I Noah Thomas, the creator of this channel, have been diagnosed hypogonadism by a medical doctor and legally prescribed the medically indicated treatment of Testosterone Replacement Therapy.
My Story
My name is Noah and on May 18 2011, I had a rare reaction to a medication called VIVITROL and consequently, spiraled into a suicidal depression with depersonalization and anxiety. I lost 25 lbs in 4 weeks and was in full panic or near panic for 8 weeks straight mixed with the darkest most painful depression I cold have ever imagined. I immediately could not work and had to move in with my parents who, along with many siblings and friends, had to watch me 24/7 as I was a danger to myself. Eventually I was hospitalized in the Psych Ward for a week. Getting through each day seemed truly unbearable and I knew I would surely die. I have been put on many many different doctor prescribed SSRI's SNRI's Tricyclics, mood stabilizers, anti-psychotics, holistic meds, acupuncture and even a form of shock therapy called RTMS. I barely saw any improvement in my condition for a full year. It was decided I had treatment resistant depression and I spent nearly every moment in tears. Weeks after starting my newest round of medications (Seroquel & Nortryptaline) as a last ditch effort, I had my blood drawn for possible hormone imbalances and my Testosterone levels came back 200 ng/Dl and 150 ng/Dl. The average 25 year old male has 750 ng/Dl. With this discovery I had an explanation as to why I was not getting better and why I might be so so sick. The symptoms of Low T are very similar to those of major depression. I started legally prescribed testosterone replacement therapy soon after and have been checking in with the world and documenting my experience with treatment as well as giving my insight and perspective on various topics of mental health. I am blessed to say that I have slowly, over the last 6 years, been improving and becoming more stable which I never thought to be possible. My low T manifested itself in the form of Major depression, anxiety, and depersonalization/ derealization for over a year. Treating my low testosterone has been 1 HUGE part of the puzzle but I have had to continue to work hard to hold on to my mental stability with many set backs. Gaining some mental stability back is nothing short of a miracle as I was near death for what felt like forever. I do not consider myself to be totally healed yet but I am closer now then ever before and aim to use what I have been through to help or at least offer support to others in need I was able to successfully come off my Seroquel and Pamelor.
I work out all the time as a part of my mental health recovery!!! Weight training and all kinds of cardio rule much of my free time and I also share this on my channel.

The "The Addiction Summit" has been one of the greatest passion projects of my entire life. I have dedicated everything to it over that past few months and I have no doubt it's going to change lives. Addiction has impacted my life more then I can say and I want everyone who is struggling with any type of addiction to get free like I have. -Dr. Paul
paulthomasmd Kind of off the subject but do you have an opinion on the new sublocade shot versus sublingual Suboxone
I’m so glad that you guys did this! I’ve purchased it so that I can watch it over and over. Thank you for putting in the work to do this summit! Can’t wait to watch it!
You have a wonderful dad Noah!
Noah, I know you’re channels picture is of you looking down after recovering from a hard set but have you ever thought of putting a more up and straight faced happy pick to represent your current outlook on your life? Keep up the great work and thank you for what you do. Subscriber from the beginning.
birdmanG6843 what an incredible idea!!!!
As someone who dreams of being a Therapist, this was VERY eye opening and such an honest and humble discussion. Thank you for sharing !
My worst "drunk" was when I threw up all over my friend's bed; the last thing I heard was "You need to chew your food better" and I woke up the next day, a 3 day hangover; and even though my hair was astoundingly shiny; said "You're still drunk, I thought I lost you to alcohol poisoning". That was when I was 19 years old. The stories we have are amazing, like "HOW are we still here" type stories. Thank you for sharing these, it helps people like me realize what goes into recovery aside from being taken away and sequestered from life and for those first few days before the evaluation of "ARE you or AREN'T YOU??"
Noah's thighs though.... :p

This Summit is the real deal and actually helped save my life when I was trying to get sober in April. Please check it out and share this amazing event. Also shout out to my dad for coming on the channel as a medical professional who is still currently practicing medicine and getting real. He admitted to so stuff most doctors NEVER WOULD and that bad A$$. He truly has a heart of gold guys and I am honored to have him as my dad.
I love how honest and open the two of you are.
Your dad is a badass
NO WAY hes 61, WOW. Looks like late early/late 40s, thats just mind blowing. Hes looking very good!
Awesome Father / Son convo. So cool to watch. 👍
Awesome human beings👏🏽👏🏽 Thank you.
Dr. Paul is your dad?!!! 🤯
Your Dad has a full head of hair?
I know right!! What kind of crap is that lol.
bignoknow I heard hair is via the mother’s side 👀
You and your father are awesome together. What a great bond you share. I found your videos awhile back because my husband was diagnosed with low test and I wanted to learn more about it. He also suffers from alcohol addiction. Thank you guys for the great content. I will forward the video to my husband ❤
Awesome guys thank you
This was an amazing interview. My dad is an alcoholic, and it seems like my mom is becoming one. I'm going to try and get them to watch this. I know they won't change unless they want to, but maybe this can help them in some way.
good video, thanks
Awesome video, really needed it today. I have almost 5 months clean but woke up with cravings today. Idk, just in a bad space right now. Definitely will check out the summit
Noah, when you relapsed with drinking did it affect your mental problems like depression and depersonalization. Long time fan and your videos are one of my tools that help me with my depression. This video was well done. You my friend are the willingness that we pray for. If Noah can do it so can l. Big props to your dad. Much love.
All plugged in for "The Addiction Summit". We can never get enough good information as we trudge away...and the destination is indeed a happy one. Sure beats the hell out of the very hell of the path of addiction. Honesty is the key, and the humility to tell that truth. You have both mastered that and it's addictive, as are meetings for that same reason. Go where you will hear the truth as the truth really WILL set you free. Love what you both are doing. So proud to have met you Noah, on a few occasions and to know you, Paul, where we go to feed our recovery. Bravo to you both! I feel blessed in both of those aspects. T'aint we the lucky ones?
i have a problem myself and youre videos help me keep it up brother! :)
i have multiple years clean and sober and you are STILL an inspiration!!!!! keep fighting and In Lak'ech
That's awesome that you have a dad who truly understands what you're going through. I wish I could say the same for myself. I can't stay sober for the life of me, the boredom is too strong plus mental conditions anyway I'm glad you're doing well man keep it up.
@paulthomasmd @bignoknow Is there a way to still watch for free, or is it just free whne it was actually occurring live? thanks
Im binge watching you today, i so needed this! N i adore the relationship between you two! That’s the openness I’d love between my kids and I when they’re older.
Your dad looks great

Hey Noah your doing great. Keep up the good work.
Hey bro
Damn, my liver functions have been high for 6 years and I'm still drinking. :( fml
Love your dad and I also have many stories...I'm sitting here broken because you said more with your dad that I did in the entire 42 years that we had together.
This was great- you need to have your Dad on again, he was great! The two of you make a great team :-)
