What is the Safest Steroid? (the TRUTH)
Summary
TLDRThe video discusses the safety of anabolic androgenic steroids, emphasizing the lack of conclusive studies and relying on anecdotal evidence. It highlights the importance of individual medical profiles, recovery, and the potential risks associated with various steroids. Testosterone is presented as the 'safest' option, with a focus on low doses and close monitoring.
Takeaways
- 🚫 Lack of Scientific Evidence: There are no prospective randomized double-blinded trials to confirm the safety of any anabolic androgenic steroid.
- 📚 Anecdotal Information: The speaker relies on anecdotal evidence from thousands of patients who have used steroids and their experiences.
- 🔄 Relative Safety: The safety of anabolic steroids is relative and depends on individual factors such as age, medical profile, and family history.
- 💉 Vigorous Monitoring: For those using steroids, especially older individuals, rigorous health screening and monitoring are essential.
- 📉 Potential for Adverse Effects: Steroid use can lead to various health issues, including heart, mental, prostate, organ, and kidney health problems.
- 💪 Testosterone as the 'Safest': Among steroids, testosterone is considered the safest when used for testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) with proper monitoring.
- 🚫 Not for Young Adults: Testosterone use is not recommended for young adults as it can lead to shutdown of the body's natural testosterone production.
- 💊 Dosage Matters: The effects of steroids are dose-dependent, with lower doses potentially being safer but also less effective.
- 🔄 Recovery is Key: Recovery after a steroid cycle is crucial, with some individuals fully recovering while others may require ongoing TRT.
- 🚫 Other Steroids: Other anabolic steroids like Dianabol, Anadra, Winstrol, and Tren have been used but are not considered as safe as testosterone.
- 🤔 Personal Decision: The decision to use steroids should be a personal one, considering the potential risks, benefits, and the individual's health status.
Q & A
What is the speaker's initial response to the question about the safest anabolic androgenic steroid?
-The speaker's initial response is that there are no trials, prospective randomized double-blinded studies, or great outcome trials to show if there's a safe steroid. Therefore, the discussion has to rely on anecdotal information from patients who have used steroids.
What does the speaker emphasize about anabolic steroid safety?
-The speaker emphasizes that anabolic steroid safety is a relative term and depends on various factors such as the individual's medical profile, family history, and age. It's important to consider the spectrum of safety, from minimal effects to full-blown effects.
Why does the speaker mention the importance of monitoring and health screening for older individuals considering steroid use?
-The speaker mentions the importance of monitoring and health screening for older individuals because they may have plaque in the arteries, which could make steroid use more damaging and less safe. Vigorous health screening is crucial to mitigate potential risks.
What is the speaker's view on the use of testosterone as a steroid?
-The speaker views testosterone as the safest steroid by anecdotal information. It is commonly used for testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) and has a well-documented safety profile if closely monitored. However, it can still lead to shutdown of the body's natural testosterone production.
What are some of the delivery systems for testosterone mentioned by the speaker?
-The speaker mentions several delivery systems for testosterone, including pills, gels, creams, patches, and pellets. Each system has its own advantages and disadvantages, and the choice depends on the individual's needs and preferences.
What is the speaker's advice on the use of anavar and masteron?
-The speaker suggests that low doses of anavar and masteron, used intermittently and in conjunction with testosterone, might be safer options. However, he emphasizes that these are not medical recommendations but observations based on anecdotal evidence.
Why does the speaker discuss the concept of 'blast and cruise' in the context of steroid use?
-The speaker discusses 'blast and cruise' to explain a common pattern among steroid users where they take high doses ('blast') for a period and then maintain the effects with lower doses or testosterone ('cruise'). This approach is not sustainable or safe in the long term.
What are some of the potential health risks associated with steroid use that the speaker mentions?
