Testosterone replacement is "fountain of youth" for men

INDIANAPOLIS -

Several men claim to have found the "fountain of youth," but others say they're not too sure.

The before and after pictures certainly are convincing.

"I started at 245 pounds last October and now I am 185 pounds," said Frank Miller.

Beyond the looks and weight loss, 35-year-old Frank Miller simply feels younger.

"I do feel I am the person I was at 18 years old," he said. "I look great. I feel great and, you know, I am more active. I got more energy."

Frank says the transformation started the day after he started testosterone replacement therapy, where pellets are injected into his hip.

"The next morning, I woke up and it was almost overwhelming. I was kind of, like, 'Wow,' you know, I'm, like, this is how I should feel," he said.

He says it wasn't libido, but he was tired, moody and gaining weight. So he went to see Dr. Jeff DeWester at South Side Family Medicine to see if his testosterone was low. A blood test revealed his levels.

"I was 363. I mean, I am on the high end of low at 35 years old? I should be 800-900, right? I mean, I'm 35," Miller said.
