Before / After

First of all, let me say this journey was not easy. It was not immediate. But, without Renew Vitality and Dr. Jacquemin, it would have been impossible. Before TRT and Renew Vitality’s Testosterone Clinic, I was a sad, depressed person. I hated myself for weighing over 400 pounds. I was a lousy husband—an inadequate father. And I had no clue how I let it get out of control. Once I created this unhealthy spiral, I could not find my way out. I had tried everything to the point where I relegated myself to “I will always be fat” and “I am going to die early.” I just assumed that would be my fate. You have to understand that I have tried everything outside of surgery. Every diet. Every drink. Most programs- all failed.

And then, I was introduced to Dr. Jacquemin. The trio of Dr. Jacquemin, Renew Vitality, and my personal Renew Vitality representative checking in on me weekly, at times- helped make the impossible possible; they helped save my life. Dr. Jacquemin has been one of the most hands-on doctors I’ve ever had. He goes beyond the normal “take this” and do this; he teaches patients and is an up-to-date subject matter expert in helping optimize your life, longevity, and TRT. He and Joe Walsh, the personal Renew Vitality representative, helped make this journey possible.

So, what is TRT doing for me? Well, the proof is in the pictures. I have been fat since my Army injury in 2006. I was fresh out of surgery and still eating as if I ran 5 miles a day. After being honorably discharged b/c the injury, I fell into a depression. That was not supposed to be the plan. The depression and weight gain continued for years. I was lost. I needed a change. I needed Renew Vitality.

After going through the process with Renew Vitality, my labs came back with what Dr. Jacquemin had suspected was wrong with me. Low testosterone. Now, I didn’t take the first dose and just jumped up ready to go. Getting my body back to a place where I could exercise took time daily. I’m pretty sure my metabolism was nonexistent. I let myself get to over 400 pounds. TRT started to kick in after the first three months. I could tell that I was feeling better; I wasn’t so sore; I started to love my life; I enjoyed sex again, but weight doesn’t just come off. I slowly lost weight in my first year, and then something happened. I hit a switch. I realized I am on TRT, and this stuff is working- now it is time for me to do some work. I started listening to everything Dr. Jacquemin said, including diet, etc. (along with my medication for anxiety). I made a choice not to waste this treatment. Not to waste this opportunity. My positive mental change was made possible b/c of the things testosterone replacement was showing me was possible. So, I committed fully and will never look back.

Look- TRT, Dr. Jacquemin, Renew Vitality, and Joe Walsh helped get my body and mind to a place where life was worth living. Without them, I don’t know how bad it would have gotten. Their ability to help me has unquestionably changed so many things for the positive. My wife and kids are happier now that Papi is happy. I go to every event and make the most out of it b/c there was a time when I was too embarrassed to show up. The positive ripples of the work done by these wonderful people will be felt for a lifetime and beyond. Thank you!

I really appreciate the knowledge and expertise of my Patient Coordinator Lyle Frank, with his assistance I was able to see a Doctor who specialized in Men’s Health and develop a program tailored to help me overcome both mental(I was struggling with productivity, and work related drive) and physical hurdles(soreness, fatigue, recovery) I was dealing with not only in the gym but in my day to day(work, family, etc.) because of Men’s Vitality I am having an amazing social life, family life, gym life. and the best sleep I’ve had in years. While all of us are different I can attest this experience has been life changing for me, Thanks Lyle, and Renew Vitality.

It’s been just 9 weeks, and I’ve gone from 200 lbs down to a solid 168 lbs, getting my cholesterol levels in check too. This method was hands down the easiest, safest, and quickest way I’ve found to drop the weight that I’ve been hauling around for 12 years. Even my family’s having a hard time recognizing the new me! Now I’m now starting to add muscle on a 10 week challenge. Huge shoutout to Renew Vitality and my patient coordinator Jay for making this transformation a reality!

Renew Vitality has changed my life. Growing up outdoors and playing sports in South Florida, I was always relatively thin and didn’t have much trouble staying in shape…until my mid-30s. I met my husband in 2010 and during the years of dating and early in our marriage, we developed a steadfast appreciation for high calorie foods, too much relaxing on the beach, and great wine. Years of “living the good life” slowly but surely packed the pounds on until I no longer recognized myself.  I was sedentary, overweight, and tired of the need to keep buying clothes in bigger sizes.

I started the Semaglutide weight loss program with Renew in July of 2022 and lost 48lbs in the first three months. To date, I’m 74lbs lighter than I was at my heaviest. I’ve gone from a size 16 to a size 2 and am now in the best shape of my life. Ridding myself of the excess weight made going to the gym easier and more enjoyable. I now work out 5x a week and am currently training for a triathlon. My husband was so shocked by how quickly I transformed that he also started the program and has lost 46lbs.

