Sometimes the worst disruptions lead to the best innovations.
When COVID hit, Chas Gessner had built a thriving concierge medical clinic doing in-home hormone optimization across Southern California. Overnight, everything changed.
Instead of folding, he pivoted to a completely virtual telemedicine model—and scaled his impact beyond what he ever thought possible.
But here's what I love about Chas's story: His business didn't start from ambition. It started from necessity.
After 7-8 years in the NFL dealing with head trauma and physical wear-and-tear, Chas was experiencing hormone dysfunction in his late 20s—issues most men don't face until their 40s. Traditional healthcare offered band-aids. He wanted root causes.
So he reconnected with a naturopathic doctor from Brown, "popped the hood" on his labs, and discovered a lot was awry. That personal quest became Vitality RX, now helping thousands of men reclaim their energy, focus, and vitality.
In Get Yourself Optimized, Chas shares:
✅ Why the "normal" testosterone range is meaningless
✅ The difference between TRT and natural hormone optimization
✅ His complete sleep, supplement, and stress management protocol
✅ How to test and track what actually matters
If you've been feeling like you're just "getting older," this episode is required listening. Because what you're experiencing has a name—and a solution.🎧 Listen now!
