How did Modern Mens Clinic get started?

Modern Men’s Clinic was founded by after its Founder John Garren had his own struggles with low testosterone. In his late 30’s after working as a paramedic, transitioning into nursing, and going back to school to be an NP he could not get ahead no matter how much he tried. No matter how much he worked out, ran, ate right, or even increased his sleep he was always tired and had no energy. He wanted to be there for his family but at times it was hard to get off the couch. His energy was gone. Just a few years prior he was working hard running multiple business while still working full time in the hospital without any problem. Something had changed but he wasn’t sure what. All his normal labs were fine. After speaking with his primary care provider, he tried to get tested for Low T but they did not think that was a factor.

With no other options he took a take home test. When he did his level was less than half of what the recommendation to start TRT therapy and a quarter of what was consider normal. He went back to his PCP to try and Get testosterone supplementation. In the meantime, he went to a functional medicine specialist he knew to help get lab work drawn. With multiple abnormal results and even the PCP's own results showing I don't know levels he still struggled to get the prescription he needed to try to feel better. After multiple abnormal tests he was finally placed on the lowest dose possible once every two weeks which is not optimal which caused wild swings in this testosterone level. After completing a lot of research himself he found that there are better ways for his testosterone to be managed and prescribed and he wondered if other men were having the same problem that he was. On many forms, social media, and other information outlets he found the same struggles other men were having as well. Not only did they have trouble getting tested they had trouble been being treated once abnormal results were found. That sparked the idea that there must be a better way. After a few years of research, talking with other providers, and his own love of running businesses the idea of a Modern Men’s Clinic was formed. The overall goal was to provide men with easy access to testing, easy access to safe and appropriate care, and providing symptom relief. With these core concepts he believed he could help promote men's overall health and maybe help men stop neglecting their overall health to live longer and more productive lives.