-The speaker mentions several potential health risks associated with steroid use, including anabolic steroid-induced hypogonadism, heart issues, mental health problems, prostate health, organ health, and kidney health. These risks depend on the type, dose, and duration of steroid use.
What is the speaker's stance on the sustainability of steroid use?
-The speaker questions the sustainability of steroid use, emphasizing that the effects and potential health risks are cumulative. He suggests that close monitoring and responsible use are crucial for minimizing harm, but ultimately, the decision to use steroids should be carefully considered.
How does the speaker conclude the discussion on steroid safety?
-The speaker concludes by emphasizing the importance of individual decision-making and the need for close monitoring and vigilance. He encourages viewers to think critically about the risks and benefits of steroid use and to make informed decisions based on their personal health profiles.
Outlines
💪 Anabolic Steroid Safety: A Relative Concept
The speaker begins by addressing the question of the safest anabolic androgenic steroid, emphasizing that there are no definitive trials to prove the safety of any steroid. He relies on anecdotal evidence from his experience with thousands of patients. The concept of anabolic steroid safety is presented as relative, depending on factors such as age, medical history, and family history. The speaker encourages viewers to engage in the discussion through comments, highlighting the importance of individual medical profiles and the potential for varying effects and recovery times. The focus is on understanding the spectrum of safety, from minimal effects to full-blown effects, and the need for vigilant health screening and monitoring.
🏥 The Importance of Recovery and Monitoring
This paragraph delves deeper into the recovery aspect of steroid use, questioning whether the hypothalamic-pituitary axis recovers naturally after steroid use and whether individuals end up needing testosterone replacement therapy. The speaker discusses the concept of anabolic steroid-induced hypogonadism, which is his area of expertise. He stresses the importance of harm reduction and the need for close monitoring of health, particularly in older individuals who may be more susceptible to negative effects. The paragraph also touches on the cosmetic and health-related concerns associated with steroid use, such as hair loss, gynecomastia, acne, heart health, mental health, prostate health, and kidney health.
🚫 Steroid Regimens: What's Safe and What's Not
The speaker discusses the safety of various steroid regimens, starting with the assertion that testosterone is the safest steroid based on anecdotal evidence and its common use in testosterone replacement therapy. He differentiates between different delivery systems for testosterone, such as pills, gels, creams, patches, and pellets. The paragraph also addresses other steroids like Dianabol, Anavar, Winstrol, and Tren, noting that while they can be used safely by some, they are generally not sustainable or safe for long-term use. The speaker emphasizes the need for a differential diagnosis of exclusion to determine what is potentially safe and what is not, based on individual health profiles and the potential for side effects.
🏋️♂️ Low Dose Steroid Use: Anecdotal Evidence
In this paragraph, the speaker shares anecdotal evidence of men who have used low doses of steroids like Anavar and Masteron, particularly on training days, and have managed to maintain their health. He notes that these individuals have good genetics, do not smoke or drink, and are under vigilant medical care. The speaker emphasizes that these regimens are not medical recommendations but rather observations from his experience. He also discusses the potential benefits of adding small doses of Masteron to testosterone therapy, such as increased free testosterone levels and anti-estrogenic effects, while cautioning that these are not universally effective and can vary from person to person.
🤔 The Cumulative Effects and Sustainability of Steroid Use
The final paragraph wraps up the discussion by focusing on the cumulative effects of steroid use and the importance of sustainability. The speaker warns about the potential for negative effects on the heart, blood clots, red blood cells, and the central nervous system, emphasizing that these effects can be exacerbated by high doses and prolonged use. He encourages viewers to consider the long-term implications of steroid use and to prioritize their health. The speaker concludes by inviting viewers to share their experiences and perspectives in the comments, hoping that the video helps men make informed decisions about whether to use steroids and how to do so safely if they choose to.

