🧠 Early neuropsychological effects of TRT
A study found that within days to weeks of TRT initiation, patients may have:
• Improved mood
• Reduced depression
• Enhanced cognition
How?
Testosterone influences dopamine & serotonin; critical for mood regulation, motivation & cognitive processing. [1]

🧠 Feeling down?
Testosterone plays a measurable role in mood
Studies demonstrate:
• TRT is associated with reductions in depressive symptoms
• Positive mood states increase, while negative mood states decline
• These effects have been observed within approximately 3 weeks of therapy initiation [1]

📊 COVID-19–associated telogen effluvium (CATE)
Retrospective study of 69 patients found:
• ~80% with mild to moderate shedding from Covid
• Onset of shedding ~117 days post infection
• Low-dose oral minoxidil (LDOM) worked to curb the shedding
• Median shedding resolution time: 93 days [1]

Testosterone’s early mood effects are likely mediated through its interaction with key neurotransmitters involved in affect regulation.[1]
• Dopaminergic signaling → motivation and reward
• Serotonergic pathways → mood stability
This helps explain why mood improvements are often reported early on.

• Serotonergic pathways → mood stability

Cut fat. Keep muscle. 🔥
A new Journal of Nutrition & Metabolism study shows natural lifters can hold onto muscle while shredding fat with:
🥩 High-protein diet
🏋️♂️ Intense resistance training
⚖️ Smart and slight calorie deficit [1]
Lean doesn’t have to mean small. Train smarter.

🔥 Even with a 40% calorie deficit, lifters gained muscle + lost fat — but only when eating high protein.
Keys:
💪 Protein protects muscle in a deficit
⚡ Lower calories don’t have to mean weaker gains
➡️ Bottom line: You don’t shrink in a cut — if you put protein 1st. [1]

💤 Sleep isn’t lazy—it’s anabolic.
High stress + low sleep = high cortisol → less muscle, more fat.
✅ Get 7+ hours a night
✅ Manage stress (lift, breathe, move)
✅ Protect your gains [1]

💪Want max muscle and strength?
Here’s the science-backed formula👇
🔥 Mix compound + isolation lifts
⚙️ Hit 8–12 reps, stop ~2–3 shy of failure
📈 Keep total volume high — 2017 meta-analysis shows it drives more growth [1]
Consistency > gimmicks.
