Exactly. And so I did what most engineers in Texas do. I got a job working for oil and gas. And I was very lucky to get a job working for a great company, Schlumberger, doing hydraulic fracturing as a fuel engineer. Now, working out in the fields is hard work. I have so much respect for the men and women out there that put their lives at risk to be able to give us energy that powers our society.

And so when I was out there, I saw so many injuries. And it was nine months in when my number was up. And I was lifting a heavy piece of pipe. And I lifted it the wrong way and ended up hemorrhaging several of my lower vertebrae in the process. So I couldn't work out in the field anymore, so I went into physical therapy.

And one of the chiropractors that was working with me noticed that I was very skinny for my age. Keep in mind, I'm 25 years old at the time, 5'10", and I weighed about 125 pounds. Just always been skinny my entire life. No matter how much I worked out, how much I ate, I couldn't gain any muscle whatsoever. I thought, that's the way it is. Those are my genetics.

Well, when this doctor took my blood, he noticed that I had the testosterone level of an 80-year-old man, which kind of described why I was so skinny my entire life, and why I couldn't get any muscle, and why I probably got injured, because I was lifting a very large piece of mass that my body could not support.

Yeah, yeah. And for men specifically, luteinizing hormone works on the leydig cells to produce testosterone and follicle stimulating hormone works on the serotoli cells within the testicle to produce sperm. And so I was hypogonadal and I was infertile. Yeah. And well, it became fun afterwards. Once I got my first medication from a compounding pharmacy, and this is another very lucky part.
