0:00This is testosterone. And over the
0:01years, I've made loads of videos about
0:02it, called out fake natties, and warned
0:04to the dangers of abusing anabolic
0:06steroids. But recently, I made some
0:07videos talking about how amazing
0:08testosterone is, how that starting TRT
0:10myself has changed my life. So, I
0:12thought it was only fair that I made a
0:13video explaining that although it's
0:14great, this also sucks. Some people say
0:18that one of the negatives of being on
0:19TRT is that it makes you really
0:21rightwing. You heard that? All I would
0:22say with that is no comment. But
0:24sometimes I feel like I'm just a little
0:26top up of testosterone away from sharing
0:29with everyone my immigration policies.
0:30Declan, one of the most important things
0:32we need to look into at the beginning.
0:34Some people think that TRT is steroids
0:36and the steroids is TRT. Now, although
0:38the compound inside the syringe is
0:39exactly the same, it's in the dose that
0:41makes the difference. Think of it this
0:43way. If you were to have a glass of wine
0:44a day for 30 years versus a bottle of
0:46wine a day for 30 years, although you're
0:48drinking the exact same thing, the
0:50potential impact to your health markers
0:51over that period of time be vastly
0:53different depending on the amount you
0:54were having. I would say TRT is
0:56testosterone use and taking steroids is
0:58testosterone abuse. We're going to get
0:59into that a little bit later in the
1:00video. Another thing about TRT is my
1:03dog, he's still got his nuts. Show me
1:05nuts. Come on.
1:07So, I think sometimes he can smell the
1:09androgens. He knows there's another
1:11alpha. So sometimes we should have a
1:12little bark off. Let them know who's the
1:15alpha.
1:16>> So there are two different ways that you
1:18would inject.
1:20You got subcutaneous which means under
1:22the skin and then we have intramuscular.
1:24So got my little pharmacy script here.
1:26Testosterone I get comes in these little
1:28depo shots which actually ends up coming
1:29in a little glass vial like that. I then
1:32dock it with a syringe and push the
1:34amount in that I need. That is from an
1:36Australian clinic. Again although I've
1:38invested into a UK clinic, I still use
1:40my Australian clinic. So these are often
1:42known as insulin syringes, but we can
1:44use these to administer testosterone.
1:45And these are the ones that you would
1:47use when administering hCG, the
1:48fertility drug, which I'll show you in a
1:50second. So that needle is incredibly
1:52fine. And that just goes under the skin.
1:55So that can be into a little bit of
1:57belly fat or sometimes I'll just pull a
1:59bit of skin away from my quad and inject
2:01into my quad. Under the skin, under the
2:03skin. Now for testosterone, everyone
2:05seems to think it's a really big needle
2:07cuz we had those really big needles that
2:08we use for the thumbnail. The reality is
2:10this is the size of the needle that I
2:12use to inject intramuscular. And even
2:14then it would be considered shallow
2:15intramuscular cuz it's not going all the
2:16way into the belly of a muscle. That is
2:18something known as 27 gauge. A lot of
2:20clinics start you off using something
2:22called a 25 gauge. Says a 25 gauge. A
2:25lot of people start on it's a 27 gauge
2:27and I believe that is a 29 gauge. The
2:29higher the gauge number, the smaller the
2:30needle. Now keep in mind bodybuilders
2:32will often use bigger pins because
2:34they've got bigger amounts of
2:35testosterone to inject more frequently.
2:37I will admit that using a 27 gauge, it
2:39can take a bit of time to get all of the
2:41oil in that you're doing. It could take
2:43like 15, 20 seconds, but I'd much rather
2:45have less scar tissue with a much
2:47smaller injection. And honestly, you can
2:49barely feel it. Now, whether or not you
2:51would go subcutaneous or whether or not
2:53you would go intramuscular would be
2:54dependent on the clinic that you work
2:55with because the type of testosterone
2:57they' send you is probably going to be
2:58different and they have their own ways
2:59of doing it. When it comes to frequency,
3:01I like to do every second day. Although
3:03that's not actually what my clinic have
3:04advised. My clinic have advised twice a
3:06week. I just prefer it for the routine.
