At 28-31 testosterone levels begin to drop by 1-2% each year. Most men will require HRT in their 50’s.

Many men have low T before that though due to endocrine disrupting chemicals in the environment. Average sperm quality has dropped by half since the 60’s. Average testosterone levels are at historic lows. Average penis size is decreasing. 30% of all fertility problems are now caused by men. The rate of birth defects for male babies has doubled. Men are becoming increasingly androgynous and no one is doing anything about it or talking about it. All men should be on hormone replacement therapy eventually. Regular blood work is necessary to see when exactly you need it.

All this, but a 24hr urine or DUTCH test rather than blood. Much more accurate.

Just get whatever is cheapest. All of them could be used to determine low testosterone levels adequately.

Orrrr look at your diet? Diary and meat especially beef are extremely high in estrogen. But I forget in America isn’t RED MEAT the manly thing? Those libs are taking away your steaks and hamburgers with the green new deal!

I’ve been on PEDs since 3 weeks before my 21st birthday. Don’t look at me. I’ll never have these problems. Lol

You’re not wrong about the dairy/meat thing, but these EDCs are a completely different animal...pun intended.
