1:29Speaker 2Valentine's Day. Golf cart. We
1:32Speaker 2have a special have grown up golf cart. I know that.
1:35Speaker 1Special guest today.
1:37Speaker 1He is Doctor. Tyler
1:40Speaker 1to you. He is Tyler to us because he's a buddy of ours.
1:43Speaker 1So if we call him Tyler, don't judge us because we know him well.
1:48Speaker 1But he runs Action TRT.
1:50Speaker 1He is in Costa Mesa, California.
1:53Speaker 1He's engulfed in everything that we love, testosterone
1:56Speaker 1replacement
1:57Speaker 1and all the above. So we're gonna dig into that more. I know everybody loves that subject and the questions just keep rolling in on that subject.
2:07Speaker 1I can't believe there's still men out there with testosterone under 300.
2:12Speaker 1So we will talk some of that stuff. Yeah, it's very, very, very common. So we wanna take you guys and shake you. And so anyways, Doctor. Tyler, welcome to the show. My brother. Great to be here. Really impressive,
2:22Speaker 3your
2:23Speaker 3room here,
2:24Speaker 3and I'm proud of you guys. It's
2:28Speaker 1an honor to be here. It's good to have you on the show, man. You've seen some of the growth and that's been cool. You've kind of seen from the inception to where it's at. You know, we call it God's hands for sure. He's kind of putting his hand on this thing, but it's because we talk about subjects that need to be talked about. It's just the truth. Men's health needs to be talked about. I mean, all the above. Finally. All the above. You know, we're going to talk about some testosterone. Don't want to dive headfirst in, but why don't we?
2:54Speaker 3Why,
2:55Speaker 1in your opinion, you know, in your expert opinion, what is the reason testosterone
3:00Speaker 1lows are so damn low right now? Like it's an epidemic
3:04Speaker 1going on.
3:05Speaker 1I have some firsthand experience,
3:07Speaker 1so does well, just working with so many people
3:10Speaker 1in fitness and getting blood work done. I was blown away. I mean, I'd had like young 30 year olds with
3:17Speaker 1super low testosterone. I was blown away about that. Why would you say that is? That's a
3:21Speaker 3good point because as we know, our grandfathers testosterone in
3:27Speaker 3their 50s, 60s, and 70s were still
3:30Speaker 3in 600s, 700s according to the literature.
3:34Speaker 3And I would say the 1 answer is environment.
3:39Speaker 1Is
3:41Speaker 3as
3:42Speaker 3much as they're supposed to improve our lives,
3:47Speaker 3they're not improving our health.
3:52Speaker 3Computers,
3:53Speaker 3I mean, just this plastic.
3:57Speaker 3You notice, you hear stories about farmers and old guys out on farms who don't have all the exposure to the stuff we have
4:06Speaker 3their levels. Their levels are still good. The stuff in our foods,
4:12Speaker 3plastics,
4:13Speaker 3pesticides,
4:14Speaker 3hormones in our food. I mean, I think that we can't blame it on 1 of those things.
4:19Speaker 3A multitude of things. And if someone that happens every time, why is my why is my testosterone so low? We can't say there's no lab test to say it's because you have your
4:31Speaker 3iPhone next to your balls or
4:33Speaker 3because
4:34Speaker 3of your pesticides and your food, but you can speculate that it's a multitude of these things. When
4:40Speaker 1somebody comes in
4:42Speaker 1seeking help that probably, you know, there's people that know about testosterone replacement. A lot of people have no clue about it. So you have a fresh guy coming in with a lot of questions and no knowledge. What
4:53Speaker 1is
4:54Speaker 1your kind of experience with that?
4:57Speaker 1What's led them to you and just like take the people
5:01Speaker 1that are listening that are like that, that are not on testosterone.
5:04Speaker 1Their
5:05Speaker 1ears are perked up, whether it be this show or whatever has led them to start thinking about testosterone replacement.
5:11Speaker 1Nude guys sitting in your, in your office over 40,
5:14Speaker 3a little overweight and he's tired. What do you, how do you run that? How do how do you handle that? Well, 1st of all, how did he get there? What made him think, Hey, something's off with me? Was it he saw Joe Rogan or he saw a new podcast or a family member said, Hey, I'm on TRT, man. It's changed my life. Or someone at work is like,
5:35Speaker 3you know, you seem a little sluggish these days. Are you okay? So
5:40Speaker 3how did they get there? Did they Google it?
5:42Speaker 3Low energy and low sex drive. Did someone tell them? So I asked them the 1st thing is like, hey, like, how'd you hear about me? And their answer is different every time. What are some answers?
5:54Speaker 3My
5:56Speaker 3brother is on testosterone and said it changed his life and his marriage.
6:04Speaker 3I keep seeing these videos on Instagram about people on TRT and how it's so beneficial and how it's changed.
6:14Speaker 3I'd say the majority of people now have at least heard of it or
6:19Speaker 3know something about it. And then you have your small percentage of people who I've been researching this for 2 years and I finally decided,
6:26Speaker 3okay,
6:27Speaker 3I need to do something about this or at least get my numbers checked.
6:31Speaker 3Yeah. So I'd say most people
6:36Speaker 3know a little bit about it. The majority know a little bit more, and then there's a subsection who've really done their research and
6:43Speaker 3are like, okay, I've heard enough about it. It's go time. Yeah.
6:48Speaker 2Now what's your So then somebody comes in, like, what's your pro in your clinic, what's your process that you take somebody through? From lab tests, blah, blah, What are you looking for? So they
6:58Speaker 3schedule a call with someone.
7:00Speaker 3I have a men's health specialist. His name is David. He's fantastic. He's like the epitome of health. They have a call saying, and David's, What made you schedule this call? Oh, I'm feeling low energy.
7:11Speaker 3My sex drive is slow and my wife says I'm moody.
7:15Speaker 3Or whatever. We find out what's going on with them. The 1st thing we have to do is
7:20Speaker 3laps.
7:22Speaker 3And we're not talking, you know, I won't talk about the clinics that don't do this, but we're not. We
7:28Speaker 1have
7:31Speaker 3nothing else. Nobody got you was canceled back in because I called
7:35Speaker 3a certain clinic
7:38Speaker 3GD- GD
7:40Speaker 3game death health.
7:43Speaker 3You can take But that
7:45Speaker 3yeah, we're not checking just testosterone.
7:48Speaker 3We check total free bioavailable
7:51Speaker 3to you.
7:53Speaker 3Sex hormone binding globulin,
7:54Speaker 3albumin.
