What Are The Real Health Risks Of TRT? More Plates More Dates

Hello legends. Watch the full episode here - https://youtu.be/imyicRCeSZw

I am 70 and had a heart valve replacement 4 years ago. I developed AFid and felt like hell. Got my blood tested and my testosterone was at 75 . My doctor put me on TRT and got my testosterone up to 400. TRT replacement saved my life. If you need it please get on it you will feel great.

I'm 46 and had the chance to take TRT. My T was 155 and I felt terrible. Instead of taking TRT I instead lost 28 lbs. T then went to 265. Now I am at 355 and still climbing. There seems to be a direct parallel to body fat % and natural T levels. I Eat well, sleep well, lift weights 4x a week, and drink alot of clean water in glass not plastic. For now I'm glad I didn't go on hormone therapy and depend on drugs for something I was able to do myself.

I'm 60. Energy levels real low. Got back to working out ( weights) and eating right. Also simplified my life to lower stress. I feel like a new man. The weights help with stress levels

Trt changed my life. I was so weak, fatigued, severe anxiety depression. Weight gain. HBP. The list went on. I’ve been on it for a year and have never felt better. Routine blood work is a must. Best thing is to find a solid doctor who knows men’s health and hormones. There are side effects that you have to navigate through, like back acne. Overall I feel amazing. I can play with my 5 kids and enjoy life again.

I'm going to jump in here. Felt lazy lethargic and libido was in the toilet. Went on TRT for i think about a year and felt much better, but then I also went through a bit of depression during the Covid time and couldn't be bothered to inject myself so went off it for just over a year. Everything went to shit I got super lazy, argued with my wife ALOT, and sex was the last thing on my mind. This past year I shook myself out of my funk around March (?) started a keto diet, lost a bunch of weight, started going to the gym and felt stronger again, but something was still missing. Went back on TRT and honestly my life improved immensley, I'm more alert, my diet is dialed in, I'm having super intense workouts and my sex life is fkn' amazing. I'm happy again, my wife is happy again and the future just looks so much better. 51 yrs old

Not sleeping is the underrated life shortener

I got on it about 3 years ago. My labs showed I was in the 200’s, and I absolutely felt like shit, every day. Had zero sex drive, no energy, overall just felt bad. Now I keep my level between 700-800, and feel like a person again. I still get tired, and have my aches and pains, but dont feel anything like before. I dont ever want to go back to feeling like that, and the funny thing is, it slowly creeps up on you, and the next thing you know, you feel like shit every day.

I just started TRT because I’m constantly fatigued and have terrible brain fog. Hoping it doesn’t shorten my life by much but if it does I hope the time I have left is better.

Also Longevity is not just just living a good lifespan. But is really focused on healthspan. Living well into your older age. Who wants to be taking 20 medications and can’t hardly walk or remember shit, but are still loving.

I have sleep apnea and testosterone of 216 ng/dl. Massive brainfog and lack of drive and consistency. Fixing the sleep apnea first. Which has been not straight forward at all. But dieet and weight training hopefully help also.

My grandma used to lift buckets on her head when she was 90 years old, so she could go to sell food in a local market (she always received $$$$$ from more than 40 grandsons, it wasn't by necessity). She used to eat a lot of spicy food and red meat every day. She died at 103 years old, genetics plays a huge role in quality and longevity.

Classic low T symptoms here but didn't realize it until i was tested and got the results and started looking into TRT. Started my first does 9 weeks ago and its been life changing. I also have afib, psvt and high blood pressure. My heart health hasn't felt better ever. Giving my symptoms and the way I feel now I'm pretty sure I've been low T for waybover a decade maybe even 2 and I'm only 38. For the people that actually need it you benefit so much from it you'll be mind blown

I have been on TRT for 3 weeks. I'm 40 years old and my last testosterone test level was 115. 3 weeks in I feel so much better overall. I'm back in the gym, eating better, just better in every way due to how much better I feel. My energy level was so low before, I was just doing what was easy. I had talked to my doctor about TRT for about a year before accepting his recommendation of injecting testosterone but I wish I would have done it sooner.

My doctor told me that very often people who obsess over preventing a certain disease or denying themselves every joy in life in an effort to live longer are often blindsided by some totally unexpected condition or event. He suggested living a healthy lifestyle but focusing on having a quality life in the here and now. TRT, a good diet and excercise helps me live a quality life as I approach retirement. Perhaps if I starve myself to a bone bag and walk 10 miles a day I might last a couple more years while I drool on myself in a wheelchair. On the other hand I can live while I'm alive.

I got on TRT right after the Covid lockdowns. My bloodwork was a disaster two years later. My red blood cell count was abnormally high. I've been off TRT since November 2022. I just recently (last week) started feeling somewhat good again. It took my body around 3 full months to even begin to recover. My T levels are still super low sub 200 but I feel better than I did. I'm going to try and rebound naturally with a clean diet and 5 days in the gym a week. Don't take your health for granted.

Been lifting weights since I was 15...Waited till age 51 to get my T levels tested, was low , 274. It's been 5 months of 1 mil per week of TRT... Game changer.

I started doing TRT about a year ago. So far it has been great.

Stress will kill you in your 30's, knew a neighbour who was a marathon athlete, he sadly died at 36, he was super healthy in his life!but very stress prone, he died of an heart attack. The truth is if you have an unbalance then you may benefit from hormone treatment, if it makes you happy you might live longer regardless compared to without it, or it might be just damn be the equivalent possibly.

Wife practices medicine and we tested my T level last year ... sub 300 at age 52. Went on TRT and it's been a game changer ... improved mood, sleep, strength, endurance, libido. Kicking myself for not doing this 10+ yrs ago. Get with a doc and have your hormones checked - it's worth it if your levels are in the gutter like mine were. I did pellets for 6mos and then we shifted over to weekly injections. Pellets were great but didn't like sitting around for 5 days after insertion, having a big lump in my butt cheek, and expelling a couple of pellets toward the end of the cycle. YMMV.
