhealthy. And work for it if you must. Sugar and bad processed foods ARE 100% LIKE DRUGS and our bodies WILL WITHDRAW FROM & CRAVE THEM! But thankfully the withdrawal is literally weak compared to actual drugs and it's more of a thought interference. Follow Andrew hubberman, Joe Rogan, David goggins, Dr. Berg, Athlean X, to name a few and dive down their rabbit holes of info and avoid "fitness influencers" that aren't cemented in truth learning to spot everyone's angles along the way. Good luck to you or whomever you intend to help!

Other than that, red blood cell count and literally every single other blood count looks great and within normal ranges.

I also add muscle easier than I used to without running anything extra, so it’s better than normal for sure, plus with a constant stream of it, never catabolizing muscle.