7:56Speaker 3We do check estrogen, but we'll get into that later. That's a whole nother thing. They were checking A1C,
8:00Speaker 3a complete metabolic panel, PSA to check and see where the prostate is now,
8:06Speaker 3all the thyroid stuff, everything you can imagine
8:10Speaker 3to see, okay,
8:11Speaker 3what else do we have going on that could be causing your symptoms? Because
8:15Speaker 3it's not just,
8:17Speaker 3I mean, everything works in harmony. You can't just treat testosterone and neglect like
8:23Speaker 3your thyroid
8:24Speaker 1or vice versa? Well, that's kind of the problem that we've run into. We talk about it often on here is if you go to like a typical MD,
8:32Speaker 1they will run just testosterone. Like, what's your free testosterone? Well, I don't see that. Or estrogen or all that stuff. Like you just said,
8:40Speaker 1see that every day. Yeah. And it's like such a problem because it's like, you, it's like you took a picture and you're trying to explain the picture and all you see is the corner.
8:48Speaker 3You know what mean? Then you're trying to like, like explain the picture and you don't see any of it. You know what I mean? We have guys who call in and they say, Hey, I'd like to schedule an appointment. I already have my labs done.
8:58Speaker 3My
9:00Speaker 3wife, Laura, who runs the place says, Well, what labs do you have? Well, says here testosterone,
9:06Speaker 3hemoglobin and PSA. And
9:09Speaker 3she'll say, well, unfortunately we can't see you yet. We have a lot more to check. And, you know, they'll kind of get a little attitude about it. And
9:17Speaker 3usually they call back and say, okay,
9:20Speaker 3let's
9:21Speaker 3just do the labs. But it is, you don't want,
9:24Speaker 3I mean,
9:26Speaker 2that's like,
9:28Speaker 1want to do it doesn't even like, you want to see that. You what mean? Like you need to see that. What is the difference between free testosterone and bioavailable testosterone? So free,
9:38Speaker 3let's put it like this. Free is almost like gross income versus net income.
9:43Speaker 3It's like, how much of your total do you have available
9:48Speaker 3to be used in your body? How much is
9:51Speaker 2free? How much is your pocket? We have 3 things that we're looking at. We have total.
9:56Speaker 3So we have 3 and bioavailable. Because what happens if your total is over here,
10:01Speaker 3but your free is over here. The take home story is the higher you're free,
10:07Speaker 3the more of the total you get to use.
10:10Speaker 3So you, if you have a total of 1,000
10:13Speaker 3and a free of 50,
10:16Speaker 3you don't get to use Jack of that. I mean, you're like, that puts you down to like 400.
10:22Speaker 3What happens if you have a total of 300 and a free of 40?
10:27Speaker 3That's really puts you at about 175.
10:30Speaker 3What happens if you're at 1000 and
10:33Speaker 3your free T is 200 or above? Boom.
10:38Speaker 3This is our sweet this or more. We can go way over here and still be in this scenario. This fella
10:44Speaker 3is able to use the majority of this 1,000 and feel like a savage,
10:51Speaker 3then the bioavailable,
10:52Speaker 3boom. So bioavailable shows us
10:55Speaker 3how much do you have available that is not bound up in your liver
11:00Speaker 3and other receptors of the body.
11:03Speaker 3So
11:04Speaker 3usually these 2 go hand in hand. If this one's low, this one's most likely going to be low too. Or if this one's low assuredly,
11:12Speaker 3these are going to be low for sure. Because we, you know, I'll see someone here, but then they're over here with the free and they're bioavailable. Yeah.
11:19Speaker 1What
11:20Speaker 1would affect, cause you, you see sometimes somebody has 1000,
11:25Speaker 1right? And that's, that's a fairly good total test, you know? And then you have somebody that has like a 6,
11:31Speaker 1what would be like, why would that be such a drastic difference? Because that is extremely low on the free test.
11:39Speaker 3Why would it be such a dramatic? What you want? Cause we had that question recently, which is So it could, yes. So that's this exact thing right here. So the lower your free T and low your bioavailable,
11:51Speaker 3the more we know that your testosterone is being bound up
11:56Speaker 3more specifically in the liver. So what do we do if we're gonna, there's ways to free up your free T. If this is already high, which is, this is not the typical. This is not typical 1000 and then you're here. Usually a typical is you're here and it just goes like this. It's a downward spiral.
12:14Speaker 3But if you're going to, if we're going to increase your testosterone inevitably,
12:17Speaker 3especially if we use other things like HCG, we're going to be increasing the free with it.
12:22Speaker 3But if we have this scenario, we know inevitably that you have too much testosterone bound up in the liver
12:29Speaker 3receptors and we need to free that up. There are ways to free that up. How do do that? Well, it could be just HCG.
12:36Speaker 1Could be things like boron supplements like that. So let's talk about that for 1 2nd because this is super interesting. So you generally speaking, HCG
12:45Speaker 1for people that are not you that know all about this would be taken for guys that want to stay fertile, that don't want their
12:53Speaker 1testicles to shrink.
12:55Speaker 1So would you say for most men on TRT that you're going to recommend HCG no matter what?
13:01Speaker 1I-
13:03Speaker 3For that reason. Don't even start recommending like I say your treatment is going to look like this.
13:10Speaker 3Testosterone,
13:11Speaker 32, the special sauce. I could call it whatever they want because my counterparts in Southern California
13:17Speaker 3are not giving this. They're just giving testosterone.
13:20Speaker 3They're sending them out of the office by, and then they end up coming in all messed up. But HCG is like the special sauce. 1, what does it do?
13:27Speaker 3It keeps your testes working. We just say balls. We just say balls. We don't need- That's right. Testicles, we don't need to be on- Keeps your balls work working. If your balls aren't working, it turns them on,
13:39Speaker 3Keeps them revved up, which 3 increases
13:43Speaker 3or helps to increase your natural T. So when I say we're giving you testosterone, you're getting
13:49Speaker 3exogenous,
13:50Speaker 3but you're getting the real thing too. You know, you know that saying there's nothing like the real thing. That's
13:56Speaker 1right. I love it. You're getting both. That's right. 4 prevents
13:59Speaker 3your nuts from shrinking.
14:02Speaker 35 keeps you fertile. And 6,
14:05Speaker 3we don't know what causes this. It tends to give you this sense of like the mental well-being.
14:11Speaker 3We're not sure if it has to do with the increase in the estrogen, a little spike in estrogen,
14:16Speaker 3but guys who are on this,
14:18Speaker 3they just seem to feel a little bit better than the guys are just on testosterone. Yeah.
14:23Speaker 3Do
14:36Speaker 3another,
14:37Speaker 3this is it. But then when they say,
14:39Speaker 3oh, the HCG is too expensive. I'm like, look, we have balls for a reason. Yeah.
14:45Speaker 3What we're gonna
14:48Speaker 3to me, rationally, logically, it doesn't make sense to shut down a whole system of our body,
14:55Speaker 3even if you don't want to be fertile. Okay. I've already snipped. It doesn't matter.
14:58Speaker 3I don't care. Okay. So we just took out 1 reason. So we're not worried about your fertility. We still want your balls to be on. We still want to rev them up. We still want to naturally increase your testosterone. What happens if you have
15:10Speaker 3to or want to come off of this later?
