The Genesis of Maximus: A Mission for Men’s Health

In today’s world, men face a silent epidemic—one that is rarely talked about but has profound consequences. Over the last few decades, testosterone levels in men have been steadily declining. Studies show that average testosterone has dropped 1% per year since the 1980s, meaning that a 30-year-old man today has significantly lower testosterone than his father or grandfather did at the same age.

This decline isn’t just a statistical anomaly—it has real-life consequences. Lower testosterone is linked to decreased motivation, lower energy levels, increased body fat, reduced muscle mass, and even higher rates of depression and anxiety. Many men today feel constantly fatigued, unmotivated, and disconnected from their sense of drive and purpose—and they don’t even realize that their hormones could be the root cause.

Dr. Cam Sepah, a medical school professor, licensed clinical psychologist, and executive coach for top CEOs and athletes, founded Maximus with a clear purpose: to bring the science of health and hormone optimization to men in a way that is both clinically meaningful and life-changing. His goal with Maximus is to educate and empower men to take control of their testosterone levels, performance, and overall well-being—not just through medication, but through a holistic, science-backed approach.

The science that sparked the journey

Dr. Cam was inspired to start Maximus after watching a BBC documentary on hormones, where a professor studied the 2D:4D digit ratio—the ratio between the pointer and ring fingers—to predict athletic performance. The study showed that the greater the discrepancy between these two fingers, the higher the testosterone exposure in the womb, which directly correlated with athletic success.

While this finding was fascinating, it also raised a concerning question: Are we simply bound by our genetic and environmental destiny? Does testosterone dictate our potential for success, no matter how hard we train?

Rather than accepting this as an unchangeable fact, Dr. Cam became curious: What if men could actually increase their testosterone levels safely and effectively? What if there was a science-backed method to optimize hormones, leading to better performance in all aspects of life—without resorting to unsafe or unethical means?

More than just a pill: A holistic approach to masculine health

One of Dr. Cam’s key concerns when starting Maximus was avoiding the “pill mill” mentality that many telemedicine companies fall into. Many businesses push prescription drugs without considering their impact on a person’s overall mental, emotional, and behavioral well-being.

The Maximus approach is different. The Testosterone Protocols are built on the belief that raising testosterone levels is only beneficial if men channel that energy in a positive, pro-social, and productive way. After years of working with elite performers, Dr. Cam understands that true success isn’t just about winning—it’s about winning the right way.

“If we double the testosterone levels of men across the country, but they act like douchebags, we haven’t done any good for the world.” - 'The Origin of Maximus.'

Maximus isn’t just about giving men higher testosterone—it’s about giving them the tools to optimize their health, mindset, and behaviors so they can become the best versions of themselves.

Cutting through the noise: Real science, not biohacking gimmicks

The world of health and wellness is filled with misinformation and extreme biohacking trends, from freezing yourself in ice baths to chasing the latest fad supplements. The Maximus mission is to separate real science from snake oil, providing practical, research-backed strategies that actually improve men’s health in a meaningful way.

From the beginning, Maximus was never just about fixing a problem—it was about starting a revolution in men’s health. Society has given men fewer and fewer outlets to discuss their struggles and improve themselves in a structured way. Maximus provides that missing link: a place where men can take charge of their health, connect with like-minded individuals, and be the best version of themselves.

“My thesis is that “self-improvement” was never meant to be done alone. Men always had a band of brothers, a village, a tribe to initiate them into adulthood and help them develop into a mature masculinity. That’s why we’re transcending self-improvement and focusing on mutual improvement. Yes, in the end, it’s always your personal responsibility to change your own life, but it doesn’t need to be done alone, and science supports that work better when done with support and accountability.”
