Why So Many Guys Are Obsessed With Testosterone
March/May 2026...Adding to the confusion is the fact that common issues like obesity, diabetes, stress and poor sleep can themselves cause testosterone levels to go down, creating a self-perpetuating cycle. Many doctors urge men to try changing their diet and exercise first to see if that raises their T levels naturally before deciding whether to start on T.R.T. “T does not decline significantly with age alone,” said Dr. Mohit Khera, a urologist at Baylor College of Medicine. “A chunk of it is that we’re becoming a sicker population.”
...The fact that the online clinics prescribe testosterone so indiscriminately means that, for those men, the only benefit will most likely be an increase in muscle mass. For many, of course, that’s more than enough. But the marketing often goes much further, telling men that testosterone could fix their minds and bodies. “Online, everyone is saying testosterone is the solution to all of your problems,” Dubin says. “And we have to be very clear that it’s not.”
