MaximusHRT Doctor = True Professional

Welcome Wagon
Had the chance to talk to the Maximus doctor today on the phone to go over a few questions before he finished up the routine stuff.

He must have been the most sincere, caring and knowledgable doctor I have had the honor of dealing with. We went over the basics, then over additional questions I had and we even talked about a small heart issue I just found out I had and he had advice and answers for all of it, even about the heart stuff.

He then offered his extra support for me and actual concern about it taking me many years for help and I could tell he just wanted me to be the healthiest I could be.

That is exactly what a doctor should be like.

I was apprehensive to the whole idea of testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) at first. The farter I get along with Chip and the Maximus team, the more comfortable I get about my decision. I have the utmost trust and respect for them, and I am just getting started.

Thank you.

nice thread/post rowdybrad. I'm forwarding it to the doc. He'll be happy to see that. Thank you.
 
good post rowdy. Glad to hear the doctor is accessable like that.

if you dont mind sharing, what kind of heart issue do you have?
 
It is just a trace amount of mitrial regurgitation. Flap doesn't seal all the way so some blood comes back out when the valve seals. The doc says it is clinically insignificant because it is a trace amount and that it won't get any worse.

why is knowing who the Doctor is a need to know I just would like to know who they are using I would also like to know why they don't take Insurance?

i cannot answer indefinitely why they do not take insurance. But i would THINK, when accepting insurance, it is usually the insurance companies who defines the protocol. thus, inhibiting PROPER treatment. if you want access to the best doctors, you go through the proper channels and use Maximus. just MY view on it.

we dont take insurance because we don't. Simple as that. You don't know the doctor, nor do you need to know who our staff physicians are, unless you are a client of maximus hrt. Simple as that. I've already wasted my time with you on the phone, and i don't need to waste any more now. If you decide to become a client of maximus Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT), you will have an open line of communication to your prescribing physician any time you'd like. Again..... Simple as that.
 
My Maximus physician has good credentials and is versatile in several forms of medicine. I was quite impressed.

Chip you can really be a hard ass which I really do like. I would just Like to know what kind of Doctor you use is he an Endo or something else? And yes you did talk to me on the phone and I don't think it was a wast of my time, I am new to all this and I am like many of the people here just starting out I do go to and Endocrine now and am getting know where with him I have my next blood work on monday so I can see where I am. I just have a really hard time with not understanding why so many are taking more than just test for there TRT.

Sorry if I am wasting your time but I am one of those that need to know everything.

The bottom line is that taking "just Test" for some people would be the equivalent of throwing a band-aid on a bullet wound. Chip is incredibly knowledgeable about Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) and one of the best dudes I've had the pleasure of speaking with. My experience with the Physician was great as well. The good Doc took the time to listen to me and as was stated before, went far far far beyond just the "oh, well... here's a script, feel better. talk to you in a few months."

It's great that you're asking questions. I had a million questions as well. If you truly want to know as much as you can about treatment scour this forum from beginning to end. That's what I did, and guess what? I still had questions. Chip answered those questions. The Doctor answered those questions.

There are two very important things for you to consider my friend. The first is to remember that this kind of treatment is not a one-size-fits-all kind of deal. If that were the case we would all be walking around with TT levels at 1200, throwing wood left and right, raining offspring upon the unsuspecting population. testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) is not just about numbers though, it's about quality of life and how you feel on a daily basis. Test levels may only be part of the equation, there may be other imbalances at play.

The second is that you will never know everything. As i said before, Chip is as knowledgeable as they come and could probably right a book (or at least a users manual) on testosterone replacement therapy (TRT), but I promise you that he still researches and learns.

That being said, this is the best community there is, and we will support each other 100%. Keep asking questions, nothing wrong with that.

no, i'm not a hard ass at all. I'm an ok dude. I just keep it real and i dont have the time to answer questions or see them posted when i, obviously, wasted my time on the phone telling you those answers. Again....... Two of our docs are m.d.'s and one is a d.o.
They are not endo's. They actually, along with myself, know what we are doing. Again, as i told you for about a good 30 minutes on the phone... Hrt= test + Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) + ai
some people incorporate other prescribed Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) medications if the doc's see fit and if it will enhance their therapy to help achieve their desired levels of health/fitness/ and quality of life. We do not create bodybuilders. if anything, we rehabilitate guys that thought they were bodybuilders at one time in their lives and jacked their hormones all over the map. Again..... Since my discussion of this with you on the phone for the better part of 30 mins must not have answered these questions, feel free to ask them in the forum. Just please do not call me back again for another consult encompassing the same questions i have already answered and that you will hopefully have answered here, in the forum. I simply do not have the time to keep repeating myself. That is not called being a hard ass...... It is called being productive. I have no i'll will with you and would be happy to help you if you decide that you have done enough research and have faith in myself and doctors that specialize in this field of therapy. Best of luck in getting your answers and maybe we'll get the chance to work together. Either way...... you dont just "run" test. You will not accomplish your overall goals if you do. have a great day, SINCERELY!
 
