[@chrismclaughlin8842]

TRT sounds amazing, I think for me the lifetime commitment is what scares me most, not because I cant commit, but losing supply for whatever reason (like banning of trt, or supply chain issues) or being financially incapable of continuing are probably my worst fears.

[@Blacknight200]

Thats exactly my reason too, i wish with all the money we put into health insurance in the US they can AT LEAST cover a prescription for this with professional medical staff monitoring you for the average joe who aren’t paid athletes.

[@SterlinNelson_VTXBuilders]

You then will go back to your original levels. This has been proven. There is a lot of scare tactics from pharmaceuticals because if you knew the prescriptions the Dr would prescribe for these symptoms vs testosterone. Is easy to choose. There was 7 lifetime medication my Dr wanted to prescribe for these symptoms yet told me the compound my body produces naturally would cause cancer. Are pharmaceutical industry derives from the petroleum industry and if you have the big c they upgrade you to nuclear. Have conversations with other men and buy a years supply its cheap just be smart and the Dr will only prescribe you enough to get by and if something does go south the pharmacy will suddenly not treat you as a valued customer. Trt is life changing if you need it.

[@Nathaniel_Scott]

You could always just buy from a UGL if needed for a while (underground lab, where people source PEDs etc)

[@pathape]

I would say the biggest challenge is finding a good place that will prescribe injectable T. A lot of clinics around me want to go the pellet route since its way more profitable. I tried the pellets and they actually work okay. However, like it was mentioned in this podcast they never last as long as they say they will. My guess is you would have no trouble finding a clinic that would do the pellet therapy. The lifetime commitment is a bit of an issue. The injectable T is not very expensive. 50 bucks for monthly supply (150mg/week) without insurance paying in my neck of the woods. The pellet therapy is $700 for about 4 months. I never tried the cream, but I hear its a pain and is expensive without insurance covering it. However, insurance is more likely to cover the cream. Also, blood tests every 6 months to a year can be a little pricey and sort of a pain. I tried 200mg, but I saw a little more side effects without much added benefit. The minimum effective dose is truly the best route to go.

[@pathape]

Also, I started at low 300ng/dl of total test, and at 150mg a week my peak gets to about 900 ng/dl. Sometimes Ive gotten to 1000ng/dl. Friends that take black market T and take 500mg week usually max out what the blood test will detect in the blood. I think thats around 2500 ng/dl. At mid 30's or older, TRT is not close to a real cycle of T or steroids. Also, after awhile guys I know that have taken large amounts of T for years can sometimes only get their T to my levels with a large amount of T. Stay lower dosage as much as possible if you decide to go that route. I think there is something to the Bro Science about that says you can desensitize your androgen receptors with high amounts over time.

[@mistermister8998]

Ali is awesome. I learned a ton from her since I started my trt journey

[@brandonjames8631]

This is by far the best realistic idea of trt for guys to relate and understand. Love Ali’s and the bell project!

[@marc2638]

It’s funny how she said once you take Testosterone you’re on it for life, so I never took anything no PED’s in my teens, 20’s or 30’s. I started taking it at 42 years old, and when I did I knew yup this is it if I do this I’ll never be able to get off of this because my body isn’t producing it like it used to anyway. So I went to the doctors found out how low I was and surprised as I was to hear I am higher than most men my age and I didn’t need trt as the doctor put it I went home and administered it into my leg. That was 3 years ago and I feel phenomenal even still to this day, I’ve gotten Covid once people once so trt does more than what the obvious factors are. I’m glad I did it glad I’m doing it and me having to continue for life is fine for me

[@ConspiracyRangr]

Great interview. Just got my bloodwork fone yesterday and stumbled in this podcast today. Im excited to get on TRT. 53 yeats old and putting in the work already - can’t wait to have a little help. Great info. Ali is a badass!

[@gabrielmedina4190]

Great info, I’m on my 6th week of TRT combined with HCG, for anyone that might be hesitant just at least get your blood work done so you know where your at, I was scared of mine and turned out my labs were ok but I established my starting point, first time I’ve been to a doctor’s office in 4 years

[@BJw2]

I want to see more coverage like this. ❤️ I'll be starting TRT stacked with Sermorelin either this week or next. My reason for choosing TRT is to improve my overall well-being. After getting my blood work done, I discovered that my testosterone levels were low, among other factors contributing to hormonal imbalance. My symptoms included: - Persistent fatigue - Low libido - Lack of sexual drive and motivation - Depression - Feelings of low self-worth - Brain fog I was once extremely active, but I noticed a change 3 years ago and have been declining ever since, while ignoring the symptoms. It takes humility! Don't let anyone convince you that your levels are 'normal for your age' when that's not always the case. There are many factors that can lead to low testosterone. So please, consider getting checked and take steps to improve your health.

[@joydavid7757]

Trt is a blessing if done properly 🙏.

[@HOCKEY_KONG]

This was incredibly helpful and answered a lot of my questions.

