EFR 706: One Year of Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) and Why I am Stopping
00:00:00
00:00:00
Chase here! In this solo episode, I’m breaking down why I started testosterone replacement therapy a year ago. I share my results almost 15 months later and why I’ve decided to stop.
If you’ve followed my TRT journey on social media, you’ve seen my dosages, you’ve seen how I’ve changed physically, and you’ve seen how my numbers have gone up at the gym. But there’s a lot that I haven’t shared yet. I haven’t shared how I’ve administered my dosages, nor the side effects I’ve experienced.
Listen in as I come clean about my testosterone replacement therapy journey, from why I started in the first place, to specifics regarding my labs and personal regimen, and why my journey is coming to an end.
Key Highlights
I was determined to enter my 37th birthday in October 2022 as the best me possible. I didn’t just want to look at my best. I wanted to feel at my best. I was no slouch at 36. I was doing great physically, and I felt it. But I knew there was room for fine-tuning. I became more regimented, both inside and outside the gym, but being in my mid-30s, I began to struggle with keeping up that level of motivation. Not to mention it was tough to maintain my body composition despite my increased efforts. This was why I decided to explore TRT to provide that edge.
If you’re considering TRT, the very first thing you should do is check in with yourself. Do a head-to-toe scan and be as objective as you can, and even a little critical, about what you see and feel. Get clear on what you want out of your day and out of your training. Compare those ideals with your current day-to-day realities. Always keep in mind that TRT is not a quick fix—not that you should ever pursue anything because it’s a quick fix anyway!
I ultimately decided to stop testosterone replacement therapy for two reasons. The first was that I experienced skin issues that slightly impacted my social life. Secondly, even though TRT did not negatively impact my sexual activity, I’ve recently decided to prioritize my fertility health over my muscle mass. These two reasons are why, after 14 months, I’ve begun to titrate down and eventually go off TRT completely.
Powerful Quotes
Do not pursue anything in life that is going to be a quick fix.
Living a life ever forward is choosing the hard right over the easy wrong.
If I’m begrudgingly going into any task, I’m stressed and my cortisol is elevated. When you keep cortisol elevated chronically, it’s a slippery slope to a lot of bad things.

What contributes more to happiness - personal evolution or professional evolution?
Research shows that both personal and professional growth are crucial for overall well-being, but in different ways. Personal evolution focuses on our inner development, such as improving our relationships, finding our purpose, and developing self-awareness. Professional evolution, on the other hand, centers around career advancement and financial stability.
We welcome back Cody McBroom, a coach specializing in fitness and nutrition, and he believes that personal evolution is the key to unlocking true happiness. He stresses that working on our inner selves, such as setting goals that align with our values and working on our emotional intelligence, can have a profound impact on our overall satisfaction with life.
Speaking of emotional intelligence, Cody emphasizes the importance of listening to our feelings when it comes to our health and fitness goals. He believes that our bodies are intelligent and can provide us with important information about what we need. For instance, if we're feeling tired, it may be a sign that we need more rest rather than pushing ourselves through another workout.
However, Cody also acknowledges that sometimes we need to push through our feelings in order to make progress. This is particularly true when it comes to sticking to a healthy meal plan or exercise routine. He encourages his clients to develop self-discipline and commit to their goals even when it feels tough.
But what about after we've reached our goals? Cody's approach to coaching people through maintenance involves finding a sustainable balance between healthy habits and indulgences. He emphasizes the importance of enjoying the journey and finding ways to make healthy living enjoyable rather than a chore.
One way to optimize our health and fitness is by focusing on our hormones. Cody highlights the connection between hormones, sleep, and body composition. He suggests prioritizing sleep and reducing stress levels to optimize hormonal balance and achieve our desired body composition.
Finally, Cody shares his candid opinion on body positivity. While he believes in promoting self-love and body acceptance, he also acknowledges that there is a fine line between body positivity and encouraging unhealthy habits. He encourages his clients to focus on making healthy choices that make them feel good, rather than solely striving for a certain aesthetic.

Powerful Quotes by Cody McBroom
If you can work through your own pain in your story, you’re able to help somebody else work through theirs and their story.
I’ll never be satisfied, but I am constantly fulfilled.
What you’re doing in maintenance is going to serve your next physical goal and that’s really important.
There’s a reason why working really hard has a very strong dopamine response afterwards and if you just get handed that result, it doesn’t have that same dopamine response. It’s the work you put in to get that that matters.