Endos are a bunch of dumbasses. My endo told me my testosterone level at 850 was dangerously high out of range and she was concerned I would have a stroke with a level that high on my trt. Most other offices have reference ranges that go to 1200. And then when my SHBG was 60 pre testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) and my testosterone was low (which causes insulin resistance), and my insulin levels were double out of range what they should be she didn't even bother to call me back or offer any advice. I pleaded with her to tell me why as I was hypoglycemic and on the verge of passing out during the glucose tolerance test (this was 2 years ago), and she just kept telling me it was all in my head and I was not hypoglycemic, yet my insulin levels were huge and out of range. My GH levels were like 10 points above the bottom reference range when they should be in the 300s at my age and she didn't even comment. Cracked me the fuck up. They just want to see as many patients as possible and treat them like shit. And even my local GP says endos are idiots. She looked at my AM cortisol of 7 and said that that was "normal", when over 20 is where the number should be. If my AM cortisol is 7, chances are the rest of the day it is less than half that. Anti aging doctors know the body and hormone system, endos know what was written in an esoteric medical book that was made to prescribe antidepressants over actually treating a patient for a hormone deficiency.

So if you are so horny over seeing an endo conkl do it and waste a ton of money for nothing. Endos will not prescribe you a hormone unless you come in with levels worse than a 90 year old on his death bed. Have fun getting to that point. I'm not holding my breath.

Thank you guys for all your input I do understand a little of what you are saying this is still really all new for me. So I am really on the fence with all this information in just a couple of months now.
 
Trust Chip Bro, he will not do you wrong.. I emailed the and bugged the Shit out of him and he always replied they might have been short and to the point but they were answers, my old Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) doc that was only 30 minutes away couldn't answer a question without making a office visit.. Yes it is all very confusing and there are a lot of different camps out there that think their way is the only right way, Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) was very important to me for many reasons but mainly to keep my testicles a live and producing and Chip includes this because he knows your body needs it to stay balanced. I have only been with chip since October and I'm already getting back to my old self, the man has quite the following as you can see and the so far the man has lived up to everything that I've read about him and that is on more than just this one forum. So the way I see it is that you can keep sitting on the fence and feeling like Shit or you can take that step the doctors that you have now must not be helping because you wouldn't be still searching... Just remember he's a very busy man but took the time to help a lot of us right after having surgery himself and in my book that says a lot Bro would your current doc do that for you..
 
2nd that endo are not all they're cut out to be. If they were fat people wouldn't exist. Pops has low T and his endo wants him on 200mg a month to start out. Speaks volumes.
 
Conkl I'm not saying don't see an endo. There may be one competent endo out there, just probably not more than one by the reviews I've read and experienced. The endo will send you home with a doggy bag of crap and you will be out some money and end up still looking for answers. That's all I'm saying. I could care less what you do but I wish you the best.

First of all testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) and Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) are 2 different things. testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) is just that...Testosterone Replacement Therapy. Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is Hormone Replacement Therapy, which includes testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) plus anything else required to make you healthy.

If you just take the Testosterone, and you're like the other 99.9% of us with low test, the minimum of your problems will be Estrogen levels going through the roof.

I'm a perfect example. I started with a total test level of 255 and was put on test injections only. I felt better for a while, but then went downhill, hard. I asked my doc to check my Estrogen levels along with my Test, and was laughed at...literally. Then the doc said "We don't even check estrogen on women." I finally convinced the doc to check it and guess what?" My Estrogen was at 221, and the normal range is 50-114. If you haven't figured it out yet, testosterone is converted into estrogen. That's why true Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) administers an AI.

"In men, estrogen dominance stimulates breast cell growth and prostate hypertrophy. Since the male prostate is the embryonic equivalent of the uterus, it should not be surprising that estrogen dominance is also a major cause of prostate cancer." Dr. John Lee

Take your pick bro....real Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) or man-boobs & a bad prostate.