15:12Speaker 3You don't have to wait a year or 2 years to rev your nuts back up. They're already on.
15:18Speaker 2That's right. Makes sense. Do you mind sharing with us- Dosages? Your dosage, starting dosage for HCG- You
15:25Speaker 2can say no, if
15:27Speaker 2you don't want to give away this- Oh, no,
15:30Speaker 3generally,
15:31Speaker 3and this is, I'm not anyone's doctor here because
15:35Speaker 3this is what happens.
15:37Speaker 3Guys call in and they'll say, well, what dosages are you giving? And basically I'm like, I just
15:43Speaker 3gave them. Yeah.
15:46Speaker 3I like to say they've got to put some kind of skin in the game for me to tell you how I'm going to do this. But generally speaking,
15:53Speaker 3if we're looking for just to
15:56Speaker 3keep your testes working, we're looking at 500 IUs Monday
16:01Speaker 3and Friday.
16:02Speaker 3That's enough to keep them on to increase your natural. Now,
16:06Speaker 3if you're actively trying to reproduce,
16:09Speaker 3boom, we need to increase that big time. So 1000 IUs Monday,
16:14Speaker 3Wednesday, and Friday. And this is generally for the younger guy,
16:19Speaker 3who's been turned away by their fertility specialist saying, sorry,
16:23Speaker 3IVF, they're trying to sell IVF. I mean, I've had
16:27Speaker 3handfuls of guys saying,
16:29Speaker 3I can't get, we can't get pregnant. And
16:32Speaker 36 months later, they're like calling me crying. Oh my God, my wife's pregnant. I'm like,
16:38Speaker 3helped you do that. We're
16:41Speaker 1not doctors,
16:43Speaker 3but there's
16:44Speaker 1doctors that literally
16:46Speaker 3don't know that you can stay at testosterone and get the proof is in the pudding, man. Works. And I, by the way, it worked for me too. I'm 48. I have
16:57Speaker 3a 3 year old
16:59Speaker 3that
17:01Speaker 1wasn't supposed to happen. Yeah. Like,
17:04Speaker 3yeah, she's great. But like I had a guy tell me, you know, you don't make enough
17:09Speaker 3swimmers to get your wife pregnant. I'm like, oh man, okay, what do we do?
17:16Speaker 2I did exactly this. And then boom, yeah, The doctor told you that? What do about, what do you think about adding
17:22Speaker 2Enclomiphene
17:23Speaker 2in that
17:24Speaker 3thoughts? So this is going to be, this is going to be controversial and there's going to probably be,
17:29Speaker 3there's an entire industry revolved around Enclomiphene.
17:32Speaker 3When
17:33Speaker 3I started this practice 3 years ago,
17:36Speaker 3everyone did not get HCG.
17:38Speaker 3They got T and Enclomiphene.
17:41Speaker 31,
17:42Speaker 3because it's a pill. It's easier, right? And 2, it's more affordable.
17:46Speaker 3But here's the deal.
17:48Speaker 3Since then, I have taken
17:52Speaker 3probably 90 percent of my patients off of this because
17:57Speaker 3of the side effects.
17:59Speaker 3And because it wasn't
18:02Speaker 3initially
18:04Speaker 3created or found out that it works. It wasn't meant to be used long term.
18:10Speaker 3So some of the side effects, and this is, I've taken this myself,
18:16Speaker 3severe headaches, mood swings,
18:18Speaker 3even had a guy,
18:20Speaker 3ideation call me up at 12PM
18:23Speaker 31 night. And
18:24Speaker 3this happened as well.
18:27Speaker 320, I have over 1000 patients, about 20 times
18:31Speaker 3I've repeated their labs and their testosterone was in the tank.
18:36Speaker 3And I was like,
18:38Speaker 3this is impossible. I
18:40Speaker 3call the pharmacist at the compounding pharmacy. I'm like, have you seen this? He said, Oh yeah, in a small subsection,
18:47Speaker 3it'll do the exact opposite. And I'm like,
18:51Speaker 1The Enclomiphene
18:52Speaker 1will bring the testosterone down.
18:54Speaker 3We took them off of this 3
18:56Speaker 3months later,
18:58Speaker 3HCG they're back, you know, they're back where they should. And that was, it was a really hard thing for me to have to take
19:04Speaker 3400 patients off of Enclomiphene. And
19:07Speaker 3you have all the social
19:09Speaker 3media companies, Maximus,
19:12Speaker 3they're basically calling Enclomiphene
19:15Speaker 3oral testosterone.
19:17Speaker 1And it's not, it's well, they're trying to tap into the dudes that have no idea about testosterone. So they're the dudes in the stands yelling at us going, you guys aren't cheaters and all this stupid stuff.
19:29Speaker 1They're just uneducated.
19:30Speaker 1And they, so there would be like,
19:33Speaker 1I don't want to take testosterone.
19:35Speaker 3So
19:36Speaker 1enclomiphene
19:37Speaker 3would be something that many people would suggest. Now let's talk about that. Let me 1 more thing. What
19:44Speaker 3I have found is that enclomiphene does not work for 100 percent of men. We're talking, when I'm thinking about 1000 patients, I'm like, wait a minute, I'd
19:53Speaker 3say it's about 60 percent. But it doesn't? It does. It just doesn't work. You
19:59Speaker 3just, we don't know how, essentially
20:02Speaker 3we're increasing your FSH and LH and the pituitary,
20:05Speaker 3sending a signal to our balls to 1,
20:08Speaker 3naturally increase test and naturally increase sperm. We don't know how the pituitary is gonna react.
20:14Speaker 3You could get a your pituitary could be dormant and you give it this and these guys get great results. I mean, I've had got great results. And then
20:23Speaker 36 months pass,
20:25Speaker 012 months pass,
20:26Speaker 0doc, I don't feel anything. We check it and it's their level.
20:31Speaker 0Ultra running shoes are all about space.
20:34Speaker 0The space to go further,
20:35Speaker 0to feel better, to do something you never thought possible, and this space starts with Ultra Fit. Unlike traditional running shoes, Ultra Fit gives toes more room to move naturally,

20:56Speaker 0That's altrarunning.com.
21:00Speaker 3Have gone down to 400. Woah. So On the things that you're seeing, I don't even present in clomiphene anymore just because of the side effects
21:08Speaker 3and my personal
21:11Speaker 3observation.
21:12Speaker 2Mhmm. It works in some some people, because I will say, like, I know
21:17Speaker 22 people personally who, like, had never touched tests. They went to doc, test was low, they ran some Enclomiphene and their tests went up by about a, by a couple 100 points. Yeah. No, but again, we always talk about this every step when we're talking like, everybody's different. Sorry. Everyone's Everyone. So drugs I've had guys go up 600
21:35Speaker 3points. And I'm like Yeah.
21:37Speaker 3That's great. He's like, but I still don't feel So
21:40Speaker 3what happens?
