T-level expectations of Hegseth misread the basic science of testosterone

[NickB79]

21. 90% of low testosterone issues come from poor personal health choices

Eat healthy, with decent protein intake while watching your saturated fats, along with sufficient fiber and carbs.

Alcohol consumption, known to lower testosterone so limit yourself.

Exercise, a solid mix of cardio for heart health and weight lifting for lean muscle mass generation.

These all loop back to body fat control. Obesity greatly reduces testosterone production.

Sleep, get at least 6 uninterrupted hours a night.

And mental health, depression affects testosterone levels.

Defaulting to TRT without addressing these issues is just a bandaid solution.
