One Year On Testosterone Replacement Therapy: What's Changed

In this episode, Eric Bach gives a full one-year update after starting TRT (testosterone replacement therapy). He breaks down the physical, mental, hormonal, and performance-related changes he experienced over the last 12 months — including improvements in recovery, sleep, energy, mood, body composition, and cardiovascular biomarkers. This episode also dives into the biggest misconceptions around TRT, why many clinics oversimplify hormone optimization, and why balancing recovery, stress, thyroid function, sleep, and lifestyle matters just as much as testosterone itself. Eric also shares: his current training structure recovery metrics deadlift goals conditioning approach nutrition simplification strategies and how he stays lean while balancing business, family, and performance.
