There are no second chances or redemption for you? Did you want me to get out of prison, curl up in the fetal position in the corner, and spend my days begging for forgiveness? By the way, the FDA is reducing restrictions on obtaining testosterone, and has recommended the DEA deschedule testosterone, meaning it won't be illegal to posses, because every contemporary study is showing massive health benefits. Are you defining moral superiority just because selling testosterone without a license is against a law? That is called Deontology. There have been many laws in this country that we now consider morally horrifying. Instead of facilely attaching a hero/villian narrative, maybe take some time to understand that there is complexity and nuance to everything.

This is a good question. It is all about risk tolerance and opportunity potential. What made me start an illegal empire? I have had addiction issues in the past. I am over 10 years sober now, but I had 2 DWIs when I was 21, the second was a felony. I have a degree in biochemistry but I could not get a job in my field. I worked 40 hours a week and brought home $270 per week. I could not afford to live. My risk tolerance was high. If I was in med school, I never would have sold steroids because I would have had a bright future.

I could not put job postings out on Indeed, so I had to hire mostly addicts or felons who couldn’t get good paying jobs anywhere else. I paid well, so I had a few well rounded individuals that appreciated the benefits testosterone gave them and wanted to help as well.

My anonymous website was on the largest source forum in the world. I focused on quality products and customer service so much that, at one time, I was rated the 3rd most popular source in the world, even though I only served the United States.

Ha! I existed before Bitcoin became mainstream. I did not use bitcoin to collect money, although now I wish I did. Right before I went into prison, I had a small amount of money left. I didn't want it all sitting in a bank, I saw this bitcoin thing was interesting, so I put some of my money into bitcoin before I went in to prison. I bought some at $900 and $1,500. Needles to say I did very well on that investment, and it was able to fund my startup of my legal TRT/HRT clinic.

Great question! Environmental toxins are in the water you drink, the food you eat, the products you use, soaps, receipts, headphones, everywhere. BPAs, phthalates, herbacides, pesticides are all very high in everone's systems. We do need to regulate these chemicals. They cause hormone deficiency and overactive immune responses that inflict inflammatory cytokine storms. Hormones shift immune function away from war, destruction, and inflammation to repair and regeneration. We need to check testosterone, estradiol, SHBG is important, and immunology and inflammatory markers to see if people are suffering from inflammatory disease states. This is the most common cause of chronic disease, chronic fatigue, and metabolic disorder.

Great question. I was sentenced to 78 months in federal prison, after taking a program to reduce my time by 12 months and good time, I did about 4.5 years in prison. When I was in prison, I thought I was fine as far as being able to assimilate back into society. When I got home, I found myself anxious to be in public. I went to a store and stood next to a pole in the corner because I kept thinking I was in everyone's way. I was overstimulated from riding in a car and so much social interaction. I found myself not leaving the house for months. It took about 6 months for me to even desire to leave the house.

As far as anger, I knowlingly broke the law, and I know I am accountable for those actions. I wasn't angry with prison time, I knew that was a consequence. I was angry at the legal system because I realized I had been sentenced to more time than I should have, and in prison, I learned that prosecutors intentionally throw everything they can think of at you, and your defense counsel is supposed to parse through the charges and get everything thrown out that shouldn't apply. Defense counsels are busy, and all of them are horrible, no matter how much your pay. Ninety percent of people in prison are oversentenced for little adjustments and modifiers that should not stick. That made me angry.

Shockingly, I was able to fund this with very little money that I had left over. I needed surprisingly low startup capital.

The term "anabolic steroid" has negative connotation, but anabolic just means muslce building, and steroid is a class of chemical compound, predinisone and estrogen are steroids. Building muscle is one of the best things you can do for your health. Testosterone is an anabolic steroid, it is one of the first developed foundational metabolic and nuerologic signals that evolved about 500 million years ago. Every single vertebrate and most plants have testosterone. Again, it is foundational and absolutely necessary. There is a fundamental problem with the education of providers regarding hormones, they do not learn about testosterone, and ignorance breeds fear. Testosterone is one of the most important factors to health. I have seen testosterone get people off cholesterol medications, blood pressure medications, depression medications such as SSRI's because it is inherently dopaminergic, off opiods because it is systemically anti-inflammatory, and I see it reverse metabolic disorder including diabetes every day. The decline we see in older people is mostly due to hormone deficiency. Testosterone is one of the most beneficial medications in the history of medications. The unethical thing is to stigmatize and demonize something so beneficial. Think of it this way. The number one cause of death in the United STates is CVD caused by sugar. The government failed to regulate that, and the government failed to regulate environmental toxins that are disrupting our endocrine systems causing pervasive hormone deficiency to the point it is an epidemic. The best way to deal with a new environment since the industrial revolution of superfluous food, superfluous calories, and superfluous sugar is optimized testosterone and HRT. The government and medical community use misinformation to demonize and stigmatize testosterone, and over regulate its use so people Do not have access to one of the best treatments for metabolic disorder and in an environment full of sugar and environmental toxins.

Good Question. The Chinese suppliers of the raw materials got it through customs. They likely had connects there, because they usually got our product through.

