Shooting up is NEVER the answer.
Listening to the dealer that sells the junk isn't the answer either.
They make their living selling the junk.
Correct diet, exercise, adequate sleep, and stress management ARE the answer.
Sounds like it's time for 4 new tires.
You can say that and I used to believe that fixed everything. But the reality is that it doesn’t.
I’ve trained for marathons, ultras and Ironmans for the last several years. At roughly 38, I was at peak performance. Felt great, looked great, sharp as a tack, dedicated and motivated.
And then, things started changing. Motivation falling off, mental focus declining, noticeably harder to achieve gains in my training. I wrote it off as over training and poor diet. Dialed my training in, got my diet about as perfect as you could get. No processed stuff, no alcohol, 80% of what I ate either killed, caught it or grew it.
9 months of this and still declining. Struggling to sleep, but feeling exhausted everyday at 2pm. I got a sleep apnea test. I was fine. My normal blood work (liver, cholesterol, kidneys, thyroid) were “perfect” according to my doctor. Got my T checked. 304. Doc says “That’s normal.”
Kept up the diet and training. Added more strength training. Left my stressful job and found one that was much less stressful. Still struggling. Recheck T 6 months later. It was 290.
So I went on TRT. Game changer. Wish I would have done it 2 years ago. I’m better in every aspect of my life. Husband, father, job, training, races, im better at all of it.
