Title should read "doctor gives balanced opinion on use/misuse of trt"

TRT changed my life. Used to have nothing, do nothing, depressed, low self esteem, insecure. Now I am just depressed lol. Big improvement. :D

Started TRT at 54, changed my life SO MUCH for the better! Mood, muscle, weight all improved.

I was on TRT in my 20s.... i really miss trenbolone replacement therapy.

Silly title. I’m in my 50’s and use TRT, wish I had started a decade ago, just fantastic…overall health, physique. Life changing.

I’m 10yrs into TRT. Best decision ever.
My doctor is old school and avoided TRT for a long time. He recently told me that since he started prescribing TRT to his patients they all started to not need ED meds, anxiety meds, anti depressants, sleep aids, and they have better biomarkers and the net net result is he prescribes less drugs overall. And he told me he has had men+women shed tears to him saying TRT saved their marriage and changed their life.
TRT is about quality of life. But you must monitor your bloodwork forever…which ultimately is beneficial to your health because you are paying attention and your dr catches them immediately.

jeff bezos knows alot about testosterone

I think we should be more concerned and questioning more why so many young men have low T to begin with. The fact that its not receiving more attention is borderline criminal. I have no doubt that certain industries with deep pockets and lots of lobbyists are to blame.

I think I missed the “so dangerous” part.

[PatrickKerwin]

Your lighting on these videos is so spot on.

[wread]

I’ve been in it 8 years, I tested low both tests before I jumped on. Never thought about weight lifting before but as soon as I got on it I started lifting weights and never stopped

[spearruler]

Keto, OMAD, 100 mg test per week divided between 3 micro doses (33 Monday, 33 Wednesda, 33 Friday), weights four days a week, fasted cardio 3 days a week. Supplements....magnesium, B multi, C, turmeric, creatine, Omega 3 and D and K2. Give blood every 60 days because donating blood has so many benefits that are never talked about. Praying in the morning and evening. Meditation and hydration. Amen.

Chris - one of your first cinematic episodes with Huberman is what got me to stop and pay attention to your channel. I couldn't wrap my head around the production value and it forced me to pay attention when I might otherwise have bounced off your content pretty easily.

The current series is another level entirely. Even as a long-time fan, I've been caught off guard at how the settings of these episodes are impacting my experience. Amazing service to the viewer.

Started TRT this year at age 51 due to low testosterone. I was shooting loads but no orgasm, it was depressing but now I feel it again and my dwindling muscles are strengthening! Thank you doctor!

[riggs]

I’ve been on TRT for close to 20yrs. Haven’t really seen any bad side effects. Life is a lot better on it. The Traverse trials that came out recently disproved a lot of the TRT negative myths out there.

[barnes]

I'll say I've been diagnosed with major depression with anxiety disorder from my teen years. 51 now. 6 months ago I had my T levels checked and it was 200. 6 months later @ 0.5ml weekly (1069 now)and I've NEVER felt like "life is worth living" before! Mentally and physically now?? I love life. Even the crappy things that can happen I like too. I possibly have 20 years left to enjoy and I be damn if I'm going to let anything or anyone stand in my way

[GrandAnt]

I had 2 children and started at 35. Like everyone else here, it changed my life for the better.

[jamesaydelotte]

I went on TRT at 46 after a hip replacement when the weight loss became unmanageable. I have MCTD so my joints are trashed. I exercise daily and stay around 10% body fat - but after 3 tests in 2 months my T was 124. Terrible- TRT has made a huge difference

[faceious]

TRT changed my life. I was overweight, depressed, and tired all the time. TRT helped me lose weight, balanced my mood, and put 15 pounds of muscle on me.

37 - as soon as my wife is pregnant I'm jumping on TRT. Been low for 5+ years now and enough is enough.
