  1. 0:00If you're looking to raise your
  2. 0:00testosterone in 2026, TRT is no longer
  3. 0:03the only option. The closest thing we
  4. 0:06ever had to rival TRT was incl. And I've
  5. 0:08had thousands of men ask me if it's
  6. 0:10actually the smarter move. After all,
  7. 0:12it's a pill. It's way [music] more
  8. 0:13convenient, but it doesn't shut your
  9. 0:15natural production down either. Maybe it
  10. 0:17keeps your fertility fully impacted. So,
  11. 0:19it has to be better than TRT, right? As
  12. 0:21someone who's been on testosterone for
  13. 0:22the last 10 years and helping thousands
  14. 0:25of clients optimize their hormones, I
  15. 0:27can tell you [music] this debate isn't
  16. 0:28nearly as close as it looks. So, in this
  17. 0:30video, I'm going to break down exactly
  18. 0:32what a chopen is, how it's actually used
  19. 0:34in the real world protocols, and how it
  20. 0:36truly stacks up against the king of the
  21. 0:38hill, testosterone. Now, before we dive
  22. 0:40in, everything on this channel is for
  23. 0:41education entertainment purposes only.
  24. 0:43I'm not a medical doctor, so if you're
  25. 0:45going to start any of these treatments,
  26. 0:46do it under medical supervision, a
  27. 0:48licensed medical professional. Now we
  28. 0:50got that out of the way, let's dive in.
  29. 0:52To know exactly how inclinine helps
  30. 0:54increase your testosterone, you must
  31. 0:55understand how your body produces
  32. 0:57testosterone naturally in the first
  33. 0:58place. Because your testicles, I know,
  34. 1:00are actually the last stop in this whole
  35. 1:02chain of command. And that chain
  36. 1:04actually starts all the way up in your
  37. 1:05brain at the HPT axis, the hypothalamus.
  38. 1:09This is sitting all the way up top right
  39. 1:10here. It's constantly monitoring your
  40. 1:12hormone levels like a thermostat. When
  41. 1:14it senses your testosterone and estrogen
  42. 1:16are running low, it releases G&RH. G&R
  43. 1:19is a signal which goes straight to your
  44. 1:21pituitary gland. Your pituitary gets
  45. 1:23that signal and responds by releasing
  46. 1:25two hormones. You probably ever gotten
  47. 1:27blood work done over. LH, FSH, ever hear
  48. 1:29of it? LH travels down your testes and
  49. 1:32tells your latic cells to produce
  50. 1:33testosterone. FSH works alongside
  51. 1:36testosterone inside the testicles to
  52. 1:38keep the sperm production going and
  53. 1:40going. So the real chain looks just like
  54. 1:42this. Your brain senses low hormones.
  55. 1:45Your hypothalamus fires the G&R. Boom.
  56. 1:47pituitary fires, LH, FSH, boom, boom.
  57. 1:50Your testes now respond to them by
  58. 1:53producing testosterone and maintaining
  59. 1:55the sperm production. The whole system
  60. 1:56runs on this whole feedback loop. And
  61. 1:58the second your brain sees enough
  62. 2:00testosterone, estrogen circulating,
  63. 2:02pumps the brakes. It's the same logic as
  64. 2:04a thermostat shutting off when the heat
  65. 2:06in the room hits the right temperature.
  66. 2:08This feedback loop is exactly why TRT
  67. 2:10and Clomophane create two completely
  68. 2:12different outcomes in your body. Even
  69. 2:14though both of them raise your
  70. 2:15testosterone on paper, one of them works
  71. 2:17with the natural feedback, the natural
  72. 2:19loop, and the other one turns it off
  73. 2:21completely. The first one basically
  74. 2:23works with your body's natural feedback
  75. 2:25loop, which is inclenine
  76. 2:30citrate. Now, you probably know it by
  77. 2:32its brand name everyone here is Clomid.
  78. 2:34Now, Clomid was synthesized all the way
  79. 2:36back in 1956,
  80. 2:38555, somewhere around there. Wasn't even
  81. 2:40made for men. It was developed as a
  82. 2:42fertility drug for women. So I always
  83. 2:43hear like I'm putting on a women's drug.
  84. 2:45No, the FDA approved this in 1967 to
  85. 2:48help induce ovulation. To this day,
  86. 2:50that's still the only thing Clomid was
  87. 2:52actually FDA approved for. Clomid is
  88. 2:54actually a mix of two different
  89. 2:55isomeirs. Uh zucophene, which is the
  90. 2:57estrogenic half, and the other half is
  91. 3:00called uh inclin. Yeah, inclinestrogen
  92. 3:04half-life or a half of the drug. It's
  93. 3:05the one blocking those receptors and
  94. 3:08driving the LH and FSH to increase.
