“When you show deep empathy for others, their defensive energy goes down, and positive energy goes up. That’s when you can get more creative solving problems.”Stephen Covey

I often tell my patients my own story. I know it helps them understand that I’ve lived the “Low T” nightmare, studied TRT (Testosterone Replacement Therapy), and know what works and augments therapy.

When I hit the age of 50, I knew something was drastically wrong. I felt foggy-headed, grumpier than usual, down in the dumps, had lost my libido and motivation, and I was exhausted all the time. I mean, I would wake up tired. I’d been diagnosed with hypertension, high cholesterol, borderline diabetes, and sleep apnea. My weight was at an all-time high. I know what to do, not because I’m a doctor, but because I’m a man.

A couple of years later, I went to a local clinic specializing in TRT. By then, my level of testosterone was 260 ng/dL. I was told by the physician that that was a very treatable number, despite still being in “normal range”. I signed up immediately and received my first shot that day. That same clinic hired me 6 months later after seeing my transformation. I’ve lost 75 pounds, my endurance and strength are way up, and I no longer have hypertension, sleep apnea, high cholesterol or elevated blood sugar.

Now, I also need to explain that I “walk the walk”. I always explain to my patients, that if you are going to continue to abuse yourself, the therapy will not work. Many factors are contributing to our Low T levels as a society. I am a passionate believer that if we identify the culprits behind the Low T epidemic, we can make changes to augment our therapy and improve our testosterone levels. I have a 97% success rate, and I swear, the 3% that don’t respond continue to eat processed food, drink a 12 pack (of beer) every night and don’t get moving (exercise). If you are going to go through all of this trouble, pay for an expensive therapy, and get a sharp reminder in your ass every week or two, you’ll want to do the work to ensure success. Most patients take my advice to heart and do well.

I wasn’t sure if I was going to enjoy practicing in such a restricted practice. After all, doctors are sort of detectives. I absolutely love it!
