#113 XXY (Klinefelter Syndrome) with Ryan Bregante

Ryan is the president and founder of California-based non-profit Living with XXY. Ryan is a 37-year-old with Klinefelter syndrome or 47, XXY. Klinefelter syndrome results from an extra X chromosome, affecting roughly 1 in 500 males. Ryan’s parents learned about his XXY diagnosis during his mother’s pregnancy. His experiences navigating XXY and those of the over 600 families he’s met help guide and inspire Ryan's work today.


While Ryan’s background includes work as a fine dining chef and action sports photographer, he currently spends most of his time advocating for his community through his non-profit. Living with XXY was officially established in 2019 and focuses on creating a community, spreading awareness, and sharing positive traits for those with an XXY diagnosis. Living with XXY is growing daily, reaching over 40 countries.


Ryan is traveling around the US, meeting with clinics, professors/students, other professionals, and families to share the work of Living with XXY and create opportunities for connection for those with XXY.