  95. 3:10Eventually, a company isolated pure
  96. 3:13enlomophene on its own and they tried to
  97. 3:15bring it to the market under the name
  98. 3:16Androxil. The trials look good on paper.
  99. 3:19It raised testosterone. It kept LHFSH in
  100. 3:22check, sperm production in check. But in
  101. 3:242015, the FDA, they rejected it because
  102. 3:27nobody could prove that raising the
  103. 3:29number actually made guys feel better.
  104. 3:30Now, inclane has never been approved as
  105. 3:32its own isolated drug. So, how is a drug
  106. 3:35that actually failed suddenly
  107. 3:37everywhere? [music]
  108. 3:38Two words, supply economics. When Clomid
  109. 3:41ran into supply shortages, prescribers
  110. 3:43pivoted right away and started
  111. 3:45compounding pure enclomophene
  112. 3:46immediately. And that's when the tele
  113. 3:48health companies noticed that
  114. 3:49enlomophene isn't a controlled
  115. 3:50substance. Testosterone [music] is,
  116. 3:52which means a tellahalth company can
  117. 3:54mail to a man in all 50 states almost
  118. 3:57none of the friction that comes with
  119. 3:59prescribing TRT. So, of course, it
  120. 4:01exploded. Not because it's the better
  121. 4:03tool for the [music] job, it's the
  122. 4:05easier one to prescribe. So, how does a
  123. 4:07clophen actually raise your tea levels?
  124. 4:08It goes straight to the top of the
  125. 4:10chain. Hypothalammus and pituitary.
  126. 4:12Remember that thermostat we talked about
  127. 4:13earlier with the that one constantly
  128. 4:16scanning your bloodstream
  129. 4:18for estrogen? So, it knows whether or
  130. 4:19not to keep producing or pump the
  131. 4:21brakes. And cholophene goes in and
  132. 4:23blocks the estrogen receptors sitting
  133. 4:25[music] at the thermostat. So, even
  134. 4:26though your estrogen is still
  135. 4:28circulating completely normal in your
  136. 4:29body, your brain can no longer see it.
  137. 4:32Now, as far as your hypothalamus goes,
  138. 4:34the room just went ice cold. Uh-oh. You
  139. 4:36know what that means, right? And a cold
  140. 4:38room means one thing. Turn up the heat,
  141. 4:40baby. So your hypothalammus panics a
  142. 4:42little bit and fires off more G and
  143. 4:44Rhoop,
  144. 4:46a lot more than normally would. And more
  145. 4:48G&RH means your pituitary responds by
  146. 4:51pumping out more LH and FSH. LH tells
  147. 4:54your latic cells to produce more
  148. 4:55testosterone. The FSH is going to keep
  149. 4:57your sperm production going all night
  150. 4:59long and the entire system is going to
  151. 5:01speed up now. So your body is still
  152. 5:03doing all the work and codophene is just
  153. 5:06convincing your brain that [music] it
  154. 5:08needs to work more and harder. That's
  155. 5:10exactly why guys chasing fertility or
  156. 5:13guys who aren't ready to use like TRT
  157. 5:14fully commit to that lifelong therapy,
  158. 5:16you know, they get pulled like a magnet
  159. 5:18towards this option. So if you're
  160. 5:19looking to test in Clomophane, this is
  161. 5:22the protocol I would definitely suggest
  162. 5:23that works for a lot of my clients. You
  163. 5:25want to start at 25 milligrams two to
  164. 5:28three times a week. [music] I mean
  165. 5:29that's great. Then you're going to
  166. 5:31assess your results after 45 to 60 days.
  167. 5:34On paper, this sounds like the smarter
  168. 5:35move. You start to raise your
  169. 5:37testosterone without shutting it down
  170. 5:38and that system that's actually
  171. 5:40controlling it and working it. But if
  172. 5:42reviving your engine harder was the
  173. 5:44superior right move, why does all the
  174. 5:47other side of this debate [music] exist
  175. 5:49at all? Then that's where testosterone
  176. 5:50comes in and it plays a completely
  177. 5:53different game. TRT is not going to ask
  178. 5:55for permission at all. It skips the
  179. 5:57entire chain that we just talked about
  180. 5:59and goes directly to the [music] end of
  181. 6:01the road, the finish line, whatever you
  182. 6:03want to call it. Extra testosterone
  183. 6:04injected straight into your bloodstream.
  184. 6:06It's there immediately at whatever level
  185. 6:08your protocol is dosed for or based on.
