68. Built in the Lab: PEDs, Protocols & Performance in BJJ


Listen Later

Kaz and Rach sit down with Grant Bradshaw and Matt Page, both of whom have experience in the area from two absolutely opposites entry points — from testosterone therapy to the darker corners of performance-enhancing drug use in BJJ and beyond. This episode gets real about:

  • TRT: myths, realities, and what the average guy needs to know.

  • PEDs in jiu-jitsu: who's doing what, how it's done, and the unspoken codes of silence.

  • Natural vs. enhanced: the physical, psychological, and competitive consequences.

  • Social stigma: how juicing gets judged, who’s quietly doing it, and how transparency could shift the sport.

  • Hormonal optimization: what “healthy male” even means anymore in an era of low-T memes and supplement scammers.

  • Testing protocols (or lack thereof) in BJJ and what that means for gym culture.

Honest, unfiltered, and maybe a bit uncomfortable — this is the hormone episode you didn’t know you needed.
