Saw this week’s episode of 30 Days, where a mid-life crisis causes a guy to try out testosterone, HGH, exercise and supplements for a month to get his body back to like when he was in high school. Uh huh.
The couple that did the experiment drove me nuts, especially the wife. At the beginning she’s excited saying things like “I hope it works for him so I can try it!” Laughing her way to the sperm bank as hubbie makes a deposit, because after all, all of the potential symptoms were explained and these jokers want to have a fourth kid some day.
So the treatments begin, and within a week, the guy’s liver is going to hell, and his sperm count drops from 80 million to zero. Wifey starts FREAKING OUT. What, was this not exactly what they told you was going to happen? Did you think you were going to the sperm bank for the kinky factor? At least we know they learned something, it can happen to you.
Sure, the guy lost some weight in the end, but the show didn’t really prove anything, as we didn’t have a control month where we saw the benefits of just exercise and a good diet alone. Oh well. Perhaps next week will be better.
