Episode notes
Daily Dosed Test And Slow Titration
- Daily-dose testosterone improves stability and lets you tolerate higher doses with fewer side effects.
- Start low (300 mg/week) and titrate up slowly, holding increases for 1–2 weeks to assess tolerance.
Don't Start An AI By Default
- Only add an aromatase inhibitor (AI) when you show estrogen-related side effects, not preemptively.
- Use minimal effective AI dosing (e.g., 12.5 mg Arimidex twice weekly) and prefer more forgiving options like Aromasin at low frequency.
Symptoms Trump Single E2 Labs
- Blood E2 numbers can mislead due to assay limitations and clearance issues; symptoms matter more than a single lab value.
- Aim for a middle-ground estrogen that preserves mood, libido, joints, sleep, and training performance.
