Challenges of Accessing TRT in Australia

May 22, 2024

But man, over here in Australia, forget about it. Forget about it. I went into a doctor's office for a throat infection. And he wanted me, he said, when's the last time you did your labs? I said, well, I did it in November. So it had been like three months ago. Well, I want you to run some more labs. I'm like, cool. I said, don't worry about writing. Don't write a script for it. I'll do a private labs because I'm going to order far more stuff than you're ever going to order for me. And I'm gonna have to pay cash anyway. So I might as well do it myself. And he goes, well, like what? Like, well, I'm going to do testosterone, bioavailable testosterone. I'm going to do estradiol. I'm going to do all this stuff. And he goes, do you have low testosterone? I go, yeah. I said, I've been hypogonad. I'm supposed to be on TRT. I haven't been on TRT in like 10 years because no doctors over here will give it to me. And he looks at my arms and he goes, I don't think you need it. I go, bro, it has nothing. I'm in my forties. It has nothing I'm not, it has nothing to do with, this isn't steroids. This isn't competition. I just want to have a healthy libido, sleep better, less depression or less, not depression, but less, you know, the sadness you get with low testosterone. I want to get a, you know, I want to get a boner that a dog couldn't chew and a cat can't scratch. You know, that's, that's what I'm looking for. And he's like, no, I don't think you need it. And I'm like, great. So I've found two or three doctors. No, not even an option for me because I look like I don't need it. Although my labs show a whole different story. That's absolutely crazy, isn't it? And is it still like that? Yeah, it's still like that. You have to jump through hoops. So basically, you know, your options, I need to talk, I need to talk to our boy Dave, because I know he can get it. But you know what, man, it's just, it's just been, you get so busy, you just forget, right? and uh i've talked to some other clinics and they're like hey what do you want and they're wanting to give me all kinds of stuff i go i just want testosterone man i just want i just want i just want a little bit of primo testing just a little bit just enough to get me in the middle of the range i don't care anything so i don't have the testosterone of a 200 year old man and then they want to go oh you want some anivar you want wenstron i'm like no no no i just want just nor i don't even want sports trt i just want trt yeah yeah i just want to feel back to where you should yeah yeah
