In this episode of the Findaway Podcast, Dusty discusses the next step in his health journey—getting his biomarkers and testosterone levels checked. He explains that he partnered with HONE Health to undergo blood work, as he wants to better understand his hormone levels, especially after turning 40 and having two kids.Key Takeaways: • Why Check Biomarkers? • Hormones play a significant role in overall health, weight management, muscle building, and energy levels. • Factors like aging, parenting, and lifestyle changes can impact hormone levels, including testosterone. • Dusty has never had his testosterone levels checked before and wants to see if optimization is needed. • Concerns About Testing & Gimmicks • A follower raised concerns about health companies being gimmicky. • Dusty reassures that he is sharing his journey transparently, not promoting a product blindly. • He acknowledges skepticism but believes in the importance of getting hormone levels checked. • Testosterone & Its Effects • Lower testosterone can make weight management and muscle-building harder. • Hormonal imbalances can affect metabolism, energy, and how the body responds to food and exercise. • He mentions his wife's experience with PCOS, emphasizing how hormone imbalances can make weight loss more challenging. • The Testing Process • Bloodwork was done at home via a LabCorp professional. • He expects to receive results soon and will share them openly. • If levels are normal, he'll accept the natural shifts that come with age and life changes. If not, he'll explore potential solutions. • The Value of Sharing the Journey • Dusty reflects on how he originally didn't share his weight loss journey out of fear of failure. • He sees value in sharing the in-between moments rather than just before-and-after results. • He hopes this process helps others understand the importance of hormone health.Final Thoughts:Dusty is waiting for his test results and will share what he learns. Whether or not his testosterone needs optimization, he sees this as an opportunity to educate others on hormone health and how it impacts fitness and well-being.

In all my years podcasting and working with the great masters of our time, I have never seen anything like this. Paul Selig is channeling information from who he calls “The Guides” and Rebbe Gafni is transmitting the deep lineage of Solomon and Kabbalist wisdom. What do they agree about? Where are the points of distinction and separation? In this shocking convergence, we see how the old Word of the Biblical texts meets the new Word freshly informed from extra-dimensional star beings.

