Testosterone is often associated with men and their libido and physique, but it’s actually an important hormone for everyone, including women. In this episode of More Plates More Dates, Derek discusses the things men need to consider when thinking about testosterone, burning fat and building muscle.

Derek’s Thoughts on Getting Jacked in 18 Months Being Natty
Derek shares his thoughts on what men should consider doing if they want to get jacked in 18 months being natty. He also talks about the importance of differentiating between being lazy and being defeated by unrealistic expectations. When it comes to physique, there’s often a lot of skewing of what people see as a good physique.
Derek emphasizes that most people don’t have the physique that is the peak of their genetic potential due to a lack of willpower and adherence to something consistently. For optimal health, people should prioritize other things over body composition.
Shawn Stevenson on Individualizing Your Health and Diet Goals
Shawn Stevenson, the best selling author of Eat Smarter, joins the episode to talk about your metabolic fingerprint and individualizing your health and diet goals in a practical way that works for you. Everyone’s metabolism is different, and it’s constantly changing and evolving.
People often know that they need to change what they’re eating, but they’re so far removed from understanding how powerful it is and what to do about it due to the cookie-cutter stuff. Shawn emphasizes that many diet frameworks, even though they can be wonderful, can also imprison you and leave things out that you may need.
Chronic nutrient deficiency leads to chronic overeating, which is why it’s essential to focus on a balanced diet that meets your nutritional needs.
Conclusion
In conclusion, TRT and any kind of hormonal therapy should be approached with caution and after lots of research. For men, optimizing testosterone levels is crucial for burning fat and building muscle, but it shouldn’t come at the cost of your overall health.
As Derek says, it’s essential to differentiate between being lazy and being defeated by unrealistic expectations of what’s achievable without drug enhancements. Instead of solely focusing on body composition, prioritize other things for optimal health.
On the other hand, Shawn Stevenson emphasizes the importance of individualizing your health and diet goals in a practical way that works for you. Everyone’s metabolism is different and continually evolving, so it’s crucial to focus on a balanced diet that meets your nutritional requirements.
So, whether you’re looking to optimize your testosterone levels or improve your overall health, consistently prioritizing sleep, diet, and exercise can make all the difference.

In reality it’s an important hormone for everyone, women included, but not many women are as concerned with TRT or testosterone replacement therapy like men are.
TRT and any kind of hormonal therapy is a big deal and should be approached with caution and lots of research. As a generally healthy male thinking about TRT, how much thought should you be giving to optimizing your testosterone levels over optimizing your physique for optimal health?
