TESTOSTERONE: MYTH vs FACT
MYTH: Testosterone is just about s*x and muscle.
FACT: Testosterone affects energy, motivation, mood, confidence, cognition, bone density, metabolism, and cardiovascular health.
MYTH: Low testosterone is just part of getting older.
FACT: Aging plays a role, but lifestyle, stress, sleep, insulin resistance, medications, and environmental toxins are major drivers of low testosterone at any age.
MYTH: Testosterone makes men aggressive or dangerous.
FACT: Healthy testosterone supports emotional regulation, confidence, and resilience. Dysregulation, not optimization, causes problems.
MYTH: If labs are “normal,” symptoms don’t matter.
FACT: Lab ranges reflect population averages, not optimal function. Symptoms and free testosterone matter.
MYTH: Testosterone therapy is about vanity or cheating.
FACT: Clinically indicated testosterone restores physiology. It improves quality of life, metabolic health, and long-term resilience.
MYTH: Treating testosterone shuts down natural production forever.
FACT: With proper dosing, monitoring, and individualized care, testosterone can be used safely and strategically.
MYTH: Testosterone causes heart disease or prostate cancer.
FACT: Current evidence does not support this when testosterone is prescribed appropriately and monitored.
FACT: Testosterone is foundational to male health.
Ignoring it doesn’t make men healthier. It makes them depleted. 👍
