In this part of the video, Dr. Cameron Sapa announces a major scientific breakthrough – the first oral testosterone replacement therapy that is nonsuppressive, allowing for the maintenance of natural testosterone production while augmenting it with testosterone. He explains the innovative approach of using enclomiphene (enamine) to block estrogen and stimulate natural testosterone production, emphasizing its advantages over traditional testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) in terms of maintaining testicular size, function, and fertility without long-term dependence. Dr. Sapa also discusses the limitations of oral TRT formulations in the past due to poor oral bioavailability and liver toxicity concerns with methyl testosterone.

In this segment of the video, different forms of testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) are discussed. Topical testosterone in gel or cream form on the scrotum or chest, intranasal testosterone, and oral testosterone are reviewed. The new oral testosterone forms have been designed to be orally bioavailable and are less liver toxic. They are convenient but expensive due to being patented drugs. The downside of injectable testosterone is its quick spike and conversion to estrogen, leading to side effects. TRT can also suppress natural hormone pathways affecting mood and cognitive function. The combination of oral testosterone with other supplements can offer a balanced approach in TRT. The suppressiveness of TRT is influenced by its half-life, with oral and topical forms providing a good trade-off between convenience and biological effects.

In this segment of the video, it is discussed how combining oral testosterone with enamine can mitigate the suppressive effects of testosterone therapy. This combination allows for high levels of total and free testosterone while maintaining LH and FSH levels as if no drugs were being taken. Clinical trials have shown positive results, with patients experiencing increased energy, mood, work, athletic performance, and libido. The oral testosterone should be taken with a fatty meal for optimal effectiveness. The dosing is usually once daily with a fatty breakfast, leading to testosterone levels spiking at about 4 hours and returning to normal by hour eight. This dosing strategy follows the natural biorhythm of testosterone in the body, minimizing suppression and improving overall patient satisfaction. The innovation has shown promising results in trials and is set to be available in various states, with favorable outcomes in symptom alleviation and patient well-being.

In this part of the video, the speaker discusses the “testosterone protocol” or “testosterone protocol V2,” which offers three options: Enamine on its own, oral testosterone replacement therapy on its own, or a combination of oral testosterone with Enamine. The speaker addresses misconceptions and scaremongering around Enamine, highlighting its safety profile and minimal side effects compared to Clomid. They emphasize the importance of personalized dosing, starting low and slow with Enamine, and adjusting based on individual response. The speaker also explains how the Enamine dose may need to be adjusted when combined with oral TRT to avoid testosterone suppression. The focus remains on finding the minimum effective dose for optimal results while minimizing side effects.

In this part of the video, the speaker highlights the importance of free testosterone over total testosterone levels, emphasizing the role of Sex Hormone-Binding Globulin (SHBG) in determining free testosterone. They also discuss the administration of oral testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) using solid tablets, contrasting it with oil-based capsules. The speaker explains how the tablets are absorbed by the lymphatic system after ingestion, emphasizing the importance of dosing instructions, including taking the tablets with a fatty meal and potential dosing frequency options. They also mention the convenience of at-home blood testing for monitoring testosterone levels and dosage adjustments. The speaker stresses the reliability of the oral TRT, noting long-term studies showing no tolerance development. Additionally, they touch on the variability in the pharmacokinetics of drug absorption and the average peak levels of oral testosterone occurring within 3 to 5 hours post-ingestion.
00:50:00
In this part of the video, the speaker discusses the effects of taking Enclomiphene for testosterone boosting and how taking it with testosterone can maintain higher natural testosterone levels without dropping to baseline. The process of switching from TRT to Enclomiphene is explained, suggesting a gradual transition with lab work monitoring. The benefits of oral testosterone over injectable testosterone, especially in terms of aromatization and estrogen levels, are highlighted. The speaker emphasizes the convenience and efficacy of Enclomiphene for maintaining testosterone levels and discusses the differences in side effects between Enclomiphene and traditional treatments like aromatase inhibitors.

In this segment of the video, the speaker discusses the importance of monitoring estradiol levels when using injectable testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) as it can aromatize into estradiol. Oral testosterone tends to metabolize more into DHT, which is associated with benefits like increased aggression and drive. DHT can act as a natural aromatase inhibitor, controlling estradiol levels. If DHT levels become too high, it can exacerbate hair loss and acne, but these side effects can be managed by reducing the oral testosterone dose or using a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor like dutasteride. Combining oral TRT with dutasteride can help mitigate concerns about hair loss and acne. The speaker highlights the safety and efficacy of this approach, emphasizing the importance of monitoring liver enzymes. Despite potential side effects, the speaker views the combination of oral TRT and dutasteride positively as a way to optimize testosterone levels and manage side effects effectively.

In this part of the video, the speaker discusses the difference between amateur scientists who experiment and measure outcomes versus influencers who speculate or regurgitate information without solid evidence. They emphasize the importance of critical thinking and individual testing rather than blindly following influencers. The speaker also highlights the need for nuance in scientific discussions, particularly in the realm of hormone optimization, and stresses the value of personal experimentation and data analysis. Different forms of testosterone administration are discussed, and the importance of individual preferences in choosing the right approach is emphasized. The speaker predicts a rise in the acceptance and usage of testosterone replacement therapy and related solutions. Additionally, there is a personal anecdote shared regarding high SHBG levels affecting free testosterone and discussing potential remedies.
01:20:00
In this segment of the video, the speaker discusses the importance of understanding SHBG, albumin levels, and calculating free testosterone levels. They explain how SHBG levels are largely genetic and changing them chemically may not be beneficial. The speaker also addresses the impact of oral testosterone on lowering SHBG and increasing free testosterone levels. They emphasize that efforts to reduce SHBG chemically may be misguided. The benefits and risks of igf-1 and growth hormone are also discussed, with a focus on oral testosterone increasing igf-1 levels. Furthermore, the speaker advises on the possible use of enamine or oral trt plus en clopine as a solution for individuals with high SHBG levels looking to increase muscle mass.
01:30:00
In this part of the video, the speaker discusses the benefits of taking enamine. The main points highlighted include an increase in energy levels without the jitteriness of caffeine, improvements in mood, enhanced work performance, athletic performance, and potential for lean muscle gain. The speaker also mentions the decrease in depression and anxiety, and the potential for increased free testosterone levels. Additionally, the impact on strength, workout ability, and competitive sports performance is touched upon. The speaker suggests combining enamine with oral TRT for even higher free T levels. The discussion also includes personal experiences and considerations regarding the convenience and safety of the protocol.
