New York Post • • health
Key Points:
- Men's testosterone levels decline by about 1% per year starting around age 30, often leading to symptoms like low energy and brain fog, as experienced by NFL Hall of Famer Calvin Johnson.
- Testosterone deficiency affects 10%-40% of adult males and can cause fatigue, loss of muscle, weight gain, weaker bones, reduced sex drive, and cognitive issues.
- Johnson used the Hims Men’s Core Panel, a telehealth service that tests 22 biomarkers including testosterone, cholesterol, and vitamin D, with results reviewed by licensed healthcare providers.
- Treatment options for low testosterone may include enclomiphene-based oral medication, available without insurance through telehealth providers like Hims.
- Experts note that while it is unclear if testosterone therapy extends lifespan, it significantly improves physical, sexual, and cognitive well-being in men with low levels.
