Peptide of the Week: TRT & HCG – Why Testosterone Optimization Comes First

Welcome back, warriors. This week, JD Denham and William T. Haas take a detour from peptides to unpack something foundational testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) and HCG. Why? Because before peptides can elevate performance… your hormones need to be dialed in.

This is one of the most raw and transparent episodes yet, filled with personal stories, no-BS advice, and decades of combined experience from two men who’ve lived it, studied it, and helped hundreds navigate it.

Here’s what we cover:

🧪 TRT 101 – What testosterone is, why it drops, and why most men over 35 are walking around with dangerously low levels

💉 Injection Protocols – Dosing, esters (Cypionate, Enanthate, Propionate), pinning frequency, and why the “one size fits all” approach never works

🧠 Symptoms of Low T – From brain fog and depression to stubborn belly fat and low drive, this is what 300 ng/dL really feels like

🛠️ Side Effect Management – Estrogen spikes, gyno, acne, and how AIs like Arimidex come into play

🔄 Coming Off TRT – HCG, Enclomiphene, post-cycle therapy, and how to restart natural production when the time comes

👶 Staying Fertile on TRT – JD’s personal story of getting his wife pregnant while on testosterone with HCG support

💪 How to Boost Test Naturally – Training, cold exposure, sleep, diet, and why getting your body back to “ancestral stress” matters

🔥 The Stigma is Dying – Why more men are speaking up about hormone health, and why living at 300 testosterone is the real risk
