Get your MOJO back!
A message from the Founder:
Do I remember what it felt like when I was 25? Of course I do! The world was mine and it seemed I could have anything I wanted. I was full of energy. And don’t get me wrong, at 25 years old I had more than my fair share of responsibilities and stress. Even though life never came easy my mojo cup was full to the brim. (sometimes overflowing)
Fast forward just 5 or 6 years though. Obviously you don’t have to be old to feel the effects of mojo on the decline. I really noticed it for the first time at age 31. Within a span of those 6 years I had build a large and profitable business, then almost as fast as it had begun it was over. The Great Recession of the late 2000’s hit me as hard as anyone. I was heavily invested in real estate, and I watched almost everything I’d given my professional life to broken and trampled on. I was tired, stressed and burned out. I knew I had to push forward somehow but… ‘My mojo was no mo’.
The word “mojo” comes from an African language and relates to magic and spells to generate luck and power. In today’s language, the word still refers to a source of vigor, energy, sexual potency and power. An entire Austin Powers movie was devoted to his lost mojo and his desperate search to find it. He ultimately discovers his mojo is within, and that he had access to it all along. Groovy baby.
If you are feeling depleted, overwhelmed, stressed-out, frumpy, tired, bored or lethargic, you may have lost your mojo.
Once you lose it, it is really hard to find the motivation to reclaim it. But you can’t remain in that mojo-less place for too long, or your lost mojo might mushroom into a full-blown depression. I’ll never forget the moment I got my mojo back. I was in seeing my doctor for a standard wellness check and I complained about some of the ways I’d been feeling.
- Tired
- Anxious
- Irritable
- Lack of focus
- Poor sleep
My doctor ordered some blood work and about a week later my entire outlook on life changed! The doctor told me that I had low levels of Testosterone and that the low levels could very well be the cause of my symptoms. He explained that when men age, our testosterone levels naturally decline, and that my levels were also probably especially low due to the environmental factors of my life during the past 5 years. Stress apparently is no good for hormone balance!
The doctor gave me an injection of Testosterone and in no time I had my mojo back! Life became better, work easier, play time with the kids was more meaningful. I can’t imagine what my life would be like without Testosterone Replacement Therapy, and I never intend to find out! If you feel like you’ve lost your mojo, come in and see one of the physicians at Revive Health Center today and ‘Get your MOJO back’.