  186. 6:10Remember that thermostat before the
  187. 6:12enclomophane tricked into thinking that
  188. 6:14the room was actually cold? TRT does the
  189. 6:16exact opposite. Your brain sees
  190. 6:19testosterone flooding in to your
  191. 6:20bloodstream. As far as concerned, the
  192. 6:22room is [music] plenty warm. There's no
  193. 6:24reason to ask for more now. So, your
  194. 6:26hypothalammus stops firing G&RH. Your
  195. 6:28pituitary stops firing LH and FSH. And
  196. 6:31your testes get the signal to power
  197. 6:33down. Turn [music] right off, boys.
  198. 6:35Because the body doesn't waste energy on
  199. 6:36manufacturing something that's already
  200. 6:38getting [music] handed. This is why TRT
  201. 6:40by itself will shrink your testes and
  202. 6:42tank your natural sperm production over
  203. 6:44time, not immediately at all. Takes a
  204. 6:47long time to do that, if it ever
  205. 6:48happens, because your body has been told
  206. 6:50to clock [music] out and someone else is
  207. 6:52taking over. baby. And this the exact
  208. 6:54fork in the road that separates these
  209. 6:56two compounds. And once you understand
  210. 6:57that distinction, the entire which one
  211. 7:00is better, this whole debate stops. It
  212. 7:02stops being about which one actually
  213. 7:04raises your testosterone number because
  214. 7:05they both do that. What matters is which
  215. 7:08one actually delivers the final result
  216. 7:09that you want for performance. Is it
  217. 7:12body composition? Well, and how do you
  218. 7:14feel about taking testosterone? So,
  219. 7:15here's the problem that we have in
  220. 7:16chopene. Because here's what I've seen
  221. 7:18over the last 10 years on testosterone
  222. 7:20and helping thousands of clients with
  223. 7:23theirs. Remember, I was using
  224. 7:24testosterone all throughout my
  225. 7:25bodybuilding career since I was 15 16
  226. 7:28years old. And Clomophane moves your
  227. 7:30testosterone number on your labs on that
  228. 7:32piece of paper. But raising a number on
  229. 7:33a piece of paper, it's not the same. And
  230. 7:35actually feeling like a different man on
  231. 7:37those numbers is completely [music]
  232. 7:39different. The symptoms data on the
  233. 7:40enclophine is so weak. Clients report
  234. 7:43that they're told this climbs into an
  235. 7:44amazing range. Then they tell me that
  236. 7:46they [music] feel nothing or at best a
  237. 7:49little bit better, but they really don't
  238. 7:50know. The reason is that your body still
  239. 7:52relies on your own natural production to
  240. 7:54work with that number and carry that
  241. 7:56number. Which means every single
  242. 7:57variable that was tank your testosterone
  243. 8:00in the first place is still fully there.
  244. 8:02The stress, the no sleep, the diet, the
  245. 8:04training, none of that gets fixed just
  246. 8:06because you tricked your brain into
  247. 8:07producing more. [music] TRT doesn't have
  248. 8:10that problem. It bypasses all that and
  249. 8:12your dose isn't at the mercy of how well
  250. 8:15you slept last night or how well you ate
  251. 8:17yesterday. The second problem is the
  252. 8:19results from Mclomophene are not
  253. 8:21consistent from one guy to another. Two
  254. 8:23guys can walk into that room right now,
  255. 8:26get prescribed, have two identical labs,
  256. 8:29run the same exact dose of enlomophene,
  257. 8:31and one of them is going to feel
  258. 8:33incredible while the other one feels
  259. 8:35absolutely nothing. Now, some of that
  260. 8:37comes down to how your liver actually
  261. 8:38metabolizes it, which means you can't
  262. 8:40generally predict how your body is going
  263. 8:42to actually respond to you already spent
  264. 8:44months on this medication. TRT doesn't
  265. 8:47gamble like that with you. You dial in
  266. 8:48your dose and the results are reliable
  267. 8:5010 out of 10 times. The third problem is
  268. 8:53this one barely ever gets talked about
  269. 8:54and Clomophane has been shown to drop
  270. 8:57your IGF-1 levels in a very meaningful
  271. 8:59way. If your entire reason for chasing
  272. 9:01more testosterone is to build muscle and
  273. 9:03recover faster, tanking the hormone,
  274. 9:05well the downstream of this hormone of
  275. 9:07growth hormone, not a very smart move.
