SHR # 2459 :: RLRx: The Onset of Effects From Testosterone Replacement PLUS What I'm Digging...
Show Notes:
SHR 2459 [5:40] Some people are still on the fence about TRT due to 2 poor studies.
- One looked at catheterized patients ( with pre-existing heart issues) to examine the effects of testosterone on infarction rates.
- Most of the subjects only used 2 month’s-worth of test and then quit.
[14:20] Faith in a doctor’s competence of TRT knowledge?
- You have to find a specialist.
- General doctors don’t understand the pharmacokinetics of test esters.
- The field is saturated with doctors trying to get easy money with little knowledge.
[23:14] Subcutaneous injections.
[35:06] The onset of changes on TRT.
- All programs are 90 days before re-evaluation.
- Sexual interest- 3 weeks.
- Erections- 12 weeks.
- Mood- 3 weeks.
- Body composition: 12 weeks.
- 2 weeks in, you may feel like your old self, but your body is probably not up to the challenge.
- Ease into activity
[42:12] TRT is not an “eat anything with no consequence” card.
- When you get on TRT you have more of a responsibility to eat well.
[43:20] HRT and blood clots?
- Milo has not seen a direct correlation outside of those with pre-disposition.
[52:50] Bone mineral density takes the longest time to see results.
- Glycemic control- 12 weeks.
- Decrease in inflammation- 3 weeks.
- Insulin resistance leads to metabolic disorder, which leads to heart disease ( the #1 killer of Americans).
- TRT should be a tool to use against diabetes.
[56:26] TRT- drop in sperm count. How important is HCG?
- HCG can upregulate progesterone levels.
- LH can trigger sleep.
- Progesterone is not a “female hormone”.
[1:11:00] Carl addresses the backlash from some people about Legendary Foods’ new pastry.
- The mission of the show is to provoke critical thinking, not to gain an individual’s respect.
- Carl is not a purist or a zealot.
- The result of critical thinking will outperform textbook answers.
- Carl is a peer, not a guru.
- Happy birthday, Aaron Singerman.