3:07So you'll notice in my calendar I
3:09actually mark red the days that I'm to
3:10inject. Now just to let you know how
3:12easily you can make a mishap. So if you
3:15look at this for a set deck. So let's
3:17say that's.13. If we accidentally did.16
3:20which is not that much more. That amount
3:23I showed you there is 26 millig
3:24difference. So there's a 20% jump in
3:26testosterone just by getting that tiny
3:29little amount there wrong. So, there's a
3:31chance that the other day when I
3:32injected, I might have accidentally put
3:33too much in accidentally out for the
3:35jury. Who knows? Well, I wouldn't have
3:38done it on purpose because I actually
3:39wanted my blood to come back immaculate.
3:41But I say, "Look at me. I'm in perfect
3:42range." But I nef that up and I'm not
3:44going to lie to you. But I do think it
3:46was cuz I injected in the evening. Next
3:47thing to mention is a lot of you
3:49watching this are probably going to
3:50think that even just talking about TRT,
3:52it's going to give you prostate cancer
3:53and give you a heart attack. I'm also
3:55going to attach a study in the
3:56description to this video that has
3:57something called the traverse study. And
3:58that shows that men that were on
3:59testosterone were no more likely to have
4:01a heart attack, stroke, or die from
4:03heart disease as long as on the right
4:05dose. And that the likeliness of you
4:06getting prostate cancer between people
4:08on TRT and the placebo, no difference.
4:10You also need to take into account the
4:12cost. Some clinics will charge you a
4:13yearly fee, but you can look up to maybe
4:15even £100 a month from some UK clinics.
4:18And that can seem really expensive, but
4:20you know that everything you're getting
4:21is pharmaceutical grade. You're getting
4:22everything taken care of. you're getting
4:23a doctor on hand to talk to you when you
4:25need stuff. And ultimately, people will
4:26spend that on a personal trainer.
4:28They'll spend it on a gym membership.
4:29They'll spend it on a ser house
4:30membership. TRT for me has been more
4:32impactful than any of those things. And
4:34think of it this way, some people pay a
4:36personal trainer, £50 a session, see
4:38them once a week, it's £200 a month, and
4:40they do it because they need the
4:40motivation to train. If they don't pay
4:42the personal trainer, they don't go to
4:43the gym. But some people starting TRT,
4:45not all people, starting that treatment
4:46could be enough that they're not only
4:48motivated to go to the gym, they're
4:49motivated to do it on their own several
4:50times a week. So, it can work out cost
4:52effective in some ways. You start TRT
4:54treatment, you start drinking less, you
4:55start going out less, start saving money
4:57other ways. Giving TRT gives you more
4:59energy. You're able to work more hours.
5:00You're able to do more in your business.
5:02Again, it's cost effective. I can't
5:03promise that for everyone, but that's
5:05just the way that I look at that cost.
5:06When it comes to traveling, you get a
5:08doctor's letter from your clinic. That's
5:10probably one of the most valuable things
5:11that you get from a TRT clinic. You
5:12probably think it's a pain in the ass
5:13having to travel with everything, but I
5:15would say my bag gets searched less at
5:17airport security with needles and
5:19testosterone in it versus before. I
5:21don't know why that is. Maybe they
5:23think, "Oh, this person's a diabetic.
5:24Let's not make them." I don't know. But
5:26you get your doctor's letter that says
5:27that I'm on a prescription medication,
5:28it's the same as insulin. It's the same
5:30as anything else. So, although you might
5:31think that starting TRT means you can't
5:33travel, you can take it everywhere with
5:34you. I've taken it plenty of countries,
5:36plenty of times, never been stopped,
5:37always had the letter. So, here's my
5:39most recent blood work, and I thought
5:40I'd share it with you. I thought it'd
5:41just be transparent of us to go through
5:43it so you can get an understanding of
5:44the readings that you're going to
5:45expect. So, straight away we get to the
5:47levels of testosterone. Now, when this
5:48came through, I thought, "Oh, it's a
5:50little bit high." Typically, I would
5:51like to sit in the 700 range, which
5:52takes me to the kind of high end of that
5:54TRT service treatment. As to the reason,
5:56it's a little bit elevated. I did take
5:58my last injection in an evening versus
6:00the morning. Potentially, it was that.
