178: How Baby Steps Made Joe Feel Better In Every Way At 62 Than He Felt At 42 (Member Interview)
Today's guest, Joe L., was blindsided about two years ago when he went to donate his blood and was denied. Joe has O- blood, which means every other blood type can accept his. As such, he's always been a big proponent of donating his blood.
But he was denied a few years back because his blood pressure was sky high.
Joe never would've suspected that his blood pressure was high at the time. His doctor then prescribed him blood pressure medication. But Joe didn't want to live the rest of his life dependent on medicine. So he asked his doctor to give him six months to lose some weight and see if he could be taken off blood pressure.
Then, his doctor gave him life-changing advice:
Lose 10 pounds. And when the first 10 pounds are gone, lose 10 more.
Since this trip to the doctor's office in February 2025, he's…
Lost 55 pounds
Found out his hormones were out of balance and fixed his low testosterone and high prolactin levels (which made his libido return with a vengeance)
His confidence has gone through the roof
He stepped out of the depressive cloud that's been following him for most of his life
And he even told me that he feels better today, at 62 years old, than he felt 20 years ago!
How did Joe do it?
