E. 79 PED Mistakes That Will Ruin Your Voice
Self-Selecting - A podcast by Cory Hageman - Mondays
In this episode of the Self Selecting Podcast, I break down the four biggest PED mistakes that can lead to permanent voice changes in female athletes. As someone who’s worked with a wide range of women—from first-time users to national-level competitors—I’ve seen firsthand how androgenic compounds can affect not just your physique but your identity. I explain how the vocal folds change, why those changes are not reversible, and what you can do to reduce your risk. I also highlight some common myths—like thinking low doses are always safe or that short cycles don’t matter—and share why lifetime exposure, compound choice, and dose escalation are critical variables every woman needs to understand. If you’re using or even considering using anabolic compounds, this is a must listen.Timestamps:- [00:00 – 03:36] - Intro: Why I’m passionate about PED education for women - [03:36 – 05:33] - Who this video is for & why voice changes matter more than you think - [05:33 – 09:15] - What actually happens to your vocal folds during androgen exposure - [09:15 – 12:40] - No going back: Irreversible voice changes explained - [12:40 – 13:34] - Women produce far less testosterone than men—why this matters - [13:34 – 14:01] - Not all PEDs come with virilization risks - [14:01 – 18:00] - Mistake #1: Using the wrong drug (Winstrol, NPP, poor sourcing) - [18:00 – 21:34] - Mistake #2: Using a “safe” drug but at too high of a dose - [21:34 – 24:21] - Mistake #3: Using any PED for too long—even at low doses - [24:21 – 28:25] - Using PEDs during prep: benefits, risks, and poor timing - [28:25 – 30:11] - Mistake #4: Compound hopping & chasing effects - [30:11 – 33:07] - No AAS is risk-free: Total lifetime androgen exposure - [33:07 – 36:25] - Tools for tracking changes: voice analyzer app, lab panels, breaks - [36:25 – 39:01] - FAQs: “Is there a 100% safe compound?” and “What about short cycles?” - [39:01 – 40:57] - Final thoughts: You only get one voice—don’t gamble with it Links & Resources:https://coryfit.com/Coaching: Let's Chathttps://calendly.com/coryfit-coaching/15minConsults: Book a Callhttps://calendly.com/coryfit-coaching/one-time-consultationFor more content, follow along:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cory_fit/Patreon: https://patreon.com/CoryFit?utm_medium=unknown&utm_source=join_link&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=copyLink
