Who Should You Trust?

I have a friend, “Mr. S,” who’s turning 50 and hasn’t been feeling his best.

Unfortunately, another friend of his had some well-meaning but overly naive advice:

“Dude, if you’re over 40, you need to be on TRT. It changed my life!”

So, Mr. S decided to try and get on testosterone therapy.

He wanted to improve his energy, body composition, and overall vitality. That other friend seemed to have all those things, so Mr. S thought, Why not?

The Problem with Testosterone Therapy

While I respect that Mr. S took action, I really wish he had come to me first.

Here’s the thing about testosterone therapy: once you start, it’s very hard to stop. Your body becomes dependent on the injections and stops producing testosterone naturally. That means needles for life—and a hefty bill to match.

And let’s be real—even if the male clinic knew about simple, natural ways to increase Mr. S’s testosterone, do you think they would’ve told him? These guys are making $500 a month off my friend. They have no financial interest in having him take a $0.20 pill every morning.

What could we have done instead?

With the right approach, I could’ve helped Mr. S raise his testosterone naturally—from the 400s to over 1000—without ever needing a needle.

The Natural Solution

Through diet, supplementation, and lifestyle changes, he could’ve boosted his testosterone for a fraction of the price and avoided all the downsides of therapy.

A few simple supplements like raw maca root, ashwagandha, vitamin D, vitamin K, and iodine could’ve done the job. Not only would he have avoided needles, but he’d also be setting himself up for a stronger, healthier next 10 years.

This is a huge deal for men over 40 who want to look and feel their best without relying on medical treatments that lock them into dependency.

Our environment today makes it harder than ever to naturally optimize hormones, but that doesn’t mean it’s impossible.

You just need the right tools and guidance—and iodine is one of those tools.

Have You Ever Heard of the Goiter Belt?

Back in the early 20th century, large parts of the U.S. were hit hard by iodine deficiency, especially in areas far from the ocean. This region was nicknamed the “Goiter Belt” because thyroid issues and goiters (enlarged thyroid glands) were so common.

Iodine deficiency led to fatigue, weight gain, and other health problems, but the government came up with a simple solution in 1924: fortify table salt with iodine. Within years, cases of goiter plummeted, and public health improved.

Problem solved, right?

Fast forward to today. Many of us have ditched iodized table salt in favor of Himalayan pink salt or sea salts. While these trendy salts are packed with minerals, they don’t contain iodine—and now iodine deficiency is creeping back into modern diets.

Let’s be honest—people practically look down on you if you’re caught using regular table salt. “Oh, you’re still using that? My salt has way more minerals.” But those minerals won’t help if your thyroid isn’t getting the iodine it needs to function properly.

Why Iodine Matters for Your Health

Iodine is essential for producing thyroid hormones, which regulate metabolism, energy levels, brain function, and hormonal balance.

Without enough iodine, your thyroid can’t function properly, leading to sluggishness, weight gain, fatigue, and hormone imbalances.

If Mr. S had been taking 10 mg of iodine daily, he could’ve supported his thyroid, boosted his metabolism, and felt energized—all without jumping on TRT.

This one simple, affordable supplement could’ve made a huge difference in his energy, metabolism, and overall health.

The Bigger Picture

This is why I’m so passionate about helping people optimize their hormones naturally.

With regular bloodwork, we can pinpoint what your body is missing and make small adjustments with supplements, diet, and lifestyle changes.

You don’t need to jump straight to expensive treatments or weekly injections.

By getting your blood checked and focusing on natural solutions like iodine, you can feel stronger, healthier, and more energized—without the needles or the cost.

Let’s work with your body, not against it, to help you feel your absolute best.

I coach people to optimize their hormones naturally. First, we look at your bloodwork, and then we optimize.

I’m not cheap, but I’ll probably save you from a lifetime of needles and expenses.
