TRT Clinics

Maybe with Kennedy in the administration and he's openly on TRT.....they will relax the laws some for home trt injections.
maybe, but highly unlikely. infact its going to get worse/harder. he wants to get all tele / pill mills shuttered. prevents kids from getting on t trans or otherwise.. Kennedy had pituitary issues re opiate addiction so medically needed he doesn't think people should all be on it how u may think.. guys republicans want to make drug access harder, not easier. sell less for more $ is the model... time will tell! but I think alot of people are naive to what is likely to happen in 3 years... also dont think rfk will get the ok from GOP TBH.. all was a typical trump trick..

Doubt it. You're forgetting Trump is the one who made telamedicine easier during Covid and we're enjoying the benifits he gave us still today.
 

Um, sorry. I did not realize this was basically an ad for a telemedicine hormone clinic. I am going to leave it, but I know nothing about these people or their medical care and did not mean to make it look like I was shilling for a medical practice.
 
Awesome. Hope he comes out and cops to Rx oxandrolone and stanozolol. That would be something. So tired of this stigma.

Let's see what Rick Collins can do if he gets advisory role.

He makes a big deal out of the bioidentical part, so I doubt that is going to happen.
 
RFK will not be changing much especially in the way of drugs are available etc as congress makes those rules and his dept. if he gets vetted, can only do what is authorized under the law. He has some room for interpretation of the actions congress authorizes but that is about it.
 
These were several years ago so things may have changed. I was also only looking at basic TRT.

Started trt at 'Ageless Mens Health' in Irvine, CA
$250/mo = Initial labs, at 1mo and every 6mo.
Test-c 200mg/week and adex prn.
Easy, friendly, no issue. Wanted to keep levels between 600-900. Had to come into the office every month to get the juice.

Switched to 'Regenerative and Sports Medicine' in Santa Monica, CA
Dr. Rand McClain of YouTube fame. LOL.
$250/mo = Initial labs, at 1mo and every 6mo.
Test-c 250mg/week and adex prn.
Easy, friendly, no issue. Seemed more open to higher test levels. After the initial visit, mailed everything to my house monthly. Communicated through email.

My experience with Defy….

I sent a request for more information from defy on 10/30 after I independently had my testosterone tested and saw it was pretty low. I received a call from Mary the next day and got a rundown of everything. I paid for labs and appointment which was $516, did my labs a few days later, and did a physical with CVS.

The physical can be problematic for some people, CVS will grill you about whether you are getting a physical for TRT or not and if you say you are they send you packing. My nurse even wrote that the physical doesn’t clear for TRT, but turns out they can write that all they want but it doesn’t mean anything.

Once my lab results were complete I was able to schedule a consultation. They will ask you which provider you want to see. I can recommend a provider in DM, just not sure if it’s good form to put their name here. The wait time for appointment is about a month for good providers, you can ask to be placed on a waitlist for them as well in case someone cancels.

After a month I finally had my consultation which went over great. I went with a provider who I saw consistently recommended in different forums. He was on TRT himself and answered all my questions plus gave me some other things to investigate like t3 and prolactin.

They gave me a few options for treatment but they definitely prefer testosterone injections. I was prescribed 30mg of test-c ED subq, initially he recommended 70mg 3x a week im but he said that an ED protocol would likely make me feel best. He uses an ED protocol himself. I was also prescribed 0.125 arimidex 3x a week if needed and given the option of hcg and other ancillary meds like taladafil which I already take.

After the appointment you have to wait for someone to input your prescription in their online store so you can order which took a little over a day for me but apparently it’s usually faster. They will call you once it is done and your shopping cart is put together so you can just check out. They offer MCT and GSO for carrier oils and three pharmacies: Hallandale, empower, and tailor made. If you live in California you can only buy from tailor made, they do some special sterility testing or something to stay compliant so naturally your order takes like a week longer than the others. 3 months of medication and supplies was around $300

After 3 months there is a follow up mandatory lab work and appointment and then after that it’s every 6 months.

Overall I really liked the provider I talked to but on the administration side I think they are running it like a mill with so many patients that I’m concerned about things like getting refills on time, resolving issues related to treatment, etc. I haven’t actually had any issues yet that required me to see how that plays out, but it takes more than a day just to get a response from them. They cost more than most of the other telehealth clinics so I expected they could handle the volume but it may just be a busy time for them. I may seek out a cheaper clinic once I’m dialed in. Kind of wish I could just work with the provider independently since I’m paying out of pocket anyways but probably can’t do that.

Guys just stop with over priced trt clincs

Go to google earth zoom into your area and look for compounding pharmacies… call the ones within a certain range of your zipcode and ask the compounding pharmacies who they script test to the most because ur looking for a doctor locally,

Once you obtain the docs info call and ask their receptionist if they do test replacement & offer paper scripts for hcg and ed meds so u can get those from where ever u want, ask if they take cash or insurance…

Once u decide on a doc set up ur appointment…

Ive done this successfully a few times in my life… ive been with 2-3 local doctors the last 2 retired and then thru the forums (a different forum) found a local place thru a board member and ive gone to him for the last 10 yrs and he is a urologist…

thanks for the advice, I never thought to go get info from compounding pharmacy like that. Wouldn’t the doctors prescribing it the most be the ones associated with local clinics like gameday? I wonder if all compounding pharmacies will give out that info

I called a few and they gave me names before.

But now I get a script from my pcp and I’m good for a year, bottle of 10 ml test depot is $79 from empower pharmacy and lasts me 20 weeks.

I've found PCPs will often pick up existing specialist prescriptions. Do they do the follow up bloodwork? I suspect my pcp wouldn't have a clue. Which is fine, but I'm curious how yours handles it. Just tosses the test at you and otherwise
good to go?

Brilliant advice. Just the way I approach things like this, except I didn't think of this one lol.
