I'm 40, trt changed my life for the positive. I was physically depressed , not mentally. Doctors kept trying to put me on anti depression pills. Finally went to a good doctor who put me on trt. I started to be happier, cloudy mind went away, more motivated, lost a ton of weight, and blood pressure went down..

@@JohnDoe-dp4kxthe rhetoric is common because it’s true. I get where you’re coming from, truly, but I know a ton of dudes on gear that look natty, or like they don’t even train. You have to be disciplined in diet, training, and sleep when you’re on gear, same as a natty. And if you’re being smart about it and trying to mitigate risk, you’re getting bloods done pre and post cycle, your watching your kidney values, liver values, triglycerides, lipids, blood pressure, red blood cell count, etc. you’re doing cardio every day, managing estrogen, there’s so much more that goes into it than the typical rhetoric of “he is only big cause he takes gear.” Most dudes that look insane, are putting insane amounts of work into it. Would they look the same natty? Of course not. But dudes like Chris would look better natty than 90% of enhanced dudes you see at your local gym. Not trying to be confrontational, just my two cents

Around 38 I started feeling not myself. Brain fog, depression etc. I’ve had friends that were on TRT at the time. I didn’t wanna pull the trigger on it because I was competitive weightlifting and I’m a pilot but still the time, I didn’t know I could be on TRT and it was approved by the FAA. About a year ago I retired from competitive weightlifting and about 6 months ago I started TRT and Semorelin and holy shit I feel amazing. Much more clear minded, starting to lose weight around the belly, no depression, lifting has been amazing, not to mention my health insurance covers all my TRT treatments, not the peptides though. What really blew me away is, not all health insurances will cover it, yet they’ll cover poisons going into your body to mask the symptoms, and your PC doctors won’t give them to, you because your T fall in the “normal range” but they’re fast to give you antidepressants which I poison.

First time I've seen your pod. And I watch many. Gained a subscriber. You are one of the few that ask all the right questions. I'm 39 years old. Been training consistently for about 11 years , by that I mean usually 5 times a week during that time. Getting harder now slightly I'm getting closer to 40, so more like 4 days a week. When you train that often and for that long you do become in tune with your body. And I have noticed I need more of a mental push to get there now. I am fairly happy with my physice and strength levels. Push myself most sessions whilst being mindfully. Nutrition is key, adequate minerals. I see many young people on test/steroids now. Don't seem to have the mental strength to go at it without untill their 40s. Trt is basically cruising for many now. I have contemplated trt. Had my levels checked and I am near the low end. I'm glad I havnt touched any yet and and still happy with performance and gains albeit getting harder. But then again it should I'm getting older. I plan on holding off on trt for as long as possible. At least untill my 40s.longer if poss. But with the research I've done I believe there will come a time where it will be beneficial health wise to jump on. I think a lot of young people only see hear and read the positives. What they want to hear really. There are so many negatives especially jumping on young. The hard work mental strength commitment and realistic expectations seems to be lacking in these young kinds. No guidence maybe. By the way body building supplement wise I can attest that Creatine does work, is healthy, not just for the muscle but for the brain, and is safe so is worth it. Protein as well but no way near as much as is pushed. One shake a day for me, mixed with flax, honey, olive oil, oats, peanut butter. People don't understand the value of a calorie. If you are overweight in any way do you really think you need more protein because you work out?.. No is the answer. And it can take an hour on the treadmill to burn a packet of crisps. So understand the value of a calorie

Started TRT about 6 weeks ago and as a 42 year old man it’s been a game changer. A weird side effect has been zero cravings for alcohol where I regularly craved a drink. Not sure if that’s just all in my head for TRT has made me feel 1,000 times better.

Just look at Vin Diesel between movies from a decade ago. As soon as he was off the juice, all his muscle disappeared within a few weeks and he had a gut. That was crazy to me, since I used to rigorously work out in my early thirties, until having kids, not so much now in my early forties. Yet, I STILL have the majority of the muscle I built in my thirties and it's never "gone away". I've never taken a steroid in my life.

As a 47-year-old woman, hormone replacement therapy (HRT) has significantly restored my vitality and overall well-being, including my drive and motivation. Previously, I was prescribed various medications for anxiety, hypertension, depression, and weight management, all of which proved ineffective. In my frustration, I decided to educate myself extensively on the subject of hormones. The results were nothing short of transformative, akin to winning a substantial prize. I am now free of all medications, my weight is returning to levels reminiscent of my teenage years, and I am flourishing. HRT can be remarkably beneficial for women over the age of 35. It is advisable to have your hormone levels assessed, and for younger women, establishing a hormonal baseline can be invaluable for future health. 💪🏼💖

The most important thing that people need to understand, particularly young people, is that if you don't have the genetic makeup to be a champion body builder, then all the steroids in the world won't help you. It takes a 1 in a million type of person to have the genetic potential of a Ronnie Coleman or a Chris Bumstead, and if you're reading this, chances are it ain't you. So don't even bother with steroids.

I am 40 now and was on TRT for about 3 years using it subcutaneous every 3 days ~100mg a week total. TRT not only turned my blood to Ragu, it made sleeping difficult, drastically increased my BP and made me mentally unstable. I did the blood dumps ever 9 or weeks or so to mitigate the blood thickening. I was taking Arimidex to lower the estrogen effects of exogenous testosterone. So I was checking all the safety boxes. My advice is be careful its not a cure all and I'd say its over prescribed. Your TRT range is highly subjective so if you don't have an 800 ng/dl or 600 ng/dl Test level thats okay. Do your research and be careful from the TRT clinics they are cash machines for doctors. 💯💯
