Most men on TRT are handed aromatase inhibitors—and pay the price. In this episode, Dr. Ryan Hewitt breaks down why crushing estrogen backfires and what real optimization looks like. If you’re searching “TRT aromatase inhibitors,” watch this first.

What You’ll Learn / Highlights

• The real purpose of aromatase inhibitors (AI) like anastrozole/letrozole—and why they’re overprescribed

• Why estrogen is essential for male brain, joints, libido, cardiovascular health, and recovery

• How cookie-cutter dosing creates estrogen spikes (and symptoms) that get “fixed” with AIs

• The precision approach: lowest effective dose + higher injection frequency (micro-dosing)

• Lab strategy: tracking sensitive estradiol (E2) and key biomarkers on a schedule

• Lifestyle levers that reduce excess aromatization (body fat, sleep, training, inflammation)

• Red flags of low estrogen on TRT (joint pain, flat mood, ED) and how to course-correct