6:02So, I inject quite frequently and I do
6:03my blood work just at what they call
6:05trough, the lowest point before I'm due
6:07my next injection. So, potentially that
6:08time is a little bit shorter. If I do
6:10another blood test in say 4 weeks and
6:12I'm still at the 800 mark, it's a
6:13conversation that I'd have with my
6:14doctor and I'd say, "Hey, I'm probably
6:15going to bring my dose down from 140 to
6:17130." Because the designated outcome is
6:20what we're aiming for. And everyone's a
6:21little bit different. For some people to
6:23hit the same amount of free tests as me,
6:24they might need more testosterone. Some
6:26other people might need less. That's why
6:27there's not one sizefits-all. I also
6:29want to make sure I'm at the top end of
6:30that range. As long as I'm not creeping
6:31into super physiological, I don't see
6:33the issue. Down here, my white blood
6:34cell count is a little bit low. Maybe
6:36I'm getting ill. And down here is an A
6:38reading, which is a little bit elevated.
6:39Sometimes I've got really bad DOMS or
6:41soreness from training or being in a
6:43state of rundown. That creeps up for me.
6:45To put it this way, I had to get my Mrs.
6:46help me up off the sofa last night. I
6:48was so tired. So that could be why that
6:49is. Again, no issues with my fasting
6:51status there. And down here, you can see
6:54that my LDL is just a tiny bit out of
6:56range. Now, I've chronically always had
6:58rather elevated LDL. Whether that's
7:00genetic, I'm not too sure, but there are
7:02some supplements I take that reduce
7:03this. I haven't been taking them for a
7:05while. Typically, whenever my LDL gets
7:06into the red, I take the supplements. It
7:08comes back down. I get my blood work
7:09back where it's fine. I stop taking
7:10them. I use a type of supplement called
7:12Love Hearts. Again, I'm not endorsed by
7:14this product. This is for me the best
7:16supplement that I've used for reducing
7:18my LDL and just making my blood work
7:20look amazing. So, it's got the
7:21bergamont, ubiquininal, grape seed
7:24extract, and celery seed extract. Uh,
7:26these are by that bodybuilder trained by
7:27JP, who is wamp. Again, like I say, I
7:30take a few of them and I will be taking
7:32them to improve my blood work since my
7:33ODR was a little bit out of range. Case
7:35in point, got my blood work back
7:36yesterday. Now going to take love
7:37hearts. By the time I do my blood, maybe
7:39four weeks time, probably be all clear.
7:40And we can see here as well that my
7:42estrogen markers are in a good place.
7:44And you see these two here, FSH and LH.
7:46I'll get on to those in another part of
7:47the video. But yeah, so there's my full
7:48blood work. Come back a little bit high,
7:50but like I said, I can always just do
7:51another blood test in a few weeks if the
7:53same thing happens again. Now, it's
7:54worth noting that if my blood work came
7:56back immaculate, I probably wouldn't get
7:57tested for another 3 or 4 months, but
7:59because I had a few markers in the red,
8:00I'll get tested again in maybe 3 weeks.
8:02Also, if we refer back to Jeff Nippard's
8:05infamous video about why stellar reads
8:08are awesome, we can see here that we've
8:09got a natural versus enhanced
8:10testosterone levels and he sources here
8:12that the healthy range is between 300
8:14and 1,000 NOGS per deciliter. Now, the
8:16conversions between different units can
8:17be a little bit different, but even me
8:18admitting that I'm slightly higher than
8:20usual takes me to about,8. So, I'm at
8:22the top end of what could be considered
8:23a healthy range. And again, I am
8:25probably going to make the amendments
8:26working alongside my doctor just to come
8:28down a little bit to make sure that I'm
8:30in that range that everyone can be happy
8:32with. And in Jeff's video, he talks
8:34about a bodybuilder that's on cycle
8:35whose free testosterone is above 10,000.
8:37And you could argue that a starting
8:38bodybuilder dose could be between five
8:40and 10 times what I'm taking on a weekly
8:42basis. Again, it's in the dose. And
8:44again, for the thumbnail, I put way too
8:46much testosterone in that. I would never
8:47inject that much into me ever. Maybe
8:49when I was younger and I was an idiot.