21:41Speaker 3These guys that have only started out on just Enclomiphene at the beginning,
21:46Speaker 3100%
21:47Speaker 3of them
21:48Speaker 3have called me up 6 months later and said, okay, I'm ready.
21:53Speaker 3I'm like ready for what? I'm ready to start the test.
21:56Speaker 3Congratulations.
21:57Speaker 3And then I'm talking a month later, they're texting and calling. 3 weeks later, thank you. I feel like a new man. I should've just heard, listened to you from the but get
22:06Speaker 3I don't know everything.
22:07Speaker 2Just an observation.
22:08Speaker 2Hey, how many what percentage of people would you say start testosterone, regular testosterone, and then maybe a month, 2 months be like, you know what? I don't like how I feel. Right? And I know that's probably there's probably some people,
22:20Speaker 2but it just want to kind of show tell the audience like, Oh, how many people started and started. Then they're like, I don't like this feeling. I don't like how that, what this is doing to me. I think I heard of a guy like a couple of years ago on a guy somewhere.
22:36Speaker 1You know what I mean? Let me answer that. It's the guys that don't take it properly, meaning like they don't take it in their proper doses, milligrams per week that's prescribed. They forget to take it. So there's like, you know mean? This is the God's honest
22:51Speaker 3answer.
22:52Speaker 3I have had 0 people say they don't like it. I have had a handful say,
22:59Speaker 3after I check-in with everyone at 60 days, we do 60 to 90 days, we do repeat labs. I
23:06Speaker 3haven't really noticed anything yet.
23:10Speaker 3I have noticed that. Haven't anyone saying, nah,
23:13Speaker 3this isn't real. Everyone has said,
23:15Speaker 3and I tell them, it's not if this works,
23:20Speaker 3it's when it works. Do that, man. Yeah. So, no, I've had 6
23:26Speaker 3months later someone say, You know,
23:28Speaker 3I broke out in a few,
23:30Speaker 3had some bad acne and I don't want to go back to when I was in high school, I got made fun of, then stop.
23:36Speaker 3But I've never had someone say, I don't like the way it makes me feel. 0. Yeah.
23:42Speaker 1Fair. Good. So you have,
23:45Speaker 1I know that we've talked a little bit about some AIs and that's a little bit different. I think that is
23:51Speaker 1going to be different for some doctors. So before I dig into this, let me tell you a little bit about my experience
23:56Speaker 1from the fitness side.
23:58Speaker 1Like the same doctors that are, they go get blood work, they run testosterone,
24:03Speaker 1total tests. They had that, there's nothing else. And they put them on 200 mg of testosterone,
24:08Speaker 1Symphony and Arimidex,
24:10Speaker 1right? Whatever it be, be a mega week or whatever. And they, that's what they prescribed them off the gates. And they don't run any other tests. That is what a MD
24:19Speaker 1plural,
24:21Speaker 1was running across in a high, a pretty high percentage of guys that I 60
24:26Speaker 1percent were on TRT, the other 40 percent, I would have them go get their blood work. And so we would, I'm not a doctor, but I would give them some guidance on things that I've worked And that would, I would be blown away by doctors that would just do that out the gate. Like, it's not 1 shoe fits every size. It's just crazy. It's not cookie cutter. Yes. At all. You, I know, have some different opinions on AIs
24:46Speaker 1than
24:47Speaker 1most. So let's talk a little bit about that. Is there a time when you would recommend it at all? Or give us somebody asked me yesterday, what does AI mean? So could you tell the It's artificial intelligence. Yeah.
24:59Speaker 2Or artificial insemination.
25:00Speaker 3Chatching teeth. Which never thought about that. So 1st off, before we start talking about AIs and estrogen in men, I wanna there's this quote,
25:10Speaker 3because this is gonna stir up a lot of stuff in guys because they read on a bodybuilding forum or their friend told them at the gym or Reddit told them or they Googled on AI estrogen in men.
25:25Speaker 3It's far better to walk alone than with a crowd that's going in the wrong direction.
25:31Speaker 3So you
25:33Speaker 3have that, you know why those people do that?
25:36Speaker 3To me,
25:37Speaker 3it seems like that's how they were taught. You mean the MDs?
25:42Speaker 3You go to
25:44Speaker 3American Academy, all these different conferences. Every
25:49Speaker 3clinic that I've had a patient leave
25:52Speaker 3and come to me, which is we're talking in the hundreds now, that's
25:56Speaker 3their cookie cutter approach.
25:59Speaker 3I don't know how they got that number or why they're giving them 0.5 CC twice a week with 0.5 mg of anastrozole,
26:08Speaker 3which is an AI, an estrogen blocker twice a week. But that's what they were taught.
26:13Speaker 3That's the way their doctor taught them. And what do we call that? It's,
26:18Speaker 3there's this idea.
26:20Speaker 3The 1st thing you heard is the 1 thing that's engraved
26:24Speaker 3in your brain and that's called
26:26Speaker 3confirmation bias. Okay. Sure. Makes sense. You heard that and then you heard, saw or heard it again. So that must be the truth. Yeah.
26:34Speaker 3Yeah.
26:35Speaker 3But I
26:36Speaker 3thought the same thing. My doctor 16 years ago when I started TRT,
26:41Speaker 3I don't even think it was called TRT. He was just like, your testosterone's
26:45Speaker 3300. And I'm like,
26:47Speaker 3wait, I'm not invincible?
26:49Speaker 3So he's saying, you have to You take
26:51Speaker 3have to take this to block your estrogen. I'm like, sweet. So for 10 years, I took an estrogen blocker and
26:59Speaker 3physically
27:00Speaker 3I looked good,
27:02Speaker 3but here we go for talking like there's no filters here. Like libido was in the gutter.
27:09Speaker 3Boners were not like my normal, like, okay.
27:12Speaker 3Something was off. And
27:14Speaker 3I literally took this 3 times a week for years
27:18Speaker 3and I'm like, something's wrong.
27:20Speaker 1Well, you hear that commonly,
27:23Speaker 1libido will actually be not,
27:26Speaker 1they'll actually go down on testosterone.
27:29Speaker 1So let's talk about that. So you're saying that a lot of it could be the AI?
27:34Speaker 3Okay.
27:36Speaker 3So let's talk about
27:38Speaker 350
27:39Speaker 3of your libido and sexual function
27:42Speaker 3is due to estrogen. A
27:45Speaker 3lot of guys think,
27:47Speaker 3oh, it's all testosterone. The more testosterone, the better though.
27:51Speaker 3If I have estrogen, that's going to turn me into a girl and I'm going to, you know, no,
27:56Speaker 3no, physiologically
27:57Speaker 350%
27:58Speaker 3of your sexual function,
28:00Speaker 3meaning your libido, erection quality is due to estrogen. But if you tell that to a man who's heard something else, they're gonna be like, this
28:09Speaker 3guy's a quack. He has no idea what he's talking about. But go back to what you were saying. When I,
28:16Speaker 3when things weren't working with me, I was like, oh my God,
28:20Speaker 3I've
28:21Speaker 3got to, I have to, I'm stopping this. And it took 3 months. And
28:25Speaker 3then suddenly I'm waking up
28:29Speaker 3pitching a tent. You got 3 months off of the AI? Yes. Yes.
