In this extensive discussion about testosterone replacement therapy (TRT), various key points are addressed. The conversation covers the complexity of human health, the diagnostic process, treatment modalities, and the importance of personalized care. Here are the main takeaways:
1. Complexity of Human Health:
- The human body is a complex system with interconnected subsystems, which means TRT requires more than a one-size-fits-all approach.
- Factors like lifestyle, diet, stress, and other health conditions (e.g., thyroid issues, adrenal health) significantly impact testosterone levels and overall well-being.
2. Diagnosis and Blood Testing:
- Accurate diagnosis of low testosterone involves comprehensive testing, including multiple blood tests spaced over time to account for natural fluctuations in hormone levels.
- Symptoms of low testosterone can overlap with other conditions (like hypothyroidism), so a thorough evaluation of various biomarkers is essential.
3. TRT Modalities:
- The choice between injections and creams should consider the patient's lifestyle, preferences, and response to treatment.
- Injections are generally preferred for their consistency, but creams can be effective if used correctly.
- Each modality has its nuances. For example, the timing of blood tests after application or injection is crucial to accurately assess hormone levels.
4. Patient Support and Education:
- Continuous support from health coaches or patient advocates is crucial for managing TRT effectively.
- Education on potential side effects (like acne, changes in temperament) and the need for lifestyle adjustments is necessary for patients starting TRT.
5. Monitoring and Adjustments:
- Regular monitoring and adjustments based on both blood work and symptom resolution ensure that the treatment remains effective and safe.
- Understanding that hormone levels fluctuate naturally, even with consistent treatment, helps in setting realistic expectations.
6. Holistic Approach:
- A holistic approach that includes evaluating and addressing other health markers (like liver function, kidney health, thyroid levels) alongside testosterone levels provides a more comprehensive understanding of a patient’s health.
In summary, successful TRT requires a personalized approach, comprehensive testing, continuous support, and a willingness to adjust treatment based on both objective health markers and subjective well-being.

Very informative and balanced. They both maintained an objective perspective, which helped me understand the topic without feeling swayed one way or the other. Highly recommend watching if you’re considering TRT or just want to learn more about it and which methods / types of TRT is for you

@imdavelee what is the approx half life of cream? If 12 hours, does this mean testosterone would be completely out of your system after about 5 days? (Eg, would T levels tank to zero if one inadvertently stopped for a week?)

Mike if some1 has positive thyroid antibodies but tsh t3 t4 is normal. But feel like low thyroid symptoms. Should start thyroid replacement? My tsh is 3.51 with positive antibodies.I feel low thyroid symptoms.

@balancemyhormones 21 күн бұрын

Thyroid can make a big difference if you have antibodies and have symptoms. Not all doctors wil agree which makes it so frustrating. Thyroid is tricky to sort out but it can also make a big difference when done right. It requires frequent testing and titration of dose and monitoring symptoms. Hopefully you can find a competent understanding doctor where you are located.

Hello gentlemen, my total T is 305 and free is only 6.1. I have all the symptoms of fatigue, 0 motivation and what not. I tried trt a couple month ago and with first shot of 50 mg I had worst headaches for 6 weeks non stop. so I had to stop and after 6 weeks I started again with 50 mg a week but lost my libido completely and I never had that problem. I stopped again and not taking it anymore. I am very confused at this point that what are my options as trt was such a nightmare for me with headaches and 0 libido. My TH is 4. You think enchlomiphene is a good option for me. Please suggest.

It sounds like you've been through a lot with TRT. It might be best to consult with a healthcare professional to explore other options. If you are in Uk or Europe check out website www.balancemyhormones.co.uk

I live in Sweden , i just got injection (Nebido 1000mg/4ml) number 3 with 8 weeks apart. (was on gel before) What do you think about this method? We cant get trt injected every day here.

@6.4DieselDoctor 23 күн бұрын

150-200mg of Cypionate once a week is better. 8 weeks apart won’t make a difference even at 1000mg. Need to keep it steady instead of going up high then crashing down. Every week is the key to leveling out and maintaining and/or raising your levels.

Are you required to get the TRT at the Dr's office?

That's great to hear about your treatment plan! It's interesting to see how different countries approach TRT.

@6.4DieselDoctor 21 күн бұрын

@@mikeoxmaul1788 first 6 weeks yes but after that you can perform self injections every week. Comes with prefilled needles if you prefer then you’re required to get lab work done every 3 months afterwards and they’ll customize your dosage to keep your levels optimal. My test level was 23ng/dl and estrogen was so low it didn’t register. Constant depression, high blood pressure and daily migraines. No energy or drive, brain fog and never lost weight. Stayed in ketosis for 2 months straight and never lost a single pound. Now I have energy, no migraines, depression is completely gone and lost 8 pounds. I’m only on week 7 too.

If the physician is well versed in using the cream it works as good if not better than injections for a lot of men
