Why am I so driven to work in
the age management field?
Basically it was for my own personal, mental, and spiritual well
being.
Marc Darrow, M.D.
A few years back when I was in my early forties, I began to
notice a significant decrease in my energy levels. In other
words, I was dragging.
I also noticed that I was losing muscle mass, I was getting
softer. I didn’t have the energy to “pump up,” anymore and I was
not able to exercise at levels I was accustomed to. “Well,
that’s it, I am getting old,” I thought.
I was at a medical convention and spoke to a colleague about "my
condition," and he suggested that I should get my hormone levels
checked. When I got my test results back my
testosterone levels
were so low they didn’t make the charts; way below the normal of
anyone I had ever seen before.
Suffice to say, my curiosity in hormone supplementation was
sparked. Because my testosterone was so very low and
testosterone is the well known builder of bone, I immediately
got a Bone Densitometry Test to measure my bone density. I was
stunned as the tech told me the news in disbelief. It was very
low as well, putting me at a high risk for fracture. I was
absolutely stunned, I had to stop a lot of sports I was doing,
and loved. I realized that snow skiing, snow shoeing, water
skiing, and surfing, some of my favorites, no longer existed
for me. No more vacations in the snow or ice. No more high-speed
water sports.
It was then that I started to study and research HGH (Human
growth hormone), pregenenolone, DHEA, thyroid, Melatonin and the
affects of diet on all of them and how the body works with this
big maze of hormones to keep people feeling good, not only
increasing quality of life but making them healthy on many
levels. Initially, I used testosterone intermittently, because
of the fear doctors projected based on the problems with body
builders, and men with prostate cancer. As I researched more and
more, I learned the healthy truth about hormones, and later
began total Hormone Replacement Therapy.
As time passed, more and more patients arrived with similar
issues that I had, and many with sexual dysfunction. Hormone
supplementation was working miracles. I treated friends for
free, and eventually learned the art of balancing female
hormones. Many relationships were revitalized as the couples
individually found their “mojo” again. Romance once again arose
in couples that were ready to give it up, because they thought
the chemistry was gone.
I have now been doing this work for years and continue to attend
different seminars around the country to learn as much new
research as possible. The field of age management
medicine, as it is called by some is growing so quickly. Us baby
boomers expect the best out of life, and demand the best quality
of life, which is greatly enhanced by hormone supplementation.
My goal in life is to remain young and loving, not only on the
inside, but also physically, mentally, emotionally, and
spiritually. My children are my finest teachers. |

"As my personal sports
doctor, (Dr. Darrow) has never given me a drug for any of my
injuries. He is of the thinking that unless a drug is necessary, it
is better to allow inflammation to do nature's work." (page 130).

Certain studies including the Woman's Health

increase the risk of certain cancers, heart disease,
stroke and other ailments. These risks should be
discussed with your health care professional while
deciding on, implementing, or continuing Hormone
Replacement Therapy (HRT)
The option to use Human Identical Hormones or Bio-identical hormones should also be
discussed with your medical care provider as there is
not sufficient medical evidence at this time to suggest
that they are safer than synthetic hormones and may pose
equal risk.
