NotBrokenProject has Become YouAreBroken
YouAreBroken is a podcast about male dysfunction — not to cure it, but to confront it. We’re not here to optimize you. We’re here to expose the cycle: Endless self-hacking Fake recoveries Reddit-based masculinity Goon loops, libido cults, and hormonal cosplay We explore what happens when male identity collapses into protocols, peptides, and performance metrics — and no one stops to ask why. This isn’t medical advice. It’s post-crash commentary. A diagnosis of a digital generation that thinks testosterone is a personality and shame is something you can stack your way out of.

Episode 18 marks a shift. A break. A burn-it-down moment.
You thought this was about optimization. Hormones. Healing.
It’s not.
It’s about dysfunction dressed up in acronyms, stacks, and cycles.

Episode Description:
In this kickoff to the new direction of The Not Broken Project, we dive into the world of bro science — the underground advice culture that lives on Reddit, TikTok, YouTube, and Discord.

Nick breaks down the mentality behind “send it” culture, the illusion of control through anecdo...

Chapter Description:
This final entry in our testosterone series takes a hard, honest look at what happens when TRT stops being exciting — and starts becoming exhausting.

Episode 14: TRT 102 – The Real Risks, Rewards, and What Happens After 60

They said Peyronie’s disease was for older men. But what if they were wrong?

Title: Gatekeeping
Description:
Why is it so hard for men to get help? Why does the healthcare system still dismiss men who ask for hormone testing or treatment?

EPISODE 10 — “They Said I Was Normal. I Wasn’t.”
When a man starts to slip—when the energy fades, the muscle melts, the edge disappears—he goes to the doctor. And too often, he gets the same answer: "You're fine… for your age."
This episode cuts through that lie.
We ask the real questions:
- Is TRT dangerous?
- What about heart attack or stroke?
- Does it actually ...
What happens after surgery, after shame, after collapse? In this episode of the Not Broken Project, we shift from recovery to reinvention—focusing on muscle, testosterone, and the fight to stay strong as we age.

We also dig into v...
Episode 8 – The New Normal
The surgery is behind you. The healing is done. Now comes the part no one prepares you for—life with the implant as your new reality. In this episode, we talk about what it really means to live day to day with a mechanical penis: how it looks, how it feels, how it functions, and how it becomes part of your identity. No more bending. No more pain. But no more going fully soft either. You’...
Episode 7: The Things I Didn’t Say
In this episode, Nick finally opens the vault. He talks candidly about what happened when his first implant failed—less than a year after surgery. He explains how he discovered the device had been recalled, why no one told him, and what it really cost—financially, physically, emotionally. From $135,000 in hospital billing to a rep who never filed a warranty claim, this is the unf...
Podcast Episode 6: When the Lights Come Back On—Life After the Implant
You made the decision. The surgery is done. But no one prepared you for what happens next—the new flaccid reality, the constant awareness, the fight to accept a body that feels unfamiliar. In this episode, we talk about the truth no one tells you after a penile implant. From concealing it under your clothes to figuring out how to use a urinal a...
Episode 5: The First Month
What they don’t tell you after penile implant surgery: you wake up 100% inflated — and stay that way for five days. You go home like that, bruised, swollen, and trying to navigate your life with a fully erect penis until your surgeon deflates you. Then the real adjustment begins.
This episode walks through the physical and emotional reality of the first month: pain management, urinat...
Episode 4 – The Turning Point: When Surgery Becomes the Only Option
After years of false hope and failed treatments for Peyronie’s disease, I reached the point no one wants to talk about—surgery.

We talk about implants—not as a last re...
Episode 3 – Still Standing
When the treatments don’t work—and the curve keeps getting worse—what do you do?
In this episode, we dig into the painful reality behind Peyronie’s disease treatments: from overpriced creams and failed injections to the brutal truth about Xiaflex.

Not Broken Project Episode #2 THE SHAME
Episode 2 – The Shame No One Sees
In this powerful episode of the Not Broken Project podcast, host Nick dives deep into one of the most hidden and painful realities men face—shame after sexual loss.
