And

in that moment, I realized, like, I have to take my biology in my own hands, right? I have to do the research.

I have to be, you know, my best advocate.

I have to fight for what I'm feeling and how to fix it.

So, you know, the testosterone helped with the mental health.

It helped a little bit with the fatigue and the brain fog, but I still had all these symptoms.

And so, you know, I started pouring over research, reading books, listening to more podcasts, And, uh, you know, I went back to Dave Asprey because he was right about the testosterone thing.

How does somebody become so full of a heavy metal like mercury? Like, how does that happen? Are most people having heavy metal issues?

That's perfect.

But, uh, yeah, so I mean, I think it all started, um, honestly in my undergrad.

When I was in, when I was in college, um, I just started noticing, you know, I was tired.

Um, and you know, I thought it was because I was an athlete.

I was on the crew team.

I rowed.

Um, and you know, I did 20 hours of training plus a week.

It was, uh, it was HCG and my mental health symptoms basically went away in a week.

And I was like, there's something to this.

I need to change my health today"?

Yeah, some of the...

The main part of the catalyst was, like, I was objectively living the perfect life, right? I was doing my master's degree in Dubai.

I was getting great grades, had great friends, like learning, growing.

I was eating perfectly clean.

I was working out.

I was doing all the things, and I just kept getting sicker.

At a high dose

From there, they begin fighting.

We struggle.

He manages to get behind me.

And now for all my talk of, all my thoughts of being a badass, and you have to remember, back then, I'm, I w- I weigh a buck 80 on a really good day with my trench coat on.

[laughs] I'm, I'm not a big, intimidating guy.

I'm, I'm a lanky, scrawny, little fucking teenager with really, really big delusions.

He's got his left hand on the back of my neck.

Now Kyle is the one who is afraid of dying?
