More Than a TRT Program at His Second Check-In

Summary

Second testimonial: Stephen came in with low testosterone symptoms and reports less body fat, more lean muscle, better energy, and better InBody numbers. He felt like he was slipping into old age, with his energy declining, and told a friend who is a personal trainer that he could use a little help. About half a dozen visits with Gabe (Gabriel Rocha, PA-C, MMSc, IFMCP) later, he says his InBody numbers have improved a lot since his first visit. He came in thinking a testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) program would be the whole answer, and says it turned out to be a lot more than that. He also describes better versions of the vitamins he had been buying cheap, a testosterone dose adjusted recently because his numbers called for it, some peptide therapy, and a meeting with Brian that moved him from wanting to tone up for the summer to thinking about a consistent path, with a protocol that works around his occasional sciatica. He says he has been really consistent since, where before he was a little sporadic.

Before Med Matrix

• Felt like he was slipping a little bit, in his words slipping into old age
• Had always had high energy, working a lot and still going to the gym, then felt his health slipping
• Energy levels declining, part of what he calls a lot of classic symptoms of low testosterone
• Told a friend, a personal trainer at a gym, that he was turning into an old man and could use a little help
• Wanted to get his levels checked and see if he could get himself feeling better and more healthy
• Went cheap on vitamins, taking magnesium oxide without knowing it from any other form
• Was less in the know than the clinic team when he came in, despite feeling informed from searching online
• Didn't know much about functional medicine, and came in thinking one-dimensionally, that a TRT program alone would put everything right

Results

• Says he is a lot better overall, with better health
• Lost a lot of body fat
• Put on a lot more lean muscle mass
• Better energy levels, and feels better
• InBody numbers have improved a lot since the first time he came in
• Seeing better results from the vitamins his blood work put him on
• Has been really consistent since the meeting with Brian, where before he was a little sporadic, and says that even now, in summer, he is staying on top of it and getting some work in when he can
