TRT+, Entrepreneurial Stacks, Nootropics, Neuro-Optimization & More.. feat. Ryan @CortexLabsChannel
Introduction
In this section, the host introduces the guest and they discuss their collaboration.
Guest Introduction
- The host welcomes Michael Barlow from Cortex Labs to the show.
- The host mentions that he has been following Michael's content for a while and saw his video about overconsumption of caffeine.
- They joke about being part of the "anabolic energetic steroid users worldwide" club.
TRT Discussion
- Michael talks about starting TRT two months ago and how it has been different from other methods he tried before.
- He mentions that he is currently injecting 140mg of testosterone per week every fourth day.
- The host asks if Michael is taking any other supplements along with TRT, such as HCG or DHEA. Michael says no, but his estradiol levels are at 35 picograms per milliliter when tested recently.
Benefits of TRT
- The host and Michael discuss how TRT can be beneficial for entrepreneurship and productivity due to stable testosterone levels, improved motivation, neurotransmitter stimulation, and better sleep quality.
Introduction
The speaker introduces the topic of subcutaneous injections and how bodybuilders use them to hide injection sites.
Subcutaneous Injections
- Bodybuilders inject in the upper glute area or subcutaneously to hide injection sites.
- Injecting subcutaneously can result in slower testosterone release compared to intramuscular injections.
- Results are still effective, but serum concentrations may dip a little bit.
Consistent Testosterone Levels with Sub-Q Injections
The speaker discusses how consistent testosterone levels can be achieved with subcutaneous injections and how to address issues with inconsistent estradiol levels.
Addressing Estradiol Level Issues
- Increasing injection frequency is an easy way to achieve more consistent levels.
- Daily subcutaneous micro administrations result in the most stable levels of testosterone, estradiol, and dihydrotestosterone.
- If aromatization is an issue, reducing body fat levels or supplementing with zinc or nicotine can help.
