Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) is becoming popular among young men, many influenced by figures such as Joe Rogan and Dax Shepard. Experts indicate that increased discussions about TRT, particularly concerning hypermasculinity, have led to more college-aged men seeking prescriptions. Many influencers promote testosterone as a means to enhance masculinity, muscle growth, and libido, creating a misleading narrative about its necessity. In reality, TRT is medically necessary only for those with hypogonadism, a condition leading to significantly low testosterone levels and related symptoms. Misuse of testosterone therapies could pose serious health risks for young men.
TRT is used to treat patients with hypogonadism, a condition which causes low testosterone levels and a variety of symptoms - think brain fog, low energy and libido.
Experts say that unless we want Rogan and his ilk to be the ones educating our sons about testosterone therapies, we need to start our own conversations with them.
Digital media experts blame the desire to achieve hypermasculinity through boosting testosterone on the rise of manosphere influencers.
What's worse, they could potentially cause serious harm.
