ARE YOU struggling to be the man you were always meant to be? You might have low testosterone. Walk into Gameday Men’s Health clinic and you will find yourself in their “man cave”, a waiting-room decked out with black leather armchairs, televisions and a well-stocked fridge. A nurse practitioner will do a blood test and check if your testosterone levels are normal. If you are indeed deficient—or if you’re technically not but you’re experiencing symptoms of exhaustion, depression or trouble putting on muscle and having stamina during sex—they can inject you with your first dose of testosterone within the hour. Refer a friend for $50 off your next weekly treatment.
