Founder & Moderator: Nelson Vergel

Nelson Vergel is a chemical engineer originally from Venezuela who, by his own necessity, has become a leading educator on hormone therapies and men’s health. His search for cutting-edge health knowledge started when he was diagnosed with HIV over 34 years ago during a hopeless era. This life-threatening diagnosis propelled him to explore hormone therapies to prevent his and his peers’ death from wasting syndrome. His path for self-education combined reviewing available literature, attending numerous health conferences, becoming an advocate member of the U.S. National Institute of Health’s research committees, writing books, moderating online groups, and networking with many progressive clinicians. After a suggestion by Gene Devine, Nelson created ExcelMale.com in October 2013 to spread his 30+ year knowledge to help people lead a healthy life regardless of their health status or background.

He is the author of “Testosterone: A Man’s Guide” and co-author of the book “Built to Survive”, the founder of the nonprofit organizations Body Positive Wellness Clinic and Program for Wellness Restoration, and the Nutrition and Exercise forum expert at TheBody.com. Nelson’s latest projects, DiscountedLabs.com, ClinicOptimizers.com, and TRTFinder.com, aim at expanding access to affordable blood tests, good medical providers and education for all.

I am a 63-year-old male, born in 1954. Since I was young, I have taken my health very seriously. I began lifting weights and trying to eat healthy while still in high school. I am married with five children and five grandchildren. I have been an electrical worker for the past 20 years, building large power transformers. I live in Wisconsin and enjoy outdoor activities like fishing, hiking, and golfing. I joined Excel Male in November 2014 because I was looking for information to help me remain living a healthy lifestyle. Becoming a moderator shortly after I joined, has helped me to get very involved in helping others improve their health.

I am a 40-year-old man, soon-to-be living in Tampa, FL. I have probably had borderline hypogonadism and 5-alpha-reductase enzyme-related problems all my life. I was always tired, gaining weight throughout my 20’s and 30’s, and of course, had libido problems. I’m married, have three kids, and a sometimes stressful career as a software developer. So I thought these things were normal and just part of getting old, because an increasing number of people around us are overweight, stressed, and tired too. Well, It isn’t normal, and you do not have to settle for living your life that way.

By 35 I was put on TRT. And I sometimes suffered even more because local doctors couldn’t understand how to help. As a software developer, I knew that gathering as much data as I can about a problem gives you your best chance at fixing it. In my search for answers, I found ExcelMale. I liked that the information is based on clinical data and facts. I also liked that, unlike all other forums, ExcelMale was well moderated to avoid spam and abuse. Last but not least, I also found Defy Medical on this platform.

Then my life changed. Dr. Saya and his staff at Defy Medical have drastically improved my health and well-being over the past several years, and Nelson and I worked to turn my TRT Analyzer app prototype into a finished product to help others. Now I work full-time in this field with my friends, using technology and providing direction to help others and improve their lives. It’s a great feeling to be connected to the source of great information and to learn from others!
