Summary of "TRT Coach SPEAKS OUT: 9 Critical LESSONS I learned (HINT: These are BIG)"
Summary of Key Wellness Strategies and Productivity Tips from "TRT Coach SPEAKS OUT: 9 Critical LESSONS I learned (HINT: These are BIG)"
The video shares nine critical lessons learned by a highly sought TRT (Testosterone Replacement Therapy) coach, focusing on optimizing hormone protocols for libido, erectile quality, and overall sexual function. The advice covers hormone dosing, injection techniques, and managing side effects, with an emphasis on practical and nuanced TRT strategies.
9 Critical Takeaways / Strategies for Optimizing TRT and Sexual Health
- HCG Tolerance and Dosage
- You can tolerate more HCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) when testosterone injectable doses are lower (85-120 mg/week).
- Higher injectable doses combined with HCG often lead to excessive estrogen levels.
- Lower testosterone dose + higher HCG (150-350 IU/day) without Aromatase Inhibitors (AIs) can benefit sexual function and maintain testicular function.
- DHT (Dihydrotestosterone) is Essential
- Aromatase Inhibitors (AIs) Have Mixed Responses
- 60-70% of people respond poorly to AIs, experiencing joint pain, mood issues, and sexual dysfunction due to uneven tissue estrogen regulation.
- AIs can be very effective for 30-40% of users, simplifying estrogen management.
- DHT Derivatives as Alternatives to AIs
- About 30% of those who respond poorly to AIs may respond well to DHT derivatives (e.g., Primobolan, Masteron, Proviron) which lower estrogen differently.
- However, 70% of AI non-responders also do not respond well to DHT derivatives, risking libido issues and joint pain.
- Optimal Needle Choice for Testosterone Injection
- Intramuscular injections are preferred for better absorption.
- The best syringe size is the 5/8 inch insulin syringe—cheap, effective, and a good middle ground between too short and too long needles.
- Testosterone Enanthate vs. Cipionate
- Enanthate has a shorter half-life, faster peak, and quicker trough than Cipionate.
- This leads to better DHT peaks and lower estrogen troughs, reducing continuous aromatization and improving side effect profiles.
- People generally tolerate slightly higher doses of Enanthate than Cipionate.
- Testosterone Cream Minimizes Aromatization
- Transcrotal testosterone cream leads to higher conversion to DHT rather than estrogen due to high 5-alpha reductase enzyme concentration in scrotal skin.
- Cream allows faster dose adjustments and better DHT-to-estrogen ratios compared to injections.
- Consider cream alone or hybrid protocols (cream + injections) for easier and more bioidentical hormone management.
- Testosterone Propionate for Fast Dial-In
- Propionate ester acts quickly, allowing dose adjustments and blood level stabilization in 1-2 weeks versus 8 weeks for long esters.
- Best used in 10-25 mg/day doses with appropriate HCG dosing (e.g., 100 IU/day).
- Propionate provides strong DHT peaks and dopamine increases, boosting libido and energy.
- High doses (>30 mg/day) may cause hair loss due to excess DHT.
- Best Protocol for Erectile Quality: Propionate + Cream Hybrid
- Combining Testosterone Propionate with transcroal cream yields superior erectile quality due to high DHT availability and manageable estrogen levels.
- Requires careful estrogen management, possibly with AIs.
- This combo can produce spontaneous, strong erections and improved sexual sensation but may increase hair loss risk at very high doses.
