Response: Greg Doucette & More Plates More Dates - Getting THE MOST Out of HRT

Greg Doucette recently had More Plates More Dates Derek on his channel to talk about getting the most out of HRT/TRT (video here:    • Getting THE MOST Out of HRT  ) In this video I respond to their comments and add my physician’s perspective. Greg is on TRT and wants to add a few more pounds of muscle. Should he increase the dose? Add other agents like steroids, growth hormone, or insulin? Derek had a smart take on this, but I want to add some medical considerations I’d take into account when making these decisions. I discuss Greg’s labs compared to my own, the physiology of total testosterone, free T, and SHBG in men on TRT, and some additional medicines and strategies I use in my patients to keep them healthy. If you’re on TRT and want to add muscle or just interested in staying healthy, watch this video!

As the Anabolic Doc, since 2003, I’ve provided men who are using or have used anabolic steroids a confidential, ethical and professional medical venue to discuss their use. I do NOT in any way support the use of any performance enhancing drugs - PEDs, anabolic steroid or other medicine for muscle building or body transformation. The “off-label” use of PEDs, as such agents is considered illicit and may lead to adverse health outcomes. Please consult an expert health professional regarding any medical agent and do NOT use any medicine without the explicit advice and supervision of an appropriate medical expert.