what is
the safest anabolic
androgenic steroid
and is there one
is there actually a safe antibiotic
steroid
well people have asked me this for many
many years and my initial response is
very straightforward that
we have no trials on this we have no
prospective randomized double-blinded
you know we have no great really
outcome trials to really show us if
there's a safe steroid or not so it has
to come down to anecdotal information
which i have
much
actually on thousands of patients
that have used steroids and have come to
me and trusted me as a physician for
many years
[Music]
anabolic steroid safety is a very
relative term
very relative term because indeed people
have used steroids for decades actually
and some of these people actually appear
to kind of live
long and normal lifespans and quality of
life but let's get right into it guys
let's talk about this so this is very
important actually so stay with me on
this
and let's get a lot of comments because
apart from my discussion here
it's going to be the comments and the
openness from all of you for other men
to understand and to learn
and of course
this is something
that's so great on this channel thank
you so
it's a spectrum
of safety it's based on you
your history who are you
what's your medical profile what's your
family history this is stuff i do every
day guys
so are you young are you middle-aged or
older even middle-aged and old guys
start steroids and it's obviously
potentially going to be more damaging
and less safe for them because they're
older and they may have plaque in the
artery do you have plaque well
you need vigorous monitoring you need
vigorous
health screening and that's why i love
to help you guys so
let's look at let's look at safe
steroids as a spectrum of safety
so there's minimal effects
to full
blown effects
and if you look at the minimal effects
you know you have to look at someone
uses a steroid which whichever one we're
going to discuss here through the end
of what steroids there are the compounds
and the profiles and
dose and duration
and
what happens is do you have full
recovery do you do the six-week cycle
of anavar or testosterone and do you
recover
and is your recovery in full do you have
any medical consequences during it
or as we consider and discuss in the
post period those does post
psychotherapy work for you does it work
for anyone actually hey guys quick pause
as you've noticed over the last month or
so i've been doing a lot of traveling i
want to mention a tool you may want to
use if you're a traveler like me
surfshark vpn
surfshark is jam-packed with features
that benefit travelers it allows its
users to overcome location
based price discrimination on things
like car rentals by connecting to vpn
servers in other countries surf shark
will also help you not get frozen out of
your own bank account when you're
traveling far from home
lastly this is my favorite surf shark
will allow you to safely connect to
public wi-fi by encrypting your data i
relied on public wi-fi when i was on the
road last month the whole time
surf shark
will allow you to stay safe on the road
does post psychotherapy work for you
does it work for anyone actually there's
no data on this stuff guys it's all
anecdotal
so
we have to see it as a spectrum of
safety so you have to think guys i do
this for you to think is it safe what is
safe but we're going to go into the
different drugs we're going to do it
because it's ethical and it's
educational for you and i want you to
think it's all about stimulating your
own thought questioning yourself is it
worth it do you want to do it i know you
did your research but does the research
end up being something that leads you to
a place where
you are happy you did it and it worked
or are you regretful
and do you suffer and are you hurt and
what do you do about it so
you have to look at it from the first
piece is do you recover is it safe from
a perspective do you recover
do you do you take a steroid with or
without pct and does your hypothalamus
pituitary go natural axis recover and do
you end up
needing to be on testosterone guys
with without hcg and clomid and all
these other kind of drugs
for years months and years can you go on
and off the fact is men can
but
you cross this line you cross this line
keep coming at me do another cycle i
don't care what you do i don't obviously
minimal drugs if you do a baby dose of
anavar for for one week or two weeks
um and you come off you don't have an
effect because you didn't get an effects
or
the mountain you climb in the fall is
going to be proportional to the energy
of the fall and the climb the potential
and the kinetics guys you've got to
think of it that way dose dependent
durability sustainability you got to
think of these is it sustainable what's
going to happen guys think so
number one number one safety measure is
anabolic steroid induced hypogonadism
it's my claim to fame what i work on
