Episode notes
Choose Quality Testosterone And Start Low
- Prefer pharmaceutical or high-quality compounded testosterone cypionate over sketchy bottles when possible.
- Use lower physiologic doses (e.g., 150 mg/week) to minimize risk and cost while monitoring labs.
DHEA Is Unpredictable
- DHEA produces highly variable effects and often causes androgenic side effects like hair shedding or irritability.
- Use DHEA only for specific lab-proven deficiencies or niche indications rather than as a routine androgen.
Nandrolone Has Tradeoffs
- Nandrolone (DECA) can be more anabolic per milligram with lower androgenicity but has sourcing and hematocrit concerns.
- Testosterone plus dutasteride often offers a simpler, safer alternative for many patients.
