Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) Made a HUGE Difference
I have been on Testosterone Replacement Therapy or "TRT" for over a year now. It has dramatically improved the quality of my life despite the stigma surrounding it.
Testosterone therapy is a medical treatment that is used to supplement the body's natural production of the hormone testosterone. Testosterone is a male sex hormone that plays a critical role in the development and maintenance of male physical characteristics, such as muscle mass and strength, bone density, and body hair. It also plays a role in maintaining sexual function and libido. I never had sexual function challenges, so naturally I thought my testosterone levels were not low. Shockingly, I was wrong. It was the chronic fatigue, inability to lose weight and terrible workouts which were my biggest warnings signs.
Testosterone therapy can be used to treat men who have low levels of testosterone due to certain medical conditions, such as hypogonadism, or as a result of aging. In my case, my blood work came back with a level of 369 nanograms per deciliter. "Normal" is considered between 300 - 1100 ng/dL.
Testosterone is usually given as a gel, patch, injection, or implant. I, personally, prefer a single weekly injection. The therapy can help to increase muscle mass, strength and bone density, improve mood and libido. However, it is important to note that testosterone therapy may come with some risks, such as heart attack, stroke, and prostate cancer if abused. I take 110mg once a week along with a shot of Human Chorionic Gonadotropin or "HCG" and an estrogen blocker.
A doctor should carefully evaluate your unique condition and symptoms before starting testosterone therapy. Everyone has a different physiology and you need constant bloodwork in addition to professional medical oversight. Do not self treat.
