He also stresses the main problem with making TRT a taboo by referring to it as the same as anabolic dr**s. The bodybuilding champion started by talking about how the human body was a beautiful thing however when it fell sick doctors recommended medicine. He associated TRT as a medicine to cure the body when it is falling apart just like when people do therapy when they have cancerous cells.
He said, “HRT is something you can use when your body starts falling apart and isn’t wouldn’t that be considered in a sense to a layman’s person well, you’re fixing something wrong with you. So, you can live a better life. This is a medicine.”
When the Titan asked why people eradicate TRT and think that it is an anabolic d**g, the doctor said that even after much research and some diagnoses in both males and females there is still a gap in research that needs to be fulfilled.
