Welcome back to Iron Sights! I am joined by Chris Ellis from Santa Cruz Power Fitness for a discussion on hormone replacement therapy. Chris offers a unique perspective on hormone replacement therapy and anabolics, shedding light on their role in the world of fitness and sports performance. Throughout our conversation, we address the misconceptions and stigma often associated with hormone replacement therapy, as well as the potential health risks. It is important to note that this is a general discussion, and while we are not medical professionals, we aim to share our knowledge and experiences regarding this widely discussed topic within our industry.Timestamps00:00 Intro05:35 Amateur League Of Bodybuilding15:31 Discovery Process Of BodyBuilding: Past & Present23:26 Hormone Replacement Therapy28:49 The Tabu Of Taking Hormones: Male vs Female35:19 The Effects Of Using Steroids41:42 Chris's Experience With TRT50:04 Starting HRT/TRT Therapy57:08 Do You Need Hormone Replacement Therapy?01:06:10 Scott's Experience01:17:47 HRT Treatments01:28:16 Dealing With Testosterone Treatment01:47:48 Your TRT Dosage01:55:10 Precautions With TRT02:01:21 Unbalanced Lifestyle Leads = Unbalanced Hormonal Problems02:08:21 Experiences With Professionals Who Treat Hormonal Problems02:15:14 Final CommentsRed Dot Fitness Training Programs:https://www.rdftrainonline.comOnline Membership (Full Access To All Programs & Virtual Coaching):https://www.reddotfitness.net/online-membershipVirtual Coaching:https://www.reddotfitness.net/virtual-coachingSelf-Guided Programs:https://www.reddotfitness.net/Self-Guided-Programs1Connect With Us:Website - https://ironsightspodcast.com/Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/ironsightspodcast/Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/ironsightspodcast/More Iron Sights Interviews:Triple Feed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VMTc7AE0KaQ&t=384sKayley Gunner: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nfGqHxCv7Vc&t=522sMike Salemi: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jq-Nj6M0EBI&t=335sAdam Schafer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BiyrdWdO1y8&t=8sSal Di Stefano: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JBdKdSjQ0BM&t=4425sJason Khalipa: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YTiq-sID-EMByron Rodgers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XrtEyuVNNpwDonnie Oliver: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cKY1_TLKHlIChris Cheng: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wr0zSGSTzKM&t=2sTraver Boehm: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r_NLdIg3zBc&t=1394s
