Doctors take an oath to care for their patients, but that care rarely extends to themselves. 

Dr. Jerry Mixon spent 21 years as a country doctor delivering babies and setting bones, and by his late 40s, the job had slowly hollowed him out. He was depressed, overweight, exhausted, and watching his marriage fall apart under the hours.

So he decided to test something on himself before he ever offered it to a patient: rebuild every major hormone back to where it stood in his twenties. Now, at 79, he runs three miles most mornings, benches 200 pounds, and still carries the hormone profile of a man half his age.

"I don't want an extra 10 or 15 years in the nursing home." ~ Dr. Jerry Mixon
