How Chris Got His Energy and Confidence Back with TRT

Chris Hillman, a 51-year-old dad of seven, struggled with low energy, weight gain, and mental fog for years. Learn how testosterone therapy helped him feel like himself again.

A Busy Dad Who Needed a Change

Chris Hillman is a 51-year-old Director of Operations, father of seven, and an outdoor enthusiast who loves hunting, camping, and fishing. But life wasn’t as vibrant as it used to be. He felt constantly drained, struggled with weight gain, and wasn’t as sharp as he wanted to be. Something wasn’t right.

 

The Breaking Point: Feeling Older Than His Years

Chris first noticed changes in his 30s. He was ready for bed by 7 PM, couldn’t shake off the extra weight, and felt like his mental clarity was slipping. His doctor ran tests and told him everything was "normal." But Chris didn’t feel normal.

A friend mentioned testosterone therapy, and while Chris was hesitant at first, he eventually decided to check out Tri-City Men’s Health. That’s when everything changed.

The Shocking Truth: Low Testosterone Levels

During his consultation with Phil Schafer, Chris learned his testosterone levels were equivalent to an 80-year-old man. Finally, he had an answer. It wasn’t just about “getting older.” He started testosterone replacement therapy (TRT), and while it took some fine-tuning, the results were life-changing.

How TRT Turned Things Around

Here’s what Chris noticed after starting TRT:

  • Energy Levels Restored: “I feel like I can actually play with my kids after work instead of just sitting on the couch.”

  • Weight Under Control: Losing weight got easier, and it stayed off.

  • Sharper Thinking: Chris felt more focused and on top of his game, both at work and at home.

  • Improved Confidence: Even his libido improved, something he didn’t realize had been slipping over time.

“It’s like I got 10 years of my life back,” Chris said.

 

Why Chris Recommends TRT

For Chris, TRT wasn’t just about fixing numbers on a test—it was about getting back to feeling like himself again. He wants other men to know they don’t have to settle for feeling tired, sluggish, or stuck.

“If you’re struggling, get tested. You don’t have to live like this,” he says.

Why Choose Tri-City Men’s Health?

Chris says the care he’s received has been excellent. Whether it’s adjusting his therapy or making sure he has what he needs on short notice, the team at Tri-City Men’s Health has always had his back.

“They really listen and make sure you’re feeling your best. That’s what sets them apart,” he shares.

The Takeaway: Don’t Wait to Feel Better

Chris is proof that you don’t have to accept feeling tired and off your game. If you’re noticing the same struggles, take the first step and get tested. A better, more energized you could be just around the corner.