  276. 9:09And on top of that, and was never built
  277. 9:11or designed for the guy who was chasing
  278. 9:13performance. It was designed to protect
  279. 9:15fertility and make your labs look
  280. 9:17incredible. It is not going to help you
  281. 9:19build more muscle. It is not going to
  282. 9:20help you drop more body fat. It is not
  283. 9:22going to make you feel like the
  284. 9:23anti-aging effects are happening like
  285. 9:26you do on synthetic testosterone. So
  286. 9:28when you line up all these things, the
  287. 9:29inconsistent results, the weak symptom
  288. 9:31improvement, the no performance upside,
  289. 9:33possible IGF-1 getting hit, and zero
  290. 9:35long-term safety data against TRT, which
  291. 9:38bypasses every one of those variables
  292. 9:40and delivers an actual predictable,
  293. 9:42reliable result every single time, there
  294. 9:45is no version of this where include.
  295. 9:49TRT is still and will be the king of the
  296. 9:54hill. So now you know why there is no
  297. 9:56discussion about whether or not TRT is a
  298. 9:58better option. Let's talk about how you
  299. 10:00actually start. Because two objections
  300. 10:02always come up before a guy even starts
  301. 10:04TRT. The first one is always about
  302. 10:06fertility. If you start TRT and do
  303. 10:09nothing else, yes, [music] your natural
  304. 10:11production will shut down. Eventually,
  305. 10:13your sperm count will eventually drop
  306. 10:15with it. But that's not the full story
  307. 10:18though, because that's not how you
  308. 10:19properly run TRT and how the protocol
  309. 10:22should look like. If fertility matters
  310. 10:23to you, you pair TRT, your testosterone,
  311. 10:27with HCG because hGG mimics LH, which
  312. 10:31means it keeps knocking on your testes
  313. 10:33to [music] keep them turned on and keep
  314. 10:35your brain on to communicating with
  315. 10:37them. So, it keeps the signal on. Your
  316. 10:39testes have to stay active. So, the size
  317. 10:41needs to stay intact and your fertility
  318. 10:43is going to stay protected the entire
  319. 10:45time you're on testosterone. Any doctor
  320. 10:47that actually knows what he's doing in
  321. 10:49this space does [music] this for their
  322. 10:50patients day one. Now there are other
  323. 10:52options like HMG, FSH, Kiss Peptin,
  324. 10:55Gonarellin. Now there's also a lot of
  325. 10:57other lifestyle factors that determine
  326. 10:59how much of your fertility is going to
  327. 11:00take a hit. The guys who lose their
  328. 11:02fertility on TRT are the guys just
  329. 11:04[music] running it blindfolded. They're
  330. 11:06not running it with hCG. They're running
  331. 11:08it with no hg, [music] no blood work,
  332. 11:10and no one's there to help them. And
  333. 11:12even then, it takes a long time for you
  334. 11:14to run testosterone to completely shut
  335. 11:17down your fertility. I'm going to say it
  336. 11:18again. It takes a long time, if ever.
  337. 11:21But I've had hundreds, probably
  338. 11:23thousands at this point, clients
  339. 11:25restored their fertility and be able to
  340. 11:26conceive children. Even when it was
  341. 11:28zero, for months, I got them to be able
  342. 11:30to have kids. Even after full-blown
  343. 11:32steroid cycles or even on steroid
  344. 11:34cycles, you guys have no idea. It's
  345. 11:36going to be fine if you do this the
  346. 11:37right way. If you want the full protocol
  347. 11:39that I use to restore fertility, watch
  348. 11:41this video right here. It's absolutely
  349. 11:42amazing. You're going to learn so much
  350. 11:44about it. So, fertility isn't a reason
  351. 11:46to avoid TRT. Let's talk about the
  352. 11:48reason to make sure you're working with
  353. 11:49someone who actually knows what they're
  354. 11:51doing. Now, let's talk about the second
  355. 11:53objection, the stigma. Now, somewhere
  356. 11:55along the way, our society decided that
  357. 11:57a man optimized testosterone is the
  358. 11:59wrong move. You're the bad guy. But a
  359. 12:01guy walking around exhausted with man
  360. 12:03[music] boobs with no libido and
  361. 12:05drinking alcohol every weekend. Oh, that
  362. 12:07guy's just getting older. [music] And
  363. 12:08it's totally normal for our society
  364. 12:11here. Meanwhile, you've got A-list
  365. 12:13celebrities who are completely open
  366. 12:14about being on TRT. [music] They're all
  367. 12:16showing up jacked and leaner in their
  368. 12:1850s and no one cares. But the second the
  369. 12:20average guy says he's not on it, TRT.
  370. 12:22[music]
  371. 12:23Suddenly he's cheating. Cheating at
  372. 12:25what? What is he cheating at exactly?
  373. 12:27Because life is not a drug tested sport.
  374. 12:29There is no judge handing out medals for
  375. 12:32guys staying [music] natural. Nobody's
  376. 12:34checking your labs where they decide