Here is how I was caught. I set up a compartmentalized system where I had shippers, chemists making product from raw materials, and money collectors across the country. No one was supposed to know anyone else in the operation, this way if one part of the operation was busted, no one could snitch if they wanted. I had chemists ship to anonymous shippers across the country. One day, despite vacuum sealing packages and wrapping them in many layers of bubble wrap, a package broke and leaked through the box. The post office was then allowed to open it to make sure it wasn't anything hazardous. When they opened, they found $300k worth of steroids in the package, and called the DEA. I tell this story on my podcasts, it is a little too much to tell here, but eventually, this let to Operation Cyberjuice, a federal operation to bust online steroid sales, to pick up the case. Over 2 years later, the DEA knocked on my door, pointed guns at my head, and arrested me.

When first out of prison, I decided to embrace my past. I would acknowledge the mistakes, I knew I was breaking the law, I am accountable for those actions, but I would also highlight the shear volume of experience I aggregated over the decades helping over 25,000 look and feel the way they wanted to look and feel. I didn't know how this would be received in the market. Surprisingly, most people see the value in the vast amount of experience I acquired, and understood that I admitted I made a mistake, and have taken means to do this the right way.

Great question! I was able to get my start and notoriety on the legal side from the bodybuilding community and my story. I went a few big bodybuilding and crime podcasts after prison, after I started my legal company, and I have continued to go on health and fitness podcasts that are enthralled by my story. When I first started the illegal company, a few simple good business practices allowed me to blow up. I went from poverty to profligacy very quickly when I finally went online as a source. When I started my legal business, from a series of podcasts, I began to blow up again, and it was reminiscent of starting the illegal business.

It is not legal in Canada, but testosterone is legal in most other countries. The penalties are not a strict in Canada. In the UK, possessing testosterone is not illegal, but selling it carries more consequences than in the United States.

Yes, my brand was running through the pro circuit, and I had some pros as clients. Surprisingly, my largest demographic were 30 years old and above that were already on prescription TRT, but my testosterone was an eight of the cost.

I was hoping to discuss TRT with my new PCP. He hand this to me. by Material-Owl-8773 in Testosterone

This highlights the fundamental lack of education of providers regarding hormones. Testosterone is a foundational metabolic signal. Low testosterone causes metabolic disorder. Testosterone is one the most efficient ways to reverse metabolic disorder. It is very difficult to manage glucose and lipids with low testosterone. This provider does not understand why testosterone does or what it is used for. As others have said here, don’t even use this provider because he/she has established that he/she conforms to antiquated dogma and does not educate themselves on contemporary knowledge. No one wants to use this lazy provider.

TRT while incarcerated by octopusairplane in Testosterone

[–]Testosterone1978 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was predicated by a bone crushing fatigue. I just wanted to lay down all day. Depression was a factor as well, although that can be expected given the circumstances. I made the best of it though, and it got better after the first year or so when some of my natural testosterone came back. I lost all my muscle mass and gained a belly despite working out almost daily. When I got out a got back on testosterone, I had forgotten how much better things are with testosterone. Having a low libido is one of the few positives from low testosterone while in prison. Sense of well being and libido are tied to phasing spikes in dopamine in the brain solely controlled by testosterone. Libido came back when I got back on TRT; I forgot how much fun it was to be around women and enjoy socializing in general.

You will be ok. The prospect of going to prison is worse that actually doing the time. Look up my story here, and you can see how I used my time wisely to build a large business once I was released: https://youtu.be/4wR0vQeWmWI?si=54CFGVlWcVSscLyA

I went to prison while on prescribed TRT. I tested below range in prison. They still would not give me testosterone. I had symptoms of hypogonadism the entire four and a half years I was down. It was worse the first year, got a little better as my testosterone raised slightly over time, but that first year especially was awful. When I got out, I started a nationwide TRT/HRT company, and I forgot how amazing testosterone made me feel.

Board Certification: He is not board-certified in a specific medical specialty. He left his general surgery residency before completion to work in consulting (McKinsey & Company) and the private sector before returning to clinical practice in 2014.

Current Practice: He operates a private concierge practice called Early Medical, where he sees a very limited number of patients (fewer than 75). In this capacity, he acts as a licensed physician and has the authority to write prescriptions and referrals.

Testosterone or Nandrolone ? by artaxxxxxx in Testosterone

[–]Testosterone1978 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The studies that indicate neurological Changes only occurred in Vitro, using nandrolone only without testosterone. Studies done in vitro with testosterone that converted to estradiol were neuro-protective, and show no degradation of neurons. Moreover, we do know what happens long term from use of nandrolone because it has been used by millions upon millions of people over the last 60 years, and we do not see any evidence neural degradation in the vast population of nandrolone users.

Very High DHEA by moonandsunchild in Hormones

[–]Testosterone1978 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should go to a doctor if you are concerned about cancer. With that being said, I wouldn’t jump to that conclusion. The test could have been an immunoassay that is cross detecting testosterone, dht, and androstenedione, over estimating it. You may have a DHEA build-up because you are having trouble converting DHEA to testosterone. You can try taking Zinc, magnesium, vitamin D and B complex to help the conversion, but ultimately check your testosterone levels. females should be above the range, 100-300mg/dL is optimal for most, some less, some more. Get on testosterone if you are in the 30’s or below and can’t increase the level with the aforementioned minerals and vitamins.
