The Reality of Female PED Use...

Added: 2026-05-05

[00:00:00]Compared to now, it's outrageous how much things have changed. If you're a female, there's so many better options.

[00:00:06]Don't blast steroids.

[00:00:08]Disclaimer, this video is educational and informative in nature. Do not contact anyone shown in this video.

[00:00:15]Also, this video is discussing steroids.

[00:00:18]Do not use steroids. This is entirely for educational and entertainment purposes only. A lot of my day is spent doom scrolling through social media.

[00:00:27]probably similar to yours to be honest.

[00:00:30]And in my doom scrolling, I a lot of the times find posts like these that are showing people who have completely obliterated themselves with steroid abuse. And it gives me concepts to talk about. It gives me motivation to be like, "Holy [ __ ] how did somebody let this happen?" You know, and then trying to convey the message that this is probably not the best way to live your life.

[00:00:51]>> Yes, definitely. Here we have a bodybuilding competitor in women's physique as she is an IFBB pro and her name is V. Marie. She basically is a well- accomplished bodybuilder but somebody that's gotten into the cookie jar. And by cookie jar I mean trend baloney sandwiches. There is a lot of steroids involved in a person's protocol like this one. And it's not going to take too much for you to figure out that holy [ __ ] she has the hell out of herself. And what verilization means is basically the development of male characteristics in a female's body through the use of androgens. This results in a lower voice deepened massively from where it naturally was.

[00:01:28]This results in skin texture changing, facial structure changing, hair growth happening in places that it doesn't normally happen for women and other things that are a little less PG. Upon scrolling through Instagram, I found this one specific video. Hello friends.

[00:01:44]It's time for another pros unboxing.

[00:01:48]So this is our March box. I ordered it in the end of February. So I, as usual, don't remember what I ordered, but let's see.

[00:02:00]All right. So this month I got the hairro complex.

[00:02:06]So this has veracol, lysine, cyanine, biotin, um 224 micrograms, vitamin D6, niacin. Um so this is a three scoop.

[00:02:22]Pretty much drink whenever. So I'm trying to grow my hair out. Um all about that hair health right now. And so I'm taking in all the things biotin and anything that's like hair growth, I'm taking it. Um, so we're adding that in.

[00:02:37]>> What the hell is even that?

[00:02:40]>> And immediately my first thought was, "Holy [ __ ] what is going on here? What happened? And where did we start?" Well, the thing about Victoria that's interesting is she's been bodybuilding for a very, very, very long time. She's been an athlete basically as far back as I can go, exceeding 10 years. But even in a period of about 8 years, a post like this comes up. And when you compare that video to now, which granted that video, she's still verilized. She's still been using steroids for a decent chunk of time, no doubt. But compared to now, it's outrageous how much things have changed.

[00:03:14]>> Hi everyone. So, I just want to make a short video on some of the Arbon products that you might not already know about. Uh they don't just make nutrition products, which are awesome. Um I just finished a 30-day challenge. It was great. Um you can ask me about that and I can send you some info. Um they also have a makeup line. And if you know anything about me, I'm horrible about putting makeup on. Complete dude. don't know how to do it. So, I just keep things basic. Um, so just a couple of the products I'm going to show you.

[00:03:35]Hello, friends. It's time for another pros unboxing.

[00:03:40]So, this is our March box. I ordered it in the end of February, so I, as usual, don't remember what I ordered, but let's see.

[00:03:53]All right, so this month I got the Hair Pro Complex.

[00:03:58]And that's not all that has changed because when you look at her facial structure from very early photos of her, it's obvious that she's lost a lot of the feminine features that you would expect a female to have. She was pretty, she was gorgeous, and she went through a lifestyle change at some point, which led her to bodybuilding. And when you compare that pretty and gorgeous young girl to the current Victoria that we're talking about, there is drastic, and I mean drastic, changes to her physical characteristics that are definitely what we can classify as the development of male characteristics through the exposure to androgens. And I think a lot of people tend to classify this who aren't in the fitness world as something that happens to women when they just start lifting weights. And I'm sorry, honey, but that's not actually the case.

[00:04:45]Unfortunately, this is what happens when women abuse steroids. You still naturally need to train hard, eat your protein, do what people should do to build muscle and an exceptional physique, but it is not going to correlate into you turning into a male and verilyizing yourself. That is strictly steroid abuse. And it genuinely and honestly saddens me to see somebody going from something like this to now this.

