Over the last 10 years of obsessing over testosterone and male optimization, I’ve made every mistake you can imagine.

But the biggest?

I chased a number.

Back when I first started this journey, there were only a few of us online digging into natural T optimization. Today, it feels like every guy on social media is claiming to be a “T expert” with some secret to hitting 1000+ ng/dL.

But here’s what most of them won’t tell you:

High testosterone means nothing if your body isn’t responding to it.

I’ve worked with guys who had textbook-perfect T levels—1400, even 2000 ng/dL—but felt like crap:

No energy
Low libido
Poor muscle growth
Brain fog
Irritability and burnout

And I’ve worked with guys sitting at 300 ng/dL who felt strong, driven, focused, and sexually alive.

The difference?

Androgen sensitivity.

In Part 1 of my new series, I break down what this actually means—and why focusing on “testosterone levels” alone is a rookie mistake (even if the number sounds impressive).

You’ll also read real case studies of guys who:

Transformed without raising their T
Had sky-high T but no results
Fixed the root causes and saw everything improve

If you care about long-term results—not gimmicks or hacks—you’ll want to read this.
