This week Im putting my own bloodwork on the table.
Josh from Virtus Health Optimization joins me to break down my latest labs and look at what's actually happening under the hood while I'm on TRT.
We go through the numbers that matter, what looks good, what raised some questions and why simply seeing a testosterone number in the normal range doesn't tell you the whole story.
We get into testosterone, free testosterone, hematocrit, SHBG and the other markers guys on TRT should be paying attention to and Josh explains what he looks for when evaluating bloodwork beyond the standard reference ranges.
No hypothetical patient.
No cherry picking example.
These are my actual labs....

What happens when a provider gets fed up with the traditional healthcare system?
This week I had Josh and Richie from Virtus Health Optimization for a conversation about what healthcare looks like from the other side of the exam room.
Richie recently left traditional primary care for the private clinic world and he breaks down why. We get into the insurance driven healthcare model, rushed appointments, what providers actually deal with behind the scenes and why the system can make it incredibly difficult to give patients the time and individualized care they need.
We also compare the insurance model vs the cash pay/private clinic model and talk about why more patients are looking for alternatives to traditional healthcare.
Is the problem your doctor, your insurance company or the healthcare business model itself?
This episode pulls back the curtain on a system most patients never get to see.

TRT can change more than your testosterone levels. It can change your confidence, sex drive, energy, mood and sometimes the entire dynamic of your relationship.
We get into the side of testosterone replacement therapy that doesn't get talked about enough, relationships.
What happens when your libido suddenly comes roaring back? What if your partner's doesn't? Can getting in better shape and feeling more confident create problems at home? Does TRT actually improve relationships or can it expose problems that were already there?
We talk openly about sex, attraction, confidence, communication, jealousy, mismatched libido and what happens when one person in a relationship starts changing physically and mentally.
TRT isn't just about a number on a blood test. When you change, your relationship may have to change with you.
If you're on TRT, considering TRT or you're the partner of someone who is, this is a conversation you need to hear.

Does TRT really change your body composition or is that just another overhyped TRT claim?
We break down what can actually happen to your body after optimizing testosterone. We talk muscle mass, body fat, strength, recovery, weight changes and why simply getting your testosterone levels up doesn't automatically give you the physique you want.
How much of the transformation comes from TRT and how much still comes down to training, nutrition, sleep and consistency.
Whether you're already one TRT, thinking about starting or just wondering what testosterone can realistically do for your physique, this episode separates realistic expectations from the hype.
