#04 TRT Wrecked Me: What Many Wellness Centers are Getting Wrong

Milan tried TRT the way most guys do: walked into a wellness clinic, got injected the same day, and tripled his testosterone. A few months later it took everything he had just to get out of bed. In this episode, Milan shares the full story of his TRT crash with Dr. Rehan, and they break down what actually went wrong: an aggressively dosed aromatase inhibitor, crashed estrogen, and a clinic that couldn't see him for five weeks when it mattered. Dr. Rehan explains why he rarely reaches for TRT first, how enclomiphene works as a gentler alternative that preserves your natural production and fertility, and why aromatase inhibitors are being overprescribed at men's health clinics across the country. Plus: the surprising percentage of erectile dysfunction cases actually caused by low testosterone, the labs you should be checking every three months if you're on TRT, and a patient story that shows just how badly unsupervised testosterone therapy can go.

Milan tried TRT the way most guys do: walked into a wellness clinic, got injected the same day, and tripled his testosterone. A few months later it took everything he had just to get out of bed. In this episode, Milan shares the full story of his TRT crash with Dr. Rehan, and they break down what actually went wrong: an aggressively dosed aromatase inhibitor, crashed estrogen, and a clinic that couldn't see him for five weeks when it mattered.


Dr. Rehan explains why he rarely reaches for TRT first, how enclomiphene works as a gentler alternative that preserves your natural production and fertility, and why aromatase inhibitors are being overprescribed at men's health clinics across the country. Plus: the surprising percentage of erectile dysfunction cases actually caused by low testosterone, the labs you should be checking every three months if you're on TRT, and a patient story that shows just how badly unsupervised testosterone therapy can go.
