Instead, at nearly 69 years of age I’ve decided (while knowingly I cannot perform like a 25 year old) I refuse not to continue to be completive, in which ever physical/mental exercise I chose to participate. I found however that despite my best effort, that I was quite literally “losing a step” to age and all the “wonderful” compromises it brings. I found myself tired most days and less focused than I wanted to be. Everything hurt. I even (heaven forbid) didn’t seem to have the vigor I always enjoyed.
So what to do? I set out to research TRT, as I had heard miraculous things about it. Wow, what a lot to learn and even harder to understand all the options……. interactions and synergies that abound. Do this, don’t do that, unless you know what you are doing it can get crazy and crazy costly.
Here is where Todd and IMT come in. After seeing a positive endorsement of IMT online I decided to give a call. The rest (as they say) is history. Todd has provided guidance I wanted and sorely needed.
I am currently close to being “dialed in” with the program I have chosen. My energy is up, I am sleeping better. I have better workouts (less fatigue), better recovery. I’m playing Senior softball again at the Major level. And probably the greatest reward (my wife who is 26 years my junior) is THRILLED, I’m back!
If you are a little older (mature) don’t let that stop you from getting on the T TRAIN. I believe that we probably appreciate the “lift” that science has provided than those who have not yet experienced the physical forfeitures we have.
Hey imtherocket, and welcome to the best forum out there... Your story is Very inspirational indeed and I wanted to share some of my past with you...

We're glad to have you!! Just so you know your truly not alone in letting your injuries run your life - I, too, have had over 13 surgeries(3 on R shoulder needing total rev joint replacement - torn labrum both RCs are torn ATM) 5 ventral hernia repairs(going back in on Monday for a 6th but not as bad), in 07 I died 3x in an auto accident and was comatosed for 45+ days ventilator for 18+ days, splenectomy, tracheotomy, broke my R scapula, shattered my L heel, 2 chest tubes etc etc

You truly are a testament for 'us' BBers that don't give up or let your injuries define you, but rather we're still defining who we are w/our injuries! Very well done and not many(at all) have this mindset! Take it and run with it! It's the best decision I've ever made!
And congrats on the Much younger Mrs!

We could've chose to stay on the couch an take pain killers(which I found didn't even help anyway as my pain worsened) so I get what your going through and if I can be if any help, jus say so
