Thyroid optimization on testosterone
Hey! Thyroids are a very important topic, and we know that testosterone lowers Thyroid hormones. I was wondering what your take is on this? A lot of specialized clinics already hand out thyroid meds together with testosterone (HRT vs TRT) when needed. In my particular case, I feel a bit sluggish and it looks like my free T4 is on the lower end, which could explain this, although in reference ranges, this is highly personal, just like testosterone ranges. I'm about to try T4/T3 meds, what's your take on this?
Thyroid optimization on testosterone
@Ty Vincent, would you say in my case it's medically justified to try out thyroid hormones with these numbers? I want to avoid taking things just for the sake of it and really just use them if necessary. I do feel like these thyroid numbers look normal on paper, but they are not optimal for someone who is on TRT and does sports. I know you won't and can't give me a diagnosis, but I just want to make sure there is at least some reason to try them out :D. I know most doctors would say everything is fine, but just because they are in "range" and we know that ranges are skewed and don't account for genetic variances or just individual needs - just like TRT ranges.
@Ty Vincent Both comments you left are very insightful. I just recently became aware of the importante of Thyroid, and Thyroid shares lots of symptoms with Low T, so they overlap. I know the ref. ranges for test are BS, they keep dropping every year, they are averages of mostly unhealthy people. Would you say the same happen with ref. ranges of thyroid hormones? Only ppl with problems get these checked, thus the labs take ref. of mostly sick ppl, so I would not be suprised we actually need more thyroid then what's on the labs ref. ranges similar to testosterone. Also, all the hype is only with testosterone, but endocrine disruptors not only affect testosterone, but also affect thyroid hormones. It looks like no one talks enough about this, could you make also a video about thyroid? why its important to check, and use etc similar to the testosterone video you did?
Telmisartan - Unnecessary or Beneficial?
Hi Dr. Vincent, Super glad you added this platform! Always looking to learn as much as I can. What is you opinion on Telmisartan? Best, Patrick Brothers
Imho, if you don't have high BP there is no need for it
@Ty Vincent Really interested in that video about water and salt. I have always believed more water is better (also, it's helpful to lower hematocrit). I thought the more muscle mass you have, the more water you need. For example, in my case, I drink around 6L daily, but I try to replenish my minerals (salt/potassium/magnesium/etc)
18 on testosterone
hey dr ty im 18 and just did my first injection of 100mg of testosterone (had levels in 300s naturally for 2 blood tests) i joined because i really appreciate your information on younger people on testosterone because most people dont talk about it and just demonize it if theres anything i need to be careful of or i should know i would really appreciate it.
@Chad P From what I learned, AI's are not bad, crushing your estrogen to 0 is bad which is extremely easy to do, so use them sparingly and when needed.
HCG for optimal function
Hey Dr Ty, I know you mentioned HCG use as mostly for fertility. But I was wondering what you think about using it at all times together with your testosterone (which is what I'm doing). I hadn't had much success with testosterone only - HCG improves libido/erection quality significantly. I'm pretty sure there has to be some mechanism in action here. I'm wondering if having functioning testicles is very important not only for fertility, but for libido/erection quality, and also, one thing I notice my downstairs is way more sensitive to HCG, so in short, on testosterone alone, I lose some sensibility. I'm pretty sure intra-testicular testosterone/estrogen is important to have this system fully working. I also heard in one of the podcaster which was really into medicine and biology, that pretty much TRT only obviously shuts down the testicles, and with enough time, scar tissue builds up inside the testicles, and blood flow down there drops significantly - which then if you want to have a child or even stop the TRT (I know you shouldn't) significantly harder or even impossible. So, would it make sense to add HCG to preserve testicular function? I know I'm not alone with what I experienced, HCG being necessary for optimal libido/erection quality/sensation - plenty of people experienced the same if you visit Reddit, for example.
@Ty Vincent Interesting, probably scar tissue was not the word, but: - Leydig Cell Atrophy - Sertoli Cell/Seminiferous Tubule Atrophy
@Ty Vincent Yeah I totally agree with that, but I don't think that duck example is 100% analogous to us. Because its seasonal, right? What happens to your testicles if they are 100% off for 10 or 20 years? I think there are a couple of studies on those long-term TRT cases, and it was almost impossible to recover testicular function.
Skewed test levels
Hey, I recently watched this video, and it felt like a direct critique of what you preach (test levels are dropping ref. ranges need to be double or tripple atleast): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DgRIRPEf0VQ So, 2 major questions I have for your from this video: - Is the "1950s Decline" Just a Flawed Comparison? Given that laboratory testing methods before the 1970s and 80s were highly primitive and fundamentally different from today's technology, how can we confidently claim testosterone has dropped since 1950? Aren't we just comparing apples to oranges by pitting historical, uncalibrated tests against modern mass spectrometry? - Are We Confusing Laboratory Artifacts with Environmental Crises? If the famous generation-over-generation drop in US health data completely disappears once you correct for the 2004 laboratory switch from immunoassays to mass spectrometry, is it possible the "testosterone crisis" is a statistical illusion rather than an environmental apocalypse?
