How I Unf*cked My Testosterone Without TRT (After Beating Cancer).

The playbook for men over 40 who refuse TRT and pill dependence — who want to reclaim their power in the boardroom, the bedroom, and beyond.

Most men over 40 think low testosterone is “just aging.”

That’s a lie.

Low testosterone is not age. It’s:

• Poor circadian rhythm

• Processed food supply

• Environmental toxins

• Over- or under-training

• Poor stress management

• A messed up gut (gas and bloating are not normal)

• Awful sleep quality (waking-up 2-5x a night is not normal)

The medical system’s solution?

Hand you a TRT script and call it a “fix.”

But what they’re really doing is hooking you into chemical dependency for life… without actually helping you get to the root cause of why your testosterone is low in the first place.

I know this because I’ve lived the other path.

My Story

I’ve lived this.

After cancer, my testosterone tanked.

The fatigue, the brain fog, the doubt, the anxiety… it all came crashing in.

But the hardest part wasn’t the exhaustion.

It was waking up and not feeling dangerous anymore.

Not feeling like a man.

I’ll never forget the way my (former) girlfriend used to look at me.

She never said a word but I knew she felt the difference. That look cut deeper than anything the doctors told me.

That was the moment I said enough.

I wasn’t going to hide behind cancer anymore.

I wasn’t going to accept being a shadow of myself.

So I went searching.

Nine years… Tens of thousands spent on “experts”.. and every mistake you can make, I made it.

But eventually, I figured it out.

I rebuilt my testosterone to 865 ng/dL naturally without TRT, drugs, or pill dependency.

(The pic below shows 30.22 nmol/L.. that translates to 865 ng/dL).

That system became the foundation of my elite concierge coaching service.

And since then, I’ve worked with dozens of 7- and 8-figure CEOs.

Guys who weren’t lazy… Guys who weren’t weak… They were disciplined, driven men…

But they were stuck.

Stuck with weight they couldn’t lose.

Stuck with energy that kept crashing.

Stuck in the bedroom, wondering what the hell happened to their drive.

Their problem was never effort… It was clarity.

Why Most Men Fail to Fix Their Testosterone

I’ve spent nearly a decade buried in this problem.

Tens of thousands spent on consultants… Hundreds of books… Dozens of protocols tested on myself and my clients.

And here’s the truth:

Most of what passes as “fitness advice” is flat-out wrong for men over 40.

Not just unhelpful but outright destructive. That’s why disciplined men stay stuck.

It’s not their effort. It’s the system.

Here are the biggest lies I’ve observed that keep men trapped:

1. Calorie Counting = Starvation Mode

It turns you neurotic. It warps your view of food (you look at it like a calculator, not for its nutrient density). It tanks your metabolism, spikes cortisol, and eats away at your hormones. You can’t starve your way back to masculinity.

2. Keto = Cortisol Poison

Doing Low-carb long-term wrecks thyroid conversion, wrecks sleep, and drives estrogen and stress up. It’s a survival diet, not a thriving diet (In 5 months, my cholesterol levels more than doubled doing Keto, which is a robust marker of poor thyroid function).

3. Skipping Breakfast = Hormonal Suicide

It might make sense to a 25-year-old biohacker, but for men over 40 it wrecks your cortisol, it upsets your circadian rhythm, it ruins your leptin and ghrelin signalling, and it leads to permanent crashes in afternoon energy and poor sex drive.

4. Endless Cardio (Especially early in the morning) = Testosterone Killer

It raises cortisol, burns muscle, and signals your body to conserve… not build. Too many men are either training too hard, too early in the day or they’re not moving enough at all (optimal is somewhere in-between).

5. Synthetic “Test Boosters” = Toxic Placebos

Zinc tablets, vitamin D3, fish oil, boron… cheap, synthetic junk that either does nothing or backfires. All minerals and vitamins work best when they work synergistically with one another. So taking them in isolation is like stripping the violins out of an orchestra and still calling it music. You can pretend it’s complete, but the harmony is broken… the performance falls flat.

6. Low-Fat Diets = No Raw Material

Without cholesterol, your body physically cannot make testosterone. Period.
That’s like trying to forge steel without fire. You’ve got the ore, you’ve got the tools, but without the essential fuel, nothing ever takes shape.

7.Overtraining = Masculine Drain

Grinding yourself into the ground (especially early in the morning or late at night) kills recovery and sends your hormones into freefall. It’s like revving your engine in the red every single day. For a while it screams with power, until it seizes, and you’re left stranded on the roadside (low libido, no energy and burned out).

8. TRT = Dependency for Life

I’m not anti-TRT but for 99% of men, low testosterone is merely lifestyle dysfunction disguised as a testosterone problem. And although TRT works well in some men, for others it does nothing and in some cases the side effects can be pretty debilitating. It shuts down natural T production, shrinks your testicles, and locks you into dependency for a long-time. It’s like pulling the plug on your own power plant and renting electricity from the grid. It works, but the bills never stop, and you’ll never own your energy again.

9. “Health Foods” = Estrogen Bombs

Seed oils, soy, and processed garbage sold as “clean eating” or “low calorie” quietly ruin your hormones. There have (ironically) almost no nutrient density. It’s like pouring sugar into a gas tank. It looks harmless going in, until the whole engine corrodes from the inside.

