Before & After

“In my 30’s and into my 40’s I noticed a significant loss in energy and stamina and often had troubles making it though a day without taking a nap. I also experienced slow and steady weight gain that I just couldn’t control. In August of 2015 weighing 196 lbs the heaviest in my life, I contacted Dr Kauf at Chicagoland Men’s Health for an appointment.

The blood tests and physical completed by Chicagoland Men’s Health showed that I had low levels of testosterone. Shortly after with their supervision I started Testosterone replacement therapy. After about 2 months I saw a significant increase in energy levels and I was finally able to make it through the day without a nap. I also experienced a welcomed increase in sexual drive, endurance and stamina. I took this new found energy and drive and poured it into my fitness activities which include weights at the gym, biking and I even started doing hot yoga. Six months into my journey I had lost about 10 lbs and built some nice new muscle mass and was feeling great and starting to look better. I wasn’t done and wanted more so I kept pushing. At the 1 year mark I had lost over 20lbs and built the muscles back that I use to have in my 20’s. I was finally feeling good and looking good. Don’t think at all that testosterone replacement is a magic bullet that will solve all your problems. You have to put in the work, you have to workout, you have to look at your diet, you have to make changes in your life. After going through this process, this transformation I can say that I have no doubt that the Testosterone replacement helped me significantly meet my goals. I will even say that I have exceeded my goals. I’ll be 50 years old in a few months and I’m ripped 🙂 What more could you ask for….. Thanks Dr Kauf”

“I got my testosterone levels tested after feeling super sluggish and was at 370 at the age of 30. I was always a runner/biker who lifted several times a week, tracked my macros, but struggled to really make progress. I was hesitant to start at first, because of my younger age, but I did my own research. The truth is that we live in a high stress environment (I have a high pressure tech executive position) and we are bombarded with endocrine disrupters everywhere, which tanks your testosterone levels far below what the average was even just 60 years ago.
Immediately after TRT had a huge increase in energy levels, was finally able to gain muscle, and lost a lot of stubborn body fat. It’s been 3 years so far and I have zero regrets. I have zero issues keeping up with my two young children’s and feel incredible everyday. I was able to build and keep on as much muscle as I wanted with just roller skating 1-2 hours everyday with my kids (photos are just before starting, 6 months into it, and 3 years into it taken last month).
This is a no nonsense clinic, they are quick and efficient. Marc, Maria, and the rest of the staff are a pleasure to work with. Every blood draw to check my levels is painless and extremely quick too. Everything is shipped to my door at an excellent price, 10/10 experience.”

“Two weeks ago was my 1 year anniversary of being on the low testosterone treatment from Chicagoland Men’s Health and the only thing I regret is that I didn’t start earlier as suggested by my friends and family members. The changes in one year are so noticeable in my life for the better that I cannot speak highly enough about the team that took care of me at the office. From the first visit, to the dialed in dosage to regular testing with personalized results and second to none communication from the staff – it’s truly a experience.
Yes, you’ll notice more energy, more explosive workouts, libido thru the roof, more confidence and more consecutive positivity which you can channel to your personal and professional life.
Your family, friends and associates will notice these changes – and you’ll get compliments which will only fuel more positivity in your life.
At 42, I feel great, I’ve lost fat and gained muscle, I feel confident and my goals are now more clear and achievable. Our sex life is beyond anything we expected.
No, you still have to work out, put in the hours but the results will only drive you to push yourself further..
Next year you’d wish you made the call today.”

“Where I want to be regarding weight…definitely more defined than I’ve been in decades.”

“Hope these pics can be part of your story. I’ve lost 25+ lbs & much leaner.”

“As someone who takes my health and fitness extremely seriously, I was recommended to Dr. Kauf and the team at Chicagoland Men’s Health by none other than my Father. Skeptical at first and going into my first appointment with some apprehension, from the moment I walked in and still 6 months later, I’ve had a great patient experience and can say without any doubt, this practice has made a tremendous impact in my physical, mental and possibly even my spirutal health. The services I receive at Chicagoland Men’s Health have been superb. I’ve been so pleased with my results that I even referred my two good friends Matt and Hallie (yes, female’s are patients here as well) and they too are very happy with the level of customer service, professionalism, the knowledge Dr. Kauf and his team have and at the end of the day the quantifiable and real results seen within around 2/3 months or so. Not to mention, you will never, ever meet another doctor who is as quick to respond with any questions or concerns as promptly as Dr. Kauf. I’m a real patient and this is my real experience.”

“I’ve totally transformed my body last year through Chicagoland Men’s Health program! Thank you!”

“I’m 60 and have been going to Chicagoland Men’s Health since 2018. I’m stronger than any time in my life. I love it!”

“Best choice in mens health.
I refer everyone here.
Look and feel years younger.
I’m turning 50 this month.”

“Thanks Mike I feel like a new man “

“I wish more men took their blood work seriously, has a huge effect on mental health. This is just the outside, but it’s reflective of the inside. This is my pic pre TRT and 1 year after!”

“310 to 240 in 4.5 months! I’ve lost 70 pounds since starting your TRT program In January and am feeling great!”

“I went from 220lbs to 158lbs in the last 5 months on the program. Starting eating clean and working out 5 days a week. I’m really happy and feel great! Thank you Dr Kauf!”

