She was like, yeah. We didn't have any kids at the time. So she was like, yeah, let's do it. And so sure enough, he sent me the shots. It was therapeutic testosterone, like 60, 70 milligrams a shot, three shots a week. And I started taking it. And he was exactly right. Like seven or eight weeks later, I felt like a new man, dude. I mean, I was literally private pile, reborn again hard.
And I went to see him. I went to see him. And he was like, OK, I'm going to take you off. I was like, whoa, whoa. I'm not coming off this, like this is life changing. So at that point, I just became this like, you know, voracious student of testosterone, hormones, you know, underground performance enhancement. Peptides was like three or four years later when Ipamrelin came into the scene.
And so I just became this like super student. And at that time, Dylan, you remember it was everything on the Internet was first off. The Internet then was was was curated. It was only people like me and you. There were no fucking retards on the Internet. It was really smart people sharing awesome information and nobody used their real name. You remember those days we all had handles. Right.
So it's like I learned from amazing, super smart bros and chicks. who were really just down this path of biohacking themselves, real OG biohackers. And so I learned about peptides, I learned about therapeutic hormones. About 11 years passed and a lot of my people in my inner circle were just like, hey dude, you know so much about therapeutic hormones, you need to write a book on this.
And obviously I had a very impressive physique. And so whenever people would ask me, by the way, you know, you look great. What do you do? I'd say, oh, I use therapeutic testosterone. And at that point in time, this is like in the mid 2000s, you know, people, mid to late 2000s, people would look at you and be like, steroids. Or they would be like, wow, that's fascinating. Tell me more.
And so the fascinating tell me more people kind of won out. And eventually I decided to write a book. This is going, I'm fast forwarding now to about 14 years later in 2012. And I reached out to Rick Collins, who's a friend of both of us. And I said, hey, Rick, like, and he didn't know me from that. I mean, I was a nobody.
I was at that time, my wife and I owned a residential real estate team still in Southern California. And we were modestly successful. But, you know, I had written a white paper because I'd known so much about testosterone and I sent it to him in an email and the guy, you know, being Rick, he's such an amazing guy. He didn't know me and didn't have to, but he responded right away.
And I asked him, I said, what would happen if somebody like me, who's not a non-medically licensed person. would write a book on therapeutic testosterone. What would be the risks? And so he emailed me back. And first off, he said, hey, your white paper, because I had a position paper, it was like six or seven pages, is really good. This is impressive. He says, but I got to be honest with you.
There's a chance that you could get in trouble if a senator decided to go after you and looked into you and found out that you were using, you know, underground testosterone or whatever, then, you know, it could be a case against you. So he kind of scared me, but it was just typical legal talk.
At the same time, I sent the same white paper to Nelson Virgil, who is the author of Testosterone, A Man's Guide. And then Rick, not Rick, but Bill Llewellyn, the guy that wrote the Anabolic Steroid Handbooks. Never heard from Bill until years later, but about four months later – and by the way, I shut it down as soon as Rick said what he said.
Nelson Vergel sent an email to me, and he was actually in his native country of Venezuela, and it was the middle of the night. And he said, I don't know who you are, but your paper is amazing. I want to talk to you. You need to put this book into the world. And I still, I mean, I always tell the story because I remember where I was with my wife. It was like the changing moment of my life.
We were coming back from a listing appointment and the email came in. It was like 9.30 in the morning. We had an early morning listing appointment. It was from him. And I said, holy shit, Nelson Vergel wants to talk to me. And she's like, who's Nelson Vergel? She didn't know, you know. And I'm like, well, just when we get home, I'll call him and, you know, we'll talk to him.
And so anyway, I called him and he was like, hey, I really want you to write this book. I can help you. I can coach you.
don't worry about rick he's just being an overprotective attorney blah blah blah and so he helped me and basically helped me write the book and it was the first book came out a year later it was called the definitive trt manual it blew up on amazon it was you know international bestseller did really well a lot of people used it especially doctors
And I had some doctors that coached me, you know, and gave me a lot of obviously insight in, you know, certain things about, you know, lab ranges and stuff like that. And it just made the book much more scientific and medical and clinically. But it did really, really well. And, you know, to fast forward a very long story from there, I started making rounds at like medical conferences.
I started eventually getting like becoming a guest lecturer, a guest presenter. And then I wrote a bunch of other books, dude. And then, you know, the internet blew up, I think, in like 2017, 2018. I started my podcast. I left this off. I did launch a website in 2014 called TRT Nation. Not TRT Nation. TRT Revolution. I'm thinking of T Nation, but TRT Revolution.
Eventually, we changed the domain to TOT because it was TRT, testosterone replacement therapy, to testosterone optimization therapy. And very shortly, within two years, the website was getting like 17,000 to 19,000 people visiting a month. It was like the number one site online for testosterone information. And so I decided when that was happening to also launch a podcast.
And that was, again, like, I want to say it launched in early 2015 or late 2014. I can't remember. I'm sure I could go back on my website and find out. But it was a good 10-year run. And eventually I went to Peru in 2019, right before COVID. And I had a transformational experience. I didn't do plant medicine or anything, even though I've done that a lot of times in my life. I didn't do that.
I just had this amazing experience with my wife and two other people, another couple that went with us from our real estate team. And I just decided, bro, on the way back that I was going to change the brand from TOT Revolution to J-Camp. Because I was like, at that point, I'm like, you know what? I'm so much more than just this testosterone guy.
There's way more about me and I don't want to be pigeonholed into testosterone. And a lot of people that were in my circles, some of the people that work for me technologically were like, dude, you're insane. You've got this huge brand that you're building. You're the TRT guy. Everybody knows you for that. You can't do that. You're going to jump the shark.
