3 years ago our then 29 year old son had gone through a tough few years and his weight went from 170 to 333 pounds! We talked with our son along with another of our kids and encouraged him to make a major life change! He at first was convinced he wanted to get the gastric sleeve operation! After a lot more research he went into a HRT doctor who did NOT put him on T but Metformin and others. He was seeing a trainer who helped him train 1 time in the morning and then again for an hour in the afternoon. The trainer became his main motivator to incorporate a total lifestyle of clean measured-timing eating, supplements and exercise! After 2.5 years of hard work he is now at 167 pounds at 6ft 2in and back to his old self like he was at age 22.


YOU CAN do this!!! Please give yourself a 3 year horizon to be realistic about a goal of weight loss! I would recommend you speak to your doctor as nelson mentions about Semaglutide. This is such a simple treatment if it works for you! just one injection a week!!!


You are a young man and have your whole life ahead of you! It will be so worth it! My son did what he thought was not possible and you can too! The 3 year journey will be worth the next 50-60 years ahead of you!

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