with you guys you do steroids i don't
care if it's one two ten years
somewhere along the line you get shut
down and that's where i come into play
and that's my number one safety feature
so
and then it becomes harm reduction guys
then it becomes harm reduction
obviously the first piece is going to be
are you shut down or not and do you
recover do you recover in one month two
months six months do you need the full
year to recover do you regret it do you
come back is your sex drive exactly
great as it was before you did it
then after that guys this is i have to
prioritize it after this
it will be is it safe for hair is it
gynecomastia and acne that's cosmetic
stuff then is it safe for your heart is
it safe for your mental health your
prostate health your organ health your
kidney health guys
please and it's inherent to your history
the duration the amount of steroid what
steroids again it's all going to be a
little bit a little a little bit has a
little bit of a response in an aftermath
a lot bit has a lot bit of a response in
aftermath guys look at the comments give
me the comments let's hear it there's a
spectrum of people
people in in life in physics and
medicine is always a spectrum no disease
mild disease moderate disease severe
disease along that way are you getting
hurt that's why the monitoring and the
vigorous the vigorous vigilance in the
safety is just what i'm driving home
so let's go into it what is the safest
steroid by any means in any anecdotal
information there's no studies is going
to be testosterone
it's a steroid and it's commonly used
for
testosterone replacement it
is going to be a spectrum itself
baby doses micro doses
trt doses what's trt versus a steroid
for all you new guys very interesting
this guy's oh he's just on testosterone
he's on trt i don't know but you know
but he takes 400 a week or 200 a week
and then you look at the freitas tasha
owner of the total depending when he
went to the lab depending on what he's
on it's a huge number then it's a
steroid but then if he waits a few more
days he goes to the lab and his tier t
or he's even lower now he started
testosterone very commonly he goes to
the lab two weeks later and he's lower
than his baseline what's going on guys
come on
so testosterone has to be looked at from
delivery system perspective there's
going to be a pill testosterone
underneath that's rarely used and but it
is available it has to be taken twice a
day with meals
it doesn't work as great as some of the
other mechanisms which is
intramuscularly inter-muscular delivery
system but it's available there's gels
and creams there's a patch and there's a
pellet okay
now if you look at testosterone it's
well documented for decades with a
decent and safe safety profile if
closely monitored
it does produce wellness for men that
again need it and they're well monitored
and are on the appropriate dose
and it is most importantly sustainable
for life now this is just let's go into
testosterone intermuscular esters okay
propionate
syphinate and they sustain on 250 those
are the big ones there's combinations of
different things so
it's the small doses guys again but
again it's going to shut you down you
have to understand that you're going to
be shut down are you 18 19 years old
is that right to tell you to go on
testosterone that's ridiculous that's
going to shut you down but
somewhere along the line if you are shut
down and you need testosterone or if you
have low testosterone and you're on
testosterone esters
and you feel great is it a steroid and
can you have sustained
well-being
you can there's tons of data on this
there's no perfect data on testosterone
randomized double blinded prospective
studies but there's a lot of studies
anecdotally there's a lot of data that
it's common sense and if you take
testosterone and you need it and you
keep the dose as low as you can you can
do really well
obviously so
that's the safest steroid guys and it's
interesting that
bodybuilder every guy that does steroids
which there are tens and millions now
they end up
on a base taking testosterone
give me the comments guys i mean this is
just no question no one's going to
disagree with this so
theoretically
the safer steroid is without doubt
testosterone the doses something like
0.35 this is testosterone 78 for an
example dopes 200 milligrams per
milliliter 0.35 to 0.5
you know three to five days every three
to five maybe seven days
every seven days you know and you want
to use the lowest effective dose
and it will it can be outstanding
absolutely outstanding and it will it
will increase i mean your free
testosterone guys is going to be higher
than your testicles could ever make so
it's technically a steroid so you have
to be careful and again you're going to
be shut down now
so that's it
after this guys what's next
other steroids
you have to kind of start off with with
a a kind of a differential diagnosis of
