Male Hormone Replacement

MrRoam90 · 2020-12-18T05:51:42+00:00

I've never had it as I'm 29 and lift pretty regularly. But from older gym goers I've learnt it provides a good boost for the 30/40+ year old man whose body is starting to slow down. More energy, better mood and all round vitality booster . I mean it's not like taking steroids where you become super amped and aggressive but seems to be a more subtle feeling which mirrors how you felt when you were younger.

Of course, always take proper medical advice from trained professionals and not us Reddit experts but id say it couldn't hurt if you have low T and your doctor is happy to supply it

I've been on trt for 10years straight. Self administered, not through any doctors....dosage abit more than regular trt, somewhere around 300mg/week.

Energy level is nice, libido is crazy good....gf loves it. Maintain a good physique year round with minimal effort. Gym results are obviously good. It's not without risks though. Went bald faster than normal, more hairgrowth everywhere else. Acne can be a problem for some.

I'd say it's worth it, especially at your age. I started around 30y. Never did test my levels , just figured out I stay at above normal level for life basically. Blood work has been perfect so far.

Personally I don't have any experience but I take vitamin supplements daily, one of those is zinc which helps with testosterone production naturally. Sleep is also very important to you as well. Make sure you get the right amount of quality sleep every night.

Stop drinking coffee later in the day as that will help your sleep cycles. Get outside for an hour a day as the natural light will also help with vitamin d production, and help regulate your sleep cycles.

Exercise is a must if course, but cardio also along with lifting as that energy burn off will trigger your body to use food more efficiently and give you more energy, if course following that diet is important, reduce alcohol particularly beer, go for spirits instead as they give the same effects with less sugar, sugar in the body gets changed to estrogen, read that somewhere, don't know if it's true but it makes sense when you see beer drinkers with tits.

I frequent a motorcycle forum where a lot of guys are older but active. Nothing but positive things from it. I’m almost 39 and have been experiencing low T symptoms. Going to see doc on Monday to call up full bloodwork. I’m positive it’ll show low T, just hope it’s low enough that they’ll let me do the TRT treatment.

My T levels were low and estrogen was too high, my trainer/coach picked up on it when I got blood work done

Prescribed testosterone

Feel phenomenal

Training is going gangbusters

Combine it with a real nailed down diet and training 6 days a week you'll be addicted to getting healthy in no time

Go lift heavy and eat rare steak. That'll boost your testosterone.

Well, there are two things, for 1 being overweight makes your hormones levels drop, 2nd after 40 for men your hormone will go down. Consider lifting weights to gain musscle

I'm 42. Spoke to my doctor (same age, right-leaning politically, all about nutrition, lifestyle changes and prevention rather than pharmaceutical approach to wellness) about it. He was willing to put me on it, but we decided against it. Funny nobody responding here has anything to say about the potential health implications - hair loss, increased risk of cancer, heart problems, prostate issues and the list goes on. Testosterone production decreases as we age. It's natural. Fucking with your hormones is sketchy. Just ask all the menopausal ladies that went on hormone replacement therapy and the health problems they face as a result.

Eat right (pay attention to digestive health), stay hydrated, exercise every day, get proper sleep and focus on mobility as you age. Other than creaky knees, I'm in the best shape of my life (~6-7% body fat and still muscular) and the only supplements I take are protein shakes, a multivitamin, magnesium and wild fish oil.

At the end of the day, it's your body and this is really a discussion to have with your doctor. I chose not to and I feel I made the right decision.

Lord of good online clinics (legit) that can help you through the testing process to see if you are actually low. They are more liberal with prescriptions and doses than your typical family Dr. they help you get things tuned in so that you don’t have too many negative side effects. Of course UGL sources are generally cheaper but don’t come with the assurance of a legit prescription and periodic medical screening. All depends on what you are looking for

I went the clinic route to get the legit prescription for legal/work purposes but then bought some UGL for periodic “blast and cruise”

daproest1 · 2020-12-18T07:56:07+00:00

Yeah. Every it’s happening to each generation earlier and earlier. I started at 30. I’m 33. Just make sure you take HCG (every other day) along with it. I’d argue that this is more important than the testosterone itself.

Interview your doctors AFTER educating yourself. I first had low blood levels when I was 28. Spent 2 years studying the endocrine system (while trying to raise it myself naturally). By the time I got around to doctors, I had to exclude most of them. I knew more than them, when it came to that subject at least, and that was scary.

Before going with injecting test, look into getting doc to try Clomid. That bumped my T from high 200s up to 1100+ and it's my own production so less side effects than exogenous. It may not work for you but it did for me. Over time we've backed the Clomid dose way down but I'm still at ~900.

Impossible-asset · 2020-12-19T18:38:50+00:00

Yeah, my doctor tells me the same at 46. I'm not keen on taking in any substances. If my body decides it doesnt need as much testosterone, i'm good with that.

Thanks, everyone, for the replies. A lot to think about here.

HitTheWall88 · 2020-12-19T09:36:33+00:00

Go over to r/steroids and ask some questions in the daily ask anything and you'll learn way more about it there. Best thing I ever did by the way. 👍

Best thing you can do is get MHP T Bomb Extreme. It is a supplement that helps your body produce testosterone. You have to alternate part of the time being on, and part of the time being off. But the good thing about this supplement is it also has estrogen blockers because you have to be very careful if you use creams or something like that you can give yourself estrogen as well and you don't want that. I've used this stuff for probably four or five years and it's excellent excellent stuff you can get it at GMC or it's actually cheaper even just buying it online. Good luck.

cz_masterrace · 2020-12-18T18:02:25+00:00

OP: Not a doctor, but I would up the exercise and get your weight down before experimenting with any hormone replacement. But if your doctor is suggesting therapy then I will assume you are in good hands.

big_pharoh · 2020-12-18T17:13:56+00:00

Bro I'm 40 and I'm on TRT, it works... You won't be a 20cyear old again. But you'll feel better

Solo_and_Simple · 2020-12-18T14:04:35+00:00

You might look at your diet to see if that may be a way to help, rather than defaulting to a medication. That's always the doctor's first choice -- pull out the prescription pad. But sometimes (often, maybe), the issues are better fixed with dietary changes.
