You don't HAVE to spend hours in the gym to boost testosterone naturally.

Last year, mine was in the 200s - rock bottom.

Today, it's in the 600s.

Here's how I TRIPLED my testosterone with only 1-2 workouts per week. 🧵

@stackerco I felt pressured to tell mine because it was right before my oldest turned 8. I don’t think I could have avoided it, but wish I could have.

@stackerco This is great. I’ve been focusing on being present and making the most of every day. I also love the thought of encouraging my kids to stay curious and asking any questions they have and being a safe space for them.

@TimothyReigle I’ve got three daughters. Here’s my best advice:

Make sure they know they’re loved—every day. Not just in words, but in time, attention, and presence. A girl who’s secure in her father’s love won’t go chasing it in the wrong places.

@Tjonesonthenba And...taking Exum ahead of both Randle and Smart was the wrong pick.

@SaveYourSons Midnight? Bro that’s basically 3 a.m. in dad time. I need a recovery nap just reading this.

Might be a midlife crisis… but at least I’m wide awake for it this time.

Turning 40 is weird.
You still feel young—until you try to sprint, stay up past 10, or eat like you're 25.

Lately I’ve been asking questions I used to ignore:

Is this the healthiest version of me?
Do I love the work I’m doing—or just tolerate it?
Why does “free time” feel like a myth?

It’s not a breakdown.
It’s a wake-up call—with earlier bedtimes and a stronger sense of purpose.

What’s clear:
Time is my most limited—and most valuable—resource.

So I’m saying yes to the hard things:
Taking care of my health.
Starting something new instead of settling for “fine.”

Letting go of who I thought I should be by now—and focusing on who I want to become.

And most importantly—giving my family the best of me, not the burnt-out, stretched-thin version.

I’m building something new that I’m excited to share soon. For now, just grateful to be growing—with eyes wide open.

Here’s to the second half:

Clearer. Stronger. A little achier—but a lot more intentional.

@elonmusk A party that actually represents reason, respect, and results?

Yeah… feels overdue.

Let’s call it the “Don’t Be Crazy” party and get to work 🇺🇸😂

Played in a hospital-sponsored golf tournament today.

At one hole they served a burger called “The Heart Attack.”

Love to see the hospital taking a “hands-on” approach to job security.

Eat this now, meet our cardiologist later! 😂

Healthcare in America: where we cause the problem and bill you for the cure.

@JoyTantraBond @DrSuneelDhand Nice! Keep telling people. The narrative needs to change.

[Tyler - Optimal Man @Optimal_man]

@Life_Alignment_ All the above. I have been very surprised at the drastic results some of my friends have gotten. It needs to be a bigger part of healthcare.

[Tyler - Optimal Man @Optimal_man]

Most healthcare providers severely underestimate the power of lifestyle changes.

[Tyler - Optimal Man @Optimal_man]

@MaryAnnMarks_ 100%

[Tyler - Optimal Man @Optimal_man]

No drug can fix a broken lifestyle.

@DrBPHealth It’s crazy how confusing it is to read labels of processed foods.

[Tyler - Optimal Man @Optimal_man]

@drsimonegold Good first step—but it never should’ve been recommended in the first place.

Many of us raised concerns early and were dismissed.
Now that the truth is catching up, we can’t back down.
Accountability matters. Keep pushing.

Knocked out the Memorial Day Murph this morning.

1 mile run
100 pull-ups
200 push-ups
300 squats
1 mile run

All in honor of Lt. Michael P. Murphy—who gave his life in Afghanistan so we could live free.

Never forget the cost of freedom. 🇺🇸

After years at a stable job, I finally took the leap—I quit to chase a dream that’s been quietly burning in me for a long time.

I’m equal parts terrified and thrilled.
Anxiety asks “What if you fail?”
Excitement whispers, “But what if you fly?”

Here’s to the unknown. Let’s go!

[Tyler - Optimal Man @Optimal_man]

@DrShayanSen Me too. Glad there are other pharmacists and providers pushing for change!