Welcome back to Common Sense Medicine! This is the last post of the year, moving into the holidays, so wishing you happy holidays and a happy new year. In this episode, I'm joined by Stuart Blitz, who is the Co-Founder and Chief Operating Officer at Hone Health, a men's optimization clinic that offers at-home blood tests, tele-health consultations, and medication delivery. Prior to this, Stuart held the position of Chief Business Officer at Seventh Sense Biosystems (now YourBioHealth), where they played a key role in designing and developing the world's first push-button blood collection device. Before that, they worked at AgaMatrix, where they served as the Executive Director of Business Development and Strategy, as well as the Director of Worldwide Commercial Development. Stuart's experience spans over several years and includes a focus on improving healthcare systems and providing convenient solutions for consumers.Check out the episode on Spotify, iTunes, or YouTubeIf you've been forwarded this email and are just getting this for the first time— thanks for reading! I publish podcasts monthly and I'd love for you to subscribe using the link below.Video Version[1:00] Stuart's origin in HealthTech, and how he created the first-ever medical device for the original iPhone* Started his career and joined two founders who started AgaMatrix in the diabetes space* He had done Biomedical Engineering in college at Johns Hopkins, and he was sort of the “black sheep” there because people didn't want to go to health startups in 2002, but rather medical school or government or research* AgaMatrix made glucometers with test strips for diabetes and then launched a medical device company * They ended up getting to retail pharmacies, and 15 years later the device that they made is still on the shelves at CVS, Krogers, etc. * They started working with Apple in 2007, right around the release of the first iPhone, to create a smart glucometer which was cleared by the FDA* They were able to partner with Sanofi, and distributed their product in 20-30 countries[4:22] Why he decided to stay at AgaMatrix for 10+ years* Every 2-3 years, he did something new, so it didn't feel like that long * The first couple years were core startup mode to figure out product-market fit and raise capital. * The first idea was to make software to make glucometers work better. This was a stupid idea because people make money on the glucose test strips and not the glucometer themselves* The next few years were about growing and selling, and they signed a bunch of deals to distribute their products. One was Liberty Medical, which provided products to people on Medicaid* The last few years were about distribution, building around new partnerships like the international one with Sanofi and scaling their sales team to get into more patients' daily routines[7:07] How did he pivot to SeventhSense Bio? * He had a lot of experience in HealthTech and diagnostics, and had met SeventhSense Bio before joining them* They had an interesting angle on at-home testing, which would require an easy device to get that blood from the patient without the assistance of a healthcare professional* Met many founders (ex. Hims, Romans, and also the much-maligned Theranos) and saw the D2C angle for medications* Key insight was they haven't gotten to mass adoption because of cost angle, usability angle, and lab compatibility angle* Most important is the usability angle, because at-home diagnostic has to function 99% of the time, the first time (there are no “re-dos” because it isn't like the patient has another tube or a professional to help them at home). The devices that are on the market right now aren't there yet, but might get there* His thesis was that there are going to be way more D2C, cash-pay, access companies started but they're going to get started around high-niche customers who aren't getting serviced already by the system[11:39] Founding Hone Health* He met his current co-founder, Saad, and liked his story. Saad had turned 35 and he had all the symptoms of Low Testosterone (Low T)* Saad approached Stuart in his role at SeventhSense Bio and thought that his at-home device could help measure low T in his customers* Stuart said it might not work that way, but he was intrigued by the business model and decided to join Saad at Hone Health 4 years ago[13:23] What does he think was core to build Hone? * Shree's take: With D2C companies, I see three issues — the patient needs to know that they have the disease, they need to know where to go to treat it, and they need to make sure that the provider also knows how to treat this under-serviced condition* Something that was core to the offering that they built was through building their physician network. A lot of HealthTech companies would use Wheel or SteadyMD provider networks to get started, but the specialty care that Hone provides prevented them from doing this* Stuart can tell if the physician is knowledgable about treatment for male hormonal health in 1 minute — do they (1) know the patient population, (2) do they know the protocols around dosing testosterone, (3) are they committed to the clinic by responding frequently / giving this the seriousness that it deserves, (4) can you use technology well to treat patients, and (5) do they pass the vibe check. Below is a video of his real time reaction when a doctor says they don't know the correct dosing of testosterone* Hone's business model is that a physician meets with a patient after they get labs via a tele-medicine consult, and then they determine based on AUA guidelines whether a patient needs to get low T. Then, the patient gets on a subscription plan to pay for the treatment and has a consult every 90 days[21:54] Risks to Hone's business model by using telemedicine with controlled substances* Context: The Ryan Haight law prevents providers from using telehealth from prescribing controlled substances. It was temporarily waived during the pandemic, when people needed them to continue on treatment (think Suboxone for opioid dependance, or Testosterone like in this case)* Stuart doesn't think it will be a big risk because the law originally was meant to prevent people from googling “Vicodin” to buy it online. This law came out 15 years ago when telemedicine was far from prevalent* The DEA had a proposal (summarized by Stuart) that said that a patient should see a provider in person at least once in 90 days to continue on that prescription for the controlled substance. Hone's patient population would be OK seeing a practitioner, Stuart thinks, because they go to LabCorp every 90 days for a lab test to continue being on Testosterone* The DEA held sessions in September 2023 to learn more about what to do about this restriction, and they decided to make a special registration process to make sure that providers could be able to continue to prescribe controlled substances via a telemedicine pathway which (he thinks) will be finished by the end of next year (2024)[27:11] Surprising things that Stuart learned about the patient population at Hone* Patients want options, it's not about either getting labs taken at-home or in the clinic, but it's the option of getting it at one or the other. You could have a patient in a city who has LabCorp 10 minutes away from them, or a rural area where they have one 150 miles away [29:01] Hone Health's Unit Economics* Stuart thinks that Unit Economics have to work from day one, and that VC-backed companies cannot stay afloat if this basic tenet is not met because simply relying on growth will not outpace profitability* They want to expand to longevity, thyroid care, obesity, etc. Right now, they don't serve that and their providers will send them elsewhere to get that care[31:20] Stuart's hot takes on Twitter * Stuart thinks that there are many players in the space who are making money off of the “bad things” that are happening in healthcare. If you insert X thing here, and you ask “why isn't anyone disrupting this? It's terrible for patients,” there's probably someone profiting off of that* Hone Health might have some competition as more clinics pop up, and there is a “race to the bottom” as they compete on pricing, but they can compete on the value that they provide to the consumer* One of the key learnings that they had on Hone Health was that in order to keep OpEx low, they have to be scrappy. Stuart mentioned if you're starting out, just “use Google Sheets.” Then you can figure out how to get your first customers, and then build from there* Those learnings are very critical and they can serve the business [38:53] Building their own HIPAA compliant EMR * They are not serving a population which requires Meaningful Use metrics (i.e., Medicare), since they are out-of-pocket / cash pay for all of their costs, but if they were then they will add on compliance after the fact * They first got one off-the-shelf, but it was pretty bad and wasn't helpful. The off-the-shelf EMR was fine for doctors who were writing notes, but the problems came in from a product standpoint, where there weren't meaningful ways to onboard patients and have a good patient journey* This was complemented because each of the founders had their own expertise, so they were able to build a better company by having a lot of synergies (marketing, finance, ops, marketing, brand, etc.) [43:48] Stuart's vision for the future of Hone Health * At a minimum, they want to be able to network with payers. They want to reduce out-of-pocket costs for patients, and they want to expand the amount of benefits which they can tackle using Hone (i.e., longevity, etc.) This is a public episode.

