EXCLUSIVE: RFK Jnr admits using 'legal steroid' to get buff at age 69: Doctors slam hypocrisy of presidential hopeful for using risky blood clot-inducing drug while espousing anti-vaxx views
Daily Mail ^ | 7/07/23 | Caitlin Tilley

Robert F. Kennedy Jnr has admitted for the first time that he uses testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) — which some doctors describe as 'legal steroids'.

The Democratic presidential hopeful admitted he is on an 'anti-aging' protocol prescribed by his doctor that includes TRT, a hormone treatment that can cause an increased risk of blood clots, heart attacks and strokes in some cases.

Mr Kennedy's admissions has led some to call him out for hypocrisy. His political career has been built on peddling hardline anti-vaxx views for years, including the claim that vaccines cause autism and kill more children than they protect.

Speculation about the 69-year-old's physique was rife last month when videos and photos of him looking buff and working out at the beach went viral.

Some doctors at the time suggested he may be using steroids due to the fact that he has made rapid physical gains at his age.

Mr Kennedy told the Lex Fridman podcast Thursday: 'I take a lot of vitamins, I can't even list them to you here because I couldn't even remember them all, but I take atone of vitamins and nutrients.

'I'm on an anti-aging protocol from my doctor that includes testosterone replacement.'

But immediately after his TRT admission, Mr Kennedy told Mr Fridman: 'But I don't take any steroids.'

'I don't take any anabolic steroids or anything like that and the TRT I use is bioidentical to what my body produced.'

TRT, also known as androgen replacement therapy, is used to treat low testosterone levels - but clinics have begun doling it out liberally in recent years due to the treatment's ability to boost muscle mass.

While advocates claim the jabs help men with low testosterone ‘regain their health, vitality and return to a fulfilling sex life’...

I don’t remember RFK mandating steroid injections for other people and 8 year-old kids, though. Or did I miss something?

Apples and oranges. RFK is taking a tested and studies drug at his choice.

His concern is with unstudied, , mandatory vaccinations.

Someone's really, really, really unnerved by RFK Jr entering the Democrat field. Somehow I don't think it's Trump.....

The Deep State Machine will do what it can to keep a robot in the big chair- which is a scary proposition for a Kennedy.

I have a great deal of distate for RFK Jr., but this is a stupid comparison, as others have pointed out.

There is a lot more to RFK, Jr. than his vaccination and border positions. Think gun grabber, psycho environmentalist, socialist, etc.

If RFK jr. wasn’t an anti-vaxxer, he would have little or no support on FR.

HRT in women isn't much different. My wife needs her estrogen at 60. She doesn't care what the medspurts have to say. She gets spooky and mean without it.

RFK should sail straight ahead at full speed. He's ok in my book. A little paranoid and crazy, but that means he's paying attention. He also retains exclusive rights to be paranoid of our government. More so than any of us.

He’s 69. He might suffer from low T. If it’s doctor prescribed why is it anyone’s business?

To use a well turned phrase- it’s his body. His choice

“’I’m on an anti-aging protocol from my doctor that includes testosterone replacement.’”

No problem at all.

Robert F. Kennedy Jnr has admitted for the first time that he uses testosterone replacement therapy (TRT)

"Admitted"? No, he "confirmed". Anyone who couldn't tell by his appearance was pretty clueless.

Why would he have support on FR? Most his positions are left.

But I think it's not specifically just his anti-vaxxer position, it's his general willingness to buck the establishment.

I have asked 3 Dr in the 55-65 year range in the last year if they do HRT/TRT the answer from all three was positive but they cycle it, meaning on a few months, off a few. And the same with supplements - like RFK. I have no idea about dosing.

I’ve always wondered about his weird physique. So now we know it’s all monkey glands…

I wouldn’t have voted for him any away since his only tolerable point was opposition to the vax. Otherwise, just another leftist Dem.
