Episode 14: TRT 102 – The Real Risks, Rewards, and What Happens After 60

Testosterone therapy isn’t just for bodybuilders—or for men chasing aesthetics in midlife. For many men over 60, it’s about something else entirely: staying strong, staying functional, and staying present.

This episode goes beyond the hype and digs into what really happens when older men start TRT. What improves? What doesn’t? And what are the real trade-offs?

We cover:
- Sexual function: what comes back, and what might not
- Muscle mass and energy: reclaiming strength vs. unrealistic expectations
- Emotional and cognitive clarity: the return of presence
- Long-term risks: hematocrit, prostate health, fertility, and cardiac concerns
- What happens to your body after 60—and how testosterone can support or complicate that process

Whether you’re considering therapy or already on it, this is a grounded look at the truth behind the protocol—especially for older men who are fighting not just low T, but time.

Episode 13 – Testosterone Therapy 101: What It Is, Why It Matters, and How to Start

Low energy. Declining muscle mass. Brain fog. Loss of drive. These aren’t just signs of getting older—they’re often signs of declining testosterone. In this episode, we unpack what testosterone therapy really is, why it’s become more relevant than ever, and how men can take control of their health without falling into the traps of bro science or predatory clinics.

We start with the basics: how testosterone is produced in the body, how it declines with age, and what symptoms to look out for if you're wondering whether your levels are low. We explain the difference between total and free testosterone, and why standard labs—and even some doctors—often miss the full picture.

From there, we walk through the real options: injections, gels, patches, and even newer therapies like enclomiphene and hCG. We talk about what works, what’s outdated, and what you should know before starting treatment—including labs to request, red flags to avoid, and why a lot of mainstream medicine still gets testosterone therapy wrong.

You'll also hear a deeply personal perspective: how testosterone therapy helped me regain clarity, strength, and confidence—and why this isn’t just about libido or muscles. It’s about reclaiming capacity, staying strong into older age, and refusing to silently fade away.

Whether you’re just beginning to ask questions or already knee-deep in research, this episode offers a clear, honest, and medically literate look at testosterone therapy from someone who’s lived it, studied it, and navigated the system firsthand.

This is not hype. This is not medical advice. This is what I’ve learned—and why I believe every man deserves to know what’s possible.

🎙️ Episode 12 – Low T, Young Men, and the Hidden Face of Peyronie’s Disease

They said Peyronie’s disease was for older men. But what if they were wrong?

This episode uncovers the rising number of young men reporting dents, curves, hourglass deformities—and how undiagnosed low testosterone may be playing a hidden role. Many of these men are dismissed by doctors, told it’s “in their head,” or blamed on porn. But what if a testosterone deficiency is impairing their healing, making them biologically older than they are?

We explore how hormonal suppression, lifestyle stressors, and even SSRIs or SARMs might be silently setting the stage for irreversible damage. And why testosterone isn’t just about libido—it may be the signal that prevents plaque from forming in the first place.

This is a side of Peyronie’s you won’t hear about in a clinic.
