[QUOTE="kjcmjc, post: 188431, member: 384"] I am 61 soon to be 62. I have been on TRT for 10 years now. Before TRT I had no energy to workout, did not care if I was overweight, was on cholesterol meds, anxiety meds. Then at 50 I started TRT and I was like a new man wanted to workout, got off all meds. BUT THE BIGGEST DIFFERENCE WAS WATCHING WHAT I ATE, AND WATCHING THE AMOUNT OF CALORIES I WAS CONSUMING EVERYDAY. When I was in my 50's I felt good. When I got close to 60 something hit me like a brick wall that I was getting old and I could not stop it. Turning 50 did not mentally bother me, turning 60 did. I would skip workouts, skip testosterone, skip cardio, gained about 20 pounds back, cholesterol was going up, anxiety coming back. About 2 months ago I decided that feeling like crap was no fun. I got back on a sensible eating plan started back at the gym, took my testosterone. I am feeling better but not like I did in my 50's. But a lot better than most 60 year olds. I go for blood work next week so hopefully my lipids are in good range. (High lipids and high BP run in my family) To answer your question. I feel that diet is the most important aspect to living healthy. If I take TRT and eat like crap my blood panels go in the wrong direction. When I eat right and take TRT my blood work is like a 30 year old. Do I have arthritis? yes. I do take a BP med. I take a aniexty med as needed now. Even if I eat perfect at my age those problems are not going away. So I accept that and do what I can to slow down aging. Get your diet in check by watching your daily caloric intake you will be amazed at how much better you will feel. Adding TRT in will aid in feeling better but it is not a cure all. Keeping your hormone levels optimal in addition of watching your choice of foods and daily caloric intake will be the best. That is the hardest part of slowing down aging watching what you eat, and how much you eat. Good Luck [/QUOTE]
