Hit it off well with the doc. Very thorough discussion over the course of an hour. No resistance to my use of TRT/peptides, etc. So, he's officially my PCP now.
Turns out he used to listen to my political talk radio show that was syndicated here in Colorado all those years ago and is friends with my former co-host and her husband, who is a retired doctor.
Referred me to a dermatologist to evaluate a lesion that has developed on my jawline.
He detected a slight aortic heart murmur that he said is common at my age, but as it is not detectable in my carotid, there is no need for an ECG, just monitoring on future visits. He was the cardiac doc at Yampa Valley Medical Center for many years until UCHealth took over and installed a full cardiac team there, so I trust his judgment.
He said all my blood tests look good, my vitals are excellent (BP 110/50 with a regular cuff as opposed to my wrist cuff, which shows it a bit higher), and no meds were even suggested.
Gonna take a home Fecal Immunochemical Test that the hospital will send me. I'll probably have to have the facial lesion surgically removed, and hopefully it's benign. Onward!

@SweetDoeCo Both!!!

I was feeling pretty good today when I got to the gym after the good appt I had with the doctor. I was no more than 10 feet in the door, and the Iraq war vet I’ve become friends with yells out a greeting from the opposite side of the gym. That made me feel even better. Then a completely jacked and serious dude who I asked for assistance the other day gave me a slight hello wave as he was drinking from his water bottle. That dude usually ignores everyone. The gym is starting to feel like a comfortable place to be most every afternoon.

@CoffeeBlackMD Spot on, doc. Spot on.

[Rob Douglas @RobDouglas]

That’s great. And I think you’ve hit on an important point for all of us. If we go in with great results, they can’t argue with what we’re doing. The doc I saw today openly acknowledged that given where all my tests are currently, based on the work I’ve put in since last October, he wouldn’t prescribe a thing other than to keep doing what I’ve been doing. My goal is to see him again in 6 months and show him even better blood tests, etc.

[Rob Douglas @RobDouglas]

@DigitalFringed1 @TheShreddington Totally agree.

[Rob Douglas @RobDouglas]

@DigitalFringed1 @TheShreddington Superman--not Soperman--damn fingers--lol

[Rob Douglas @RobDouglas]

@DigitalFringed1 @TheShreddington Shreddington has the perfect physique to be Soperman in the next Superman film. No joke. Perfect.

[Rob Douglas @RobDouglas]

@HormoneForge Totally. Let's us know they are up to speed on what matters and makes a difference.

@Tanya_Nicole_53 Thank you, Tanya!

[Rob Douglas @RobDouglas]

@bowtiedmeathead Thank you, my friend!

[Rob Douglas @RobDouglas]

@SweetDoeCo Me want!!

[Rob Douglas @RobDouglas]

Heading out to see a new primary care physician for the first time since 2007 (that was when I mistook a panic attack for a heart attack after walking away from a high-paying dream job with no parachute). So this morning, I’m showered, shaved, and wearing clean underwear. It’s almost like a first date. 🤣

[Rob Douglas @RobDouglas]

@Oxandrolonely Thank you! Yep, I’m definitely increasing my step count, and once my feet are properly cushioned, I’ve got a ruck sack to use as my body weight keeps decreasing. I appreciate you taking the time to share your experience and advice.

[Rob Douglas @RobDouglas]

I’m thinking I might need better athletic shoes for walking outdoor trails and treadmills. I did yesterday’s trail walk in the same shoes I use in the gym (very flat), and I could feel every impact after a while. I’m still ~50 lbs overweight, so the ol’ feet may need some cushioning.

[Rob Douglas @RobDouglas]

@Tanya_Nicole_53 Feel better soon!!!

[Rob Douglas @RobDouglas]

@DigitalFringed1 True. And, if we need an excellent and experienced look at our protocol from time to time, there are several good consultants available here on FitX. For me it’s @BowTiedHRT.

[Rob Douglas @RobDouglas]

@DigitalFringed1 I’ll add, and I know you agree, that optimizing is not gained via the pathetic protocols the majority of doctors prescribe, if you can even get your doctor to prescribe TRT.

[Rob Douglas @RobDouglas]

My NJ friend speaketh the truth!

Diet and training gets you in the door

Optimizing testosterone blows the roof off

It upgrades every area of life

Confidence, drive, strength, libido, mood

Especially when coming from not eating well, not exercising, and just not treating your self well

Trt is truly life changing

It amazes me that people are still afraid or skeptical to take the leap
