Step one then get on TRT, turn off the news.

Yup
If every men did that we would have a drastically better country overnight
Or just eat some protein, lift weights, and start jiu jitzu. No need to pay for what may or may not be “safe and effective” T shots and all that other shit they wanna sell ya.
Right I agree that lifestyle intervention comes first. I took the above to mean some kind of medical issue.
Ah copy. I think the T business is suspect. Yes some people need it for medical reasons for sure. But my understanding is once you are on it, you can’t really stop because your body becomes depends on it and stops producing it. So it is a hell of a business to get into! I bet one stop shopping ozempic and testosterone injections are just around the corner. High time preference fitness plan right there!
I agree with you, that said there’s definitely something in the environment that’s causing testosterone levels to fall. Maybe microplastics? Idk so I don’t judge anyone for taking trt.
I am judgy by nature so it’s tough for me; and I would only do it pseudonymously on social media of course. I also got talked into to taking a free testosterone level test (shocker I was ‘low’) and got on TRT for a few weeks with zero research. They put me on some other stuff as well to reduce my dependency on the synthetic testosterone. So 2 new substances in my body for life. I didn’t feel un-masculine, weak, depressed or anything beforehand, I just thought “why not optimize my performance and fitness?” Then I finally studied it and realized I just didn’t need it and was signing up for life essentially. So I bailed.
I also shoot from the hip with little info to back up my statements. This is just anecdotal. But it left a scammy impression on me. I just see it at as being used as a quick fix, get rich kick, shitcoin type of deal. Made me think the whole ‘masculinity movement’ was a psyop to sell shit via podcast ads.
Caveat is there are very valid medial and age related reasons for folks to TRT. If it makes one’s life better, then go for it.
