TRT in Canada Versus the US

I am based in Canada so I am most knowledgeable when it comes to the actual process of how TRT works in Canada. I do have a fairly good understanding of how TRT works in the US since I have partnered to some degree with Royal Medical Center in the US, a main reputable US based TRT Clinic. That said I may not know all the ins and out when it comes to the process of each countries setup but I will do my best to explain everything based on my understanding of it all.

TRT in Canada:
In Canada there are TRT clinics, well sort of, these are simply what I would call more specialized doctors that focus on TRT for both Men and Women but you still need to jump through the Canadian Medical System hoops of first getting tested (Which is a good start), then "IF" your blood work determines you are not in a normal  range of Testosterone for your age and sex, (So below normal), then you can proceed to a doctor consult where a TRT plan is initiated. Keep in mind if you are right on the cusp of falling into the below normal range but not actual in it, well so sorry you do not qualify for TRT even if you have all the symptoms of low Testosterone. Canada TRT Clinics will generally charge you for blood work, the initial doctors consult and then periodic follow up fees.

We do have a "FREE" option in Canada since we have a Free Canada Wide Medical System which can work great for some qualified TRT patients. You can simply go to your family doctor and ask for blood work to determine if you have low Testosterone and depending on the doctor they can also prescribe a TRT treatment for you but this is a real hit and miss situation as most family Doctors are not generally trained all that well in this area and many are not comfortable prescribing a TRT option. Most will also be super conservative with the TRT dose which in some, cases is not enough since they really only look at Testosterone levels and not so much what your symptoms are. So they are happy to get you somewhere in the middle ranges even if there does not seem to be much of a benefit from it.

So what if you are low on Testosterone but not low enough and you have all the classic low Testosterone symptoms? Keep in mind I am in no way encouraging anyone to do anything illegal or conduct in shady affairs, I am only offering up information on this subject. Since buying, owning and purchasing Testosterone in Canada is fully legal you can source out your own Testosterone which is kind of a catch since selling Testosterone is the illegal part as Testosterone is considered a controlled substance in terms of selling it. However, finding Testosterone for sale outside a registered pharmacy is not that hard of you do a little bit of Internet digging, quality may be subject though?

So in other words, if you happened to source out your own Testosterone and then go see your doctor for blood work, your doctors obligation is to keep you healthy and not make judgments on your conduct same would be true for smoking, drinking too much, poor diet, being overweight, not getting enough exercise, or taking drugs which would include Testosterone. Again! Your doctors job is to advise and help you stay healthy and so they are required to setup blood work and monitor your Testosterone levels and help you stay in healthy ranges even if your doctor is not prescribing your supplied Testosterone. The cost of actual Testosterone outside of a registered Pharmacy is relatively inexpensive! for example a 10ml bottle of a 400mg per mil Testosterone blend is only about $100 and even if you where taking a higher TRT dose of 200ml per week that would last you 20 weeks, So around $20-$25 per month. Probably cheaper than your protein powder cost each month. You may also require a small amount of an Anti Estrogen medication but if your Testosterone dose is in normal ranges, most likely you will not require an AI.

TRT in the US:
So how does the US compare? First of all the legalities are much different in the US when it comes to any steroid including Testosterone. Outside of a doctors prescription they are illegal to buy, sell own and use. I am sure same as in Canada you can also take a similar Family Doctor approach in the US but from my understanding you will have to pay for any blood work testing, doctor visits and medications depending on your medical plan.

Another very popular option is using a reputable TRT Clinic like Royal Medical Center, they generally offer more of a flat rate payment system where you are charged a certain amount each month and this includes all your TRT treatment drugs that are usually shipped to your residence and any ongoing blood work and consultations. You may have to pay an up front fee to get your initial blood work and the first consultation that may or may mot be offset into any on going monthly fees.

TRT Clinics in the US have very specialized doctors that are knowledgeable in Hormone Replacement Therapy. They not only look at your blood work but also your symptoms since blood work only tells half of the story and since every human is different there isn't a one size fits all Testosterone range for everyone. Some people can function perfectly normal with very low Testosterone levels while others even at higher levels struggle with low TRT symptoms. TRT Clinics in the US take all of this into account which is not the case with Canadian TRT Clinics and Family Doctors. The downside is this can become more of a business and less of a practice since TRT Clinics make most of their income from having long term Clients. So in effect they could be looking for any reason to proceed with a TRT treatment when perhaps there are other options available? That said I feel most reputable TRT Clinics ultimately want the best outcome for their patients.

I hope this help you no matter if you live in Canada or the US. Each country has their own benefits and shortcomings but ultimately what is most important is helping anyone experiencing low Testosterone feel better and get their health in order.

