For years, Michael W. struggled with the kind of obstacles many men silently endure: a plateaued weight despite previous progress, crushing fatigue, low testosterone, impotence, and a sense that no doctor was truly listening to him.
Despite once weighing 475 lbs and working hard to bring that number down, his progress stalled at 340 lbs. More than just numbers on a scale, Michael felt worn out, drained, and increasingly disconnected from his own body and vitality. Even his A1C levels were climbing again. Traditional care wasn’t working—and he knew something had to change.
That’s when he heard about Dr. Carrozzella and the Florida Center for Hormones and Wellness.
After putting off the call for months, Michael finally reached out—and that decision changed his life.
In the video below, Michael shares his transformation in his own words.
My Journey with Dr. Carrozzella’s Hormone Optimization Therapy
Before I started Dr. Carrozzella’s hormone optimization therapy, my weight had plateaued at 340 lbs, which was a significant decrease from my heaviest in 2005 at 475 lbs. Despite my efforts, losing more weight and maintaining a healthy A1C was a constant struggle. In the fall of 2023, I began seeing Dr. Carrozzella weighing around 340 lbs with an A1C over 7.
Since my treatments with Dr. Carrozzella, I am now maintaining around 240 lbs and averaging an A1C of 5.7. His holistic approach has impressed my cardiologist, leading to the lowering of my statin dosages.
Not only did my weight and A1C improve, but his recommended treatments also addressed my impotence issues stemming from diabetes and cardiovascular problems. These treatments have significantly enhanced this aspect of my life. Overall, I have more stamina and energy to live life to the fullest without feeling drained. We travel extensively and enjoy our life, and even when I get a simple cold or flu, my recovery is much quicker due to being healthier.
After experiencing numerous health issues for 24 months and hearing from a close friend about their positive experiences with Dr. Carrozzella, I decided it was time to make an appointment. I had initially forgotten to call Dr. Carrozzella after first meeting him in the spring of 2022. However, the results since starting his treatments have been profound. Unlike my previous local doctor, Dr. Carrozzella treats me as a whole person rather than just focusing on the numbers, utilizing modern medical technology.
My family practitioner at the time constantly debated the effectiveness of Dr. Carrozzella’s treatments. In response, I questioned my practitioner, “What have your treatments done for me over the last 4 years?” The remarkable results from Dr. Carrozzella’s approach have given me full confidence in his ability to help me live my life to the fullest and feel better both physically and mentally. My self-esteem has improved dramatically, and I am excited to see what the next 12 plus months will bring.
To top it all off, I am now wearing a men’s waist size 36, a size I haven’t worn since the sixth grade. This transformation has been nothing short of remarkable, and I am grateful for Dr. Carrozzella’s expertise and dedication to his patients. His treatments have not only improved my health but also my overall quality of life.
