Is TRT fake natty?

Is TRT the new “fake natty”?

Comparison is the thief of joy. Some people are blessed with insane genetics, barely train, and still look incredible—you literally can’t draw conclusions from their training.

Then there are those using steroids while claiming to be natural or downplaying it as just “TRT.” I know plenty of people who are on TRT but insist they’re completely natural.

I actually agree with this video. TRT provides a competitive edge—your testosterone remains stable without natural fluctuations. But I’m not an athlete, I don’t compete, and I’m fully transparent about being on TRT.

Legally and ethically, TRT is fine when prescribed and monitored by a doctor. But let’s be real—it’s definitely an advantage.

The importance of cruciferous vegetables

Let’s talk cruciferous vegetables.

Cruciferous vegetables include broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, kale, bok choy, collard greens, radishes, and turnip greens. They’re rich in sulforaphane, a powerful antioxidant known for its cancer-fighting properties.

When it comes to food, people often think in black and white—but nutrition is more nuanced than that. Take fish, for example: it’s packed with Omega-3s, which are great for overall health, but can also contain heavy metals. In this case, the benefits far outweigh the concerns.

Animal protein has plenty of upsides, but it’s important to monitor saturated fat intake and be mindful of the potential link to colon cancer. One way to balance this out? Incorporate cruciferous vegetables into your diet and aim for a well-rounded approach to nutrition.

My Bloodwork Results

I’m sitting down to review the results from my Executive Health Scan bloodwork. Previously, I filmed a video where I underwent lab testing and discussed why regular bloodwork is essential for monitoring health.

While I typically get my labs done quarterly, this scan included a much more comprehensive panel. In addition to my standard tests, samples were sent to Boston Heart Health for further analysis. In this video, I’ll break down each result, explain what it means, and discuss why these markers matter to you.

If you’ve ever wondered what your bloodwork panels actually reveal about your health – or just want to be nosy and know what’s going on with my health – this video is for you. I’ll take a deep dive into every marker from my Executive Health Scan to help you better understand your own labs.

Clio Greek yogurt bars

@ClioSnacks Greek Yogurt Bars.

At 140 calories and 9g of protein, they outperform even my cherished Yasso bars in terms of macros.

In gauging the appeal of a product, I rely on my girlfriend as the ultimate Litmus Test. Her preferences often reflect those of the general population. Conversely, as a certified Meathead, I’m open to consuming almost anything with favorable macros and a tolerable taste.

That being said, while she isn’t a huge fan of Yasso bars, Clio bars have won her heart.

Have you tried Clio Greek Yogurt Bars – do you like them?
