Nelson Vergel’s story is one of resilience, perseverance, and an unrelenting drive to defy the odds. In the mid-1980s, he was handed what many would have considered a death sentence—an HIV diagnosis at a time when there were no effective treatments, no clear answers, and little hope. Today, he is a beacon of knowledge and empowerment for those seeking to take control of their health, whether they are dealing with wasting conditions, hormone deficiencies, or simply aiming for peak performance. Nelson has spent decades researching and advocating for hormone health, muscle preservation, and medical autonomy, particularly for those facing wasting conditions like HIV and cancer. His work has helped shape the conversation around androgen therapies, the role of anabolic agents in aging, and the intersection of GLP-1 medications with muscle loss. We cover: Nelson's personal journey from an HIV diagnosis to hormone optimization The history, misconceptions and stigma surrounding anabolic agents The differences between various anabolic agents and how they work The impact of GLP-1 medications on lean mass and how to mitigate muscle loss Best practices for hormone monitoring and optimization If you want to hear an inspiring story of overcoming the odds to take control of your own health or you’re curious about anabolic therapies and longevity, you can’t miss this one. Who is Nelson Vergel? Nelson Vergel is a chemical engineer, author, and health advocate who has made significant contributions to men's health and hormone optimization. His most recent book, Beyond Testosterone, provides a detailed color guide to educate clinicians and patients about the latest advances in the use of testosterone, anabolics, and other therapies to maximize health and productivity.

Misinformation in nutrition is rampant. From demonizing red meat to hyping plant-based diets, conflicting advice has left many people confused about what’s truly evidence-based. In this episode, I am joined by Dr. Bradley Johnston , an expert in evidence-based nutrition and public health policies, to separate fact from fiction. With nearly 200 peer-reviewed publications, Dr. Johnston has challenged conventional wisdom—including recommendations from major organizations like the World Health Organization. He shares how evidence-based practices should guide our dietary choices, the importance of systematic reviews and meta-analyses, and how cognitive biases influence the research we trust. Key Points: How evidence-based guidelines are formed—and why they sometimes change The three pillars of evidence-based practice and why patient values matter Why most nutrition studies aren’t as strong as we think—and how to critically evaluate them What the best available research actually says about dietary patterns for longevity The role of AI in research and whether it’s a help or hindrance to scientific rigor If you’ve ever questioned dietary guidelines, nutrition headlines, or conflicting health advice, this episode is a must-listen. Get ready to rethink everything you thought you knew about nutrition. Who is Dr. Bradley Johnston? Dr. Bradley Johnston is an Associate Professor at Texas A&M University, specializing in evidence-based nutrition, and the methodology of patient-reported outcomes, randomized clinical trials, systematic reviews, and clinical and public health practice guidelines. With a PhD in experimental medicine from the University of Alberta and post-doctoral training in evidence-based practice, epidemiology and biostatistics from Oxford and McMaster University, his research focuses on advancing human health research methodology to improve clinical and dietary practice recommendations and public health policies. He co-leads EvidenceBasedNutrition.org and NutriRECS, develops nutrition education resources (e.g. Nutrition Users’ Guides), and currently serves as Co-Chair of the Canadian Pediatric Obesity Management Guidelines, ensuring clinical and public health guidelines are backed and transparently supported by the best available evidence, including end user values and preferences, absolute estimates of effect and the certainty of evidence for estimates of effect. His overall aim is to empower patients, clients and members of the public to make fully-informed health care decisions based on the central tenets of evidence-based practice and policy.
