My health is great.  and I should probably cut back on the $5 vanilla lattes but I only drink them when I am with friends so there is a social benefit as well....I'm not opposed to spending the money, I'm just opposed to spending it unnecessarily. A lot of health comes down to social and economic factors, diet, exercise, avoiding vices (Smoking, excess drinking, etc.) and managing stress - all of which I am doing.  20% of health is clinical care and 5% is genetic and biology. I think this site does a good job of talking about the clinical and biology (such as dropping testosterone levels with age).

My question is would my health be even better for $1800 more per year?  Because that's the same cost as a nice trip to Hawaii. If it's going to cost me that same amount ($150/month or $1800 year) more for Defy Medical labs, results, and consults, then I would prefer to stay with my current local doctor.

I see a lot of these wellness websites talking about Bio-Identical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT).  Is that more than just a TRT protocol for men?  In other words, do they provide more benefits than my current doctor?
