After my last video on Jantezo, you, the community, provided overwhelming feedback about a similar treatment called Andriol. I read your comments and looked into this and you all were correct in your feedback. So thank you everyone for the contributions.

This reality is not what you think. How did they build these beautiful, monumental buildings that you see in every "ancient" city more than 500 years ago? When they had no electricity, no cranes, no automobiles? You don't think that's strange? Monumental marble columns. Epic, perfect sculptures. How did they build this? Luck? Renaissance mathematics? Don't be naive. Are you seriously telling me that that I have to believe that they did this with horses and clay? Via men, slaves and rulers?
Have you ever questioned the stories you tell yourself? This reality is not what you think, or believe.

Two channels I highly recommend to follow if you don't (or do) want to lose your mind in this "reality" we live in.

Quantum Of Conscience: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCA3tbHe2O7q0ryWamx696fA
What On Earth Is Happening: https://www.youtube.com/user/WhatOnEarth93

Today something VERY interesting happened during a routine injection for testosterone replacement therapy. When I aspirated during my quad injection, I drew up what appears to be fat, or cellulite. This is not what you'd normally expect to see. You'd normally expect to see air bubbles (good), or blood (not good, and redo injection).

In essence, I appear to have given myself a mini liposuction.

I was doing a standard Quad injection with a 25G 1 inch needle. This needle length has never been an issue in the past, but today it seems like I inserted the needle into fat, not muscle. Naturally, I did not continue with the injection and kept the syringe aside for research purposes. I simply prepared another syringe and injected without issue into the other quad.

Perhaps I was slightly off the appropriate injection site this time, which is highly unusual. But there's always a first time for everything.
My guess is that I avoided a really painful lump and discomfort, which a lot of guys have reported experiencing during quad injections.

So I kept the evidence aside to share with you, just in case someone else out there encounters something similar in future.

Typically, it's not necessary to aspirate for most intra-muscular injections. I do, just in case. And this is why. Even though this has happened for the first time in over at least 1000 injections, I imagine I would have had some pain and discomfort even I continued with the injection, or did NOT aspirate.

Some interesting research came out today detailing a potentially new form of treatment for low testosterone / hypogonadism. Researchers have grown human testosterone producing cells in a laboratory. This could turn out to be an alternative to hormonal TRT, with less side effects and a more personalized treatment.

Check out the article here: https://www.news-medical.net/news/20191009/Lab-grown-testosterone-producing-cells-could-help-treat-hypogonadism.aspx

Why is it that we use a 23G needle for glute injections, but a 25G needle for quad/deltoid injections? Is this necessary? Can we change the needle size? Of course! These are just the most common sizes used for those particular injection sites. In today’s video I explain when and why you might want to change the size of the needle you’re using for your intramuscular injections, especially for testosterone replacement therapy.

I share my experience in trying to continue my testosterone replacement therapy treatment in Budapest, Hungary. I talk about what to expect from private vs public healthcare providers and the type of testosterone / TRT that was made available to me by the doctor.

In today's video, Mike and Sam from Balance My Hormones discuss using Proviron and other alternatives to lowering sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG). U viewer had success with testosterone replacement therapy (TRT), but has found that high SHBG levels have been triggering low T symptoms again. He would now like to know whether there are any natural alternatives to lowering SHBG and what the implications of high SHBG are while on TRT.

"Hi Paolo i really love your channel you deserve more subs! My hormone question is the following when i started TRT i felt amazing no anxiety anymore etc perfect estrogen but after a while I started too feel horrible found out my SHBG was too high so now i use Proviron too lower it and i feel amazing is there a way to naturally lower SHBG because every few months mine gets too high wich is annoying because I basically feel like Low T Proviron feels amazing it also regulates Gaba so you feel calm but i’m looking for natural alternatives to keep SHBG low because i feel like those are always the healthiest"

Thanks to Mike and Sam for having me and answering viewer questions. Please support their channel and subscribe for future Q+A: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQrdwN36MUblAszlhpCS5GA).

Stay tuned to this channel for news on the next Q+A session, so that you can submit your questions and have them answered personally by Balance My Hormones.

Sam from Balance My Hormones discusses using HGH for cosmetic purposes, as well as the difference between testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) and human growth hormone. We also dive deeper into the typical use cases of each treatment.

"Does Balance My Hormones offer HGH for cosmetic purposes too? e.g fat loss and muscle gain, and could Mike talk a bit more about this service, please?

Are competitive bodybuilders better to be open with their Dr's about their assisted use? It's difficult when everyone judges you and scares many away from seeking medical advice. "

In today's video Q+A, Sam and I discuss whether it's possible to return to your old natural levels of testosterone after an extended period of testosterone replacement therapy (TRT), for example 3 years of TRT.

