Listen Later

If you're a man over 40 thinking about jumping on TRT (Testosterone Replacement Therapy), STOP and listen to this first.

In this deep-dive solo episode, Jay breaks down the essential habits, protocols, and mindset shifts you must implement before even considering TRT. He exposes the billion-pound TRT industry, explains why it’s a lifelong commitment, and gives you the truth most clinics won’t tell you.

Jay also shares the powerful story of one of his clients who naturally went from low to normal testosterone levels in just 10 months without injections.

In This Episode, You'll Learn:

✅ Why TRT is a brilliant business model—but a dangerous first move for you

✅ The 7 non-negotiables to naturally boost your testosterone

✅ How sleep, alcohol, diet, and stress are silently wrecking your hormones

✅ Real talk about belly fat, body composition, and what it's doing to your T levels

✅ Which supplements are actually worth it—and which ones are total snake oil

✅ The hidden habits (like screen time and plastic containers) that quietly impact your endocrine health

✅ How Jay tracks his own stress and health using wearables—and what you can learn from it

✅ The “beer ritual” hack that helped Jay quit drinking for 6 months

Key Topics Covered:

  1. Sleep – Your #1 natural test booster
  2. Alcohol – The socially accepted testosterone killer
  3. Diet – Protein, fats, micronutrients, and UPFs
  4. Stress & Cortisol – How to manage and track it
  5. Body Composition – Why your belly is holding you back
  6. Resistance Training – The role of lifting heavy and recovery
  7. Supplements – What actually works (Vitamin D, Ashwagandha, Creatine)
  8. Endocrine Disruptors – Plastic, parabens, and being more mindful

Bottom Line:

Don’t medicate what you haven’t fixed with lifestyle.

TRT might be a tool, but it should never be your shortcut.

Quote of the Episode:

“People wait until they're broken before they fix themselves. Fix yourself daily.” — Jay Alderton
