To make a long story short. I used to be very energetic, had great workouts, great sex life, mentally focused, etc. That all changed around 4 years ago. I slowly started to feel worse and worse. The problem is with most people, they feel like shit for such a long period of time, that it becomes a way of life for them. I was one of those people. I didn't get to the bottom of it. I kept putting off my health. Well, finally I went to several doctors, I received my results. My testosterone was on the low end of the range. However, in my doc's eyes, I was in range, therefore, I didn't need any help from him.
The range for my lab (SED Labs) was 165-750 for Total Test. I came in at a 300. I felt terrible at 300. I can only imagine how some of you guys have felt with much lower levels. I argued with my doc to get me on some testosterone. He finally agreed but only with the gel. No mention of an Aromatase inhibitor (AI), HCG, etc. I knew how important this was for a protocol. I had done some research and have been on Ology for years and I knew that was a bad approach. My Doc even had the nerve to mention that he wanted to bring me up to 500 total test and keep me there. Again, this was number driven, not how I felt.
I had seen Chip's info on this forum and called him and Chip answered right away. We talked for a little over an hour. I felt a huge burden lifted off of my shoulders that day that I will never forget. Chip actually understood where I was coming from because he has been around that block before unlike every other doctor I have seen. Keep in mind I forgot to mention that this last doctor was my 4th doctor. All these docs couldn't help me. However, they did a great job of trying to convince me that I was depressed and that I needed depression pills. I refused. I got Chip his paperwork. I was approved for testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) treatment, I got my prescription in 2 days. I have been on testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) since December 20th. I will never forget that day. The best feeling I have had in a very very long time.
I have felt amazing since beginning my testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) treatment. Some people consider testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) a curse and a hassle. To me, it has been a blessing. I have regained my energy. I can sleep like a bear now. My sex drive is through the roof. I got back into the gym. I had stopped going to the gym which was not like me. I had been working out consistently since I was 16. I have been back in the gym 5 days a week now. I feel great, my strength is there. I can actually concentrate at work now and not fall asleep. I am not moody anymore with my wife. The sex is great.
And no I do not work for Maximus, but I will give Chip a reference any day of the week. Maximus has changed my life for the better. It's amazing what you can turn around when you have a team mate helping you get your life back. Thanks Chip! So cheers to you big guy!!!
