That said, TRT also has trade offs. It adds test and limits endogenous hormone production thus doesn’t help with any downstream hormones/metabolites and their effects. It’s not a free lunch that you want to get on if your T levels are still in ref range. We can’t actually give you the full hormonal system profile of a 20yo, just give you test which is only one of many differences between a 20yo and 50yo hormonal system.

Yet TRT tends to be peddled like it’s magic.
