Episode notes
Manage Fertility When Starting Testosterone
- If using testosterone, supplement DHEA/pregnenolone or support the HPG axis and plan fertility timing; HCG or clomiphene can restore spermatogenesis after suppression.
- Miguel and Carlos cite studies showing ~96% fertility recovery with proper protocols.
Use Magnesium To Stabilize Testosterone Effects
- Take magnesium (preferably bisglycinate) when on testosterone to prevent anxiety, insomnia, and enzyme depletion; doses vary but many need several hundred mg per day.
- Miguel links magnesium to 40% of enzymatic reactions including ATP and nitric oxide production.
Supplement Vitamin D With Magnesium And K2
- Supplement Vitamin D with magnesium and vitamin K2 to ensure proper activation and prevent vascular calcification.
- Treat vitamin D as a hormone (25-hydroxy D) and test/replace rather than guessing sunlight alone will suffice.
