đ TRAVERSE â Free TRT Pass
TRT zealots are butchering the science again, this time waving the TRAVERSE study around like itâs a hall pass for unlimited testosterone.
Letâs clear the air:
TRAVERSE studied older men with clinical low T
They used daily gel (not injections)
It was funded by AbbVie, the company selling the gel
The study only lasted a few years and didnât track long-term risks like heart remodeling, erythrocytosis, or fertility shutdown
It did not study high doses, young men, or weekly injection protocols like most TRT clinics use
Translation? That study tells you as much about your 200mg injection plan as a seatbelt test on golf carts tells you about Formula 1 crashes.
And yet, influencers and some clinics are screaming: âNo more black box warning! TRT is safe for everyone!â
Hereâs the truth:
Weekly injections cause hormone peaks and crashes
Most TRT protocols suppress fertility and thicken your blood
Most men donât even need TRTâthey need a hormone reboot, not a shutdown
TRT might help some people, but selling it as a risk-free, one-size-fits-all solution is lazy medicine backed by pharma marketing.
đ§ Donât fall for cherry-picked science
đ Donât sign up for lifetime injections based on a study that has nothing to do with you
đŤ Donât let hype override your biology