28:34Speaker 3And then when I started the practice, I thought, you know what, let's
28:39Speaker 3not, let's give them some, but let's only give them a little bit. So let's
28:44Speaker 3basically,
28:46Speaker 3let's not fully screw them up. Let's only screw them up a little bit now looking back on it. Yeah.
28:51Speaker 1Your intentions were good because that's what you knew. That's what now is more experience.
28:57Speaker 3But then you start to look in like, okay, what are the guys,
29:01Speaker 3the experts know about this? So
29:04Speaker 3this is a funny
29:06Speaker 3story. And when I used to start these guys, I give them an Astros all now and I literally on the instructions say,
29:14Speaker 3do not take on
29:16Speaker 3the instructions
29:18Speaker 3because they want, I want to feel like they have it in case they- They feel better.
29:24Speaker 1Because that's what they know. So like
29:26Speaker 380 percent of my patients are now not taking any AIs and it's, I've lost patients.
29:32Speaker 3Really? They've left because they're like, no, I
29:35Speaker 3went to this other doctor and he said, I always need to be on this. So this is a funny story. I get these calls and texts from my patients.
29:44Speaker 3Tyler,
29:45Speaker 3doc,
29:46Speaker 3I need to talk to you.
29:47Speaker 3When can we schedule a call?
29:50Speaker 3And instantly I know exactly what they're gonna ask
29:54Speaker 3or what they're gonna tell me. And I'll get on the phone and it's like, okay, so you can't get it up and your libido is down. Yeah, my wife thinks I'm cheating on her. And I'm like, okay, are you ready to stop taking this pill?
30:07Speaker 3I'm willing to do anything. Do I need Cialis? Well, we can do that. I want you to stop taking this pill 1st. I'm
30:15Speaker 3gonna report
30:16Speaker 3back in a month. And
30:18Speaker 3they're like, okay, we're good, man. I'm waking up with boners.
30:22Speaker 3Everything's working good again. And I'm like,
30:24Speaker 3okay.
30:27Speaker 3It just kept happening.
30:29Speaker 3And that is because they are taking too much and they are crashing their estrogen.
30:33Speaker 3Crashing their estrogen. But we also need to discuss that when we're not talking about the normal person who's not, we're talking about guys who are taking Optimize.
30:43Speaker 3Optimizing their testosterone. That
30:46Speaker 3conversion to estrogen
30:50Speaker 3is good.
30:52Speaker 3It's good.
30:54Speaker 3Having higher estrogen
30:55Speaker 3from the conversion of testosterone is good. Not having high estrogen when you're obese,
31:01Speaker 1having metabolic syndrome, insulin sensitivity, and high blood pressure. So when does it come too high? I love this. This is great. So when does that become too high? So we want estrogen because estrogen is going help with erections.
31:12Speaker 1Love estrogen
31:13Speaker 2converted from testosterone. Not- We're
31:15Speaker 1talking specifically
31:17Speaker 3about men
31:18Speaker 3who
31:19Speaker 3are on testosterone
31:21Speaker 3therapy.
31:22Speaker 1So what about the, yeah, so if you start taking too much testosterone where it goes into a steroid cycle that-
31:29Speaker 3We're not talking about those.
31:30Speaker 1I'm just saying like, would it, when was that, would that estrogen be too much to where you would need you, you personally think that you would need to bring it down on a TRT level? Wouldn't worry about it. Wouldn't
31:40Speaker 3go to the degree where like a 90 year clamshell. My estrogen is 150.
31:44Speaker 1And he told me, I was telling him,
31:46Speaker 3when I saw that, I was almost embarrassed and I was like, oh my,
31:51Speaker 3day when I was like, wait, you told me your numbers. And I was like, I wouldn't have known- couldn't believe it, dude. But I'm like, okay, wait a minute.
31:57Speaker 3This is the best I've ever felt. Like
32:00Speaker 3I pop up at a bed and I'm
32:03Speaker 3the 1st 1 up, I'm the last 1 to go to sleep, wake up with boners every day. I more sex with
32:09Speaker 3my wife than ever. Like everything's
32:12Speaker 3working. Am, by the way,
32:15Speaker 3this is a confirmation bias too.
32:18Speaker 3Are told and are misled that the higher the estrogen,
32:23Speaker 3the higher the
32:25Speaker 3body fat,
32:26Speaker 3which is
32:27Speaker 2completely
32:30Speaker 3the wrong thing.
32:32Speaker 3I mean The higher the estrogen,
32:34Speaker 3the more your metabolic system is going to be on fire and you're going to actually drop body fat. I'm going to have people, we're going have people comment on that, but I will dare them. We're used to. We're fine. It's fine. Okay, cool. It is. Yeah. Yeah. Mean, neither is this. But I feel like the inverse, like, so
32:50Speaker 2somebody who is obese in general
32:53Speaker 2has higher estrogen. It's the fat that causes the estrogen, not the estrogen that causes the fat. Correct. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. So people are not optimized though. Like if they're overweight and they're not completely different conversations.
33:04Speaker 3I'm saying so like, we're not, like, you're
33:06Speaker 3Completely different conversation.
33:08Speaker 3Is, there is our studies showing that men who are obese
33:11Speaker 3with metabolic syndrome, insulin sensitivity,
33:14Speaker 3and estrogen elevated that have had a higher risk of heart attacks. And you know what they blamed it on? It's gotta be the estrogen.
33:22Speaker 3But there are in 50 years, if you've, there's an expert, Doctor. Neil Rouge, 50 years
33:29Speaker 3of clinical evidence and medical research,
33:32Speaker 3there is no studies that correlate
33:34Speaker 3testosterone
33:36Speaker 3that converts into estrogen causing
33:39Speaker 3heart disease,
33:40Speaker 3cancer, or anything else. Actually,
33:44Speaker 3it lowers your morbidity and mortality
33:46Speaker 3up to 30 to 40 percent. I don't know. So it is a lot of the positive effects of testosterone are actually from the conversion to estrogen. Okay. That's awesome. Well,
33:58Speaker 1with that being said, you work with so many people and me, Will and I talk about it to the degree where like,
34:03Speaker 1we're a science project. It is not 1 size fits all. You have to find your sweet spots. There's levels like you told me your levels. I was like, woah,
34:10Speaker 1because that to me,
34:12Speaker 1just in this realm, that was high. But if you feel great, who gives a shit?
34:17Speaker 1Who cares?
34:18Speaker 2You're not having these symptoms. I don't see much of acne. You look lean.
