0:00I live in the same house. I train in the

0:01same gym. I follow the same program. I

0:03have the same partner. I walk the same

0:05dog. And I'll be honest, even my diet

0:07pretty much the same. I could sit here

0:09and go, I started following a new

0:11training program. Swipe up to get it.

0:12Oh, I started periodizing my workouts

0:15and I started using a certain diet

0:17strategy that I can share with you, but

0:18the only thing that changed was the

0:19amount of circulating testosterone in my

0:21bloodstream. That's it. I've even had a

0:23child in this period, so my sleep is way

0:25worse. The point I want to make clear in

0:27the onset is that every single input has

0:29remained near about the same, but the

0:31output has been vastly different. I feel

0:33better. I have more energy. My libido is

0:35like I'm 10 years younger. I have more

0:37motivation. I have more drive. But the

0:38point I want to make clear is the

0:39version of me before, even though I

0:41don't look that great. I was still fine.

0:42I still could work. I still could get

0:44up. I wasn't depressed. I didn't have

0:46low mood. I was still trying to work as

0:47hard as I could. And funny enough, that

0:49older version of me was trying all these

0:50things on YouTube, whether it was ice

0:52baths, whether it was peptides. In my

0:53head, I thought I was just trying to be

0:54creative on YouTube, but actually I was

0:56just trying to find a way to feel

0:57better, to reclaim my youth in some way.

0:59And I'd come to the point of thinking,

1:01you know what? This is just how life is.

1:03And then I started using a TRT service.

1:05If you were to ask me whether I really

1:06needed a TRT service or that I wanted a

1:09TRT service, I'd probably say that I sit

1:11somewhere in the middle. And I don't

1:12think there's any shame in that. Now,

1:13although my journey I would say has been

1:15great, something happened that I didn't

1:17anticipate. It wouldn't just be my own

1:18journey. two, three months into using

1:20the TRT service, my friends, my family

1:22like, "Go get your bloods checked. Go do

1:24a blood test. Send me your results." And

1:26if their results look pretty good, I'd

1:27be like, "Come on, mate. Sleep better.

1:29Clean up your diet. Get training more."

1:30But then my friends who had low results,

1:32I was like, "You need to go talk to an

1:34organization that's going to help you

1:35with this and manage it. You should try

1:37doing what I'm doing. You should try

1:39different interventions to increase your

1:40levels of testosterone." I was pretty

1:42much spending my days helping other

1:43people to the best I could. And if you

1:45look back at my career, it's always been

1:47me making a business out of the one

1:49thing I'm doing. When I worked in

1:50corporate, I used to write people's

1:52programs and train people in the gym.

1:53They're like, "Bro, become a PT." Then I

1:55became a PT, started an online PT

1:56business, which morphed into all kinds

1:58of other different businesses. And then

1:59I started another business educating

2:01people about how to do that. So, I moved

2:02my own journey to this point where I'm

2:04absolutely loving life and now I just

2:06want to find thousands of men that have

2:07got low levels of testosterone and show

2:09them the right path to feeling better

2:11like I do. Now, if you want to start

2:12your own TRT service, it's very

2:14difficult. There's red tape, there's

2:15doctors, it's a minefield. It was way

2:16too complex. I just don't have the time,

2:18energy, or resources to do that. So, I

2:20looked to invest in a partner. And the

2:21company I've invested into is Manuel.

2:23Now, you might know Manual from doing

2:25hair transplants. I believe yesterday

2:26they just did Joe Marers. And I know

2:28what you're thinking, James. Maybe you

2:29needed them a little bit sooner before

2:31partnering with them. Sure. But one

2:33thing I know for sure is that Manuel is

2:34on a mission to help men with low

2:36testosterone seek the treatment

2:37necessary to make them feel better.

2:38That's where I come in. content, my own

2:40personal experiences, education,

2:42breaking down stigma, all the things

2:44I've done throughout my entire career,

2:45but this time with men in mind. And some

2:46people out there are going to go, "Oh,

2:48James, started a bit of TRT. Now you've

2:50become an advocate. I've been speaking

2:51out for years about women doing HRT and

2:53looking at hormone replacement therapy

2:55through menopause." I've always been a

2:56big advocate of people leaning on

2:58pharmaceutical interventions as they get

3:00older, and it's no different here. Now,

3:01I'm going to lay it out for you and be

3:03completely honest. The mission to some

3:04of my content moving forward is going to

3:06be empowering men to make the decision

3:08to get a blood test. I do not get paid

3:10or any commission to do so. I don't get

3:12paid to mention manual. And as an

3:13investor, I only benefit if manual do

3:15well. And manual only do well if they

3:17help men with low testosterone that want

3:19treatment. This is not the case like

3:22many other offers that I've had across

3:23the years of, "Hey, James, we'll give

3:25you 10K if you can promote our

3:26business." It's not it. For some of you

3:27out there, you will do the blood test

3:29and you won't have low testosterone. And

3:30you might think that's a wasted

3:31opportunity or a waste of money, but

3:32it's not. I'll tell you why. The sad

3:34reality for every man watching this is

3:35that your testosterone will decline by

3:37about 1% every single year. And when I

3:39got my readings of low testosterone that

3:41qualified me for using a TRT service,

3:43people said to me, "But James, this is a

3:44decision that you're going to have to

3:46take for life." I said, "Yeah, but hold

3:47on a minute. I'm 36, and if my situation

3:50is only going to get worse, worse

3:51energy, worse mood, worse composition,

3:53worse libido." It was never a question

3:55of if, it was a question of when. If not

3:56at 36, it would probably be 38 or 40. So

3:59what? I'm going to wait four more years

4:01in my peak period of my life before

4:03addressing a problem and a way that I'm

4:05feeling. That doesn't make any sense.

4:06When I have toothache, I go to the

4:08dentist. The second I have toothache,

4:10I'm like, "Yo, I don't want to deal with

4:11this anymore." The idea of putting off a

4:13test a few more years to have the virtue

4:14of saying, "Oh, I waited till I was 45

4:16to use the TRT service." It's like

4:18waiting till your toothache gets so bad

4:19you got to have the tooth pulled. I know

4:20some people are going to think that I'm

4:21a sellout. Some people are going to see

4:23this as my first brand endorsement. Some

4:25people are going to say whatever it is

4:27they're going to say. But I'll be

4:28honest, at the end of all of this, even

4:29if there's just a few thousand men with

4:31low testosterone that can seek treatment

4:33and get half the benefits I have in the

4:34last 12 months, for me, that's

4:35completely worth it. One day, I'll be

4:37having a chicken and bacon prep baguette

4:39in a corner of London. Someone will come

4:41and give me a fist bump and go, "James,

4:42thank you for your YouTube content,

4:43mate. It helped me make a decision to

4:45start using the TRT service." I go,

4:46"Good on you, mate." Underneath this

4:48video, there's going to be a link in the

4:49description where you can find out more

4:50information about my investment into

4:51manual, how you can get a blood test,

4:53and how this journey could potentially

4:54look for you. Hopefully for many of you

4:56like me, you're 12 months away from

4:58feeling vastly better. And if you're not

4:59interested, it's also completely fine.
