I'm a retired high school history teacher and was an after-school soccer and wrestling coach. I worked for 29 years on and off in the public school system.

When I was first diagnosed with hypothyroidism more than two years ago, my primary care doctor recommended I take synthetic thyroid hormone to help correct the imbalance. When I tried that, I felt worse than ever. I tried a bunch of different medications, and they didn’t work.

I finally went to an endocrinologist who suggested a new treatment called tesamorelin. I took it for a year and a half until now and lost roughly 80 lbs of fat and gained 25 pounds of lean muscle.

I had also to make strict dietary changes and exercise every other day to get the best results. I no longer touch caffeine or alcohol. I gave up smoking the devil's lettuce recreationally.

With much mental effort, I gave up soft drinks like cherry Coke and mountain dew, two liquid refreshments I was addicted to and loved to drink. I miss them both, but I don't miss the obesity.

From my own research online, Tesamorelin is a human growth hormone secretagogue that is used to help stimulate the body’s natural growth hormone production.

The drug is commonly used to help reduce symptoms of growth hormone deficiency in adults. I was diagnosed with HGH deficiency less than two years ago and decided to try it. It's more cost-effective than HGH. HGH is expensive by comparison.

According to some studies I read before going on a protocol using it, Tesamorelin has proven to be a powerful treatment for growth hormone deficiency.

It’s been proven to increase natural growth hormone production by mimicking GHRH or Growth Hormone Releasing Hormone, which helps improve my symptoms. Using it has increased my energy levels. I get better sleep.

I believe it improved my mood and reduced moodiness. It’s also believed by some doctors to potentially reduce the risk of diabetes and heart disease in men and women and improve athletic performance for those who make the strict lifestyle, diet, and exercise changes needed while using the drug.

Working out and fasting after injecting the drug made me feel pretty damn impressive. That seems to be the secret combination for me working out while feeling hungry.

Tesamorelin has helped me feel better than I have in years, and I feel fully rejuvenated when I wake up in the morning. I gave up coffee and tea completely, finally. It has improved my motivation levels in the morning when in the past, I needed coffee to start the day.

I am getting morning wood again, and my wife, who is younger than me with a higher libido, is zestier as a result. She's a happy camper. I don't need coffee and espresso for breakfast. I rarely ever get an afternoon energy crash, and my sense of well-being reminds me of when I was in my 20s.

It has also helped my beard grow thicker hair which was a surprising side effect. Instead of feeling weak and tired all the time, I feel strong. I hated the old fart me that felt listless and paralyzed with a sense of indecisiveness. The one thing I hated most about getting old was the inability to make decisions.

My health and wellness budget was a big concern for me, to be honest, given that I'm on a fixed income. I didn't want to go broke and have to live off cat food. The cost of tesamorelin has been significantly reduced in recent years. Today, it is available for just "dollars a day".

The only downside is that it is a once-a-day or an every-other-day injection, so it’s not exactly something you can pop when you feel like it. It’s best to take tesamorelin on a daily or every-other-day schedule, preferably on an empty stomach in the morning.

Using tesamorelin on an empty stomach and working out afterward really had a significant impact on its beneficial effect on me. That was actually counterintuitive for me.

The cost of tesamorelin has been affordable, in my opinion, which has allowed me to continue to take the drug without worrying about paying excessive monthly prescription costs. The only cost I’ve had to worry about is the cost of the medication itself, which I’ve been able to save by purchasing it online through an affiliated clinic.

Currently, tesamorelin can be purchased online for as little as the low $XX per dose, depending. This has allowed me to continue to take the drug without going bankrupt.

I don't know what else to say other than that I look and feel younger. These are my anecdotal opinions on it, and I know not everyone gets the same results, but I'm happy.
