At Great Shot we highly recommend clients adding in a second injection with testosterone treatment. This injection is HCG or Human chorionic gonadotropin. One of the main reasons hCG is used in testosterone treatment is to preserve fertility. Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) can suppress natural testosterone production in the testes, leading to a decrease in sperm production and potential infertility. hCG works by mimicking the action of luteinizing hormone (LH), which stimulates the testes to produce testosterone and maintain sperm production. By incorporating hCG into TRT, it can help prevent or minimize the negative impact of TRT on fertility.

These medications imitate the effects of glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1), a hormone. When blood sugar levels rise post-meal, they prompt the body to increase insulin production, aiding in lowering blood sugar levels. While the mechanism behind GLP-1 drugs inducing weight loss remains unclear, they are known to suppress hunger and delay the passage of food from the stomach to the small intestine. Individuals may experience prolonged feelings of fullness leading to reduced food intake.