10. Quick Fix Mindset = Permanent Failure

If you chase hacks instead of fixing the system, you’ll always end up doing loops like a dog chasing its own tail.. and back at square one. It’s like putting duct tape on a leaking dam. It buys you a moment of false security… right before the flood wipes you out.

I’ve watched this pattern play out over and over… in myself, and in dozens of CEOs I’ve coached.

Men who weren’t lazy…

Men who weren’t undisciplined…

Men who had the money, the willpower, and the drive…

But were still stuck… Why?

Because they were sold the wrong map.

Trying to fix your testosterone with mainstream advice is like trying to patch a leaking roof by repainting the walls.

It looks like progress, but the real damage only gets worse.

That’s why most men keep grinding, keep spending, keep hoping… and still wake up with low energy, belly fat, and fading drive.

Because they’ve been attacking the symptoms, not the system.

The New Playbook

That’s why I built the High-T CEO Operating System.

Not another “biohack” fad…

Not a dopamine-hit protocol you’ll abandon next week…

But the field manual I wish I had a decade ago…

Forged and refined from hundreds (if not thousands) of mistakes and now ruthlessly tested on men who actually have something to lose.

Inside, you’ll find:

• Biomarkers and rhythms that matter (the few numbers you must track if you want to command your hormones using optimal ranges, not sick-care ranges).

• Nutrition strategies that fuel testosterone, not fight it (no starvation, no carb-phobia, no neurotic food scales).

• Strength training built for men over 40 (protects your joints and longevity while still driving androgen output).

• Sleep warfare tactics (reclaim mornings with the energy and libido of your former 29-year-old self).

• Toxicity resets (strip out the hidden killers of testosterone buried in your daily environment).

For the right man, it really is simple and it’s truly sustainable. And most importantly… it works.

But I say “right man” because it isn’t for everyone.

If you’re chasing shortcuts, you’ll hate it.

If you expect results without changing your habits, don’t bother.

If you want a magic pill, stick with the fake “test boosters.”

This playbook is for men who are done making excuses.

Men who would rather do the uncomfortable work now than spend the next decade shrinking into weakness.

I’ll be honest.. it’s not easy… it does require discipline… but it sure as hell is absolutely worth it.

And deep down, you already know which man you are.

Proof

Take Jared, 52.

A disciplined, successful man… but stuck.

• Dragging through afternoons.

• Watching his sex drive disappear.

• Seeing his body soften no matter how hard he worked.

We stripped away the noise and rebuilt the basics.

In 90 days, he dropped 20 pounds, stabilized his energy, and revived his honeymoon-level libido.

No TRT and no pill dependency. Just simple, sustainable shifts that gave him back is biological dominance.

And that’s the key… the men who follow this framework don’t just feel better. They gain back status.

They regain authority over themselves, their families, and their businesses.

That’s real testosterone. And Jared isn’t the only one…

And Jared isn’t the only one…

Mark Follet, 47 (one of Australia’s leading CEOs), now looking and feeling more dangerous than ever after enhancing his testosterone naturally without TRT, synthetics, or dependency.

Kieran Drew (a 7-figure entrepreneur) who conquered years of brutal sleep issues and built a move-star physique, naturally maximizing testosterone without TRT, synthetics or pill dependency.

Different men… Different starting points… But the same outcome: clarity, power, and results that stick.

Dozens of men from seasoned CEOs to driven entrepreneurs and executives.

Different industries, different bodies, same system. When the inputs are right, the results are predictable.

Who It’s For (and Who It’s Not)

If you’re a man over 40 … disciplined, driven, but tired of watching your biology slip away… this is for you.

If you’re lazy, waiting for a magic pill, or unwilling to execute?

Skip it. Nothing here will save you.

This system isn’t easy… It isn’t instant.. but if you stay consistent, it works. Every time.

And the men who run it?

They don’t just “feel better.” They rise.

Their wives notice… Their teams notice… And most importantly… they notice.

A proud man walks differently.

That sharp, commanding energy you had in your late 20s and 30s?

It doesn’t just return… it comes roaring back.

And the truth is, it’ll blow your mind how small, simple changes can unlock shifts that dramatic.

The Cost of Doing Nothing

Let’s cut straight to it.

This system is the distilled result of 10+ years of research, tens of thousands spent on world-class consultants, and more mistakes than I can count.

It’s the exact same philosophy and framework I use with my private clients…

7- and 8-figure CEOs who invest between $6,000 and $15,000 for access, guidance, and accountability.

You’re getting it all for $99.

That’s less than a steak dinner. And $1,901 less than the average annual TRT subscription (which, by the way, keeps you dependent for a long-time).

Why so low?

Because I don’t want money to be your excuse. The only filter is discipline.

And I’ll make this risk-free:

If you run the playbook for 90 days and don’t see a shift in your energy, body, or drive… email me (help@thehightceo.com) and I’ll refund you in full.

If $99 makes you hesitate, this isn’t for you.

If you’re serious, the path is right here:

And then, one quick ask before you go:

If this resonated, and you feel other men could benefit, don’t keep it to yourself. Consider sharing it so the right men see it.