34:23Speaker 1Let's
34:24Speaker 1talk about numbers to the degree where we can be vague of like, is there somewhat
34:30Speaker 1of a typical person, like a sweet spot, so to speak. Because before this conversation, I think I'm
34:36Speaker 1changing a little bit already, but like I would have said like 1000
34:41Speaker 1total tests give or take 50 free tests.
34:45Speaker 1That is generally, but you're saying you can do much liar. I'm going love it because I'm curious. This is a number. Doesn't matter. Number doesn't matter. How do you feel?
34:54Speaker 3That's it. How do you feel? How do you perform?
34:57Speaker 3If we get your, your numbers back and it's 1000 and your, estrogen, the, the, use a quest, so it's a 0 to 39 and you're at 60. The 1st question I ask is how are you feeling?
35:10Speaker 3Feel great. I feel great. Hey, but I noticed my estrogen was in the red. I'm like disregard
35:15Speaker 3that. Remember
35:18Speaker 3the higher your testosterone, the higher we want your estrogen. Yeah. You know, my workouts are great. My energy is good. My focus, I'm sleeping better. My sex life. Okay.
35:27Speaker 3So the answer is we're not chasing the number.
35:31Speaker 3Cause if you read the literature or some of the Reddit, you want a 20%
35:36Speaker 3ratio, a 20 to 1. And I'm like,
35:39Speaker 3if we're going to be chasing this 20 to 1 ratio, we're going be checking your blood like every
35:44Speaker 3week. Like, that's just not realistic.
35:47Speaker 3How are we ever going to get to a 20 to 1 ratio?
35:52Speaker 3Someone made that
35:54Speaker 3conversion up somewhere and that's what So if you read that on Reddit 6 times, you're gonna think, oh, this Yeah, I need it to be within normal range.
36:03Speaker 2Interesting. I agree. I agree with you. I think the last couple podcasts I've said, you know, I just did blood tests.
36:09Speaker 3I just would go how you feel. Yeah. Even if like same thing with testosterone though.
36:15Speaker 3Someone's 800,
36:17Speaker 3they may not feel good.
36:19Speaker 3And you bump up their dose just a little bit, 5 units or 20
36:23Speaker 3mg a week, and they get to 1100 and suddenly they feel unstoppable.
36:28Speaker 3Someone
36:29Speaker 3who's at 800,
36:31Speaker 3who started at 200, he may feel amazing now.
36:34Speaker 3If I was at 800, I wouldn't feel that great. My sweet spot's usually like 1,200,
36:39Speaker 3maybe even a little bit more.
36:41Speaker 2So tell us about methods
36:44Speaker 2of administration.
36:45Speaker 2What do you guys do at your practice? Is it all injectable? Do you guys do do pellet? I know there's all types of different things. What do you think about,
36:52Speaker 2sub Q?
36:53Speaker 2These are basic questions that everybody's got. So yeah,
36:59Speaker 3the standard of care
37:01Speaker 3used to be, I mean, you even talk about these specialists,
37:04Speaker 3these urologists,
37:06Speaker 3standard of care used to be 1 injection every 2 weeks. Then
37:11Speaker 3it changed to 1 a week.
37:14Speaker 3When I have people come to the practice all the time and they're like, yeah, my doctor has me on 1 shot a week and like, I feel good. Then something's,
37:21Speaker 3I'm like, that's
37:23Speaker 3not the standard of care. Minimum
37:26Speaker 32 times a week now. So we do Monday and Friday. And guys who are injection
37:31Speaker 3naive, meaning they've never injected before. We start with SubQ. Okay.
37:38Speaker 3If you were to ask a bodybuilder- Test
37:40Speaker 3it. Intermediate acting
37:44Speaker 3seems to be the best. I think it's the best. We're not, I'm not
37:48Speaker 3treating many bodybuilders
37:49Speaker 3or physique competitors, so we're not worried about a whole lot of different esters or long
37:54Speaker 3acting versus short acting and
37:56Speaker 3seems to be the best universally
37:58Speaker 3accepted too. Yeah.
38:01Speaker 3What's going on? So subQ, you started with subQ. SubQ.
38:04Speaker 3Now,
38:05Speaker 3subQ,
38:07Speaker 3again, you ask your bodybuilder friend, they'll say, No, it's
38:11Speaker 3more effective as it's rating your ass cheek rate in the muscle. Okay. But the literature shows that
38:18Speaker 3SubQ
38:19Speaker 3stays in the system longer,
38:22Speaker 3I'm gets or intramuscular
38:24Speaker 3gets in the system faster. So
38:27Speaker 3for rookies,
38:29Speaker 3we want you to be able to see what you're doing. So we just go SubQ.
38:32Speaker 3If they're ready to graduate and say, hey, you know, I'd
38:36Speaker 3rather do it in my butt cheek or my lateral thigh. Great. Some guys like to do it in their delts. At
38:43Speaker 3the end of the day, I honestly think at the end of the day, each his own. To each his own and the
38:50Speaker 3actual number or feeling, it's
38:54Speaker 3not any different. It's going in your system month
38:58Speaker 3after month,
38:59Speaker 3whether you do it. So I've done it sub Q and I didn't notice a difference. I prefer my lateral thigh. So
39:06Speaker 1to start out all sub Q. Yeah. Cool. And twice a week, do you ever usually twice a week? Usually There are some guys- The general starting dose of like the typical that you put or is it very
39:17Speaker 1literally-
39:18Speaker 3All of it depends on what their total and free is. So someone comes in and they're at $2.50, we're obviously going to start then. Yes, very common.
39:27Speaker 3On a little bit higher than someone who's at 400.
39:30Speaker 3And I have some guys that are coming at 50 and I'm like,
39:34Speaker 3I'm actually nervous for you.
39:37Speaker 3Seriously. This is making me anxious. Like,
39:39Speaker 3and I tell David, I'm like, tell this guy,
39:42Speaker 3Joe Smith to come in right now. Yeah. Poor guy. Yeah. I'm like, this is not okay. Does he know what stat means?
39:50Speaker 2So,
39:51Speaker 1okay. Great.
39:52Speaker 3Awesome.
39:54Speaker 2I agree. Like that matters. But
39:56Speaker 3it matters.
39:58Speaker 2Think that daily and I think, well, daily is a pain in the ass. Like, I mean,
40:04Speaker 2Pun intended. I think that it's probably the most effective. I don't keep you real even,
40:08Speaker 2but it just sucks.
40:09Speaker 3There's some others at clinic
40:12Speaker 3that does do the micro dosing daily. And yes, I would say it does mimic the body's natural
40:19Speaker 3testosterone
40:20Speaker 3release. But
40:22Speaker 3I mean, I personally,
40:23Speaker 3I don't What is realistic?
40:26Speaker 3Especially for a guy who is naive to this. What can you do? Who's never done this? For someone who's been injecting for 10 years, if you want to do it every day,
40:35Speaker 3great.
