TRT

Hrt is readily available to women but not to men. Here in OZ, general practitioners hand out hrt to women but men have to be referred to a specialist.

Male privilege = bullshit.

Yes brother. Big pharma wants you as cattle. They never tell the truth about nutrition, which is what they would do it there was actual healthcare industry.

Instead, we have a medication industry and everything is about what they can pump into you

Aren't the dangers of low T much worse? How were their heart problems made worse by TRT?

Some of the guys over at /r/testosterone have reported amazing results.

Thanks, I'm interested in this subject.

TRT improves cardiovascular function and health in otherwise healthy men. Still, there are few things worth knowing about TRT:

You don't need to take care of T production on it, but you have to take care of conversion. Estrogen and DHT, minimize estro, maximize DHT. Estrogen is responsible for all the side effects of exogenous testosterone administration. Typically, consuming lots of mixed tocopherols and - trienols, vitamin A, K and D in proper ratios solves the estrogen problem. Additionally, high magnesium intake (250-500mg/day) and periodical zinc supplementation make it even better. For TRT diet: a. Eliminate polyunsaturated fatty acids (any fat source that isn't animal source or coconut oil), focus on saturated fats. Sugar doesn't matter. Just don't make it your main source of carbs. b. Consume less cholesterol than usual, it will not be converted to testosterone anymore, so you only need enough to produce mineralocorticoids and for your immune system to function optimally. Also, myelin in your nervous system (brain) is literally made of cholesterol. I think everyone wants to keep their brain. 200-600mg/day (equivalent of 1-3 egg yolks) seems to be the perfect range. c. Don't go too high on protein! Your body needs 30 grams a day to function properly, 80-160g is perfect depending on bodyweight. d. Do intermittent fasting. It helps with androgen utilization at receptors and keeps you lean (which lowers estrogen). e. Limit iron consumption to absolute minimum (you don't want a stroke in 5 years, keeping your iron consumption low helps)
Get daily 30-60 minutes of physical activity at metabolic equivalent (MET) of 6 + perform strength training 2-3 times a week. Best possible training session would be: 10-20 minutes of lifting weights (compound movements, heavy weights, low reps) then 10-20 minutes of bodyweight training (to accumulate volume and improve fitness) and short HIIT at the end (Tabata, Gibala, SIT) around 5-15 minutes. Takes up to one hour, takes care of everything. Once a month go for 90-120 minutes of some form of cardio to improve cardiac output.
Take a T dose that gives you blood concentration of 1000-1400ng/dl of T. Typically 150-250mg/week. Use daily subcutaneous injections of small doses to avoid estrogen spikes and keep concentrations steady.
Get regular ECG, bloodwork to detect any abnormalities in heart function.

Finally, TRT makes you feel like demigod. Don't abuse your body just because you feel like you can.

TRT doesn't mean you don't have to take care of yourself, it means you need to take even more care of yourself.

If anyone is interested in the topic I might prepare a longer post one day ;) just write a message or something

I'm on self administered TRT 10 years in now, best decision in my life. Lot's of energy, feel like a million bucks, good physique (easy to build muscle). The positives outweighs the negatives for sure, though it might not be for everyone.
