Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT)
Physician-prescribed testosterone substitution for diagnosed deficiency (hypogonadism). Highly effective in true deficiency — but unproven and not risk-free as a 'longevity booster' for men with normal levels.

How it works
Testosterone replacement therapy delivers testosterone when the body's own production is clinically too low (hypogonadism). The hormone acts via androgen receptors on muscle, bone, libido, mood and metabolism. Very effective in true deficiency, but as lifestyle optimisation in healthy men it carries real risks (e.g. fertility) and needs medical supervision.
Dosage
Form (gel, injection) and dose are set strictly by a physician based on bloodwork and symptoms.
Considerations
Clear indication: symptomatic, lab-confirmed hypogonadism — there TRT markedly improves quality of life, muscle, and bone density. Not a proven longevity tool for men with normal testosterone. Risks: suppression of your own production and fertility, polycythemia (thickened blood), acne; cardiovascular safety is still debated (the TRAVERSE trial was largely reassuring). Requires diagnosis, titration, and monitoring by a physician — self-medication is dangerous.
