Seeking advice.
I own a gym in a town where an Osteopath is currently selling BioTE TRT Pellets. He latched on to one of my coaches, who conveniently works out 5 days per week and eats well. He is 35 and his testosterone was in the 300s. He’s been using the pellets for 1 year now and believes he feels the best he’s felt ever, is stronger, and more jacked than he was without them.
Since he’s gotten the pellets more than 10 men from my gym have been tested, and told they also could benefit greatly from TRT. As far as I know, none of them have actually been found to have clinically low testosterone. The Dr. does not ask them to fast before the blood tests, and he only draws one time. He does not accept insurance for this, they must pay cash.
He does not screen them for any other symptoms of hypogonadism nor any other health issues that I understand, from your posts and articles, to be reasons one SHOULD NOT be on TRT. They get the pellets inserted, have their testosterone tested again in one month to see if they need a “boost” and then it is not checked again until they go in for their 3rd round of pellets, so he tests once per year.
One instance is a 35 year old male who had a testosterone level at 260, headaches everyday, likely sleep apnea (who now has a sleep study scheduled) amongst other issues.
This Dr hosts seminars once per month where men get up in front of the “class” and talk about how awesome their lives have been since doing TRT. Testify to the increased energy and libido, etc.
So my question is how do I, a 33 year old woman, convince all of these men they are being duped? They want to be able to “be at their best” while they’re young and I can’t seem to convince them they’re throwing money away while perhaps creating problems for themselves down the road. I’ve expressed my concerns quietly but I’m no Dr and I feel unqualified to speak deeply on endocrine issues, especially speaking out against this Dr who all these men, my clients, seem to love.