There's a massive unspoken epidemic going on globally in men's health right now – low T-scores; and practically no one is talking about it. Lots of ‘youts' are running around on an empty tank and don't even know it. It's an interesting and very important topic; and it's at the top of a lot of people's minds, even if it's a bit taboo to talk about. But it's something that matters to me, so I wanted to dive in deep and figure out what it all means. My guest today makes checking, monitoring, and boosting your t-score accessible and affordable. I've used the service myself (Ellen made me check mine), and as luck would have it, I'm also an indirect investor in Saad's company. I've got a feeling this will be my most evergreen episode. Enjoy!

In Episode #125, we explore testosterone replacement therapy and building a telehealth company. We're joined by Saad Alam, Hone Health's Founder and CEO. We cover the basics of testosterone, the future of health management, and learnings from building a telehealth company. “When people say a good CEO basically works himself out of a job and spends 30 for 40% of his time recruiting, I thought that was a cute kitchen magnet that really probably wasn't real. And the reality is, it actually couldn't be more true.” – Saad Alam EPISODE GUIDE (LINKS, QUOTES, NOTES, AND BOOKS MENTIONED) https://www.danielscrivner.com/notes/hone-saad-alam FULL TEXT TRANSCRIPT https://www.danielscrivner.com/notes/hone-saad-alam-transcript CHAPTERS This episode is our definitive guide to building and scaling a testosterone replacement telehealth company. In it we cover: 00:00:00 – Introduction 00:02:39 – Saad's background and the genesis of Hone 00:10:12 – Making life whatever you want it to be 00:15:12 – Helping men have confidence as they age 00:18:25 – What is testosterone, and how does it work? 00:24:22 – Non-pharmaceutical treatments for low testosterone 00:27:23 – The risks of high and low testosterone levels 00:32:28 – The patient journey at Hone 00:44:12 – The future of health management 00:50:29 – Learnings from building a telehealth company 00:54:48 – The importance of hiring people who are better than you ABOUT HONE HEALTH Saad Alam is Founder and CEO of Hone, which is creating an entirely new type of healthcare company initially focused on helping men with low testosterone. Saad describes it as “helping men age with confidence.” Low testosterone is an alarming and growing trend, which is why testosterone treatments like Hone are on the rise. Scientific research has shown that for decades now the level of testosterone in men has been declining. The most alarming statistic is that our generation has around 50% less testosterone than our father's generation, who in turn has less testosterone than their father's generation. And the reasons behind this are very complicated, but a large part of it seems to be due to growing environmental and plastic pollution, which have caused the level of heavy metals in our bodies to rise while micro plastics in our blood disrupt the production of testosterone and actually spur the production of estrogen. With this context, you would imagine that it's becoming easier to find out if you have low testosterone and get testosterone treatments if needed, but you would be very wrong, which is why Saad Alam founded Hone and set out to revolutionize the way that men are treated for low testosterone.