"Are there people who are not used to therapy? Is there a chance to return to your old natural testosterone level after 3 years of TRT?"

I have also covered this question before, albeit with less experience and knowledge: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-XJNWPlL1QA

In today's TRT Q+A, Sam from Balance My Hormones takes on the very interesting case of an active 55 year old man who is wondering whether boosting his testosterone to 1200ng/dl will aid him with recovery from a demanding lifestyle.

"Long question: do you know of or anyone in the group have experience in keeping test levels in 1200ng range level for any length of time ? I am 54, 220 lbs around 10 % fat . My levels came back at 510 and 540 . I have worked out played rugby and been active my whole life. I lift 3x pw and train Brazilian jiu jitsu . HERE is the problem I have a very demanding business I own a moving business lot of hands on physical work for hours a day over the summer season. My body is beat and I can't recover (some days it's like doing crossfit for 7 or 8 hours). I am willing to gamble a trade off ( I am 55 so it's not like I have all the time in the world anyway ) My" Soya boy "doctor won't refer me for TRT so I have to take do the research myself. All my blood panels are fine."

Q+A With Balance My Hormones: I've been on trt for 5 years and don't really feel benefit from it. I started my trt on Sustanon 250 every 2 weeks and I felt like a young god:) (my libido was great erections great strength mentally i felt great). But unfortunately that state didn't last long (4 weeks). After few weeks they put me on Nebido every 8 weeks but don't really feel benefit from it. I have no libido, weak erections, feel depressed and it's been going on for years. I've noticed that my prolactin level is usually high, not hyper high ( 70 -410 mu/l mine is 560 ) but doctors always disregard that . Do you think that could be a reason? And why I felt great when I started therapy 5 years ago but I feel no benefits now. I live in .uk by the way. Thanks in advance for your help.

Q+A With Balance My Hormones - Whats the story with AIs now? I see many in the TRT community now saying that aromatase inhibitors should be avoided unless absolutely necessary, due to estrogen being required and low estrogen being just as bad as low testosterone. What's the deal here? I Ask Mike to clarify.

Mike from Balance My Hormones discusses the latest take on aromatase inhibitors. This clip is taken from the full interview I did with Balance My Hormones, which can be found on their Youtube page: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQrdwN36MUblAszlhpCS5GA

Have you ever wondered which needle to use for your injection? In today's video, we take a look at exactly where you're injecting the testosterone and how the different layers of skin, subcutaneous fat tissue and muscle will determine which length needle to use for your injection.

The three important factors to consider when choosing the correct needle size are:

1) Injection method (Intramuscular or Subcutaneous)
2) Injection site (Glute, Quad, Deltoid, Stomach)
3) Body Size (Skinny/Smaller, Average, Larger/Fatter)

You typically use shorter needles for Subcutaneous injections because they don't have to go in as deep. This is usually the 3/8 - 5/8 inch needles (about 0.5"), which is the 27-25G needle.

For intramuscular needles, you typically use a slightly longer needle because it has to get through the fat and into the muscle. Typically the 1 - 1.5 inch needle (23-25G) is used for glutes and quads, and 5/8 - 1 (25G) inch for the deltoid.

These needles are for the average person. Naturally, if you are more or less overweight, and have more or less fat than the average person, you may need to adjust your needle length accordingly based on the 3 factors discussed above. For example, if you're a larger person injecting into the glute, a 1.5 inch needle would be better than a 1 inch needle.

As a baseline, stick with what is normally used in most cases, then adjust if necessary.

A lot of guys want to know whether they should throw away unused testosterone from glass ampoules, or if it can be reused later. Today we evaluate both options and discuss how personal responsibility should be taken into consideration when making this decision. Officially, you should throw away unused medication, according to the doctors. However, what you do behind closed doors is your business, so long as you take responsibility for your actions and take ownership of the risks and potential consequences.

Will TRT act like a contraceptive and prevent pregnancy? Yesterday morning, my girl and I had a bit of an oopsie in the bedroom where the condom broke. She was stressing about getting the morning after pill ,when I started wondering if it was even necessary. I have heard how TRT makes men infertile while they’re on it, and was wondering whether we could just ignore this accident if there was no risk of her getting pregnant. I wasn’t sure, so I decided to look into this more, rather than risking it. Here is what I found.

I discovered a rather disturbing statistic while working on another video today. According to a recent study, the success rates of intramuscular injections vary between 32 and 52%, with the rest potentially resulting in inadvertent subcutaneous drug deposition. This is pretty alarming and demonstrates why we need to be making sure we know exactly where we need to be injecting, when administering our testosterone replacement therapy.
