Testosterone levels are in decline — for men of all ages. It’s not clear exactly what’s behind the drop, but pharmaceutical companies have been proffering cures, convincing men that the answer to all their ailments is a testosterone supplement. Don’t buy it. Testosterone fluctuates throughout life — watch out for that post-baby drop! — and for most men, it won’t fall to a level that could cause health issues. So that weight gain and muscle mass loss? Erectile dysfunction and balding? Sorry, but low T is probably not the cause. A more likely cause is your lifestyle, and testosterone supplements can’t make up for a lifestyle filled with couch surfing and midnight pizza instead of long runs and grain bowls. |