EFR 704: How I Remove Limiting Beliefs, Live Intentionally, Set Boundaries & Stay Committed to Myself
00:00:00
00:00:00
From a recent conversation with Eli Weinstein, in this episode I share my decades-long journey to discovering and embracing the real Chase Chewning! It’s a journey that reached its critical point when I turned 35 during the COVID outbreak in 2020.
Like everyone else, my world was flipped on its head, and I’d started questioning deep-seated beliefs I’d held all my life. My goal? To rid myself of the beliefs that didn’t serve me and replace them with beliefs that do.
The one question that I always asked myself, whether or not I was conscious of it, was:
“Do I feel safe?” And ultimately, that boiled down to yet another question: “Am I loved?”
And if I felt no safety or love at any moment—in holding onto a given belief, in interacting with a certain individual, in inhabiting a particular room—then I gained the clarity and the courage to climb over those walls that kept me in and found my freedom.
Eli and I give our thoughts on the process of living an intentional life with a full commitment to oneself, from setting healthy boundaries, to avoiding a life lived in fear of other people’s opinions, to the true meaning of living life ever forward.
Follow me on Instagram @chase_chewning
Follow me on TikTok @chase_chewning
Key Highlights
We take a lot of our beliefs for granted, mainly because we lived our whole lives up to this point assuming they were fundamental “truths”. But if we really sit down and think about those beliefs, we can determine which of them serve us and which of them are nothing more than destructive forces that impede our growth.
When we find ourselves needing to walk away from someone in our life who no longer supports our mental or emotional health, we need to fall back on our boundaries. It’s easier said than done to create strong, healthy boundaries, but we need them in order to stay in a constant state of safety, security, and love.
We fall into selfishness when we rely on others to dictate our moral compass. This can be as serious as having our values shaped by other people or as insignificant as wearing certain clothes to avoid being judged in a certain way by those around us.
Living life “ever forward” comes down to sharing lessons learned from significant, often difficult, life experiences with others, whether through conversations or creating content or even monetizing those lessons through a product.
Powerful Quotes
There’s something extremely dynamic and extremely radical about shifting—rebuilding your entire belief system and framework for who you are and what you want to do.
One of my core values is integrity: doing whatever I deem to be right whether I’m in the presence of others or in the presence of myself.
How much more powerful are our human experiences when we connect with another person who just gets us?

99% of what I do on a day-to-day basis wasn’t even invented when I graduated dental school. If I stopped learning, I’d be a dinosaur.
You can really eat whatever you want… it’s just a matter of cleaning your teeth. The worst thing you can do for your teeth - well, there’s a few things - is something like a breath mint with sugar in it that you’re sucking all day long.
You have to really work hard to get to the successful place and then you have to work even harder to stay there.

Humble the Poet goes deep about all things self-love, romantic love, overcoming societal pressures, and the true value of self-awareness and vulnerability. He highlights a few concepts from his new book, “How to Be Love(d): Simple Truths for Going Easier on Yourself, Embracing Imperfection, & Loving Your Way to a Better Life”.
Let’s humbly admit that we all want a better, easier life, and we all want love. We all want to love and be loved… but what stops us from experiencing that and how can we create more pathways for love to enter our lives? That’s what we’re exploring in this episode.
Humble the Poet (Kanwer Mahl) is a Canadian-born artist, rapper, spoken-word poet, international best-selling author, and former elementary school teacher with a wildly popular blog with over 100,000 monthly readers. He is the author of “Unlearn”, “Things No One Else Can Teach Us”, and most recently, “How to Be Love(d)”.\

Key Highlights
Humble the Poet sheds light on his upbringing as a child of immigrants, from the fomo of celebrating holidays to the subtle awards for Americanizing yourself.
What is society? What is society trying to pressure you to do? When you reflect on that, you begin to see the distinction between reward and punishment, needs and wants, truth and falsehoods.
Why is it so hard to find love or to keep love? If you find yourself thinking that in a relationship, ask yourself: is this actually love? Love should not be demanding anything of you, other than honesty and presence.
Humble shares the meaning behind his quote: “Love is the breeze, the work that we have to do is to open the sail.”
Vulnerability is the key that unlocks love in all forms. If you don’t have love in your life, maybe your sail is just closed. How is vulnerability different than honesty? Tune in to hear Humble’s answer!
Humble describes why we should abandon the concept of good and bad.
We’re more in control of our relationship with ourselves. If we were kinder on ourselves, it’d be easier to be kinder to others.
One of the biggest mistakes we make with love is measuring its value through a timeline. Love doesn’t have a timeline. To Humble, it’s all about creating pathways of love.
Powerful Quotes by Humble the Poet
A lot of the things that are preventing us from realizing love are needs to be accepted by our community, our population, our society.
I had built so many layers of protection. I had built a fortress to protect myself from the world and from getting hurt… that I didn’t realize that that fortress was really a prison.
Go easy on yourself because everything that is around you wants you to go in the opposite direction.
If I were able to encourage a religion on anybody, it would be the religion of self-awareness.
What really disturbs our peace is avoiding the pain.

