2015

Tarek revealed that he underwent a massive weight loss after injuring his back following his cancer battles.

“I got back surgery I went from 230-pounds to 168-pounds,” he told Dr. Drew in 2018, three years after undergoing the procedure. “So, I had the cancer and then I got the second cancer. And then four months after, I recovered from the second cancer, I hurt my back. Then I lost 60 pounds.”

“I was on like 10 Vicodin every day, and on top of that my meds are off, my hormones are off, I’m on pain meds and narcotics and I’m filming and I’m working. It was a really rough three, four years, he added.” Thankfully Tarek is now in good health as of 2023 and enjoying his new life with Heather and their son.

The Long Beach, California, native went to an anti-aging clinic after battling a myriad of health problems including thyroid cancer, testicular cancer and back surgery. It left him feeling weakened and he ended up getting treated with testosterone to help boost his energy.

“It was just my hormones were off. I was tired and I thought it was from the thyroid medication, but it wasn’t,” Tarek said during a 2018 appearance on “The Dr. Drew Podcast” in 2018.

“I went to this Botox doctor and hormone clinic that my ex said to go check out,” Tarek said, referring to Christina. “Next thing I know I’m shoving a needle on my ass and taking steroids … it was testosterone,” he said, adding that he was given double the dose of his already normal hormone level.

“It was awful,” the real estate investor recalled. “I was completely on way too much testosterone, on top of that taking human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) injections every day … because I was told to.”
