How many of you are here because of bodybuilding, or fitness supplementation causing Testosterone issues?

Started feeling a bit “off” when I hit 45. Less drive and motivation. Glad to be here for the good info 👍

My story starts at 18 years old. I was a Competitive National-level bodybuilder, eventually making it to one of the top ranking competitors in the USA. I had used synthetic Testosterone for so long that when I finally stopped taking the hormone- my body no longer produced any testosterone. Life immediately became very rough, and I ended up back on synthetic testosterone. This low doctor-prescribed TRT dosage still had my bloodwork looking terrible! And on top of that, I didn't even feel great at that dosage. From that point on I made it my mission to find a way to get my body producing on it's own again. What good is taking Synthetic medications if it's going to negatively impact your health, and shorten your lifespan if there's a safer way? Luckily, I have a degree in Medical Laboratory Tech, a certification in Bio-manufacturing specializing in pharmaceuticals, my family has multiple chemists, and my brother is a doctor. I've always took it upon myself to dive deep into medical research throughout my schooling and career, so I was able to find the correct information I needed to help myself. Through much trial and error, I was able to put together a protocol consisting of diet, supplementation, and lifestyle tweaks in order to optimize my body to produce like a normal healthy male. Now I'd like to help others do the same as I. Time to take control of your health and most importantly- feel good while doing it! **I am not a medical doctor.