8:50And whilst we're here into this part of
8:51the video that we're talking about blood
8:53work, I just wanted to let you know that
8:54there's a link in the description to
8:55this video or you can head to a website
8:57called checkyoubloods.com. I'm pretty
8:59much on a mission to help men get their
9:00levels of testosterone checked. Once you
9:01sign up, I'll send you a bit of
9:03information about what TRT is like, some
9:05of the positives, some of the negatives,
9:06and then as part of that sequence, I'm
9:08going to connect you with where you can
9:09get a blood test at home that you can do
9:10privately. It's just a little finger
9:11prick, bleed a little bit into a bottle,
9:13which isn't too pleasant. Send the
9:14bottle off, get your readings back. Now,
9:16for those of you that potentially got
9:17symptoms of low testosterone, great.
9:19Let's see whether or not that's true.
9:20Even if you don't have the symptoms,
9:22could be worth getting a test just to
9:23see where you're at. Because in three,
9:24five, 10 years time, you might want to
9:26do another test when potentially you do
9:27have symptoms or you do want to seek
9:28treatment and you can look back to where
9:30you were today. It's not very expensive.
9:31It's very easy to do. That's
9:32checkyoubloods.com. Links in the
9:34description. Another reason that TRT can
9:36suck is that you will need to monitor
9:37things like your blood pressure. So this
9:38morning, just before doing this video,
9:40tested my blood pressure. I usually
9:41ignore the first reading and then look
9:42at the second and third readings. And as
9:44you can see here in this video, my blood
9:45pressure is pretty immaculate. Now, I
9:47mentioned previously the Jeff Nippard
9:48video that's very, very popular. It's
9:50had over 7 million views about why
9:51steroids are awesome. But there's some
9:53claims in his video that I kind of want
9:54to do a little bit of a true or false
9:55with. So, let's get into it. So, Jeff in
9:57the video talks about some of the
9:58physical changes and side effects from
10:01taking steroids. And for some people
10:02that think that taking steroids and TRT
10:04are kind of the same thing, let's debunk
10:05some of it. So, hormonal changes. First
10:07thing we need to look at is DHT. People
10:09assume when they ramp up their
10:10testosterone that the DHT is going to go
10:12up through the roof, which is a type of
10:13testosterone, and they're going to get
10:14hair loss. I would say anecdotally that
10:17taking TRT probably has accelerated my
10:19male pattern balding a little bit. I
10:21think I was already quite thin on top
10:22before treatment anyway. And as far as
10:24if I'm concerned about the hair loss,
10:25yeah, but to look better, feel better,
10:27perform better, feel more confident, my
10:28shirt off, I'll take a bit of hair loss.
10:30I can always wear a baseball cap back to
10:31front for instance. The second thing
10:33that we would look at is that steroids
10:35convert to estrogen. So if there's too
10:36much testosterone in the body, there's a
10:38process called aromatization where it
10:39gets converted to estrogen. Now, if you
10:41abuse steroids, you're at a heightened
10:43chance of developing gynecostia, which
10:45is gyno, which is what some people call
10:46tits. For when young people out
10:48there are abusing steroids, taking too
10:50much, taking derivatives of steroids,
10:52which are very potent and powerful, that
10:53estrogen can cause nipple sensitivity
10:55and it can cause a growth of breast
10:56tissue. Now, I would say the chance of
10:58this happening on TRT are acute or very
11:00small. Again, this is why we do frequent
11:02blood work. And as you can see in my
11:03blood work before, my estrogen isn't too
11:05high. and even the differences between
11:06people. There is no way of saying that
11:08if your estrogen hits 150, you're going
11:09to develop breast tissue. But using
11:11sensible doses and under the guidance of
11:13a doctor, which you would use in a TRT
11:14clinic, you would start at a low dose
11:16and titrate up slowly, looking at your
11:18blood work to see how you respond. Other
11:19factors like how obese you are or how
11:21much body fat you have or genetic
11:22predispositions would also have an
11:24impact whether or not you were to
11:25develop those tissues. But if you were
11:26to do it carefully and slowly and
11:28sensibly, you can mitigate that very
11:30easily. I'll be completely honest with
11:32you. There was a time that I was
11:33citrating up my dose just before my son
11:35was born and I experienced a little bit
11:37of nipple sensitivity and I straight
11:39away cut my dose a tiny bit and I
11:40actually had gained a bit of fat in that
11:42period from not sleeping. I did a lot
11:43more cardio. I cut my calories down. I
11:46lost 2 to 3 kg and I lost all of the
11:48sensation of nipple sensitivity there
11:50and there. For me, people in the
11:51bodybuilding community would have said,
11:53"Oh, you should get onto an aromatized
11:54inhibitor or no." For me, I lost a bit
11:56of fat, dropped my dose a little bit.
