TNT clinic; John entered TNT's Phase One wellness program.
Mayo Clinic and Shands.
I came to TNT as an employee first. John came to TNT as a result of an ER visit where he had what we believed at the time was a cardiac event.
In that process, there was no clear answer of what happened. So we come here and I started through the phase one program and got my blood work done and saw how bad I really was.
As we learned about our own wellness and we started feeling better. A natural result of feeling better is that personal, intimate relationship. And our personal, intimate relationship was damaged some years ago when John developed Peyronie's.
Peyronie's is when you get an injury to your penis and scar tissue develops. And basically from where the scar tissue is out, you lose feeling at first and you have a curvature. I didn't get it corrected then because it did not seem that big of a problem at the moment. And then about two or three months later, we're having sex and the wife tells me something ain't right.
We had tried everything. Mayo Clinic, Shands, all of them. We tried everything known to correct it and were told that basically we just.
Had to live with it from that on. I think it just. You don't realize what it does emotionally that to me as a man, I didn't feel like I could satisfy the wife anymore.
We were still young and that wasn't an option. And Lori gave us hope when she told us about Gainswave technology.
I didn't think anything was really going to help me, but I was definitely willing to try, especially after coming and meeting Lori and going through some of my nutritional end of it and her showing that she cares. I had to. She gives you a strength that you don't realize that you really have. And I've given up hope. I had.
Gainswave is a sound wave or pulse wave technology that uses sound waves to open capillaries and break out calcium particles. It's the scar tissue created clogged arteries, if you will.
You strip down and I'm going to tell you the emotional side of it. No other woman has touched me or seen me in 30 years. And I didn't think I would be able to do it. I really didn't. One of the things that Lori kept telling me and I did not want to listen to, she goes, john, it took you 50 years to get here. It's not going to be fixed overnight. But I wanted it fixed overnight. I was looking for that magic cure.
He was just like crying all the time, like, you got to be kidding. It's working. It's working. So the whole skeptical just became a challenge and a journey that became priceless, invaluable as a couple. We were together 20 years when John was injured. So what we gained from Gainswave and TNT was we regained the intimacy that we really had grown numb to. And so what I'd like to say is, wives, if your husband has Ed, there's an opportunity to fix that.
I would say she saved my life. After 30 years of marriage, you won't just say, well, it's an old shoe and stuff like that. But it's not, you know, it just grows closer and closer. And we do. And it has been tremendous. This is great. I don't want it to end, you know? Am I Superman yet? No. Do I want to be? Yes. There.