Royal Medical Center TRT Hormone Therapy Update Video

At the beginning of the year I made a video featuring Royal Medical Center talking about their Hormone Therapy Clinics and how they help people with Low Testosterone and related Low-T symptoms. I wanted to make an update video as my GFO40 Discount Code savings have changed a bit. Originally by using my GFO40 Discount Code you would save $45 per month ongoing but Royal Medical Center decided this just wasn't viable for them and so now the GFO40 Coupon Code while still saving you $45 per month, this savings is limited to the first 6 months.

This is still a great setup as it gives Clients the opportunity to save some money while finding out if Royal Medical Center along with Hormone Therapy is right for them. 

Again to recap what Royal Medical Center offers along with my GFO40 Discount Code:

  • Save $45 per month for the first 6 months (Total of $270 saving).
  • Program Is truly all-inclusive.
  • Treat your symptoms.
  • Follow up lab work is completed at 3 months or 90 days.
  • Doctor consultations are always free.
  • Medication is shipped directly to you at no additional cost from a FDA approved pharmacy.
  • No contract. No hidden fees. No additional start up fees.

How to Get the Most Out of Your TRT

After making a few videos on TRT, I now get a lot of questions about Testosterone Replacement Therapy, how to approach your doctor, where to get TRT, how much to take and what else can you take to compliment your Testosterone Replacement Therapy?

Your doctor is going to be the best person to help you manage your TRT and make sure to keep you healthy along the way so in most cases your doctor is not going to add in anything other than perhaps HCG and/or an Estrogen blocker, some clinics may prescribe HGH (Human Growth Hormone). All that said there are always going to be those out there wanting to get a little bit more boost out of their TRT so what options are there that will not mess up what you are already accomplishing with your doctor and TRT Program?

Before I get into all of this, remember I am not a doctor or specialist on the subject nor is any of what I am going to say in this article even real advice or information on the subject. The following information is simply for entertainment purposes. While I am rambling on about the disclaimers I may as well mention that SARMs are not for human consumption and are only intended for testing purposes and under no circumstances should any human take SARM's. You may buy them and force them on your lab animals if you chose to do so...

OK so let's begin. If you are already on a TRT Program and have a doctor assisting you with this or even if you are self managing your own TRT Program, you still may want to get a little more out of your TRT. How can you do this without disrupting already managed Testosterone levels? What I mean is you don't want to take some other PED (steroid) that could mess things up.

My personal opinion if you are already happy with how the Testosterone Replacement Therapy is going and want to keep all of that on track is to look at a few of SARMs options that will help you get the most out of your Testosterone Replacement Therapy without interfering with it. All of this is figurative and theoretical since SARMs are not made for human consumption!

First on my list would be MK-677 (Ibutamoren)
Technically not a SARM but rather a secretagogue. Increases Growth Hormone by making the body produce its own Human Growth Hormone. Watch my Video on MK-677. The benefits of MK-677 are an increase and persevere muscle loss especially in a caloric deficit. Decrease body fat. Increase bone density. Improve cognitive function. Slow the aging process. Speed up the healing processes. Help you sleep better and increase REM sleep.

Next you may want to add in some YK-11 (Myostatin Inhibitor) as YK-11 is claimed to reduce Myostatin in the body which allows the muscles to keep growing beyond their genetic disposition.

Lastly I would consider SR-9009 (Stenabolic) otherwise know as exercise in a pill! SR-9009 speeds up your  metabolism, improves endurance, prevents muscle wasting, helps with recovery, reduces cholesterol levels and can even reduce blood pressure.

All of these options do not mess with you sex hormones and will not shut your body down or interfere with your TRT Program. In fact you Testosterone and Estrogen levels should not change at all on any of these SARMs I have listed.

SARMs a Very Controversial Topic!

This article is not intended as medical advice nor am I a doctor or specialist on the topic of SARMs. All information provided is simply just my personal thoughts on the subject of SARMs. In no way am I recommending anyone take SARMs.

Before we begin, it must be understood that SARMs are strictly for research use and not intended for Human Consumption at this time so taking a SARM will have unknown risks involved. For this reason if you are a human, I do not recommend using or taking SARMs.

That said I know lots of people are going to take SARMs irregardless for various reasons anyway (Just like Steroids). So here is what I think about the subject without getting into a lot of detail as I am far from an expert and only want to talk about this subject as I get asked about it a lot and often people want to know where they can get SARMs from.

I have added links in this article for a Canadian Based Online store that I believe their products are legitimate. Again not for use with humans but rather on hamsters, rats and other unwilling small rodents.

Are SARMs legal to Sell, Buy, Own?

