Stop Surviving
Start Thriving

Testosterone gets you up in the morning and keeps your engine running all day. It builds your muscles, bones and the neurons in your brain. But low levels can cloud your thinking and slow you down to a crawl. 

Just ask former NFL quarterback Jim McMahon. When the two-time Super Bowl champ felt his usual high-octane energy levels suddenly drop, he knew something was wrong. “I was having problems with motivation,” said McMahon, known for his bravado and brash style on and off the field. “I just didn’t want to do anything and that’s not like me.”

Always in a league of his own, the legendary Chicago Bears player had retired from football but not from an active life. Inertia was completely out of character for this flamboyant QB who won fame, fortune and a stack of trophies for his epic athletic performances.

But 15 seasons of touchdowns also brought McMahon a bevy of injuries including concussions. Then he hit a slump with the constant fatigue and malaise that accompany chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), a degenerative brain condition triggered by repetitive head injuries. “I felt totally lethargic,” McMahon explained. “I lost all my momentum and couldn’t think straight.”

SottoPelle To The Rescue

Dr. Tutera began treating patients with CTE, TBI and Parkinson’s in 2013 with positive results. He discovered that using natural bioidentical hormone pellets offered relief for NFL players and even military veterans with PTSD.  

Meanwhile, McMahon made his own discovery. “I was talking to some ex-ballplayer friends who mentioned how their symptoms were improving with the SottoPelle Method,” he said. “I knew I had to do something.”

McMahon turned to SottoPelle co-founders Dr. Tutera and his wife CarolAnn in 2014 for help in treating his TBI.

A simple blood test showed that McMahon and other former NFL players had low T. After starting TRT therapy, they reported improvements in their mood, memory, mobility, muscle mass, motivation and well-being.

“It was a game-changer,” McMahon said. “SottoPelle helped improve my overall health and mental outlook. It gave me more energy and drive. It’s had such a positive impact on me. I feel like myself again.”
