How to Get on TRT in Canada if Your Testosterone is Too High
Tuesday, January 11, 2022 at 11:10AM This information is not medical advice and is only for entertainment purposes. Do not listen to me, always take your doctors advice and put your health first.
The reason I am making this video is because here in Canada we have very rigid qualifications within our health care system that determines whether a person qualifies for TRT. You will need to see you doctor, get blood work done and only if your bloodwork results indicate that you are below what is considered a normal Testosterone threshold, then you can go on TRT that may be covered by Canada Medical and monitored by your doctor.
In the US they have a much more flexible system as there are lot of TRT Clinics that work in a similar manor with doctors to assess your Testosterone levels but they don’t just look at Testosterone levels, they also consider symptoms and put everything in perspective in relation to if a TRT protocol would benefit someone or not.
The benefit to Canada’s system is that if you qualify for TRT, your TRT protocol will be generally covered by Canada Medical. The benefit to the US system is that you are much more likely to be able to find a clinic willing to put you on TRT but at a cost to you. At the end of the video I will recommend a TRT Clinic in the US that I endorse.
Can a person in Canada pay for their own Testosterone and have their doctor provide them with medical bloodwork and advice regarding levels and dosages? Yes this is possible but you would be required to find your own source of Testosterone. In Canada Steroids are not illegal to buy, own and use but they are illegal to sell outside of a regulated pharmacy without a prescription. That said there are what I can only describe as underground online pharmacies where you can get steroid but quality will be hit and miss, so you will need to do your own research when acquiring such medication not from a licensed pharmacy. Typically a bottle of Testosterone is around $100 Canadian and will give you anywhere from 10 to as much as 40 injections depending on how much you are taking and how potent the Testosterone is. So basically cheaper than protein at the end of the day…
How does this effect what your doctor can do in terms of giving advice about a TRT protocol that has not been prescribed? Your doctor is obligated to give you medical care to the best of their ability no matter what harm you may be inflicting on yourself. Similarly to someone that is obese or an alcoholic or addicted to drugs. Your doctor will give you advice and do their best to put you on the right track as it is their job to look after your health to the best of their ability. They do not have to agree with you lifestyle choices. I guess they could refuse to be your doctor but that would be an extreme situation.
So your doctor will more than likely want to keep track of your bloodwork knowing you are taking Testosterone so they can advise you on your levels and what dosages make sense for a TRT type protocol. The big difference here is that you are kind of in the drivers seat rather than the doctor being in the divers seat so you administer more or less Testosterone then what would normally be prescribed, just keep in mind there are always negative consequence when abusing any drugs.
One often overlooked option if you want to get on Doctor prescribed TRT in Canada, but have bloodwork that is perhaps just over the threshold allowed to be covered by Canada medical, would be to somehow temporarily crash your Testosterone on purpose so when you get your bloodwork drawn you are below normal thresholds.
I wonder how this could be achieved? Hum... Keep in mind this explanation is completely hypothetical and just meant to explain what might happen given a situation where one has exogenous Testosterone in their system and then goes cold turke. It is well understood that when a person goes on Testosterone, their body will adjust for the higher levels of exogenous Testosterone in their system by shutting down its own production of Testosterone. What happens when a person comes off of an exogenous source of Testosterone, is their body takes a little while to begin producing Testosterone again on its own. So for a period of time that person would have much lower than normal testosterone levels.
The goal is to figure out the time when your exogenous Testosterone has crashed and your natural Testosterone has not kicked in yet. Most oil based Testosterones have a half life of around 7 days which means if your Testosterone levels are say 800 nanograms per deciliter (ng/dL), then one week later they would be around 400 ng/dL, and a week after that they would be around 200 ng/dL, a week after that 100 ng/dL.
So for this hypothetical example, I would recommend a person takes say 100mg of Testosterone per week for about 2-3 months to get their body used to the exogenous Testosterone so their own Testosterone production is somewhat shut down. They will know this because they will have some testicular shrinkage (yup that’s going to happen so get use to it!). This amount should put them in normal ranges of around 500-900 (ng/dL) for most people but I can not say for sure since everyone is very different. Even if they where at the high end and around 1000 (ng/dL), a week after stoping injections of testosterone, they would be around 500 (ng/dL). A week after that around 250 (ng/dL), a week after that around 125 (ng/dL) which should make them well below normal levels on their bloodwork as it is unlikely that their body has had enough time to start producing its own Testosterone.
In other words they are going to need to wait about 3-4 weeks after their last injection before they get their bloodwork done in order to show low levels of Testosterone. This is of course all hypothetical and not advice at all, just a random idea on how exogenous Testosterone would effect natural Testosterone and ultimately lead to an overall reduction of Testosterone in your system given certain circumstances.
Again this is a situation that could hypothetically be used in Canada to qualify for TRT, in the US you have a lot of other options. One of which is to consider a TRT Clinic like Royal Medical Center where if you sign up and use my GFO40 Code in the “Message/Heard About Us” Field you can save $45 per month for a period of time on your TRT Program.