In this episode of One day with Jon Bier, Jon talks with Saad Alam about the dangerous effects of hormonal imbalances and low testosterone in men, its epigenetic implications, and how to address this relatively modern phenomenon. Saad does a deep dive into the testosterone crisis that inspired him to establish his company, Hone Health, explaining why testosterone is better than any drug at boosting holistic wellness and performance. Saad makes the case that supplementing with testosterone is not only a nice-to-have for today's average man, but a foundational decision that affects every part of that man's life—for a lifetime. Saad Alam is the Founder & CEO at Hone, an online clinic that treats men's hormonal imbalances and low testosterone by offering at-home blood tests, 30 minute telehealth consults, and medications delivered directly to their door. Powerful Quotes by Saad If we're talking about discretionary income, this is not discretionary. You need testosterone to literally live your life. As you age, you start to deposit that self-doubt of, “That's just who I was when I was younger. I'll never be like that.” That starts a negative fucking feedback cycle in your mind, and it just becomes who you are as you get older. If you nip that in the bud as quickly as possible and teach yourself to have a different thought pattern, you can accomplish so much more in your life. Key Highlights Testosterone stands above all other drugs primarily due to the fact that all others are episodic; whereas testosterone changes your entire being and does so for a lifetime, unstopped. If you have low testosterone and you supplement with testosterone as you get older, you will have fewer cardiovascular problems, lower your chances of developing diabetes and comorbidities, minimize depression and brittle bones, and live longer. Particularly when it comes to fitness, testosterone may help you win the mental battle, which always follows the physical battle (i.e. lifting heavy). Across the board, men's testosterone is decreasing like never before. Men from three decades ago had an average of 26% more testosterone and 50% more sperm than today's men.

Dr. Jack Jeng (@JackJeng) is the Chief Medical Officer of Hone Health, a modern men's health platform that offers personalized care with data driven insights, licensed physician consultations, and medications, all from home.There is a crisis of low testosterone levels across the population that is not spoken about nearly enough. Current testosterone levels are significantly lower than generations past, and this is affecting ALL aspects of health. You may have heard of “TRT” as something guys use to get bigger in the gym - this is the least exciting and impactful effect of hormone therapy. In this conversation Jack explains all the ways in which low testosterone is negatively affecting our collective health. He expands upon some of the reasons why, which are a mixed bag of behavioural, environmental, and genetic causes. Most importantly, he offers some possible solutions. From optimizing your lifestyle all the way up to utilizing modern science via HRT (hormone replacement therapy), there are ways we can curb this crisis. This could potentially have massive positive downstream effects on the health care system at large, which we also discussed. Hone Health is a service that makes these therapies available, totally remotely. From testing, consultation, and ongoing support - you can do it all from your home for better, and more affordable service.

Saad describes it as helping men age with confidence. Saad is a serial entrepreneur who founded two companies before he founded home. He's completely focused on building mission-driven companies that solve problems that have directly affected him. And he's probably one of the fittest guests I've ever had on the show. His daily routine, from his morning meditation to the way he works out, how he changes the personal trainer he uses every quarter, how he uses everything from an infrared sauna to hyperbaric chamber, is the most intense of anyone I've ever interviewed.

We talk through all of the equipment he uses, from his infrared sauna to an at home hyperbaric oxygen chamber. Saad shares why he writes down three things he's grateful for every single morning and how that practice shows up when he's burnt out and tired at the end of the day, and being able to remind himself about why he's doing what he's doing.

