Jul 12 · 2h 30m

Matthew CoxHOST

81:37

Mm-hmm.

81:37

So again, what I...

81:38

The first thing I want to do is explain how, just how beneficial testosterone is.

81:42

Testosterone is a, is a fo- foundational metabolic and neurological signal.

81:48

It's founda- foundationally metabolic because, um, it does build muscle mass.

81:53

Building muscle mass, it takes a lot of energy to build and maintain muscle mass.

81:57

Building muscle mass is very, very good for you.

I think

5:46

there's a lot of parallels between your story and my story, kind of comebacks, right? But I guess it started, I grew up, I was just a skinny kid.

6:00

That was probably where it started, right? I was really skinny.

6:03

I now know I had low testosterone my whole life.

6:05

At the time, I didn't know.

6:08

But now I can look back and I had all the all the symptoms of hypogonadism or low testosterone.

6:13

So I was, I got, when I was 13 years old, I got picked on for being skinny.

48:20

Mm

48:20

...

48:20

while people are w- waiting for their orders.

48:23

Um, so I, I elevated her to a shipper, and then one of the mistakes I made is I had a chemist ship directly to the shipper's house.

48:35

And, and so i- if, if something goes wrong with that shipment, then the police can come there and they can find all the rest of the stuff.

48:43

I, in the future, I changed it so there was receiving houses that were clean, right? So that was a mistake that I made.

48:50

So a sh- a chemist shipped it to her, and this, and one of the vials broke and leaked through the package.