exclusion you have to kind of exclude
like what's not potentially safe as far
as the steroids and the mechanisms and
the delivery regimens if you will so
what's not safe you know there are other
regimens that are not sustainable and
they're done in cycles right it's deeple
anadra winstrol echo poise decade roblon
and then tren so it's not that guys
haven't done them
and they haven't lived to tell about it
or hey man i'm fine they're all on
testosterone right so they're all into
they're gonna blast and cruise guys
blast and cruise scott so many of you
guys have been coming to me with
consoles and on the app it's awesome and
they don't know what blast and cruise
means and the guys who really know what
blast and cruise means they are aware of
what i'm talking about you do steroids
you cross the line you're going to need
to be cruising on testosterone trt which
is the doses in wrestling are not trt
doses technically that for an example a
physician will give
because they're just not sustainable
they're too high
you know but it's common sense so
these drugs that i just talked about the
dianabol the android the winstrol the
aquapois the decadarablum tren
they're done
in conjunction
usually with steroids
and high doses of testosterone and and
other drugs of course we're not talking
about clembuterol and other
performance-enhancing drugs and
growth hormone these things we're
talking straight up steroids so that
they're because they're it's not safe
but they can be safe because guys are
young and healthy based on your profile
and they don't do much
you look at some of the other good
youtube guys that are amazing right
they're not doctors obviously but they
they pour their blood and guts out
talking about information and they've
done steroids for an example greg
deschat amazing guy he's done steroids
he's very very openly said that his age
he's just on t or t
but he still looks phenomenal so he
maintains and he's on trt and apparently
he looks really he's healthy on the
inside smart guy this guy he's not a
doctor and he doesn't say he's a doctor
so
is it sustainable and is it safe
obviously if you do one d-ball pill
every month is it going to work but
therefore is it safe but doesn't it even
worth it think guys think these are the
regiments there's no long-term studies
on it but let's get into something i
want to tell you guys because this is
what this video is
what's a safe steroid i told you it's
testosterone there's no question but
you're going to have to need it and
you're going to be shut down let's move
on that's your decision
next one is what other regimens have
been used for
decades and they've appeared to skirt
significant health consequences
something like low doses of anavar
alternative regimens maybe anavar 10 to
20 milligrams on training days where
guys will use it once a week twice a
week three times a week even low dose
every day but but that's not potentially
safe and again no one knows what safety
is this is not medical information and
recommendations at all this is simply
talking anecdotally what i've seen men
for decades i've had met some men for
almost 20 years under my care or the
grace of god
and they're healthy they have good
genetics they've taken good care of
those they don't smoke they don't drink
they use a little bit of steroids doc
i've trained
they're all on testosterone guys so
they're all going to be on testosterone
because they cross a line and the safety
pro protocol and the profile end up
shutting them down so they need
to cruise on trt tier to hopefully it's
real trt and they've been monitored
vigorous monitoring with me and other
physicians and they've been lucky so
good luck in here too so and they've
taken throughout the year i hear it all
the time guys i'm not recommending you
i'm just telling you what i hear what
i'm passing along
small doses on training days of anavar
and but they don't run every training
day they don't run it every week every
month and every year they're they take
breaks and again they're vigorously
washed because they've been under my
care they came to me because they cared
about this and physicians this is why
we're moving into it and so many good
physicians contact me and refer patients
to me unfortunately a lot of them is too
late where they have severe disease
already and it's too late we have to
um really just harm reduction
and secondary and tertiary um
protection and just and medical
consequences it's so sad
now what's next in addition to like the
trt and the nfr
so many men have done trt and small
doses of masteron again so the anova are
interesting in the master on both dht
derived drugs you can see all the videos
i've done the educational videos on this
so
you know so men add small doses of
masteron i don't know what the doses are
guys small doses in addition to the
testosterone it does a couple of things
you know it increases the free
testosterone profile and it's pretty