In Episode #125, we explore testosterone replacement therapy and building a telehealth company. We're joined by Saad Alam, Hone Health's Founder and CEO. We cover the basics of testosterone, the future of health management, and learnings from building a telehealth company. “When people say a good CEO basically works himself out of a job and spends 30 for 40% of his time recruiting, I thought that was a cute kitchen magnet that really probably wasn't real. And the reality is, it actually couldn't be more true.” – Saad Alam EPISODE GUIDE (LINKS, QUOTES, NOTES, AND BOOKS MENTIONED) https://www.danielscrivner.com/notes/hone-saad-alam FULL TEXT TRANSCRIPT https://www.danielscrivner.com/notes/hone-saad-alam-transcript CHAPTERS This episode is our definitive guide to building and scaling a testosterone replacement telehealth company. In it we cover: 00:00:00 – Introduction 00:02:39 – Saad's background and the genesis of Hone 00:10:12 – Making life whatever you want it to be 00:15:12 – Helping men have confidence as they age 00:18:25 – What is testosterone, and how does it work? 00:24:22 – Non-pharmaceutical treatments for low testosterone 00:27:23 – The risks of high and low testosterone levels 00:32:28 – The patient journey at Hone 00:44:12 – The future of health management 00:50:29 – Learnings from building a telehealth company 00:54:48 – The importance of hiring people who are better than you ABOUT HONE HEALTH Saad Alam is Founder and CEO of Hone, which is creating an entirely new type of healthcare company initially focused on helping men with low testosterone. Saad describes it as “helping men age with confidence.” Low testosterone is an alarming and growing trend, which is why testosterone treatments like Hone are on the rise. Scientific research has shown that for decades now the level of testosterone in men has been declining. The most alarming statistic is that our generation has around 50% less testosterone than our father's generation, who in turn has less testosterone than their father's generation. And the reasons behind this are very complicated, but a large part of it seems to be due to growing environmental and plastic pollution, which have caused the level of heavy metals in our bodies to rise while micro plastics in our blood disrupt the production of testosterone and actually spur the production of estrogen. With this context, you would imagine that it's becoming easier to find out if you have low testosterone and get testosterone treatments if needed, but you would be very wrong, which is why Saad Alam founded Hone and set out to revolutionize the way that men are treated for low testosterone.

In episode 352, we welcome our guest, James Rasteh, founder of Coast Capital, a fund that takes a private equity approach to investing in public markets.

We even talk about the difference between being an activist investor in the U.S. and Europe.

GET A $45 mail in hormone test and virtual dr. visit here. honehealth.com/opp Saad Alam found out he had the testosterone of an 80 year old when he was in his 30s. So he created what is now the fastest growing men's health company in the US. The future of health optimization is here. And we cover it in this awesome episode of Optimal Performance. •Why Saad NEEDED to create a testosterone improvement company •The jarring psychological effects of low T •40% of men over 35 suffer from low T •Our fathers generation had 26% more T and 50% more •More testosterone = fewer cardiac events, generally happier •Primary care physicians aren't trained to help you with hormone optimization •How Hone Health works - Get the test in the mail, send in blood sample, talk to a doc, determine best action to take, receive medication.

Saad Alam, two-time founder, found himself struggling mentally and physically after his first exit and he had no idea how to fix it - and neither did most of the doctors he went to see.

**This episode is brought to you by MuteSix, Gorgias, and Justuno** “When you believe in yourself again, there's just really interesting momentum in your life.” In the first part of this Feature, we have Saad Alam, Founder and CEO of Hone Health, the country's fastest-growing and premier men's health clinic. Saad went to business school and worked at various startups. Like many extraordinary immigrants who come to the United States, he wanted to fit in, and in that, he strove to be competitive, athletic, and health-obsessed. But when he turned 35, he faced an unsettling health concern. He underwent a life-changing hormone optimization process after being diagnosed with low testosterone levels.

