I’d be interested to hear how people here feel about this.

I’ve been through the TRT journey myself, and I currently coach a number of people who are on clinician prescribed TRT. I also work with women around their menstrual cycles and menopause.

It’s made me consider focusing my coaching more on people navigating these stages of life.
The support would be around training, nutrition, body composition, sleep, recovery and building habits that work in real life, alongside their medical care.

I’d always assumed that people on TRT probably didn’t need much help with those areas, so I’m trying to find out whether there’s actually a need for it.
For those of you on TRT, would this kind of coaching be useful? What would you want help with, if anything?

Hi! I was wondering if you could offer some advice.
Our son has just turned 4. He’s always been a sweet, sensitive, polite little boy, but over the last few months his behaviour has changed completely.
Almost everything causes a meltdown now, from the colour of his bowl to putting socks on. He’ll either use a constant baby voice or end up in floods of tears. Mornings are the worst as he wakes around 5am and screams because he has to wait for his wake-up clock, which then wakes his younger sister. By the time he’s home from nursery he’s exhausted, and we get more meltdowns, screaming, anger, lashing out and saying hurtful things.
We’ve tried reward charts (a pasta jar), time-outs and ignoring the behaviour. Rewards don’t motivate him, consequences seem to make things worse, and ignoring eventually works but feels like there are no consequences. The other week I completely lost my patience and shouted, which I hated doing.
The thing I struggle to understand is he’ll whinge in a baby voice for ages, then instantly switch it off if he wants something. If we say no because of how he’s asking, the whole cycle starts again.
Does this sound like something you see a lot with 4-year-olds? I’d really appreciate any advice because we’re feeling a bit lost and just want to help him rather than make things worse.