consistent it some people think although
i've checked labs on this and it's not
across the board something that i would
support but it's like an anti-astrogenic
effects and don't hate on estrogen guys
i think i've proved that
um but certainly if you have too much
estrogen in your you have anxiety and
all these things not to mention
gynecomastia
acne and these things it's it's going to
worsen things common sense guys common
sense so dose dependent
but it it it can have effects it could
some men love that effect
not recommendations guys they love a
little tiny added dose of masteron i've
seen it for years with guys
and they'll come off
and it will it increases the free to
stop they have a wellness
sense of wellness if they don't have
depression and anxiety have to
understand this guys not recommendations
and to profile of the individual patient
is paramount
but they they'll they'll get the the
wellness that the brain affects i sell
more cars i'm just a nicer person i just
feel more bubbly and confident and
sustained
wow the sex
unbelievable now is it sustained are
there
trials on this and is there
trials that show perspective that you
can stay on this stuff and your free
testosterone is up on masteron what's
going to happen to the free discussion
with your left ventricle
the red blood cells
your prostate bph
wow
wow
this is incredible this is why we're
here to think guys so follow me on this
but i can tell you this i don't care if
it's test low dose with mastering or
alternative dose anavar
on training days
but these are definitely those are the
two
safest quote unquote as per the
anecdotal literature in anecdotal men
and the anecdotes in the history of
what's out there in the streets for
years versus taking trend with something
i mean and i'm not saying guys they
haven't done it but it that's just not
sustainable and safe dianaball i know
guys doing anadrol danable equipoise we
know it but nothing like these other two
drugs like anavar and masteron and again
it's not medical advice guys this is an
educational video
but in the end what happens and is it
sustainable on masteron or even anovar
do they feel poorly they can
i've seen the sex
numb down it's interesting these dht
derived drugs on top of ester of
testosterone
wow this is great for the bro science
guys so what happens to the suction
nervous system does it numb down i've
seen many men live on too much of this
with the testosterone too much and
anavar and they are they're impotent
and it they did great through period and
then they just came to a point and i
have to hit a reset button a lot of you
guys know and you guys know i've talked
about that so at one point and that
would that would obviously lead to the
the minimal alternative regimens of
hitting it and backing off hitting it
and backing off and being safe
where but then is it a factual is there
an effect does it sustain is it worth it
it's up to you guys what's happening to
your heart blood clots red blood cells
have to think about it
many other regimens are intermittent and
low dose
and men have done it
and there's there's just no question
no question at all the side effects in
the safety profile start from
the cumulative effects guys the
cumulative effect of using these drugs
with testosterone even by themselves i
want you to think cumulative you know
what happens your hair
gynecomastia
of course the cosmetic in the acne
heart
prostate central nervous system
mood anxiety depression worsening
baseline guys it's baseline and it's on
the steroid now
and
sex
because having great sex typically leads
to great moods
having bad sex typically leads to bad
moods
you got to understand this guys so with
all these
all this these regimens
close monitoring is absolutely
without doubt going to be the safest
means possible for any man
and any domain in any understanding
under any regimen actually
any medical regimen of monitoring that's
what we do for any medicine blood
pressure medicine cholesterol medicine
any any acne medicine accutane you need
to be monitored so
that's it guys let's get some comments
always want to do this video i think i
pulled it off ethically and i think we
need to get something out of it right
because i actually gave you some
information
so
lay it out guys let it out let's go
get the comments going on this let's
really see from you
what's been safe
from your perspective and something
maybe it's not been safe
and and the acute medical issues not to
mention chronic medical issues thank you
so much guys for the love and the
support and most importantly i really
hope
this video helps
men young men make a decision for of
course not doing steroids at all and
making an alternative plan
and if you're on steroids to protect
yourself
from
the get-go and from to be as smart as
you possibly can because it's a crap
shoot guys and life is a crapshoot
sometimes so you have to be healthy
as you can thank you so much i really
appreciate it