And this isn’t just true for the stock market, but it’s also dominating the commodity landscape.Crude Oil reached 76 and turned lower. Copper remains stuck below its former 2011 highs. And Gold has been an absolute mess since peaking last August.Even the few commodities that have recently broken above resistance zones — such as Gasoline and Heating Oil — have yet to follow through and confirm their new highs in any meaningful way.Commodities have enjoyed some explosive moves over the past year. Now, many are at logical levels to pause and digest recent gains. This is healthy stuff. Normal market behavior.And when we consider the recent US dollar strength as an added headwind, it makes plenty of sense to see commodities continue to cool off and correct.When there aren't any bears left, the market has a funny way of creating new ones.That's been one of the biggest questions from me over the past few weeks. Where did all the bears go?Meanwhile, which asset class have investors been piling into the most this year?We’ve been seeing the lowest amount of bond exposure in my entire life!And the highest stock market exposure in decades…The break-in yields this week is a big one.Here's a long-term look at that key 1.4% level in the 10-year.

It is a freemium product in the sense that there is a premium tier, but that premium tier unlocks boosts and benefits and not any “new content” as such.This has led to two core benefits:A. Organic Growth:Compared to a lot of the competition and alternatives for language learning, Duolingo’s “free” price tag is of tremendous value. As such, Duolingo has gotten a lot of organic word-of-mouth growth. It has been downloaded over 500M times and has more than 40M monthly active users.B. generating a lot of data:The other advantage of the free tier is that the users generate a lot and a lot of data, which improves the product for all users, free and paid.Duolingo users complete over 500M exercises daily, generating data that can be used to power A/B testing and improve the product for all users, free and paid.Duolingo calls this their learning flywheel, shown belowBlack Widow and ESPN+Proving the might of the Marvel brand, Black Widow set a new benchmark for the pandemic era in opening to $80 million at the domestic box office. The female-led superhero pic snared the biggest North American start since the COVID-19 crisis commenced, and the largest since Disney/Lucasfilm’s Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker in Dec. 2019. Overseas, the film earned $78.8 million from 46 territories for a worldwide theatrical debut of $158.8 million.Additionally, Black Widow made at least $60 million from Disney+ Premier Access — a household has to pay $30 to watch the film — for a global start of $218.8 million, according to Disney. It’s unprecedented for a studio to announce a premium VOD or streaming viewership number on a film’s opening weekend, and Disney’s decision to do so prompted a flurry of conversations across Hollywood on Sunday as to whether this will lead to more transparency. (Disney, for instance, has yet to say what the Disney+ Premier Access numbers were for Cruella or Raya and the Last Dragon.)The visibility into Black Widow’s streaming revenue is indeed unprecedented, and I’m not sure if it’s going to continue; the most obvious explanation for Disney’s announcement is that it wanted to buttress the mystique of the Marvel brand by advertising a >$100 million opening weekend, even if this raises questions about just how successful it’s other streaming launches have been, both retroactively and going forward.What is worth highlighting is how few subscribers that big number requires: $60 million at $30 a pop is only 2 million homes, a fraction of Disney+ 103 million subscriber base. Moreover, Disney gets to keep all of the revenue, instead of sharing it with theater owners, which means those 2 million homes are particularly profitable.

