What's the deal with all the radio ads for low T centers? Is every guy over 40 getting testosterone boost these days?
I think two things are driving this, and they are related. First, body fat converts testosterone into estrogen. So if you are obese, then you're probably going to have a low testosterone level. Second, testosterone is supposed to help men with low libido, sexual dysfunction, "low energy", fatigue, and weakness. Often times these men are not exercising at all and eating a terrible diet.
So basically the same thing causes both issues. Eating terrible food in huge quantities and not exercising causes obesity, "low energy", fatigue, weakness, and libido issues. Then they get their testerone tested and it's low due to obesity. So people start taking testosterone thinking it will fix their problem when really a healthy diet and some physical activity would do the trick. Obviously this isn't everyone, but in my experiece it's the overwhelming majority
