Both sides want very much to be right and just end up discrediting themselves by being passive aggressive twats.
I donāt think this part applies to Dannyās side. The self-congratulating douchebaggery is pretty off-putting. Especially when they didnāt actually make a point or even in some way respond to what was posted.

Confession: after 1 & 1/2 weeks of just eating a bit less Ive lost 1.5kg
I rewarded myself with 4 pints (2lts) or premium large ast night, undoing 90% of the good work.
Life is cruel. And I am ill disciplined.
I have always found the one forum being discussed amusing. Considering how transparent some of the posters have been.
You get the guys who donāt want to be accused of doing gear . So the hold onto oh Iām only doing TRT ā¦ yeah ok ? How come the amount and type your using for months on end makes some high end short cycles look damn near conservative in nature?
I do love the ones who bitch that their endochronologist donāt know shit. Translationā¦ Doc wonāt give the type and amount I was advised on by the bros.

Before I watch thisā¦I have no issue with trt or guys running cycles. Just the bullshit I have seen spewed.
Rip can be a bit silly. But that is stop on!
I gotta say, I am digging Ripās āMike Haggarā inspired look.

Iād bet youāre not on TRT just by this comment alone. As someone who is on TRT and has delt with a couple doctors then went the private route.. Iām sure there are plenty of urologists who donāt know a lot about it yet still treat it.
First flame freeā¦ and if I said I was? I have defended a personās option to run gear or trt many times on here. Not to mention my dislike for the natty or not bullshit.My point being the ones who are full of shit. Guys that blast and cruise at almost 1/2 gram and act as if itās only TRT?At least have the balls to admit itās not about TRT and having healthy levels.

I agree with that.
Okā¦ thatās what Iām talking about. Just wanted to make sure I wasnāt missed understood. I agree their is still issue with the medical community regarding it. Women have been given hormones for years in the form of birth control and estrogen replacement. But for men its viewed as some weird taboo stuff that the medical field is afraid of.

Medicine doesnāt seem to have developed a thorough understanding of hormones yet - TRT for women & men is still hit and hope more than science. You try finding a doctor - including specialist endocrinologists - who has any knowledge on how to treat for example insulin resistance.
I think most GPs still have almost no idea at all. Flame free: theyāre probably WAY behind the bro scientists on TRT knowledge.

I feel like the money isnāt in hormones yet. More like treating disease and then treating side effects from the treatment.

As a diabetic I can attest to this. I have had three different endocrinologists in 7 years and it always feels like they are guessing at what the best course of action is.
Itās all practice.
My cardiologist gave me a relatively standard protocol for people who have had a heart attack/chd Turns out I was one of X/YYY that it causes congestive heart failure in. Once that was discovered, we changed it.
Some people said āThat sucks! You need to sue his ass off!ā
To which I responded āBut he saved my life. I went from beeeeeeeeā¦ To laps around the cardiac unit in 6 days! 
ā.
There are some unrealistic expectations floating around about the practice of medicine.
Like these docs might have a dozen various cancer patients and whatnot at any given point, then some whiney guy with his disfunctional pee-pee that wonāt quit chewing on his ear because some guy on the internet said something.

My wife has insulin resistance, runs in her family. Sheās fighting it with all sheās got (her brotherās let himself go completely and is pre-diabetic, well on his way to type 2) but basically sheās had to figure everything out for herself and then explain it to a succession of baffled endocrinologists. I sit in on the consultations sometimes and Iām amazed how little they know.
You can tell the good doctors immediately: they know they donāt know, and they tell you that up front! Then they try to figure it out - itās frustrating but at least you have an honest view on whatās going on.

Thatās finally what I am dealing with. My current doctorās are working on a progression plan to get to the best solution. I was on a medication regime that was working well, but the medicine caused me to have pancreatitis so any medications in that same family instantly got thrown off the table.
Diabetes runs in my family like crazy. Mine showed up when I was 24. The year prior I had my checks done and I had an 83 blood glucose level (perfect - should be under 100) and A1C of 5.5. Next year, my fasting sugar went to 300 and A1C shot to over 7%. My doctor at the time said that I didnāt bring it on due to lifestyle changes for it to go that full force in one year - nothing I could do he said. Sucked - but have learned to manage it.
Exercise helps tremendously, but cant solve everything.
Problem stems from all the anti doping mentality that started in the 90s . Think most docs are afraid to dive deep into it because of the stigma attached to it.
