Taking TRT was a 10/10 decision ngl

Summary

The presenter says that starting testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) was one of the best decisions he has made. He began in 2024, after years of natural weightlifting, mainly to improve his energy, mindset, and anxiety—not primarily to build muscle. He reports that TRT greatly reduced his anxiety and improved his quality of life, while also helping with muscle growth and recovery.

Main points and advice

• Personal experience: He says TRT helped his anxiety more than meditation, journaling, therapy—including CBT and EMDR—or other self-improvement practices. These are personal comparisons, not evidence that TRT generally treats anxiety.
• Physical effects: He describes increased muscle, easier fat loss, and better recovery as additional benefits.
• His approach: He says he researched testosterone before starting and describes using roughly 150–225 mg per week. He argues that people should judge treatment by the results they want, rather than by what is “average.”
• Fertility and risks: He argues that fertility concerns are overstated and mentions HCG or stopping testosterone as ways to address them. These claims should not be treated as medical guidance.
• Lifestyle and self-care: He refers to weightlifting, therapy, meditation, and journaling, but says they helped him less than TRT. He also mentions eating one meal a day while losing fat.
• Online criticism: He dismisses much of the criticism he receives and urges viewers to make their own decisions, though he also tells them to ignore opposing opinions and follow his advice.

Important context

The video presents a strongly favorable personal account, not balanced medical advice. Testosterone can affect fertility and has other potential risks; it is not a reliable contraceptive or a general treatment for anxiety. Anyone considering TRT should discuss the decision and appropriate monitoring with a qualified clinician rather than rely on the presenter’s dose or claims.
