What Long Term Steroid Use Really Does to Your Heart | C.G. Bronson

I've been using anabolic steroids for a long time, and after discovering plaque in my arteries, I've had to take a much closer look at what these drugs can do to the heart.In this episode of Mark Bell's Power Project, I'm joined by Dr. C.G. Bronson, an internal medicine physician who specializes in testosterone therapy, to discuss the cardiovascular risks of anabolic steroids, the differences between TRT and performance-enhancing doses, and why having good bloodwork doesn't necessarily mean your heart is healthy.We cover how steroids can accelerate plaque buildup and potentially damage the heart muscle, why a zero calcium score doesn't rule out dangerous plaque, and what people using anabolic steroids should understand about ApoB, LDL cholesterol, and blood pressure.We also get into the potential long-term consequences of steroid use, whether coming off can reverse the damage, the role of statins and other cholesterol-lowering medications, and why testosterone therapy can be particularly beneficial for certain men struggling with obesity and low testosterone.Other topics include GLP-1 medications, HCG, aromatase inhibitors, research peptides, and the misinformation circulating throughout the fitness and TRT communities.This isn't about demonizing testosterone. It's about understanding the risks, separating medical treatment from performance enhancement, and making better decisions about your long-term health.**Connect with Dr. C.G.