At this time yes, because research chemicals like SARMs are not for human consumption meaning they can not be sold as a supplement. They must be sold strictly as research chemicals. This status could change at any time as the Government has recently been getting involved and trying to figure out just what to do with and how to classify SARMs.

So Why Are People Considering SARMs Over Steroids?

  1. SARMs are usually in pill form, so you do not need to inject them. So much easier to take.
  2. SARMs are considered to have similar benefit to steroids with potentially a lot less of the negative side effects.
  3. SARMs are claimed to be less toxic to the liver.
  4. SARMs are claimed to be less of a threat to prostate and breast cancer situations.
  5. SARMs are claimed to have less suppression of your bodies own natural hormones.

Why SARMS May Be Dangerous? Even more than Steroids!

  1. SARMs are not thoroughly tested on humans or even animals for that matter.
  2. SARMs have very few long term studies done.
  3. SARMs are really only available on the Grey Market so quality control is non-existent., what are you actually getting?
  4. You simply just don’t know what’s going to happen if you take SARMs short or long term?

SARMs for Research Purposes in Canada

Some SARMs I feel have are worth following as they have a lot of potential, perhaps not right now but once more research has been done.

MK-677 (Ibutamoren)
Technically not a SARM but rather a secretagogue. Increases Growth Hormone by making the body produce its own Human Growth Hormone. Watch my Video on MK-677

Rad-140 (Testalone)
Works like Testosterone in your system but with less risk of Breast and Prostate cancer side effects.

SR-9009 (Stenabolic)
Exercise in a pill! Speeds up metabolism, improves endurance, prevents muscle wasting, helps with recovery, reduces cholesterol levels, can even reduce blood pressure.

YK-11 (Myostatin Inhibitor)
Reduces Myostatin in the body which allows the muscles to keep growing.

My Take-away on all of this is that SARMs are probably going to be the new PEDs of the future, maybe even eliminating Steroids altogether. SARMs may also have a place in the health system for people with muscle wasting diseases and prostate or breast cancer. If you decide you want to start using SARMs now then don’t be surprised if you grow a third arm, just kidding but you are for sure taking risks, will the benefit outweigh the risks? That’s for each person to decide on their own.

Is TRT Right for You and Where Can You Get it?

I've made a few videos on the subject of TRT (Testosterone Replacement Therapy) and they have proven to be some of my top videos in terms of comments, questions and views. This even prompted me to startup a new YouTube channel called TRT Over 40 dedicated to just this subject and even though I really have not spent a lot of time making videos for the TRT Over 40 channel it still seems to get a lot of new subscribers and comments.

What does all this mean? I guess TRT (Testosterone Replacement Therapy) is a hot topic and on the minds of a lot of men out there who may be feeling the effects of low Testosterone and would like to find out what they can do about it!

In this video I address this subject head on and talk about a company that I have been in communication with that is one of the top ranked US based TRT Clinics in the US with excellent review rankings at TrustPilot.com, go see for yourself! The company's name is Royal Medical Center Hormone Therapy, and yes they offer hormone therapy for both Men and Women. Royal Medical Center has been providing TRT for almost 10 years and treats patients through the US. Their TRT program is all-inclusive and they treat you based on your symptoms, not just your blood-work results.

Here's what you get with your monthly fee:

  • Program Is truly all-inclusive.
  • Treat your symptoms.
  • Follow up lab work is completed at 3 months or 90 days.
  • Doctor consultations are always free.
  • Medication is shipped directly to you at no additional cost from a FDA approved pharmacy.
  • No contract. No hidden fees. No additional start up fees.

You are probably wondering how much it's going to cost you to get on a program like this and feel a whole lot better?

Normally this program will cost you $195 per month which is a great deal considering everything that is included. I have setup a Promo Code (GFO40) with Royal Medical Center that will save you $45 per month after your initial consultation from Royal Medical Center.

The GFO40 Promo is a $195 initial payment which covers the first month of medication, initial doctor consultation, lab work, physical exam and all medications. Typical medications are Testosterone Cypionate, hCG and a AI which is typically infused with the Testosterone for the start of therapy but can be non-infused if requested and in pill form. Dosages vary on patients symptoms and lab work. Then $150 each month thereafter.

Consider how much some of these other harsh drugs many people are taking prescribed by none TRT doctors to address  problems like depression, sexual dysfunction, low energy, and many other symptoms caused by your Hormones being out of balance!

Watch my YouTube video for more details on how you can find out if Is TRT Right for You and Where Can You Get It!

I am starting out with a US based provider of TRT but hope to expand to Canada and other parts of the world as long as I can find similar reputable establishment. If you're one such establishment, please reach out to me and we can discuss this further.