40:36Speaker 3If you want to do it Monday, Wednesday, Friday,
40:39Speaker 3that's good too. But
40:40Speaker 3for the guy who's never done it before, which is the typical move.
40:44Speaker 3Let's start with Monday and Friday. If we need to adjust later on, we can adjust, modify,
40:49Speaker 3whatever,
40:50Speaker 3and increase.
40:52Speaker 3Do you pellets? How about pellets? No. You do pellets? When I 1st started, we did pellets.

41:29Speaker 3At
41:30Speaker 3this time, I was still treating women and the 1st lady I did with pellets, she called me a week later and she said she was so horny that she wanted to screw the mailman.
41:41Speaker 3I was like, Oh, wow. And guess what? I can't adjust her dose. There's
41:46Speaker 3no adjustment.
41:48Speaker 3You are stuck with that for 3 or 4 She lives with a mailman now.
41:53Speaker 3When she said that, was like, wow,
41:55Speaker 3this stuff really works good. And
41:58Speaker 3then I've seen a couple of people, the incisions have opened up and then some have even gotten infected.
42:05Speaker 3So I'm like, okay,
42:08Speaker 3to me, I'm going to go with what is the best?
42:12Speaker 3Think this is the best. What is the most realistic?
42:15Speaker 3What is the least invasive?
42:16Speaker 3I mean, what can you control
42:18Speaker 3more?
42:19Speaker 3What can you adjust if it's too much? We just back your dose off. If it's too little, instead of waiting 3 or 4 months to me, that just some
42:28Speaker 3people who are advocates of pellets, that's great. If you get a great result, fine. That's
42:34Speaker 3personally not what I
42:36Speaker 3do. And the creams.
42:40Speaker 1No.
42:43Speaker 3We get some of those questions like, yay. I mean, I've done that too. I have a guy that swears
42:47Speaker 3by the cream,
42:49Speaker 3but out of over 1000 patients,
42:52Speaker 3have like 2 and they're all like 70 years old. This
42:57Speaker 2was a question earlier, but HGH and trying to make a baby.
43:02Speaker 2I've had doctors tell,
43:04Speaker 2friends of mine, man,
43:06Speaker 2should
43:07Speaker 2add in 1 IU of HGH because your sperm count is super low. I've had then people just recently where a chemist was like, if you're trying to make a baby, could pull the HGH, stop it. 0 Growth. You're talking growth hormone. Yep.
43:21Speaker 3It's beyond my expertise.
43:23Speaker 1I was on HGH, both kids, just so you know. So I don't know if that makes a difference. Mean, that's
43:30Speaker 3really interesting to see if growth hormone
43:34Speaker 3affects fertility.
43:35Speaker 3It's that's beyond, I have not heard or seen that if it is
43:40Speaker 3well, hell, that's great. It's
43:42Speaker 1interesting, Dihexa and clomiphene, because we've had this pop up and I've never taken it. But we get questions all the time. So this is great. I mean, it's been a good
43:51Speaker 2what else? What,
43:52Speaker 2about so many other treatments that you do that at your clinic that you think is really 1 good and forward and you're really helping men? Head of the
44:02Speaker 1I just kind of like, yeah, give us, what makes it a joke.
44:05Speaker 3Okay? So I'm
44:07Speaker 3your
44:08Speaker 3We're
44:09Speaker 3older guys, but we don't act like older guys, right? No. I'm
44:13Speaker 348 and I inevitably,
44:15Speaker 3you do too. Guarantee you do too.
44:18Speaker 3We're of the bigger stature.
44:20Speaker 3You have guys all What
44:22Speaker 3the time
44:23Speaker 3do you do? What do you do? What do you drink? What is your workout? What is your diet? What
44:29Speaker 3are your top 2, what are your best vitamins? And I'll say,
44:33Speaker 3and this is a joke, not joke,
44:36Speaker 3the most important vitamins
44:38Speaker 3are tea
44:40Speaker 1and GH. Yeah. I love it. Yeah.
44:43Speaker 3These 2 things together- Testosterone is just the godfather, man. This is the godfather and then
44:50Speaker 3you go- I love that, bro. Give me some Come on. I
44:53Speaker 3I I
44:55Speaker 3I literally tell people
44:57Speaker 3testosterone
44:58Speaker 3is the most crucial foundational chemical a man makes. We have been, what about the guys who say, Well, I don't want to become dependent on it. I'm like,
45:08Speaker 3dependent on it, by the way. Can depend on it since you're in your mother's womb. We're
45:14Speaker 3replacing
45:15Speaker 1what mother nature has taken I know people have a problem understanding that. That is so easy though. I feel like it's going away
45:21Speaker 3because of guys like us talking about it, but I'm like, these are the most important vitamins, even though they're not actually vitamins. It's like,
45:29Speaker 3When you optimize tea 1st
45:32Speaker 3and then you add a little bit of
45:35Speaker 3growth hormone, it's like-
45:38Speaker 3It's like- Dude, 100%.
45:40Speaker 3Is brighter. The colors are brighter.
45:44Speaker 3Your perspective is different and it doesn't take much. And we're not talking about bodybuilding doses. We're talking about just like- Longevity.
45:52Speaker 3People
45:53Speaker 3are like,
45:55Speaker 3what did you do? Are you doing something different? And I'm like, I'm not gonna tell them, but if they really wanna know, I'll tell them, but this is it, And
46:04Speaker 3then obviously tons
46:06Speaker 3of peptides,
46:08Speaker 3tons and tons and tons. I'd say we probably use about
46:11Speaker 312 peptides regularly.
46:14Speaker 3And 1 of those are several of those are growth hormone peptides. So the proof's in the pudding. We know growth hormone is like,
46:22Speaker 3in a nutshell, the fountain of youth.
46:25Speaker 3I tell people,
46:27Speaker 3heard of the book called like 10x.
46:29Speaker 3It's like when you optimize T 1st
46:32Speaker 3and you add growth hormone, you're like 10x ing, not,
46:36Speaker 3not your physique. This isn't just
46:39Speaker 3your life. Absolutely.
46:42Speaker 1Do you to feel the real life? I don't understand it. They're like, well, it's too expensive. And I'm like,
46:47Speaker 3look, either you're going to pay for it now or
46:50Speaker 3you're going to pay for it when you're 70
46:53Speaker 3and you're trying to crawl
46:55Speaker 3out of a hole from poor Way more money than
46:59Speaker 2those bills are gonna to you. Way more. Worked by 1000.
47:02Speaker 3You've to pay misery right now crawling through us. But humans are silly, right? But think about this too. Guys come in, they're like, oh, I can't afford $400 a month.
47:12Speaker 3And I'm like, is that your car right there? Yeah.
47:15Speaker 3How much do you pay for that?
47:18Speaker 3They're like, oh, it's my payment's like 800 a month. And I'm like, how many hours are you in your car?
47:24Speaker 3Like
47:25Speaker 31,
47:26Speaker 32 hours a day. How many hours are you in your body?
