About the Author

Nelson Vergel, BsChE, MBA, is practicing what scientists can only theorize. He started testosterone replacement therapy in 1993 as a desperate attempt to survive and overcome wasting syndrome.  Testosterone gave him his health back which propelled him to become an expert on its use. After years of trial-and-error and self-empowerment, he is ready to share his knowledge with the world.  With a chemical engineering degree, countless of hours in scientific conferences and memberships in several metabolic research and wellness groups, he was been able to digest scientific information on the subject to translate it in layman's terms for all to benefit.  He is the co-author of the book "Built to Survive: A Comprehensive Guide to the Medical Use of Anabolic Therapies, Nutrition and Exercise for HIV+ Women and Men" and the founder the non-profit organizations Program for Wellness Restoration (PoWeR) and the Body Positive Wellness Clinic in Houston, Texas.   He has given over 700 lectures in English and Spanish in the United States and abroad about testosterone, nutrition, exercise, aging, and general wellness to men and women. To stay updated on Nelson's writings, visit ExcelMale.com
