Our Story

Built by a Man
Who Refused
to Accept Less

Self Obsessed wasn't built in a boardroom. It was built in the aftermath of a life-altering accident — by a founder who refused every band-aid solution doctors handed him.

Where It Began
The Origin

One Crash Changed
Everything

At 17 years old, Kyle Armour's life changed in seconds. A severe ATV accident resulted in a traumatic brain injury that left him battling debilitating fatigue, brain fog, and testosterone levels that had cratered.

He spent years in doctors' offices. The answer was always the same: a prescription, a patch, a pill designed to mask the symptom — not fix the root cause. None of them worked.

"I was handed band-aid solutions over and over. I refused to accept that this was the best I could expect. So I did something about it."

— Kyle Armour, Founder of Formulation Factory

Kyle spent three years researching the peer-reviewed science on natural testosterone optimization — studying clinical trials, consulting with sports nutritionists, and building relationships with pharmaceutical-grade manufacturers. The result was Self Obsessed.

Our Mission

We exist to give men back the energy, strength, and drive that is rightfully theirs — without synthetic shortcuts.

Every ingredient in Self Obsessed was chosen because the science said it works. Not because it's trendy. Not because it's cheap. Because it delivers real, measurable results for real men.

The Problem

Why Most Men Feel
Like They're Running
on Empty

Testosterone in men has been declining at roughly 1% per year since the 1980s. By the time most men notice the symptoms — fatigue, low libido, poor recovery, brain fog — they've already lost decades of potential. The supplement industry's response? Under-dosed, overpriced products hiding behind proprietary blends.

01
📉

Testosterone Is in Freefall

Studies show average male testosterone levels have dropped by over 20% since the 1980s. Environmental toxins, chronic stress, and poor sleep are accelerating the decline in men as young as 25.

02
💊

TRT Carries Real Risks

Testosterone Replacement Therapy can suppress natural production permanently, impact fertility, and create lifelong dependency. Most men don't need TRT — they need the right nutritional support.

03
🎭

The Industry Is Built on Hype

Most testosterone supplements use proprietary blends to hide that their ingredients are dosed too low to do anything. You're paying for clever marketing, not clinical results.

04
🧬

One Pathway Is Never Enough

Testosterone production involves multiple biological pathways simultaneously — SHBG binding, LH signaling, cortisol suppression, and mineral co-factors. No single ingredient addresses all of them.

05
🔬

Science Gets Ignored

There are hundreds of published clinical trials on natural testosterone support. Most supplement brands ignore them entirely and dose based on what's cheapest, not what the research shows works.

06
🛡️

Our Solution: 10 Pathways, One Capsule

Self Obsessed was engineered to address every pathway simultaneously — SHBG, LH, cortisol, mitochondrial energy, libido, and mineral co-factors — all at clinically validated doses.

Kyle Armour Built
the Formula Doctors
Couldn't Give Him

Kyle Armour was a healthy, driven young man before the accident that changed everything. At 17, he survived a traumatic ATV crash that left him with a severe brain injury and hormonal levels that no doctor could explain or effectively treat.

Rather than accepting a lifetime of prescriptions, Kyle immersed himself in the world of sports science and nutritional biochemistry. He studied the clinical literature, connected with formulators, and spent three years building what would eventually become Formulation Factory and the Self Obsessed supplement line.

Today, Kyle's mission is to give every man the tool he was never handed — a scientifically complete, fully transparent formula that works with the body's natural testosterone production, not against it.
