Some of the questions that doctors will be answering on Wednesday on our webcast:



*When do you decide to prescribe T injections vs creams?*


*How do you manage the different side effects? (Hematocrit, acne, hair loss, testicular atrophy, decreased fertility, gynecomastia, etc)*


*With regard to using TRT subcutaneously, what is the optimal dosage? What ester is best? If T propionate is faster acting (shorter half life), wouldn’t a small daily micro sub-q dosage better mimic natural production and hence less endocrine system disruption in the longer term?*


*Do men who use anastrozole or other AIs due to high estradiol see improvements in nipple sensitivity, libido, edema, mood, etc? What is considered high estradiol?*


*What does hCG really do for men who are on lifelong TRT (not interested in having children anymore) other than increasing testicular volume?*


*Percentage-wise, what is your best guess about how many men who start TRT :

a- have to adjust the testosterone dose due to side effects and/or benefits

b- have to take anastrozole or another AI to manage high estradiol

c- have to stop TRT due to lack of efficacy or side effects

d- use hCG

e- have to use Ed drugs to enhance erectile function

f- have to use TRIMIX to enhance erections since ED drugs may not work effectively (explain TRIMIX)*


*Let’s discuss Cialis. How should it be used as preventative daily medication for BPH? Dosage amount? Expand on the anti-atherosclerotic effects*


*Why is Aromasin (Exemestane) not prescribed more as an AI in men using TRT? What would be the optimal dosage for a man weekly?*


*Why is Ipamorelin not prescribed more in lieu of other peptides like Sermorelin?

Do most doctors just script Sermorelin due to it’s FDA approval?*



PLEASE NOTE the TIME CHANGE to 12:30PST!

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
