TOT exerts powerful biological effects on brain development and function by increasing dopamine, alleviating depression, and improving cognition and memory. It also prevents osteoporosis and frailty in aging population, which is the #1 cause of death for that age group.

TOT has profound effects on fighting inflammation via suppression of inflammatory cytokines and stimulation of anti-inflammatory cytokines.

Therapeutic dosages of testosterone for hormone optimization will completely change your physique by increasing your muscle mass, which will in turn decrease your body fat. This will be optimized with a dialed-in lifestyle consisting of a clean diet and a productive resistance and cardiovascular training regimen.

TOT, or testosterone optimization therapy, improves heart health while preventing cardiovascular diseases. The hysteria created by mainstream media about therapeutic testosterone increasing the risk of cardiovascular disease in otherwise normal and healthy men is scientifically unsupported.

Sperm counts are falling due to pesticide exposure, along with endocrine-distributing chemicals like BPA (bisphenol A) found in commonplace items like water bottles. Exposure to phthalates (chemicals found in plastics and personal care products) is feminizing males by blocking normal testosterone production.

Hypogonadism (suffering from low levels of testosterone) has two types:

Primary – Results from defects of gonads
Secondary – The testicles are normal but don’t function properly due to the problems listed above. This is where most aging men fall.

Environmental pollutants, contaminants, and particulates in the air are bombarding our endocrine system. Men are particularly susceptible to hormone-suppressing phytoestrogens (like soy protein) and a host of other toxins our bodies were not meant to handle.

Natural testosterone production occurs but is thwarted by modern-day societal living. Living in cities, working all day under fluorescent lights, and eating manufactured GMO food is destroying our bodies.

Low T is a clinical diagnosis, not a lab diagnosis. There is nothing ethically or morally wrong with optimizing your body’s testosterone levels. When you have a headache, do you think twice before taking aspirin?

Testosterone levels peak in men between ages of 20-30 and begin declining thereafter. 10 years ago, testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) wasn’t considered for men under 30. Now, it’s becoming more commonplace because men are getting educated about the best ways to address their natural decline in testosterone.

Using it productively is a lifelong strategy. It’s like a gym membership and should be factored as such and budgeted for every year.

If you have 4 or more of the below symptoms, you should consider further testing under the supervision of a medical provider to explore TOT.

Mental fog or loss of focus
Indecisiveness or hesitancy
Lack of energy
Decreased work performance
Decreased sex drive or sexual performance
Decreased strength and endurance
Decreased enjoyment of life
Noticeable change in behavior

Experiencing symptoms of low testosterone recognized by physician

For men in their 20s and 30s, test 1-2 times a year.
For men in their 40s, test 2-3 times a year.

Pellets – Hard to control dosage and must limit activities involving water. Requires a recovery time with limited activity and water avoidance, and also has potential scar-tissue problems.

Oral – Convenient but not effective. Clinical data doesn’t support efficacy.

Topicals – An impractical delivery system. Patients have to avoid activities that would affect application area for hours. Absorption rate is based on other factors (dry skin, body hair, etc.)