47:31Speaker 3They're like,
47:32Speaker 3all right, let's go. I'll
47:34Speaker 3sign up for 6 months. You know?
47:37Speaker 3Yeah. It's just, what's, what's more important to you at the time? What,
47:41Speaker 2what are your top 5 best selling peptides?
47:43Speaker 2Not that I shouldn't say sell whatever most was
47:46Speaker 2suggested.
47:47Speaker 3Well, this has recently changed.
49:39Speaker 3And this is great. I mean, is good systemically.
49:42Speaker 3It's amazing, dude. And if you have, you know, even a new or an old injury and,
49:49Speaker 3gut issues, of course.
49:51Speaker 1BPC
49:52Speaker 1literally, it's
49:54Speaker 1crazy because I've been using it forever. We were older guys. We're going to all lift until we die. That's who we are. I know that because I know everybody's in this table and
50:02Speaker 1I'm still
50:04Speaker 1freaking blown away by how good it is. You like, I'll have an injury and then I'll take it like 3 days later. I'm like, dude, I don't even feel it. It just continues to blow my mind. Even though I know how amazing it is. I'm still like, holy shit. It's
50:17Speaker 3amazing.
50:18Speaker 1Never.
50:31Speaker 3Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Which has the- All of them. Yeah. It's GHCP-three So
50:38Speaker 3I would say
50:40Speaker 3those 5 1 are the, I'd
50:43Speaker 3say are probably 80% of the peptides that I give my patients. And then you have your others. That's
50:48Speaker 1great. I mean, that that'll change the appetite,
50:52Speaker 1but that's, that seems to have just fallen by the wayside. 0 Yeah. It's definitely falling clip. But like, example, for example, some, some people,
51:01Speaker 1if you want to lose 50 pounds or more, I have recommended to some friends that Tirzepatide does work because it does block the hunger more. If you have a 50 pounds or more,
51:12Speaker 1need to stop eating and the Reddit throws a wrench in it because they still get hungry. And we need to block the hunger. So again,
51:19Speaker 1everybody's different, but Tirzepatide has its place. If we're working on a project like that,
51:23Speaker 1yeah, maybe start here. Start them in and blend them in. Because we all know here, Reta is a God, it's scientific
51:29Speaker 1breakthrough, but sometimes Tercepta has a place. To remember too well that HCG
51:35Speaker 2is a subtype.
51:37Speaker 3Yeah.
51:39Speaker 3That's a winner. But people don't, I don't think people realize that. No, they don't.
51:43Speaker 2And HGH is the ultimate peptide.
51:46Speaker 2Yes.
51:47Speaker 1I love it, man. The TRT and the HGH
51:50Speaker 1are just in my repertoire. I run 2 units and that's all I needed, man. I love it. Do you use stress hormone? Yes, I do. You do, don't you? Yeah, absolutely. I
52:00Speaker 3do 2 I use. That's what I do. I love it. I love it. A
52:06Speaker 2feeling. You know, I have done it. I did it for a year and 0.5 and then I stopped. And then when I stopped is when I went, Oh yeah, that's what it was doing. Does. Holy crap. Takes a little bit to rev up,
52:17Speaker 3but then once it hits, it's you're in like, and it's not the way you, yes, the way you feel is important, but when other people are like,
52:25Speaker 3what are you doing?
52:28Speaker 3I've even had guys who haven't told their wives
52:31Speaker 3and their wife is like, you're
52:33Speaker 2doing
52:34Speaker 3something. What is it? Yeah.
52:36Speaker 3Anyway,
52:38Speaker 3that's a good conversation.
52:39Speaker 1That was good. We love it. We love these conversations. I knew that was 3
52:43Speaker 2dudes talking around the table about stuff we love, man. Like this game. We're just started, didn't we? Yeah. Well, shoot, we're about time, man. Now we're in. That's how fast an hour goes dude. Tell everybody. Yeah. Like we're going to find you. Do they find you and how do get ahold of you? So where do they find me?

53:08Speaker 3take action. So actiontrt.com.
53:11Speaker 3ActionTRT
53:12Speaker 3high performance on Instagram. Unfortunately,

53:57Speaker 1We want to help people feel good, man. If you are struggling with trying to get on TRT, if you do not know by now by just listening to this, I'm gonna shake you.
54:07Speaker 3There's 1 thing, 1 last thing I'd like to say. I feel like a lot of these TRT clinics and anti aging clinics, you go in, they give you the same dose and you're on your way.
54:18Speaker 3Something that is different about my practice and about my team is
54:23Speaker 3that you're not alone. Like you have access to us. You can text and call David. You can text and call Laura. They are like extensions of my brain. And then finally you can text and call me. So this is not like,
54:36Speaker 3Hey, here's your bottle of This is not a test dispenser,
54:40Speaker 3which those are fine too, but this is a service and we're here to guide you through every step of the way, make adjustments, do frequent labs every 60, 90 days,
54:49Speaker 3whatever. But this is not alone. There's no,
54:52Speaker 2there's no straight lines in life. Right? Yeah. Well, it sounds like it. If you're telling me that you're getting text messages at midnight, you've made yourself available. Good for you. And I know that's tough. Yeah,
55:02Speaker 3well that phone goes in way.
55:05Speaker 2That's right
55:06Speaker 2on man. We'll cool. We
55:08Speaker 2learned a lot. Thank you. A great show.
55:10Speaker 1Was a good man. We've been trying to get on for a while. We wanted to wait until the the podcast room was ready and bought it. It was lives better. I'm glad we didn't do that.
55:17Speaker 1Was glad we waited. We almost did it a few months ago. This is so much better. Yeah, you guys should be proud of yourselves. This is good. Yeah, it's been good, man. So everybody else, we got the Q and A next. We will be recording
55:27Speaker 1it in the next couple of days. I will be putting it out on my story. We'll get some updated questions and fire away.
55:34Speaker 2There was a quest sorry to interrupt you. There was a question from last time that I'm gonna maybe shoot to you. Mhmm. Sure. Maybe giving you a little written answer and so I can tell the guy. It was a really it was basically like, hey, I'm taking to TRT,
55:49Speaker 2but I have no sex drive.
55:50Speaker 2And we went through the, Hey, could be estrogen, but I just want to hear, you probably mimic a lot of what we're going to say. But
55:57Speaker 2anyway,
55:58Speaker 3remember? Yeah.
56:00Speaker 2So I'll ask you and whoever wrote this comment or whoever requested, because like you were the dude that sucks. Yeah. Not being able to
56:07Speaker 2make sense. It doesn't make sense.
56:09Speaker 3It's not a fun testosterone
56:11Speaker 3does not give you erectile dysfunction.
56:13Speaker 3There's something else that else is that. So yeah.
56:17Speaker 1Cool. Good stuff. All right guys, we will catch you in the next round.
56:21Speaker 1Take care. Good day.
