[00:00:00]62-year-old gentleman asked, "I'm on testosterone, do I need an aromatase inhibitor that my clinic is giving me?" Wow, this is an old-school basic question. Can't get enough of these.

[00:00:16]The answer is no. You don't need You don't need that aromatase inhibitor. Be very careful with that. I think the word's getting out there more, but still these clinics are notorious for giving the AI and you're just giving the cookie-cutter McDonald's approach. Don't do it. Take the lowest form dose, excuse me, the effective dose of testosterone that you're on. I don't have any of the information here, sir. I'd like to I need that information.

[00:00:42]My testosteronologist here, working for the Testosteronology Society, need as much information as you can give us on the intake form to answer your questions.

[00:00:52]So, you you you want to You want to enjoy the aromatization of testosterone, but definitely not to crush it. But, I think aromatase inhibitors are very dangerous and there should be used almost exclusively only for a limited number of patients that's really dosed down and is microdosed and done the best they can with diet, weight loss, because that's important, and then they're using sparing doses and taking breaks on using the aromatase inhibitors.
