This is very true. As a 56 year old avid lifter and in great shape compared to the masses, my test was significantly under 200. On 100mg/week I felt/feel worlds better (believe me when I say I was in a very bad mental place prior to T optimization.)
But after 6 months, I came back at just over 300. But I felt like I had a new lease on life. My doc said he’d rather me be closer to 600 but we decided to just see how it plays out... for no other reason than curiosity. He’s a GP by the way.
But I definitely feel the titer of once per week at 100mg. By the end of the week prior to the next injection, I can feel it. It’s not horrible but it’s enough to make adjustments.
Getting my test in check was the best thing I ever could have done for myself.
One of the biggest myths in the world is that testosterone doesn’t matter with mental health. Of course, it’s not the be all, some folks require more chemical intervention, but hormone levels need to be checked and optimized (if needed) first.
It could be the answer.
