Send us a text In this episode we break down one of the most underrated parts of TRT success: actually vibing with your clinic or doctor. If you don't feel heard.. if you feel rushed.. if your labs aren't being explained.. if the protocols feel copy and paste.. that's not normal. We talk about why the right clinic changes everything, your confidence, your progress, your results and your long term health. Your clinic should feel like a partnership, not a transaction.
