So, guys, Derekmoreplacemore at AIDS.com.

Today we're going to be reacting to a natural bodybuilder's blood test results.

He is an individual who not only got peeled out of his fucking tree.

He is a guy who got follow-up blood work to assess what kind of impact it had on his hormone profile.

And subsequent to that, trying to recover his hormone profile.

So a lot of people,

you know, you'll do a hardcore diet as a natural, get your blood drawn and find that your testosterone's in the fucking gutter because your body is essentially in preservation, starvation

mode and downregulates any kind of processes that could, you know, expend unnecessary calories

or is using up energy and is energy intensive, you know, expend unnecessary calories or is using up energy

and is energy intensive, you know, it's trying to literally prevent you from fucking dying.

So expectantly, a lot of things downregulate, including your HPTA, genatotropin production,

thyroid hormone production, et cetera.

So for this guy, you know, one of the things we're going to be talking about

is what happened to his blood work not only after the diet as a natural, you know, is it even

healthy to be shredded whatsoever? But when he tried to recover, did he indeed recover? If so,

how long did it take? And in addition to that, we're going to sort of be touching on,

is there a debate to be made on guys in the

fitness industry who are trying to stay like single-digit body fat percentage and what's

actually healthier is it healthier to be a natural and being perpetually shed shredded year

around like you remember marine who's you know like to honest, I think he just wanted to be saucy.

But at the end of the day, you know, he mentioned how he, you know, was trying to be shredded

around.
