The problem with testosterone therapy for young men, according to a top researcher.

As Pete Hegseth calls for a “ high-T ” military (and walks back “premature” plans for mandatory testosterone testing for male troops over 30) while looksmaxxer Clavicular admits he secretly ordered the hormone as a teen , testosterone therapy is center-stage in the male wellness space . Advocates claim that testosterone therapy for young men will transform their faces and help them attract women, revamp already healthy bodies into superhuman physiques, and generally make them be more “manly ,” regardless of the risks or the actual medical necessity. Yet, while testosterone therapy is a well-documented medical treatment for people who have a deficiency, and a key element of gender-affirming care, it’s not really something that the average young man needs.
