Ever wonder why a man would inject estrogen alongside testosterone therapy? In this video, I dive deep into my personal experience and explain exactly why I started using injectable estrogen, how it transformed my sexual function, cognitive performance, mood, and overall quality of life.

You’ll discover my journey with injectable DHT, why balancing estrogen became crucial, and how I fine-tuned my protocol to find the sweet spot. I address common misconceptions about estrogen for men, particularly for those already on testosterone replacement therapy (TRT). If you’re lean, experiencing joint discomfort, decreased libido, or cognitive sluggishness on TRT, estrogen might be exactly what your regimen is missing.

Watch to the end as I share my personal dosages, bloodwork insights, and practical recommendations that you can potentially apply to your own hormone optimization journey.
