Jake, a 35-year-old software developer, started noticing unusual symptoms that interfered with his work and personal life. 

Despite getting eight hours of sleep, he faced persistent fatigue, recurring brain fog, and difficulty concentrating on his complex projects. and it wasn’t some Python script, we’re talking medical software and C/C++.

“I was the definition of “sedentary”. It got to the point that one of my Xmas gifts was a chair. An expensive model I know my wife took a lot of time to choose, but it struck me: she’s the sweetest person I know, and she tried to come up with something that I’d really like and use, and there was nothing more interesting about my life except for the fact that I make money by sitting all day. Sitting was the definition of me. It was just sad.”

His once reliable energy had him skipping gym sessions and even simple daily tasks, leaving him frustrated and worried.

  • Daily Struggles: Persistent tiredness, mental blocks, and skipped workouts;
  • Impact on Career: Difficulty focusing and with creative problem-solving;
  • Lifestyle Clashes: Inconsistent exercise and poor dietary habits.

Diagnosis

Concerned by the decline, Jake started research, and, well, found us. He filled the form and consulted his personal doc over Zoom. Our team member wasn’t sure about the results, so he ordered a comprehensive blood panel. The results revealed that his hormone levels were off balance:

  • Total T: 310 ng/dL (well below the ideal 500–700 ng/dL for his age);
  • Free T: 7.0 ng/dL, indicating low levels of the active hormone;
  • Additional: Elevated stress markers.

The TRT Plan

Working with our team, Jake started a customized TRT regimen to restore his hormone balance. Here’s the gist of it:

  • Weekly Injections: Administered a controlled dose of a long-acting testosterone ester to steadily boost his levels;
  • Lifestyle Tweaks: Introduced balanced meals rich in proteins, healthy fats, and vegetables, plus three 30-minute moderate exercise sessions per week;
  • Sleep & Stress Management: Adopted a strict sleep routine, cut down screen time before bed, and practiced mindfulness to lower stress.

Results

After three months (12 weeks) on TRT, Jake — as reported — had noticeable improvements in energy and focus. By the six-month mark (24 weeks), his lab results showed significant progress:

  • Total T: Increased to around 580 ng/dL;
  • Free T: Rose to approximately 12 ng/dL;
  • Impact: Enhanced concentration at work, renewed enthusiasm for exercise, and a clearer, more positive outlook;

Today

Now, 18 months later, Jake feels reenergized and balanced:

  • Work Resurgence: Sharp focus and creativity restored for demanding projects;
  • Healthy Lifestyle: Regular workouts and better eating habits are now part of his routine;
  • Overall Well-Being: A noticeable lift in mood, energy, and quality of life.

“When people see my old pictures, they say I looked like my own dad. And sure, it’s not just TRT, I also did a hair transplant and I don’t think there’d be a change like that if I didn’t flip my whole lifestyle upside down, but none of it would happen if I didn’t start with shots. I wish I started earlier but I’m happy with what I’ve got. Really”

His progress with TRT, combined with lifestyle changes, has allowed Jake to reclaim his professional edge and enjoy a vibrant personal life.
