    Here’s what you’ll learn:

    🔬 How steroids impact your HPTA axis and testosterone production

    💉 Why blood tests (before, during, and after) are non-negotiable

    ❤️‍🩹 How steroids spike blood pressure — and how to control it using angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) like Telmisartan

    ⚠️ Side effects of both estrogen & androgens

    🧠 Mental health crashes & hormonal imbalance

    🧪 Key lab tests to monitor your internal health

    🛡️ The right way to approach Post Cycle Therapy (PCT)

    I break down:

    🔸 What causes gynecomastia on a hormonal level

    🔸 Role of aromatase enzyme in estrogen conversion

    🔸 How aromatase inhibitors may help

    🔸 Dangerous side effects of unbalanced hormones

    🔸 How to prevent or manage it naturally

  • INSANE Steroid Abuse in Bodybuilding | What They Don’t Tell You
    Jun 4 2025

    In this episode of Plates Over Dates, we pull back the curtain on the extreme world of professional bodybuilding—where pushing biological limits with anabolic steroids, insulin, and HGH isn’t just common, it’s mandatory. Using real-world case studies and peer-reviewed research, we break down exactly how these compounds hijack muscle protein synthesis, disrupt endocrine signaling, and accelerate cardiovascular strain. From catastrophic cardiomyopathies to irreversible hormonal imbalances, you’ll discover the hidden physiology behind the “perfect” physique and why, for many athletes, the cost to their health outweighs the trophy.


    By examining the biochemistry of growth hormone cascades, insulin sensitization protocols, and androgen receptor saturation, we expose why short-term gains often translate into long-term damage. This isn’t sensationalist gossip—it’s a deep dive into the molecular mechanisms that drive muscle hypertrophy at the expense of liver toxicity, arrhythmias, and neuroendocrine collapse. If you’ve ever wondered how “insane” steroid protocols become normalized in competitive gyms, or why so many elite bodybuilders pay the ultimate price, this episode is your wake-up call.


    Key Topics Covered:

    • Anabolic steroid pharmacodynamics and receptor saturation

    • Insulin and IGF-1 misuses: accelerated hypertrophy vs. metabolic catastrophe

    • Growth hormone abuse: lipolysis trade-offs and cardiovascular consequences

    • Real case studies: autopsies, cardiomyopathies, and premature deaths in bodybuilding

    • Evidence-based harm-reduction strategies for athletes considering performance-enhancing drugs


    Press play to see exactly what these compounds do at a cellular level—and why no amount of muscle mass is worth risking your brain, heart, and hormone balance.
