EP 80: Common HRT Errors in Men: Why Testosterone Therapy Goes Wrong


Listen Later

In this episode, we break down the most common mistakes we see with HRT (Hormone Replacement Therapy) in men—and why so many patients end up feeling worse instead of better.

HRT isn’t just about “adding testosterone.” When mismanaged, it can destabilize the entire hormonal system, leading to new symptoms, shutdown of natural production, and long-term frustration.

We discuss:

  • Overexposure to testosterone and why more is not better

  • ⚖️ Improper dosing & lack of stabilization

  • 🧠 How LH & FSH shut down during therapy—and why that matters

  • 🔄 Aromatization and excess estrogen symptoms in men

  • 🚨 Common symptoms of poor HRT management (fatigue, mood swings, libido issues, brain fog, water retention)

  • 🧪 Why labs alone don’t tell the full story—and what clinicians should actually be monitoring

This episode is a must-listen for men considering HRT, currently on testosterone therapy, or feeling stuck despite treatment. The goal isn’t fear—it’s education, awareness, and smarter hormone care.