Key Highlights
What is hypnotherapy? Hypnotherapy is a therapeutic practice that uses guided hypnosis to help a client reach a transcendent-like state of focus, concentration, diminished peripheral awareness, and heightened suggestability.
Sam explains how hypnotherapy and sensory-based focus can be used in therapeutic processes to reconstruct our internal experience.
He notes the similarities and differences between hypnotherapy, meditation, and mindfulness.
The world is so stimulating that many of us have realized we’re not as relaxed as we think we are. That’s why people feel loopy and out of it after their first hypnotherapy session - it’s because they’re actually relaxed and they’ve forgotten what that feels like. Once you build that awareness, you can begin cultivating more of that in your life.
Sam describes how creating deep change isn’t harder than creating simple change… it just requires a different set of skills.
Resilience is one of the best skills you can develop to create change, maintain momentum, and accomplish your goals.
People are using hypnotherapy to change the gut microbiome, improve gut health, and even heal IBS. How? Does hypnotherapy work just as well as the FODMAP diet? Tune in to find out!
Lastly, Sam highlights the benefits of hypnotherapy in treating chronic pain.
Powerful Quotes by Sam Visnic
I’d like to be able to call upon a lot of different states and resources rather than just being able to shut my mind off.
When you’re talking about working with and changing deeper things, technically, changing a deeper thing isn’t more hard or difficult than changing a simple thing, you just need to know how to make changes at that level.
When you see [a hypnotherapist] who is professional, who is ethical, the outcome is to do very much what we talked about today which is help you get from where you are to where you want to be and not do things to you so much as to pull forth and extract resources within you that can help teach you to access those resources on your own.

Meet the Zenchronicity Sisters, Nicole and Megan, as they shine light on the power of psychedelic medicine, soul work, and the dire need for a mental health revolution in America. Together, they break down the benefits of using psychedelics and how you can achieve the same mental health benefits without them.
Change is inevitable when we choose to work on ourselves. Whether it’s through mind work, body work, emotional work, or soul work, you’re never going to be the same person you went in as. Isn’t that such a freeing concept? If we dive into the soul and embrace the change that comes with it, we can go to places we’ve never even imagined.
Megan Michelena and Nicole Michelena, aka the Zenchronicity Sisters, are plant medicine practitioners and Certified Mental Health Experts specializing in psychedelic medicine. They also co-host The Zenchronicity Podcast and offer 1:1 and group coaching to people who want to maximize their personal and professional potential (with or without psychedelics).

Megan and Nicole share their perspectives on the current state of mental health in America. What are we doing well and what do we need to do differently?
They describe how psychedelics have changed their lives and improved their mental health as well as why they think the future is androgynous.
We focus so much on mental work and physical work that we often forget soul work. Listen in to learn how psychedelics can be used to do soul work.
Intention and integration are the keys to receiving and retaining the benefits of psychedelic experiences.
Should everybody do psychedelics? Who shouldn’t take psychedelics?
If you don’t immediately find meaning in your psychedelic experience, don’t try to force meaning. It may come to you days, weeks, or even months later.
“When you just surrender and let go, 99% of life shows up for you, and that’s integration.” Why is it so hard for us to surrender and let go? The answer lies in our divine masculine and feminine. Tune in to learn more!
Powerful Quotes by Zenchronicity Sisters
I was looking for a power greater than myself and I couldn’t find it and I was searching everywhere else than inside of me. In therapists’ offices, in boyfriends… what psychedelics have given me is that understanding of just how profound we all are and that we all have purpose and that we’re all here for a reason.
You’re accountable for everything in your life, starting with your thoughts.
The subconscious is like the heartbeat of the soul. That is where you get into the meaty part of learning who you are and you go a little bit deeper each time.
That’s what’s so powerful to us about integration is realizing that your thoughts and your feelings and your actions and the results of those actions all are the intention you have behind anything, whether it’s conscious or not conscious.
You have to know your darkness in order to know your light. They’re actually one in the same and your strength comes from your darkness.

I don’t phone it in with sex… because it’s too important to me that we connect that way.
Allowing the people you love to broaden your perspective for you is one of the most loving things you can do.

Mike speaks on how the patient’s relationship to therapy has evolved over the years and how he’s evolved as a therapist over the last 10+ years.
He describes how to use therapy and medication as a stepping stone to your next step of healing, instead of using it as a bandaid.
Why do people experience PTSD differently? It depends on oxytocin, genetics, and how you care for yourself.
By taking better care of our bodies, can we become more resilient to traumatic events? The short answer is yes, but tune in to hear Mike explain further.

Powerful Quotes by Dr. Mike Dow
People in therapy have lower markers in their blood of inflammation, so it actually has an effect on the body, which I think is really exciting.
You want to go straight to the part of the brain where the trauma is stored - so, internal family systems, EMDR, hypnosis, ketamine - to really heal that part of the brain.
It’s taking the supplements, it’s knowing the biology, but the psychology, the social aspect, is just as important as all those hacks.
If we can just have awe and wonder and curiosity and compassion for our experience… that’s life-changing.
