This week, we’re jabbing straight into testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) with Dr. Louis Choo, senior specialist at Manual and NHS GP. Marc is six months into his own TRT journey, and Richard wants to know if it’s all needles, rage, and shrinking testicles — or something a bit more useful.
🔬 Inside this episode
We unpack:
✅ What low testosterone really feels like — and when to take it seriously
🩸 Why blood testing is step one (no bro science here)
💉 How injections work, what HCG does, and why gels are messy and annoying
🧠 The truth about mood, muscle, libido... and regret
🧬 The long-term commitment, social stigma, and myths around “getting on test”
This isn’t a red-pill rant or gym-bro gospel. It’s a smart, funny, evidence-based conversation about hormones, health, and how not to grow a pair of boobs by accident.
💥 Highlights include:
The moment Marc built a shed at 6am after one jab
Why coming off TRT might be rougher than people admit
What Richard’s still skeptical about — and why that matters
🎧 Listen if:
You’re male, over 40, and wondering if your best days are behind you — or if you’ve just never had a blood test.