11:57I've been fine ever since. And that was
11:59great for me because it allowed me to
12:00know what my upper limit was, but
12:02there's no breast tissue, no gyno,
12:03nothing. Now, the next thing that Jeff
12:05talks about in his video is about
12:06testicular shrinkage. Now, yes, when you
12:08administer testosterone, even not
12:09bodybuilding dosages, even just TRT
12:11dosages, your body will shut down its
12:13own production of testosterone, and the
12:14testicles no longer really have a job to
12:16do. This can put people on a lifelong
12:18dependence of testosterone, which can
12:19scare a lot of people. But for me, if I
12:21was having symptoms in my low30s, it was
12:23only going to get worse. It wasn't going
12:24to get better by the time I hit 40. So,
12:26the idea of being on the medication for
12:27life didn't bother me. It could bother
12:28you. It could be the very reason that
12:29you never want to do TRT. But as we're
12:31going to get on to a little bit later in
12:32the video, I take another drug alongside
12:34TRT to keep myself online, so to speak.
12:37And that for me has meant that my
12:38testicles haven't shrunk that much. And
12:40I actually know what it was like when I
12:41was to abuse steroids and take huge
12:43amounts back in the day. I got a lot
12:45more testicular shrinkage, but on a
12:46sensible TRT amount, I just don't get
12:48that. Jeff says that the skin can
12:49increase oil production. I've never had
12:51any of those whilst using TRT. What
12:53would be a side effect that um most
12:56people like wouldn't be aware of until
12:58you've kind of done it?
12:59>> Because anabolic steroids are mostly
13:01gotten in at least the United States uh
13:03and Canada through underground
13:04laboratories. Some of the gear goes in
13:06there and uh boy does it uh does it mess
13:08you up? And I have been personally
13:10hospitalized at least once for um a
13:12noninfectant but an insanely immune
13:15responsive abscess. My quad was like
13:17half a foot out to one side.
13:19>> Uh infections. I've never had an
13:21infection from injecting. I use alcohol
13:23swabs before and after. I make sure that
13:25my hands are clean. Uh there are some
13:26people that are using underground labs,
13:28which means that they're buying
13:29testosterone that isn't from a TRT
13:31service. That I believe can come with
13:34complications of potentially getting a
13:35dodgy batch, let's say. But that's not
13:37to say that all underground labs are
13:38going to be bad and you're going to get
13:39abscesses from it. But you should
13:40certainly have your level of due
13:42diligence. And I would recommend anyone
13:43out there that is going to go down the
13:44path of using underground labs to make
13:46sure you get it tested. And there are
13:48testing kits you can get online to check
13:49the potency, the purity, amongst other
13:52things. Again, I'm not going to sit here
13:53and lecture you on how you take
13:55testosterone. I would always advise that
13:56you go through a TRT clinical service to
13:58just be safe. The term roid rage, but
14:00it's really aggression. And it it very
14:03infrequently displays itself as actual
14:05bio attacks, but the thoughts you get on
14:07steroids are disturbing. You might like
14:09war movies and stuff, but if there's a
14:10war movie playing in your head every
14:12single second you're awake and asleep,
14:13it gets a little old after a while. But
14:15you have big muscles, so I guess that's
14:16cool. So that's how the cookie crumbles.
14:18>> When it comes to aggression mentioned in
14:19Jeff's video, I wouldn't call it roid
14:21rage or getting in fender benders and
14:22screaming at people. That aggression for
14:24me is a get up and go. Let's go,
14:26brother. If anything, it can make me
14:28mildly annoying because all the time I
14:29want to do stuff. Let's start a
14:30business. Let's go do this. Let's go do
14:32that.
14:32>> A pretty common reported anecdote is
14:35feeling like you just hit puberty again.
14:37>> Is that a good thing or a bad thing?