[00:05:08]>> All right, friends. We are on to unboxing number two. So, if you missed the first video, I just opened up some Bam Body Nutrition s'mores brownies. Um, right now we're going the complete opposite direction with New Ethics Formulations. And this isn't a bismerch to Victoria. I don't want to be rude here and unnecessarily, you know, blame her for everything that's happened to her. Because ultimately, while it is her decision to engage in these habits, a lot of the times we find that it's just people who aren't informed and they have coaches who recommend protocols or you have boyfriends who recommend protocols that are pretty [ __ ] delletterious and do cause symptoms like this. And they happen so fast you can't stop it. I mean, it literally within 2 months you could be completely fine and then on month three within a week everything changes. And once that's happened, it's completely irreversible. And then it becomes this sunken cost fallacy, which is essentially that once you've gone so far into losing and you feel like you're deep in the forest of loss, you just kind of keep going because at some point you think that there's going to be a payoff. So, you continue to lose and lose and lose and develop a cope, telling yourself that it's going to be worth it at the end of this road. And and this is a lot of what a bodybuilder's career can be in certain situations. Most bodybuilders aren't making any money from what they're doing unless you're at the tip top, but most of them are just genuinely not producing a lot of income for themselves. Now, let's explain a little bit of the science behind what's actually happening here and explain why this can happen to any female using any form of steroidal compound and why it's irreversible.

[00:06:42]You've heard me mention verilization as a word now several times, but essentially this is when women on anabolic androgenic steroids develop a form of masculineization. And it's very dependent on the dose of the compound, the actual compound, and the duration of use of that compound that these changes begin to elicit themselves. And I'm going to use terms interchangeably here.

[00:07:03]So just to preface, androgens is steroids. AAS stands for anabolic androgenic steroids. So it is steroids.

[00:07:11]Gears equals steroids. Sauce sizzle that equals steroids. There's a lot of different names for this [ __ ] but you get the idea. I'm talking about steroids. Do not use steroids. So androgens lower fundamental voice frequency by thickening and remodeling vocal folds, producing deeper, rougher, more masculine voices. The early signs of this are kind of like a raspy throat, like you're almost sick kind of thing.

[00:07:35]You frequently clearing your throat as a female and the instability of your voice or having that like the preubertal Scooby-Doo kind of voice. Right now, these vocal folds in a female do have localized androgen receptors and chronic androgen exposure increases the mass of those said folds, thickening them and therefore deepening the voice. You can think of it as a guitar string. When you pluck the thin guitar string, it's a much higher note, but when you pluck the thicker guitar string, it's a much lower note. The same kind of thing is happening here. It's a really rudimentary explanation, and I know some of you sants out there are going to tell me I'm wrong. You're right. This is just an easy way to conceptualize what's happening. And because of this permanent remodeling, the development of cartilage, ligament adaptation, and even muscle bulk and edema, the withdrawal of androgens does not fully reverse it and the voice changes are permanent and will not go away and are completely irreversible unless one was to get surgery for example. Then what also happens is the facial changes which I've talked about a lot. Androgens inherently activate osteoblast and osteoclast and that is going to develop bone and maturate it in different ways. But that's not all. Androgen stimulation in facial muscles and connective tissue increases protein synthesis just like it would anywhere else. But it's also increasing fluid retention which can give a subtly more thicker and solid facial appearance over time, especially when combined with overall increase in lean mass and subcutaneous fluid. Now, these changes may be semi-permanent, but when you remove androgens, a lot of that developed tissue in bone mineral density, ligament, and collagen development is going to stick with you for the majority of your life. And then you notice that a lot of bodybuilders in general, this is not just females, but this is generally bodybuilders, they have like this rough skin texture. They age their skin. They look older. The reason for that is several, but basically SIBOtes express and receptors as well. And when androgens activate those basically you're upregulating genes involved in lipogenesis and differentiation. What this means is that you have changes in fat patterning within your face and that can make a person have like thinner looking skin which does appear to be more aged just from a standard of general attraction.

[00:09:50]But also chronic androgen exposure expresses and also influences dermal matrix metabolism. And again, this is a fancy word for a relatively simple process, but essentially this means collagen turnover. And and what that really does is results in sometimes thicker skin in certain areas and thinner skin in other areas and alters the quality of your skin because you're turning over more cells. You often result in older looking skin. The cell life cycle shortens dramatically and becomes aged much quicker. That is kind of what represents the signs of aging.

