How to find a general care doctor that is knowledgeable in PEDs and will help rather than judge.

[Zeus088]

I’m a new member so my apologies if this is the wrong forum for this question but it did say Men’s health.

How did some of you find a doctor who will actually help talk you through blood work, aid in harm reduction, and make sure you’re healthy while using AAS, rather than judge you and just tell you to quit?

Thanks all! Great to be here!

The ones that you pay out of pocket and pay a lot of money.

I didnt. Still got these judgemental useless labcoats telling me every issue i come to them with is from PED abuse and that they wont treat it, ill have crto go off the steroids, not even go on TRT or anything like that, but cut it off cold turkey.

It’s wild because all I can find is like the anabolic doc on YouTube and I’m not sure that guy is legit or not. Then guys that give great info like Chase Irons or Paul from anabolic bodybuilding, but finding someone locally is hard as hell.

Anabolic doc is fine. Everything's remote or you can see him in CT or FL. Not the cheapest option but he's knowledgeable and 0% judgement. I used him for a while until I started managing everything myself.

Definately a better choice than most "TRT Clinics".

Super helpful, thanks! I was considering it just until I get more knowledgeable on managing things myself.

Yeah it's all very routine after a couple of appointments, but a great doc to get established with, and in case of AAS related complications later on, you can have your local docs consult with him.

It'll start with bloodwork then a consult over the phone or video.

Dunno what he charges now, but a few years ago I think it was $350 or $500 to get going. They also run what they can through your insurance if you have it, like bloodwork.

its not their job to tell you how to use PEDs, nor it is their job to learn about it.

To be frank, if I was them. I would say figure it out or stop wasting my time.

You have to take it into your own hands or like what others say....
Hire a concierge doctor who will cater to your needs.

Sports endo..

Why tell them? I cycle inbetween my trt visits and I get bloodwork every 6 months that he monitors, I havent told him 100% what I do, only little bits that he says he wont add to my record, I am 100% sure he knows what Im doing

Blood work comes back good I continue what Im doing

And yet plenty of docs out there trained and ready to help you manage Fentanyl or Meth use....

Guess harm reduction is only for hardcore drug users.

In USA don't know.

Thailand had good steroid clinics in b angkok. Pricey but they will help you , blood work etc

To help you get off. Not to give you heart meds to prevent the damage from opiates or meth.

I'm actually CT based these days; looked up his "app". It's interesting what he is trying to do, but the labs are expensive. I'm surprised he doesn't do a subscription model like $100 per month for all the regular labs you need in a year (or $200 or whatever). He's way up in Hartford so I wouldn't use him anyway, but it's really a sign of the times he is able to create a "brand". I guess so long as he doesn't prescribe, it's cool.

Does it say he doesn't prescribe? He did when I used him. I doubt there's a doctor with more hands on experience with AAS users anywhere in the world, which means he's seen it all, and that certainly counts for something.

I'm just guessing. But his Uconn address is in West Hartford, which is far from me so I didn't look harder.

Just a final comment on him. You can see him remotely, so a physical trip is unnecessary. Also, he's a great resource for AAS friendly specialists too, if anything else comes up. You wouldn't have to deal with the "outrage" of telling your cardiologist what you're doing for instance. Read somewhere recently doctors have a much lower opinion of steroid users than cocaine addicts, and I can believe it.

It is probably because they assume we are cheating somehow. Most do not actively learn anything once they graduate, have no clue about nutrition and definitely don't practice what they preach. They would rather treat a feeble cocaine addict then someone actively pursuing total human optimization.