14:38probably not a good thing overall
14:40because you're now an adult with like
14:43libido of a raging 16-year-old and you
14:45have responsibilities and things to keep
14:47up with and all you can think about is
14:49you're perpetually erect penis
14:51basically. And then the sexual effects
14:53mentioned in the video, I know that
14:54people taking huge amounts of
14:55testosterone could probably have a
14:56libido that gets a bit crazy. They can
14:58get porn addictions. They can become
14:59desensitized. But for me, the increase
15:02in libido that I've had has been
15:03incredibly positive because it's
15:04benefited the sexual relationship I have
15:06with my fiance. She's four or five years
15:07younger than me and wanting to have sex
15:09more frequently I think is very good for
15:10our relationship. I wouldn't say it's
15:12ever moved into the territory of being a
15:13negative. The next reason TRT sucks is
15:15that you need to be healthier on it. And
15:16the reason I say that is I'm getting a
15:18real live feedback every few months in
15:20my blood work about where my cholesterol
15:21is at, all of my different markers,
15:22where I'm deficient in somewhere, where
15:24my estrogen is at. I also test my blood
15:26pressure probably every month to see
15:28where I'm at. But although my LDL is a
15:29little bit high, my blood pressure is
15:30what I would consider in a very good
15:31range. So when you're on TRT, you can't
15:33really go on benders. You can't drink a
15:35lot. Not that you're going to get told
15:36off by your clinic, but more so imagine
15:38you're a sports car. If you're going to
15:40drive it hard, change the oil more
15:41regularly, go for a service more
15:43regularly, check your tires more
15:44regularly because you're driving it
15:45harder. I have this notion that I won't
15:47even have one beer at dinner because I'm
15:49always mindful of my blood work. I have
15:51become a little bit more stressed about
15:52my health, which I would say is a
15:53negative thing, but also a positive
15:54thing. So, if you're someone that lives
15:56a pretty unhealthy lifestyle, I would
15:57advise you not to use TRT. Another
15:59reason TRT sucks is fertility. So when
16:01you're taking testosterone, even at
16:03small TRT dosages, it is going to negate
16:05your fertility, your ability to have
16:07kids, which means that you do have to
16:08run other compounds alongside it. So I
16:10take something called hCG, which I
16:12administer three times a week, which
16:13means that my injection frequency is
16:14about six injections a week. Again, it's
16:16subcutaneous, which I don't think is a
16:18big issue at all. But one common
16:20question that people ask if you're
16:21considering a TRT treatment is if you've
16:22had kids already because if you haven't,
16:24there is just a layer of complications
16:25that you may need to be taking more than
16:27one compound and that when it comes to
16:29wanting to have another child, you might
16:30need to reduce your dose. You might need
16:31to take more hCG. It just becomes a bit
16:33more complex. But if you've had the
16:34amount of kids that you want in your
16:35life, maybe being infertile and starting
16:37TRT could be your chemical facctomy. I
16:39don't know if that's actually a thing.
16:40Just made that up. Not a doctor. Another
16:42big problem that I have with TRT is I
16:44got a lot of for it. I came out and
16:46was honest and was like, "Hey guys, in
16:47case you're thinking I'm looking a bit
16:48more yolked than usual, it's because I'm
16:50administering small amounts of
16:51testosterone three times a week." I
16:52could have lied. I could have said it
16:53was my training programs and you
16:55probably will get a bit of from
16:56your mates. Oh, you didn't have to do
16:58that, mate. Oh, you're wasting your
16:59money. Oh, what's the point in having
17:01big muscles? You've already got a
17:02misses. I think that everyone out there
17:04is kind of competing with each other.
17:06And some men don't like it when their
17:07mate sorts his life out. When your mate
17:09gets in shape and gets a bit more jacked
17:11and goes to the gym a bit more, it can
17:12make other mates feel like So you
17:14might get some for it from your
17:15mates. You might, oh yeah, but he's on
17:17steroids in it. It's just the way it is.
