In this episode we break down the real reasons TRT works for some men and completely falls apart for others.
We talk testosterone vs estrogen, why aromatase inhibitors are overused and misunderstood and how chasing numbers instead of symptoms wrecks progress.
We also get into hematocrit and hemoglobin, why they rise on TRT, when they actually matter and why panic blood donations aren't always the answer. Finally, we cover enclmiphene. What it's for, what it isn't and where guys get led astray with mixed protocols.
No fear based medicine.
No social media doctor nonsense.
Just real world TRT talk for men who want results without breaking their hormones.
