Sitting on opposite ends of the couch, wondering if they were still in love. Same house, same couch, same bed, same routine, but where is the love, the fun, the passion? It seems like years since they’ve been intimate.
She doesn’t seem interested anymore. He’s tried so many times, he just doesn’t ask anymore. She always seems angry about this or that. Complaining about things that shouldn’t even matter; but apparently they matter a lot. Complaining about not sleeping or waking up all night and always being tired. Is she just tired of him? It’s like there’s no way to make her happy anymore.
He doesn’t seem interested anymore. When was the last time he came on to me? I can’t even remember the last date we went on. We never spend time together. He’s always asleep on the couch and we never talk anymore. If I still love him, why don’t I have any desire? I thought marriage was supposed to get easier.
Does this sound familiar? It should. It’s the story we hear from patients all the time. No libido, never feeling rested, just surviving each day so you can get home and crash, the weight gain, the irritability. And why is everyone getting so annoying?
It’s amazing what hormones are responsible for. Everyone seems to think testosterone = mean and muscles and estrogen = emotional overload. That’s so far from the truth. It’s hard to describe, but I might say, testosterone = fearless desire to engage in life, and estrogen = the emotional awareness to enjoy every moment.
Forget the health benefits of hormones today, and there are tons. Let’s talk about how it changes your life.
Imagine peacefully drifting off to sleep and waking after eight hours feeling fresh and rested. Not even an ounce of tired. None. I’m talking ready to hop out of bed with a list of tasks to accomplish and looking forward to accomplishing every single one. You can’t wait to get out of bed excited for the day. Sounds impossible.
Imagine actually taking the steps toward a goal instead of just having some hazy snippets of a daydream where you don’t really know what you want, where you would go or what you would do, because it seems like you will never get there anyway.
Imagine your spouse approaching you with that look in his eye and you smile, because you’ve been waiting for him all day.
That’s just a taste of what hormones do. I used to feel like you. I got treated 12 years ago. It changed my life. I felt alive. I slept. I was happy. I wasn’t afraid of life. So, I quit my job and left over 20 years of traditional medicine. Why? So, I could help you feel better, too.
