Nelson Montana’s Insights After Two Decades of Utilizing Therapeutic Testosterone - a podcast by Jay Campbell

A lot of doctors are shying away from the use of aromatase inhibitors, but this could be negatively affecting older men on testosterone. Why should a man in his 60s take an aromatase inhibitor? Why are anti-aging clinics doing more harm than good? Is Clomid something we would recommend? On this episode, Nelson Montana is here to talk about his experience and insights on testosterone optimization drawn from two decades of using it.

Three Takeaways

• Few doctors have the experiential basis of knowledge that comes with long-term practice.
• There’s really no difference between taking 100mg and 200mg of testosterone, so why take 100mg more than you need?
• A person on Clomid only has elevated testosterone when they are on it. It also has a lot of negative side effects and increases estrogen. It’s actually just easier, cheaper, and better to use testosterone.
• The doctors who are using Clomid are afraid of legal trouble from giving testosterone to men.

 

At the start of the show, Nelson shared a bit on his life and talked about changes he has noticed in his body as he grows older. We discussed the issues with anti-aging clinics and why people should not be using Clomid. We also talked about the importance of factoring in the differences between people in the hormone optimization conversation.  

We also discussed:

• Micro-dosing aromatase inhibitors for older men
• How the internet is making us dumber
• Why everything is geared for us to be on one side of the fence or the other

 

If there is anything that’s truly the foundation of youth as a chemical constituent, it’s testosterone. The problems arise when people try to pass themselves off as hormone specialists and give terrible advice. This gets furthered by the general misconceptions that get in the way of the proper application of testosterone. People also try to apply generalized rules, but it’s called interventional endocrinology for a reason-- it’s not a cookie cutter methodology. Because our bodies are changing as we age, we’re also going to have to reevaluate and adapt as time goes on.