Attention Men Who Are Struggling with Low Energy & Low Libido: You Can Get Your Spark Back If your male mojo is currently lost, this episode of the Awesome Health Podcast could change your life. There is nothing shameful about having “low-T” or “low testosterone” or any other hormone imbalance as a man. You did nothing wrong. Your endocrine system changed for some reason, which is something entirely out of your control. There are answers if you know where to look. Our guest in this episode, Saad Alam, wants you to know that you can feel like your old self again through his unique approach to hormone therapy. Saad experienced low testosterone firsthand and shared his personal story during this interview with our host Wade Lightheart. Saad knows what it's like to “feel sad all the time” and not understand why. He knows what it's like to lose your sex drive, causing relationship issues. He's been there and done that. And came out on the other side happier and more energized about life than ever before. Once he figured this out through a long and difficult journey, Saad decided to channel his entrepreneurial spirit into starting the Hone Health business, dedicated to offering dignified hormone therapies to men. Saad understands the “seedy” vibe surrounding men's hormone therapy. He knows that too much shady marketing, quackery, and cookie-cutter approaches tainted the male hormone therapy industry. This is why Saad dedicated his business to providing a comfortable, respectful service for men struggling with hormone challenges. Saad helps men by educating them on male hormone issues as well as providing therapies. Through education, you can find clarity on your condition and make better decisions about your needs. If you are feeling “off” these days, listen in as Wade and Saad go on a deep dive into the world of testosterone replacement therapy. In this podcast, we cover: Saad's journey from rugged athlete to ZERO energy and libido, then back to restored manhood How steroid scandals in professional sports confused men's perceptions about testosterone Other hormone therapies for men apart from testosterone How to navigate through the adjustment phases while receiving testosterone therapy How Saad has streamlined the hormone process, so you don't spend too much time and money Why men need to be careful who they get medical info from and avoid the “bro science” on social media Why men should monitor their hormone numbers regularly Why you need more than just a test result - finding out your hormone numbers is only the beginning. These days, a guy can go to a service like Lab Corp. and get their hormone levels lined out. That's fine. But what are you going to do with that information? Unless you're a medical professional, we don't advise you to try to figure it out through a Google search. As a man with hormone issues, you are likely to be dealing with some psychological issues. Saad says, “The psychological problems that result from all the changes are worse than the physical changes alone. Because all of a sudden, you are questioning yourself and your identity as a man. So much of a man's identity is wrapped up in providing for their family, taking care of aging parents, caring for children, being a role model for a younger sibling, building a business. All these things can hit you at once. You can get into a negative feedback loop where you question yourself over and over. Frankly, it messes with you. As guys, we are bad at admitting something is wrong.” Saad says he sees too many men who go five, ten, or fifteen years keeping their struggles to themselves until things get so bad they have to talk. If you think it's okay, this is what happens to men when you get to be 35 or 40 years old. Stop right there! No - it doesn't have to be like that at all. Saad says, “I'm blessed that so many of the people I get to see daily are ages 60, 70, or 80 years old, and they look like they're 30 to 45 years old. So much of this is a mindset. They think they're young, and they take care of themselves.” What was the trigger point for Saad when he knew something was wrong? At one point, Wade asks Saad what brought him to the point where he acknowledged there was something wrong, and he needed help? Saad said, “I've been very fortunate that I can juggle a lot of things all at once in my life. I've always gone home to see my family every other weekend, regardless of where I lived. And there came the point where I couldn't. I remember it was clearly in the back of my mind - something is off. But I can't figure out what is going on. But I couldn't figure out how all the concepts connected. I couldn't apply this idea to other subject matters, even though I knew applying this idea would make those other areas juicier.” “Then, on top of that, I was supposed to go see my family that weekend. And I remember I was planning to take my girl out to dinner, and I told her I couldn't do it because I don't have enough energy.” “All of a sudden, I thought, I'm that guy - something is wrong.” “I love reading, and one day I was reading something really valuable, something that excited me. But I couldn't grasp it. I couldn't put the pieces together. I knew the idea was brilliant. It was giving me a rush through my entire body.” “I knew I was sleeping well. So that wasn't the problem. At that point, I knew I needed to go figure it out. It was emotionally tough. When my first doctor told me nothing was wrong, and it was all in my head, it was devastating because he was a guy I trusted.” Saad saw 11 specialists in 6 months before he began finding answers. Now, he wants to help you find answers to your male hormone issues. There is much more to this conversation you don't want to miss. Ladies, if your man struggles with low libido, low energy, mood changes, or depression - tune in to this episode. And share it with someone who could use this great information. Saad shares his knowledge in a respectful, easy-to-digest way. Check out this episode - you CAN feel like a man again with the correct information!
