Meet Dr. Cameron Sepah

Cam, as we call him, competed as a track athlete. is a clinical psychologist, with a fellowship training in behavioral medicine, working at the intersection of psychology and medicine. He competed as a collegiate track athlete, racing in mid-distance to distance events. After his academic training (specializing in psychoneuroendocrinology amongst other fields) and publishing of several papers, he created Omada Health, an online weight loss program. All in all, he’s a clinician-scientist who’s treated people for over a decade. In addition, he’s an assistant clinical professor of psychiatry at the UCSF School of Medicine.

Maximus: Mind, Body, and Masculinity

Cam recently founded Maximus, a consumer telemedicine company for men’s health and hormone optimization. Using at-home blood testing and online coaching, Maximus has put together the King Protocol, which is a clinically-validated process to safely increase testosterone and vitality in men – even healthy and young men.

This is not testosterone replacement therapy — it’s testosterone restoration.

Prepare to learn about enclomiphene citrate

Jumping right to hormone optimization, Maximus utilizes enclomiphene citrate — the isomer from clomid that’s safer and more useful in men — to meaningfully boost testosterone levels anywhere from 1.5x to 2.5x. Combined with group health coaching for nutrition, exercise, sleep, and focus, alongside some adjunct supplements, Maximus is changing men’s lives at an astonishing rate.

The full show notes with timestamps are covered below – and we have a separate article detailing enclomiphene citrate.
