Self-Selecting E. 133 Avoid These Common TRT Dosing Errors | Syringes, Units, and Concentration
In this episode, I break down some of the most dangerous and common dosing mistakes I see in TRT, peptides, and GH use, especially when clients self-administer without fully understanding concentration, syringe sizes, or math.
As someone with a background in nursing and years of experience in this space, I’ve seen even the smartest and most experienced clients make errors in units, decimals, or conversion that result in adverse effects, visual changes, or major setbacks.
I also dive into the differences between subcutaneous vs. intramuscular injections, lab work non-negotiables, how to interpret serum levels, and why it’s critical to be humble when it comes to this stuff, because even small mistakes can lead to irreversible outcomes.
This is not a dosing tutorial - it’s a wake-up call for anyone using performance-enhancing drugs, HRT, or peptides without truly knowing what they’re doing.
