No More 3 O'Clock Nap, and Staying Active in Retirement

Summary

Michael, a retired teacher and athletic trainer, says he was very tired in the afternoons and would go in and take a nap at 3 o'clock until they put him on testosterone, and he does not take a nap anymore. He came in with no real significant health issues beyond the general aging process he wanted to slow down, and says his provider looked at him as the whole person.

Before Med Matrix

• Retired from teaching, from being an athletic trainer and from being a massage therapist
• He and his wife ski, hike, water ski, garden, travel and make maple syrup, and want to stay very active
• No real significant health issues, in his words, just the general aging process, which he wanted to slow down
• His biggest issue: very tired in the afternoons, stopping his tinkering at 3 o'clock to go in and take a nap
• Says he could blame it on the aging process, but did not want to be like this or have to quit tinkering

Results

• Says he does not take a nap anymore since starting testosterone, and either works longer or slower (he says it might be both)
• Says his provider looked at him as the whole picture rather than just the 10 or 12 blood tests
• Says that was his main purpose for coming in, and that everything else seems good; he wanted to stay problem free
• Says every time he has contacted the team it has been almost an immediate response
• Says he and his wife feel really good about their experience so far and are pretty happy with it
• Would tell someone on the fence to do it: it's expensive, but illness is expensive, and being healthy is worth the expense
