Few topics to be aware of:
-Are you okay not hitting the gym for 6/7 days during the week?
-Are you comfortable not talking to women for 24 months?
-Are you cool with likely getting kicked out after the associate program unless you suck the MD’s balls?
-Are you aware you will bald at an accelerating rate (debating to take finasteride / monoxidal while you juggle your hormones and hair line)?