I love my new life and new body and am so grateful to the team at Renew Vitality for the jump start I needed for a healthier life.

Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Ben Kimmel and I am like anyone else in this world, which means I am a real person.

Safe to say that age happens to everybody. It is also safe to say that in my case, age happened to me as well.

I gained a tremendous amount of weight. Aside from a slim-waistline, I lost my confidence and my drive. I was sluggish and uncomfortable to say the least. My depression was unrelenting and my days were unexciting and my diet was poor.

I came to the realization that I did not like myself, nor did I like what I saw when I looked in the mirror each morning. So, this is when (and why) I needed help the most.

The hardest call to make was the first call, which in fairness; I admit to the shame that kept me from reaching out for help in the past.

I assumed the worst.

I made calls to different doctors who were less-than sensitive to an already humble dilemma.

I tried a better diet and nutritional options but at the same time; I knew that I needed more help.

I wanted to feel better. I wanted to look better and also, I wanted to perform better.

I reached out to Renew Vitality . . .

This is when I was connected with my patient coordinator Lyle Frank. (AKA: A life-saver)

Not only is my weight down more than 60lbs, my body looks better than it did when I was young and in my prime.

In all fairness, I knew there needed to be a change. I say this because what happened was I saw a photograph and wondered who that person was and why they looked so fat . . .”

It was me. I gained so much weight that I didn’t even recognize myself in a photograph. The shame I felt from this was unthinkable. But at the same time, the shame I felt from this encouraged me to change direction, so rather than eat more and put myself into a food coma; I made a choice to seek better health.

I was encouraged to create a W.R.A.P (Wellness Recovery Action Plan.) I had never heard of anything like this before, but Lyle Frank introduced me to the process. I worked on a plan and held myself accountable for my actions. I improved my eating habits. I improved my exercise routine. I created a resource of wellness guides and support, and yes, this was all due to the helpful suggestions of my coordinator, Lyle. The process was easy. I had my labs done. I spoke with a doctor and just like that, my WRAP included.

I have transformed and yes, I did the work to make this happen; however, I was not alone on this journey. Lyle was there to guide me through the steps as well as support me through my intimidations regarding how to deliver my injections, which are simple for me now.

I was guided and shown and encouraged and as a result of this; like any fine mixture of ingredients and hard work, I have a flat stomach. I have my dignity back. And, I have a sex life now . . .

In the beginning:

My A1C was over 11. My BMI was approaching obesity. My self-esteem was lower than the floor and I had no hope. I am currently down over 60lbs, My A1C is a 5.2 which is below the Type2 Diabetic range. My cholesterol is normal. My blood pressure is normal. However, my ability is above normal. My energy levels are better than when I was a teen. I heal and recover quickly.

My testosterone levels have improved and the peptide therapies are truly a gamechanger. I went with Tesamorelin,CJC1285-Ipamorelin and the ride has been smooth ever since my journey began!

I am in the best shape of my life.

I feel healthy and I look healthy and as a person who has lived with life-long, medicated resistant depression, I feel better than I have ever felt in my entire life.

Thank you Lyle –

You’ve done more for me than you will ever know.

This is why I’m keeping my program with you and Renew!

I have struggled with my weight my entire life. It didn’t matter how many sports I played or how much I worked out, I still managed to carry extra weight. I have worked in the age management and hormone industry for 2 decades, and even with all the knowledge and resources available to me, I was unable to maintain a healthy weight. I would commit for a while and lose a good amount only to have it bounce right back shortly after. I have an unhealthy relationship with food and lack discipline when it comes to deciding what, and how much, to eat. Until now! The weight loss options now available at Renew Vitality have changed my life. I have been able to lose all of my extra weight, and maintain it for longer than ever before. I no longer struggle with cravings and binge eating and am able to enjoy life more. My confidence is higher and my energy levels and productivity are at an all time high. I could not be more thankful for the transformation that Renew Vitality has helped me achieve.

I started a Hormone Replacement and Weight Loss Program with Renew Vitality a year ago. Dr. Jacquemin is an expert in both of these fields and fine tuned my program to produce incredible results. At 43 years old with 3 kids and a heavy workload, it was hard to stay in shape, and as life got busier my physique went downhill. Thanks to the staff at Renew Vitality and Dr Jacquemin, I am in the best shape of my life, have energy like I did 20 years ago and I feel incredible. If you want a life changing transformation, clinically supervised, that is both safe and effective, Renew Vitality is the only option. I cannot recommend this organization highly enough.
