[QUOTE="Vettester Chris, post: 4515, member: 696"] Hello to everyone here at ExcelMale. It is a pleasure to be part of your community, and to see such a great collaboration of talent within this forum! A quick intro and some background ... I am Chris, I am 47yo, married and living in So. Cal. Shortly after turning 40, I really started going through a dark tunnel with my health and well being. I had a liver biopsy that confirmed that I was a carrier for hemochromatosis; having extremely high iron levels and a ferritin reading >1,400. I was dealing with a myriad of other issues, including constant fatigue, no libido, no mental focus; basically my well being was in the tank. It was shortly thereafter that I was also diagnosed with secondary hypogonadism. At the time it sounded like a pretty easy fix ... Well, not so easy, I was in the same boat as many, whereas my female GP was not all that versed in the proper treatment of HRT, and the Endocrinologist that I was referred to was (sad to say) several steps below her, but twice the ego. So it was an initial trial and error, one (1) injection to last three (3) weeks, no E2 evaluation, "HCG is for Manny Ramirez" bit, ... Lots of the same things that many of you have incurred on your personal journeys. It was at/around 6 months of going through that jazz before I decided that the only person that's going to pull me through this ordeal is "me". I knew my medical team was not fulfilling my requirements for optimal hormonal treatment. I knew two (2) things were going to be pertinent with my success in this journey ... 1) A solid physician/clinic that could effectively and professionally treat my condition(s) ... 2) The educational ramp-up on my part with getting versed with hormones and the endocrine system, along with the supporting variables of a functional diet, exercise, supplements, and taking the steps to discover a new balance with it all. It was then that a whole new chapter of my life began! It's been an interesting journey to say the least, yet quite challenging to reach deeper, learn more, and as a good friend of mine says quite often, "pay it forward." I go back quite a bit with several of the members here, and again, the talent pool is unreal here! It's an honor to be part of your community, and I look forward to learning from some of the best minds on the Net! [/QUOTE]