17:19But again, if look better, feel better,
17:20feel more confident, take it. Now, this
17:22is a purely anecdotal reason as to why I
17:24think TRT sucks, and that would be
17:26warmth. I'm warm all the time, but since
17:29starting TRT, I'm warmer. I would say
17:31maybe that's an increase in metabolic
17:33rate. I sleep so warm. And again, I'm
17:36not sponsored by eight sleep, but have
17:38my eight sleep at home. I love it. It
17:40cools me down overnight. And I now find
17:41that when I travel, even if I stay in
17:43the nicest hotels, I just wake up hot
17:45all the time. I would definitely say
17:46I've noticed being warmer in TRT. It's
17:48why I wear vests most of the time cuz I
17:49just sweat and I always have sweat
17:51patches. It's why I only wear black. Um,
17:53but yeah, I'll put Chris's link in the
17:54description. It saves you like $150 if
17:57you want to buy an Sleep, but I don't
17:58get paid. And Chris doesn't even say
17:59thank you when I use that. I have a
18:00feeling that injecting is going to
18:02become a lot more normalized because of
18:03things like peptides. So for instance,
18:05any athlete that gets injured now is
18:07going to consider taking BPC-157, TB500
18:10injection. Although there are tablets, I
18:12don't think I think actually injecting
18:14yourself with those peptides makes a
18:15difference cuz like this is going to
18:16work. People are taking peptides now for
18:19weight loss like to zeppetide. We're
18:21going to do a video on that soon. Uh
18:23people are now just becoming more
18:24comfortable with the idea of human
18:26optimization, which is always going to
18:27include injections. Even some vitamin
18:30infusions, IV drips, getting something
18:33under the skin is just such a more
18:35efficient way to get it in than to try
18:36and go through the stomach in a lot of
18:38cases. Oral steroids can be very toxic.
18:41And I reckon within 5 to 10 years,
18:43everyone is going to have like a little
18:45pen. And that pen is going to have in it
18:47a little bit of testosterone, a little
18:49bit of your mangjaro, a little bit of
18:51your fertility medication like hCG. And
18:53then it might even have some type of
18:55finasteride in it or whatever. So I
18:57reckon you'll work with clinics and
18:58they'll say, "How thick do you want your
19:00hair? How much muscle do you want? How
19:02much weight do you want to have or
19:03carry? How lean do you want to be? How
19:04much do you want your sex drive to be
19:06improved? How much of your facility do
19:07you want to retain?" and and clinics, if
19:09they're not already doing it, will have
19:10a bespoke pen that works for you. And
19:13even the technology about blood testing.
19:15So, those of you that do sign up and get
19:18a blood test, you might not just get
19:20sent the fingerprint, you might get sent
19:21something called the Tasso, which is a
19:23little device you put on your shoulder,
19:24you click a button, and it draws blood
19:26from your shoulder. If we can improve
19:27the technology and the efficacy of
19:29actually testing people's blood as well.
19:31Imagine a world that every week you do a
19:33blood test, and then your next pen and
19:35dose is bespoke based on the previous
19:37week. I don't think we're far away from
19:38that. And like I said, everyone's like,
19:40"Oh, even Paula Lima said to me, it's a
19:42lifelong decision." I was like, "Bro, I
19:44had symptoms at 34. They weren't g and
19:47maybe it was from abusing steroids when
19:49I was younger, but it was only going to
19:50get worse by 40, 45, 50. It wasn't a
19:52case of if, it was a case of when." And
19:54I think that's one of the things that
19:55not enough people consider. And here's
19:57the thing, right? I would not do
19:59anything I don't want to do unless it
20:01was worth it. Literally anything. I
20:03wouldn't post this YouTube video if it
20:05wasn't worth it because I would rather
20:06be doing things that are worth it. To
20:08take six injections a week, it has to be
20:10improving my life. It must outweigh the
20:12benefit of the cost, you know? So,
20:13that's just the thing. And any of you
20:15that are 50/50 on the fence, I would say
20:16this. Any of your friends that are on
20:17TRT, ask them about the experience.
20:20They'll tell you the truth. So, there
20:21are some of the reasons that people may
20:23not disclose openly or publicly about
20:25the negatives of using TRT. Sometimes it
20:27can be a ball. It can be a logistical
20:28nightmare. So, there's a link in the
20:30description for checkyoubloods.com where
20:31I recommend that you'll get a blood
20:32test. And if you want to know about some
20:33of the positives that I've experienced
20:35from using TRT, then you can check out
20:36this video here. Thank you very much for
20:38watching.
