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’...

Let’s hope RFK JR’s Leftnick deception unravels to reveal the true nature of what he is. I say he a student to his Leftnick Uncle Teddy. He has been thrown in as a back-up in case crime boss, Joe, falls like a house of cards. BTW the “Big Guy” WAS also mentored by Uncle Teddy.

What will be left of the DNC, in 2024, will be a pool of diarrhea on the election night floor.

You are correct....TRT is NOT a anabolic synthetic steroid like Anabol or Then etc. Its Hormone replacement treatment for men, just like estrogen is for women. Im on TRT and the only side effect for me is a hard on 3 or 4 times a day and im old too. I take baby aspirin once a day and my blood is fine. More men should consider getting it, even though most of our wives would disagree.

Yeah, but he’s challenging Biden, so that’s okay.

Taking testosterone under a doctor’s care includes getting regular blood tests.

The hematocrit levels are easily controlled.

The assertion is just baloney.

“If it’s doctor prescribed why is it anyone’s business?”

I’ll go a step further: if he’s a free man in a free country, why is it anyone’s business if he walks into a drug store (or any store for that matter) and buys testosterone if he wants to?

Not to even mention the drug cocktails they give Bidet* to be able to shuffle out and act aware.

What is in them and are they legal for anyone else to use?

You’ve been listening to far too many of Putin’s speeches.
The only reason Putin invaded Ukraine is the same reason he invaded Georgia and Crimea. He wants his empire back.

If he used legal meds legally prescribed, this is a snake’s
ploy to damage him.

If I were a supporter of his, I’d be glued to him after this.

Honestly, I couldn’t stand to listen to him for four years.
His voice and facial mannerisms are like a spell cast by a
witch that escaped from the land of Snow White.

Agree that this was fairly obvious once the gym photos were published, however, dietary considerations set aside, especially estrogenetic foods, progressive strength training in a gym will naturally boost a man’s testosterone naturally. It will never be at levels of a twenty year old, but will be efficient.

60 here and my levels are that of a 32 year old.
It can be done, but, for men,avoid foods which mimic estrogen.
Ladies, strength training will also help regulate you hormones

The clot shots killed millions of people worldwide, while the ‘roids’ have killed a few hundred maybe.

TRT means he is taking synthetic testosterone.

Synthetic testosterone = steroids.

Arnold took massive amounts of steroids...likely 500mg-1000mg per week or more. TRT calls for taking 100mg plus or minus.

I have a list of Republicans who pushed the jabs and haven’t admitted they were wrong or apologized yet from Mitch McConnell on down.

Exactly. I don’t care what people voluntarily take, for themselves, under a Doctor’s care
