I want to share something from my personal experience with TRT.

Before I ever started testosterone therapy, I spent years trying to fix how I felt.

And I mean years of trying everything I could think of.

I did detox protocols for things like parasites, heavy metals, and mold. I changed diets multiple times. Keto. Intermittent fasting. Keto and fasting together. I trained hard with weights. I did tons of cardio. I combined everything trying to “optimize” my health. I even did coffee enemas, yikes.

I went down every possible route I could find.

Chiropractic care thinking maybe it was structural, this got expensive. Neuromuscular massage and trigger point work thinking it was tightness and nerve issues. Acupuncture. Therapy for PTSD. Treatment for TBI. Antidepressants. Brain stimulation therapy. Iodine protocols. Switching salts. Genetic testing. Looking into methylation issues like B12, COMT, MAO-A, and trying to “correct” what I could find. I had a neck fusion, hoping it came from neck instability. I was in a constant state of dizziness and not feeling “fully in this reality.”
All my blood work always came back within “normal limits” so every doctor just said the same thing “it’s probably from the TBI you got from when you got blown up.”

I prayed constantly.

I genuinely tried everything I could under the sun.
And still, something wasn’t right. Always felt hope when I tried something new but was disappointed when it didn’t change anything.

The fatigue, brain fog, low motivation, and emotional weight were still there. There were nights I went to bed feeling like I wasn’t sure I’d make it through the next day, I literally prayed before bed thinking “well this is it.” A constant sense of heaviness and survival mode. At the time, it felt like I had already lived my best years and I was just pushing through what was left.

Eventually I reached a point where I basically said, “I have nothing left to lose. I’ll try TRT and see what happens.”

For me personally, that’s when things shifted.
It didn’t make life perfect, but it changed something fundamental, it resolved about 90% of my issues.
My mood improved. The constant low-grade depression lifted. The feeling of hopelessness started to fade. I started thinking about the future again. I started feeling motivated again. Strong again. Mentally clearer. Emotionally more stable. When that changed, it seemed my physical symptoms changed too. The dizziness subsided my aches and pains went away, and everything didn’t hurt all the time.

I stopped feeling like I was just surviving and started feeling like I was actually living again.

I can’t fully explain it any other way than that.

I honestly wish I had understood sooner that low testosterone could be a factor in everything I was trying to fix for so long. I spent close to a decade searching for answers and assuming my best years were behind me.

This isn’t medical advice and everyone is different, but I do think it’s important for people to get proper labs and not ignore persistent symptoms that don’t make sense.

Just sharing my experience in case, it helps someone connect dots in their own situation, I never knew hormones could play such a large role in EVERY area of my life like that.

Now, being on the other side of things, I want others to find their way, even if TRT isn’t the answer, living like that is not living at all and I want to see you get better.

@TheRealOpsGuy 🫡 hope today was a good one for you

As a combat veteran, every day I was over there I wanted to get back home.

Now years later, I feel only nostalgia when I look at pics and wish I could go right back there and live it again.

Reflecting on all the years of my life so far, I would say that deployment was the most "peaceful" time in my life.

Doesn't make sense....but over there, there was only one mission. There was one united team trying to do everything they can to make it back home. You don't realize it, but you're completely focused on every moment, not living in the past or future but fully present in the "now." That concept doesn't seem to exist any more these days.

There wasn't the worry of what is being said in the news, what's on social media, bills, and all the dumb stuff that stresses us out. It's just you, your brothers and sisters and the surviving of each day together in unity.

Wish I knew at the time how much that experience would have meant to me, I may have experienced it differently at the time.

The one take away is this...

Someone willing to sacrifice their life for yours is a kind of love not many will ever experience. No questions asked...it's just what you do.

Because of that I am blessed and that's what I remember every November 11th..

@defbadadvice Good episode. Brian is a relatable and likable guy that alot of dude can identity with. But I agree....do something you doing. Life satisfaction is important. Every guy needs a purpose that's greater than himself. So good job @MogLifeLabs for jumping off and taking a risk

@BullMoose4425 Yep! It's one of those things you don't realize until it's over.

I remember when I made it back I felt like America was this dark cloudy fog of bs that was more stressful than deployment. Was a surprising feeling.