[@SterlinNelson_VTXBuilders]

When my test levels was at 271 and free was 4 I was in limp mode or reserve now with trt I've installed a super tuner and another has tank. I chose full optimization after 3 years of trying to do every test booster scheme out there. Not including test boosters pills except tongkat ali which yielded the best results momentarily. My blood test was done at 10am after a run and push-ups. I'm 33 not fat had a six pack prior to trt but was in the gutter. Optimization is never a bad direction everything including exercise is for life.

[@ricardohague5491]

It’s really not hard to do good research and many people don’t even fathom the fact nutrition is mainly one of the things you need to properly do as well as exercise now when performance and other issues start then its a great time to get that blood work done and start trt to regain 20 years again and feel better. For me it was a few years ago my testosterone was below 450 and a few months ago barely decided to do Keto and bloodwork after a few weeks and see if the Dr will start me on trt. Just on the diet change (proper human nutrition) my testosterone was almost 280 higher than previous years but still sub optimal so Dr decided to start me on low dose in case I respond quicker being in Ketosis all the time, now this is one of the few ways to make your body work properly so a few more months and we’ll know

What's the regular dose?

[@austindunkin7905]

She was amazing! Great video thanks alot!

[@sdeas40]

My GP won’t prescribe it even though I have all of the symptoms and my total testosterone was at 330. In Canada you have to work hard for your own health.

[@30rdmaga]

I'm in America and I tested below 250 twice in 3 months and I practically had to twist my urologist arm for him to prescribe me and then he only prescribed me 75 mg once a week of the most expensive testosterone on the market.

[@POVgames]

330 seems like plenty. Mine was 42 and I’m on 200mg per week now.

[@30rdmaga]

@@POVgames yeah there's no way my doctor would have prescribed trt for someone testing at 330ng/dl. Also 42 is insanely low what was causing this?

[@POVgames]

@@30rdmaga my testosterone has always been fairly low, 200-300 but I did take testosterone and Tren and sarms off and on while I was trying to body build and it completely shut off my natural testosterone. Before I got my labs I was taking a lot of RAD140 honestly trying to score as low as I could since I lost my source of testosterone. I’m only 29 so I figured if my levels were normal enough they wouldn’t prescribe it. I have labs coming up next week, I’ve only been on test for 12 weeks so I’m curious to see what my levels are now but I feel a lot better than I ever have in my life

[@30rdmaga]

@@POVgames That makes sense, it's awesome to hear you're feeling better. I'm only on 75mg a week and it's my third week so I'm not feeling any better. How long did it take you to start feeling good again?

I broke out VERY bad on my back and chest about 3 months after starting TRT. I ended up lowering my dose and all the acne went away within 3 weeks. I slowly lowered my dose. I went 160mg to 200mg (changed clinics and that’s what the new doc rx’d me). Acne got VERY bad at 200 so I titrated down to 140mg. I have zero acne now. Not as strong in the gym but still feel great.

So many guys taking test downplaying what it does. If it doesn't do much and you still have to do x, y, and z, why are you taking it??????

Because low T has side effects just like high T does. If you have Low T, your body isn't operating properly. Would you drive a car where the engine oil has been drained and filled with anti-freeze? No? Okay, then why would you operate your body that way? Test isn't just for getting jacked. It's for feeling human again, like a man again.

[@kenk7012]

TRT has been amazing in every way.. But I am 4 months into my treatment and have random high resting heart rate and high blood pressure. Lowered my dose to see if that would help.. becoming very frustrated because other than that it's been great

TRT is for the weak minded, you guys talk about drugs like it is the normal thing to do. Today almost none off the elite olympic athletes take drugs that are on the Wadda list and train much more/harder than you fitness influencers. Most sports are getting much cleaner. Except for the bodybuilding and fitness industry, just take the shortcut man, use some, not to much and see a doctor...that is the common spirit here, by the way , that is half a man talking here

[@arthurfonzarelli9828]

First of all TRT is not a drug it's a hormone. This is like saying somebody shouldn't wear glasses if they can't see. If your body is not making testosterone at a sufficient level and your experiencing major side effects from it then you're crazy not to fix it just like if you were to wear glasses. I won't even get into the horrible take that you think nobody can is taking TRT with competitive athletes haha okay. Also remember these are therapeutic doses used to get you to levels that put you in your upper normal range from a hormones perspective. TRT is so good for people that there are thousands of papers showing how much it helps for your heart. In fact within a decade you'll see it being one of the first protocols used by cardiologist and would be right now if the medical industry wasn't so corrupt and only worried about profit instead of helping people. I'm 52 years old 13% body fat percentage and have never had a better body in my entire life and I take 150 mg a week and have forever. My motivation levels for sky high that's the number one thing testosterone gives you. I would never be in this good shape or have such low body fat percentage and good blood markers without it. I have no medications either. I won't even mention about how much it's saved my sex life. Lastly I go to one of the top TRT doctors in the world and there are numerous studies that show you can be the most dialed in type a personality person in the world if your testosterone levels are low you are bumping them up especially if your diet's on point, you're screwed. So then what someone's supposed to do? Just suffer? Absolutely ridiculous, by an uneducated person who doesn't really know what they're talking about on the subject.
