Nate's Journey is Impressive! Weight loss of >90 lbs and he put on lean muscle.

The Wake-Up Call

Nate’s health journey began with a humbling moment that he’ll never forget. At 272 pounds, joint pain made simple tasks like tying his shoes almost impossible unless he was seated. During a visit from his Marine son, the gap in their fitness levels became painfully clear. “We spared for a moment, and I had to stop because of a back injury. That was the moment I knew I needed to make a change,” Nate recalls. His son’s peak physical condition was a sharp contrast to Nate’s declining health, and it motivated him to take action—for himself and for his family.


The Ice Cream Diet and the Fasting Revelation

Nate’s first step was addressing his eating habits, which he describes as downright indulgent. “I could eat an entire container of ice cream without thinking twice,” he admits. Inspired by a coworker, he gave intermittent fasting a try. Starting with a 17-hour fast, Nate quickly realized that fasting alone wouldn’t work if he continued to eat junk afterward. Once he combined fasting with healthier food choices, the weight started coming off, but joint pain still made physical activity challenging.


Progress and Plateaus

Within four months of intermittent fasting, biking, and trying high-intensity interval training (HIIT), Nate managed to lose 40 pounds. But then he hit a frustrating plateau. “I tried weightlifting, but I just didn’t have the energy or ability to build muscle like I used to,” he says. This led Nate to suspect that low testosterone levels could be holding him back.


Finding Vitali-T: TRT - A Game-Changer

While researching his symptoms, Nate kept coming across the Vitali-T Clinic website. “Every time I Googled solutions, Vitali-T popped up,” he says. Intrigued, he decided to reach out and scheduled a consultation with Terry. After reviewing his lab results, Terry confirmed Nate’s suspicions: his testosterone levels were low, and this was likely impacting his energy, muscle-building ability, and overall progress.


“Terry didn’t just treat my symptoms—he came up with a personalized plan to get me back on track,” Nate explains. That plan included testosterone therapy and, later, tirzepatide to support further weight loss.


Facing the Needle (and His Fears)

Starting injections wasn’t easy for Nate, who admits to being needle-averse. “I was really anxious about it, but Terry reassured me every step of the way,” he shares. Nate started with abdominal injections, reasoning that the extra fat in that area would make the process less uncomfortable. “It turned out to be a lot easier than I expected,” he says.


Transformations and Triumphs

The real breakthrough came when Nate switched to intramuscular testosterone injections. The results were almost immediate. “My energy levels skyrocketed, I started building muscle, and my libido improved,” he says. Over the next eight months, Nate lost a staggering 90 pounds.


By the time of his Utah rock climbing trip, Nate felt like a new man. “I was running through the mountains, climbing rocks, and, for the first time in years, I had no joint pain. I even stopped taking my pain medications entirely,” he shares proudly.


Chasing New Goals

Having achieved his initial weight-loss goals, Nate turned his focus to muscle building. He partnered with a personal trainer, adjusted his nutrition, and began a regimen of nandrolone decanoate to support his new objectives. “My goal is to hit 220 pounds of lean muscle by summer 2025,” Nate says. “And honestly, my Marine son doesn’t even want to spar with me anymore—he knows I’d give him a run for his money!”


Advice for Others

Nate’s advice for anyone considering a similar journey is straightforward. “Start small and stay consistent. Don’t be afraid to ask for help—it makes all the difference,” he says. His story shows that no matter how daunting the road ahead may seem, success is possible with the right mindset and support system.


A Thank You to Vitali-T

Nate credits much of his success to the Vitali-T Clinic team. “Terry and the team gave me my life back. They didn’t just treat my symptoms—they gave me the tools to transform,” he says.


From struggling to perform everyday tasks to running through mountains pain-free, Nate’s journey is nothing short of remarkable. His story is a testament to resilience, expert care, and the power of determination to overcome life’s biggest hurdles.
