7 Day Vulnerability Challenge!!!!!!!
We are a community of like minded men and women who are looking for new ideas, inspiration, networking with peers, personal growth and professional development. With that being said, I was inspired this morning to take the 7 day vulnerability challenge. Two years ago I launched and education outreach, Testosterone The New Drug Addiction. I have talked to thousands of people across the country who have become addicted to testosterone or their significant others have been prescribed testosterone and have become a different person. This was me February 15, 2015.Read More
Charlie Sheen “More Than Two and Half Men”
You probably have your opinions about Charlie Sheen and his behavior that’s okay; hang with me on this one. Sheen talked to Dr. Oz about how he was using too much testosterone cream. “It was really that whole post-Two and a Half meltdown. That was a very specific period of time that did feel very out of body and very, just detached from all things real,” Sheen says in the episode, according to an advance transcript provided to PEOPLE. “I felt superhuman during some of that. It was a lot ofRead More
Steroid and Testosterone Addicts Anonymous Starts TODAY!
On Monday I received a call from a woman, this is one of many calls I get. She said, “Lisa, I follow your website and subscribe to your blog. My husband was on testosterone and his levels were 4x what they should have been. One of his doctors told us with those levels along with another medical condition he would have no control over his behavior.” A year and half ago I made the decision to go public with what is one of the biggest emerging addictions we have seenRead More
Testosterone-Sandy’s Story
When I introduced Steroid and Testosterone Addicts Anonymous to a group therapists and behavioral health professionals this week, I received an overwhelming response. Three therapists, who have patients addicted to steroids in the form of testosterone, said their patients’ lives had become a shambles. During the past year and a half I have spoken with thousands of people, some who have told me about a spouse who uses testosterone and how it has negatively affected their relationships. One said, “My husband started taking testosterone and he became an angry, aggressiveRead More
“I became a sex addict.”
Last week on my drive to the office, my mind was all over the place. “Lisa, why are you doing this testosterone addiction recovery advocacy? Just let it go, what is the purpose, why in the world would I want to open myself up and expose who I am, what am I thinking, who do I think I am.” Then just like that, I get a private message in one of my Facebook forums, titled. “I went to Dr. Kathy Maupin and I became a Sex addict.” Dr. Maupin isRead More
Look at that Face
Look at that face! That’s what Donald Trump said about his rival Carly Fiorina in his campaign for President. While he uses his mouth like boxing gloves and his speech is generally aggressive, Carly Fiorina remains calm in the wake of insults and criticism. Is their behavior a difference in gender? Martian men, Venusian women. No. It’s their personalities. But I want to warn what happens when personalities change and those changes are caused by overdosing on testosterone replacement therapy. And you can see it their faces. Today’s buzzword forRead More
Testosterone Overdosing
This past year has been a life changing, profound experience. I walked the plank. I put myself out there. I became vulnerable to my core by sharing my story with testosterone replacement therapy and creating an advocacy that did not exist. It has humbled me, challenged me and empowered me. Now, a year later, I know I need to continue this journey even more so. In the past two weeks I have met two women both who have been overdosing on testosterone and one of my friends who sharedRead More
Addiction Research-GoFundME
Testosterone replacement therapy is a multi-billion dollar industry. Entrepreneurs and physicians are capitalizing on the human desire to look and stay young. Most of us in this country are aware that our medical profession is in a state of creative destruction, from the Affordable Healthcare controversy to the actual practice of medicine, resulting in physicians and entrepreneurs “going rogue.” I created a website called www.testosteroneaddiction.com with the purpose of informing and educating men and women about the addictive nature of testosterone drug therapy. What was once an underground drug for bodyRead More
Addiction
A year and a half ago I came up with an idea, Testosterone, The New Drug Addiction. I knew I was on to something. As I was doing my research, I contacted the head of endocrinology with a major medical company. When he picked up the phone the first words out of his mouth were, “Lisa WE NEED YOU.” Tears started streaming down my face. My response, “You mean I am not a crazy woman.” He said NO, this is a big problem and its only getting worse. I amRead More