[00:10:23]There's also a lot more interplay into this like inflammation from the use of steroids. And this is multiffactoral. So that's not necessarily all that's going on. It's it's very multiffactorial with like skin aging and general aging of a person's biology. But essentially inflammation is a really big part of it too where you have cells that are chronically inflamed. They struggle to reoccur as efficiently as they should and essentially prematurely age. And this is why skin does look well-aged after being exposed to androgens for a certain amount of years. You accelerate aging. I mean, I think the trend twins are a great display of this. Like 5 years ago, they look like absolute studs. And now, like, especially Manic Mike looks old as [ __ ] Like, he looks like he's aged 20 years in just 5 years.

[00:11:09]And I I can't stress this enough cuz it's so important, but a lot of this is completely irreversible, especially on the female side of things.

[00:11:18]Once you've gone down that path, again, the sunken cost fallacy starts to arise because a lot of these side effects won't go away. They won't go away no matter what you do. And so, it's like, okay, well, do I just keep going down this path in because what else do I have to lose? I mean, I'm stuck with this stuff for the rest of my life. Anyway, I cut it. Do I just keep going? And most people do choose that option because it's such a niche that they're tied into so tightly that getting out of it seems nearly impossible and staying in it seems way more comfortable and easy. So they just perpetually stay in it for 10, 15, 20 years. And this isn't to say that she's not happy because she may very well be a very happy person, content with her lifestyle, overwhelmingly joyed with what opportunities that she's been giving from bodybuilding. And fair enough, like I think that is perfectly fine and I believe in bodily freedom if she's genuinely happy with this. Yeah, dude. Like that, you know, that is more than most people could ever say with their lives. But it is an interesting thing to kind of look at and say, "Wow, that's really what happens when I'm taking this Anavar pill. It's slowly maturating myself into that eventually after a certain amount of time." And I I think this is the one thing that there's like gap in knowledge here is girls will get on these androgens at very young ages even if it's just anavar and they'll say okay well this was fine you know an 8we cycle was fine I'll keep going later on in the future but they don't consider that these changes happen slowly over time they're very hidden almost right you don't necessarily express things until it's too far gone and once they are expressed you don't get it back it is a permanent change that will never revert back to the norm and unfortunately ely it's going to be something that you have to live with.

[00:12:54]And so that innocent little Annavar tablet that a girl may take or maybe doesn't even know she's taking because a coach just hands her some things which I hear all of the time especially in my comment section and says hey good luck merry golucky this is going to make you jacked and they're like [ __ ] cool I want glutes they start popping like they'reing PEZ dispenser and then they go crazy for 8 weeks I like this this is awesome I want to keep going so they don't respect the 8week timeline and they go for 12 weeks and then they go for 14 then they well I'll go to 16 and at 16 then it's just too late and they've already verilized themselves and now they're like [ __ ] what do I I guess I keep going. This is, you know, my conceptualization of the issue. It's probably not necessarily accurate, but I think in in large part it can be accurate and it is a situation that a lot of females find themselves in. So basically what I'm saying, if you're a female, there's so many better options.

[00:13:38]Don't blast steroids. Especially is like look, if you're a professional bodybuilder and you're doing this as a sport and a profession and this is what you want out of your life, I totally understand and I respect your decision.

[00:13:49]But there are wildly better options to get integrated into like a performance-enhancing related lifestyle without leaning on androgens right away.

[00:13:57]And I I don't think females respect that enough and understand that there is so much out there for them to explore before using viralizing compounds, male hormones nonetheless. I mean, you're literally taking a male hormone to enhance your physique. And and there's several other options that are not male hormones that won't vilize you that can create similar effects. It's just a matter of compound selection, understanding pharmaccoinetics and dynamics, and how these things work in the human body, specifically a female's body. But if you enjoyed today's video, let me know. Give me a like, comment down below, tell me I'm an idiot. You know what? Fair enough. And if if you do enjoy this video and you want to support the channel, there's a lot of great sponsors down below. Genuinely, we have some of the best and coolest people behind the scenes on this channel.

[00:14:37]Anabolic Insights is a great place to get your lab work for really, really cheap and then have it interpreted for you. It's like honestly, hands down, and I say this every time, but truly, I mean, it is one of the best services I've ever seen to purchase lab work and make it easy to understand for the layman and it is wildly effective and efficient.
