So, guys, Derek, moreplacemore days.com.

Today we are going to be reacting to Dr. Eric Berg talk about testosterone therapy, spiking estrogen.

And I guess his stance on, I don't know if it's his stance on TRT or if it's just like

making it seem like it's bad or good or what.

Like, anyway, let's get into it.

Did you realize that testosterone replacement therapy

can potentially increase your estrogen?

I mean, that sounds crazy.

Here you are trying to increase your testosterone

and it backfires and you end up with too much

of the opposing hormone estrogen.

I don't know if he is saying it backfires as a means of like he actually thinks that

or if he thinks that we, the audience think that because we assume estrogen is bad.

Like it doesn't backfire because you would think

that if you actually medically needed TRT, you would also need it for the downstream

production of estrogen. So if you are testosterone deficient, you're probably estrogen deficient

too, unless you are really overweight or something like that.

Anyway, like, yeah, testosterone raises estrogen, but you also, the whole fucking point,

and part of the actual application of testosterone is to create estrogen.

Like, that's one of the downstream mechanisms that regulates a myriad of very important

physiologic functions in the body.

So no, it doesn't backfire. It's exactly what it's supposed to do.
