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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Exactly same symptoms as me, I think I suffered almost a decade of my 30’s with too low testosterone until one day the symptoms overcame me. Doctor ran hormone panel and found I was hypo gonadal. On TRT, life changer, keep TT around 800 (high normal), literally in the best shape I have ever been.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Another fallacy I really get tired of hearing is when people conflate Prescribed TRT to anabolic steroids, you’re just showing your ignorance when doing this. As someone who did one six week cycle of high dosage test., Deca, and Anavar I can attest their is absolutely no comparison. I grew like a weed whereas on TRT I didn’t.

You have to weigh the pros and the cons. Dr. Berg is speaking in half truths here. Your blood will thicken a little but because of more red blood cells you have more oxygen in your whole body. My blood pressure has gone down, explain that one, Dr. The moodiness, acne, ect. is not caused by the testosterone. Testosterone promotes neurotransmitters which make you calm, motivated, ect. The moodiness comes from imbalance of hormones and should be temporary. Same with acne. Most guys get impatient with Trt treatment. It takes 2 months or more for things to start to balance out and feel any benefits. You might have side effects at first, but you need to ride them out sometimes. The stigma of Trt comes from the steroid side of things. Trt is taking micro doses to mimic natural levels of testosterone. Guys don't die from Trt.

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 🥇

I always wondered how athletes caught using hgh and PED’s get affected in the long run, i mean they seem fine.

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.

exactly, but i see a lot of comments of people who say they eat healthy and workout but have low test.. I dont get it, they either have a genetic problem or they are lying.

Desisting alcohol, smoking, opioid medicines and junk food would be a good start. Consume dark leafy greens, fatty fish like sardines and salmon, onions, avocados, shellfish, berries, eggs and foods with flavonoids.

I don't smoke, take any or drink, and I've lived in Italy, on a Mediterranean diet for 14 years. My testosterone is still well below normal. The lowest it should be is 300, mine is 100.

As with most things in life there is a possible general rule and then there is what really happens on an individual bases. We all know as you get over the age of 35 the majority of men have a decrease in test. It ramps up generally as you get into mid 40's 50's etc. Using test to improve certain functions if you are in the older category could go both ways and really there is only 1 way to find out. With all the things in this life that could injure or kill someone I personally don't think this would be on the top of the list. Get blood work done regularly, dose correctly, find out where your limits are and be responsible. Maybe it works/helps or maybe it doesn't, one size does not fit all......ever.

As so.eone else stated. TRT can be a great thing for men who need it as long as its done correctly. I see too many men taking to large a dose. Im 66 a d take a dose of 70 mgs once per week with injectable testosterone and have been for 5 yrs now. Nothing has changed and im feeling great have great blood numbers all around. So far its working incredibly well fir me. I dont care about testical atrophy because trt is for life.

I was recommended to go on testosterone replacement. I instead opted for using 12,5 mg Clomid daily, 500 IU of hCG twice a week, and ,5 mg of Arimidex - an aromatase inhibitor twice weekly. I additionally train 4 times a week in the gym, eat carnivore/keto, use a CPAP, take sink supplements and try get 8 hours a night sleep. I also worked to reduce stress. I packed on a ton of muscle, lost about 30lbs of fat and trippled my testosterone without TrT. My body is producing sufficient testosterone itself now.

My testosterone crashed after my vasectomy. I have been injecting 1/wk for the last 10 years. It makes a big difference. I've not always been the best at once a week. If I don't stay on it , I can tell my wife can tell that i'm low. This is a happened a few times over the ten years. It makes a big difference in many aspects of your life. Ask me anything. *I am not a Dr., This is not medical advice. Just my experience.

Been on TRT for 5 years now (48 yrs old) It's changed my life. Before I started I was @ 186. Felt shitty all the time, no energy, beer gut. Now I'm on 200mg every 10 days with .25 mg anastrazole every 3 days for estrogen control and feel fabulous. Labs are perfect. 380 at the trough and 1100 peak. It's really a game changer. 👌