“I was in my early 30’s and had zero sex drive, no desire to exercise and was overwhelmed and depressed.

Thanks to Chicagoland Men’s Health and Dr. Kauf I found out the problem was my low testosterone levels. I’m now able to live an active healthy lifestyle and lead by example for my child.”

“I’m a 37 year old, Director of Information Technology. I started out at 206 lbs, 38 inch waist and 47% body fat.

After 2 years of TRT w/ Dr. Mike and his team, I’m down to 178lbs, 32 inch waist and 17% body fat. Those are the physical benefits. My mental clarity, focus, and energy levels feel higher than when I was in my early 20’s. I wish I started working with Chicagoland Men’s Health sooner!”

“I started with CMH about 2 years ago due to being diagnosed w/ LOW T @ a younger age. Some of my symptoms included lack of energy IE. Always feeling tired, decreased lean body mass and increased body fat around my mid section. Once I started my TRT program I started to notice the difference within the first month & have never felt better!

Initially I had more energy for work and energy to push myself through with my current fitness regime. I also changed my lifestyle by not drinking alcohol on a weekend basis and cleaned up my daily meals to a cleaner more nutrient based diet. Within 30 days of making these changes I had dramatic results which resulted in 10lbs of weight loss and around 10% decreased BF w/ increased lean body mass. I am now living my best life and staying true to the program with bi-annual blood-work and utilizing the professional resources provide to me by CMH. I would encourage anyone with any signs or symptoms of Low-T to seek the professional medical consulting @ CMH and get started today the time is now!”

“I lost 30 pounds and went to under 17 percent body fat on the Chicagoland Men’s Health HRT program!”

“The past year has been life changing. Worked on managing diet, training and recovery. Only down 10 lbs but lost 10% body fat, gained strength and recomp’ing. At 53, I feel better than I have in 25 years. Still have a long way to go. Thanks for your support!”

“Thanks Mike!”

“From 317lbs when I first met you in October of 2021, to 249lbs in May 2023!”

“Doc, wanted to share a before and after. I started a year ago today!!”

“I wrote the review but realized I haven’t given you all a thank you. It’s been a journey and honestly can’t believe how much of a difference you all made in my life. Attached are a few photos I’ve taken that shows just how much my body has changed in only a year and a half. I found you in July or August 2022, when I was 225lbs or so. I am now 150lbs and lean.

I’m super impressed with the results and honestly can’t believe how fast this has been.”

“I’ve been on the program for a little while now and it’s changed my life tremendously! I got out of the military and hit a point of depression and massive weight gain and knew something was wrong. I came across you guys and scheduled the appointment. I never realized would change my life! Energy is way up and can finally focus better and best of all I’m looking better!”

“This treatment has been life changing! Getting to my mid 30’s I started not feeling myself anymore. Constantly tired, no motivation, sex drive plummeting, and in the worst shape of my life. There was a long time that I knew something must have been off but never acted on that feeling. I finally decided to get my testosterone tested and sure enough I was severely low (lower 100’s). After 2 months I felt my whole life change back to my younger self. Not only have I lost 30lbs while putting on muscle, I went from being on the verge of having to take high cholesterol medication to not needing any! I’ve been on the program for little over a year and this is the best/healthiest I’ve felt/looked in 15 years! I can not recommend enough.”

“Hey Mike, 9 months, before and after for the both of us, same beach in Puerto Rico, and my cholesterol went down from 220 to 170. Thank you!”

“I am 50 years old I felt and looked horrible. Then just after the first 3 months of your help I now look 10 years younger and feel 20 years better. I’m on the path to being how I want to be!”

“Improved mood and motivation. Increased feeling of well being. Just amazing!”

“I was always an athlete and I played minor league hockey. I then broke my L1 L2 L3 and L4 vertebrae. The corticosteroids that were prescribed made me gain so much weight that I hit 365lbs.

After starting with Chicagoland Men’s Health about a year ago, I’m down over 100 lbs and feel amazing.

I love Dr. Mike and Dr. Marc!”

“More muscle tone and much more cut. I feel amazing!”

“I have just completed first 2 months of TRT – and it’s been quite the experience. Besides the increase of energy and libido, one thing that has been mainly noticed by my significant other was the change in my day to day mood. I am more positive, more optimistic and overall happy than I have been in last 5-8 years. My daily focus on getting things done has been noticed not only by my coworkers but others as well. I first noticed the change within two weeks of TRT – just more energy for sure. My time in the gym is now more productive, and so is my intimate time with her – while the blue pill gives you the physical effect, the TRT gives you both – the mental stimulation and the physical performance. While already fit, this took my workouts and physique to another level – lost majority of belly fat while hardening my muscles. I feel more confident, more fit and more comfortable in my body, like back in the day. Highly recommended by my brother and a good friend – I am glad I took their advice. The appointment and visit was oriented towards my goals, the dosage recommendation was on points and communication with the office is second to none. This was one of the best investments in myself and my wellbeing.

My only regret is that I didn’t start this journey with before picture!”

“Thanks for all your help Mike!”

“Hi Mike, I wanted to let you know that I have lost 93lbs in the last 8 months on Dr. Adajar’s program. Thank you!”

“Dr. Marc has helped me completely bounce back for having three chirldren. With out his support and help in finding what was right for me, there is no way I would have be able to get back to feeling as healthy and happy as I am! Thank you!!.”
