Nelson Vergel


Biography

Nelson Vergel is the co-author of the book “Built to Survive: A Comprehensive Guide on the Medical Use of Anabolic Therapies, Nutrition and Exercise for HIV+ Women and Men” and the founder of the Body Positive Wellness Clinic in Houston. He holds a bachelor’s degree in chemical engineering from McGill Univer¬sity and an MBA from the University of Houston. A tireless patient advocate for 20 years, his writing is accessible and jam-packed full of practical information. He weaves the latest research data with first-hand experience and useful tips—the result of years of trial and error experience. He strives to help his readers live healthier lives without having to “reinvent the wheel” in their search for solutions.

Nelson discovered the benefits of testosterone replacement therapy in 1993 after doing his own research to reverse his downward spiral with fatigue and wasting syndrome. Testosterone allowed him to regain his health as he built lean body mass. This in turn bought him time to survive HIV until effective therapies were introduced in 1996. Convinced that testosterone saved him from dying of wasting, he embarked on a lecture crusade and has helped thousands of people live healthier lives through the medical use of hormones, exercise, nutrition, supplementation, and other wellness-related therapies.

Nelson has also written widely about HIV, and has been featured in numerous publications for his expertise and perspective. After spending four years as an active member of metabolic and hormone research committees at the National Institutes of Health, he became a leading treatment advocate. He has lectured at over 60 scientific conferences and physician’s groups, is an expert advisor at TheBody.com, and actively manages the largest online health support group for those living with HIV. Because of his dedicated efforts to help others, the Mayor of the City of Houston, Lee Brown, proclaimed September 13, 2001as “Nelson Vergel Day.”

In this book, Nelson wants to share his 25 years of health wisdom with men around the world, regardless of their health status. It is time for the world to learn from what he and others have gathered in their years of health struggle and triumph.
