James Smith PT has revealed his before and after testosterone therapy pictures, and he’s looking shredded.
The ever-honest influencer recently dropped a YouTube video, jokingly outing himself as a “fake natty” after starting a course of testosterone replacement therapy (TRT).
Smith, who owns multiple businesses, including an online coaching platform and the drinks brand Neutonic, said fans might have noticed a change in his physique over the past year.

Explaining the transformation, he said: “I’ve started taking testosterone. All those years of attacking people for being fake natties, and, well, you either die the hero or you live long enough to become the villain.”
Smith discovered he had low testosterone in early 2023, with symptoms including a low libido and fatigue.
“Yeah, it was pretty low,” he added. “I’m 35, I blasted steroids when I was younger, and I’m chronically in a state of overtraining.
“I do Brazilian jiu-jitsu five to six times a week, I try to balance weight training on top, I have a young child, and I’m always kind of stressed.

“So, I had two choices: meditate, work less, and train less in the peak of my jiu-jitsu career, or take testosterone. It was a bit of a no-brainer.
“Now, this is through a doctor’s prescription. I’ve had my blood work done once a month since, and over the next few weeks and months, I’m going to be talking to you about how my cholesterol and composition improved before and after testosterone therapy.”
Smith, who has cultivated a huge following for his straightforward approach, said he wants to use his channel to help educate people about TRT, and even encourage some to get their blood work done.
Speaking on his before and after testosterone therapy revelations, he added: “I’m a little bit stronger, nothing amazing. I do recover better, but not quite like when you’re blasting huge amounts when you were younger.
“But all in all, my mood is phenomenally better. I don’t play video games anymore, I wake up in the morning ready to go at life. And probably the best thing for me wasn’t even any compositional changes, it was the fact I got my libido back.
“About a year ago, I was joking with my friends, telling them that I was worried I was gay—that’s how bad it was.”
Of course, it wouldn’t be a James Smith PT video without some of that classic no-holds-barred charm. Addressing the fake natty claims, he said: “So many people try and make their TRT coming-out videos super flipping emotional—that’s not what this is about. It’s about transparency, I’m an honest guy.
“I’ve been an open book my whole career, so I don’t see why it should change now. I’d like to think the majority of you are happy for me because I’m feeling better.
“For the minority of you that aren’t, well, as per usual, you can go f**k yourselves.”
