A guide to testosterone replacement therapy covering why men struggle to get tested and treated, and what happens when they do. The speaker shares personal experience with TRT's quick effects and the practical challenges of hormone optimization.
I think this is why testosterone replacement is so powerful, is because if I were to tell you, hey, Ben, here's a medication, you're going to maybe feel better in four months. You're going to be like, yeah, not into it. I want to feel better in three weeks or in a month, max. That's what TRT does. It's kind of like that. Oh, shit. Okay. I feel something, and I'm feeling better than I did two weeks ago. 237 total teeth. Usually happens pretty quickly. I was 34. I went to the doctor. I'm like, hey, I want to do a full panel. Can you check my testosterone? You're 34. You're fine. I'm like, no, please, can I check my testosterone? Fine. Which for those of you out there don't know, that's low. I was 34 years old. It should not be that low. I mean, here's a guy like you, Ben, taking care of myself my whole life. Played sports, know how to eat well, know how to sleep, know all this stuff. We hate going to the doctor. You know, if I tell you, Ben, I mean, you're probably different, but most guys hear, Ben, go to LabCorp. Get your labs done. You're going to go, okay, dude, maybe in a month, you know, and I'll have to call you. Hey, did you go to LabCorp? No. No. All right, you got to go. That's the average experience for most guys. I don't want to go to get my blood drawn because I hate needles. I'm a big baby, and I don't want to spend all day at the doctor's office. So that's where I started, was like, how do I create a model that's, like, comfortable place, guys want to hang, just like a lounge and then make it fast. And so that's what we did.
