Testosterone Therapy Is Transforming Aging

May 2024 · 3 minute read

Shivin Devgon just couldn’t shake that sluggish feeling. Toward the end of 2021, the San Diego software engineer thought his health was on the right track. He exercised regularly and was able to perform well at work. Still, he lacked energy, and his mood always felt off.

“I would feel tired a lot of the time,” Devgon told GQ. “I wouldn’t feel happy. I would just feel kind of dead.”

While Devgon was wondering what was wrong, he started reading about the increasingly prominent theory that toxins in pesticides and plastics are throwing off men’s endocrine systems—and he started to wonder about his own testosterone levels.

The question to ask: are Shivin's testicals now the size of peas?

Oh fuck science! It's completely wrong and irrelevant!

Apologies, gentlemen. Clueless how I ended up posting here.

It's pretty much the male equivalent of this

How common is testosterone therapy? I saw this article in my feed today and it referred to "rich" men. So I assume it's not covered by insurance and costs a lot.

Big names who have endorsed hormone therapy include Joe Rogan, who said in 2018 that he began testosterone replacement therapy when he was 40, claiming it “makes a big difference.” Sylvester Stallone is on the record as a supporter: "Everyone over 40 years old would be wise to investigate it, because it increases the quality of your life,” he told Time magazine. And last summer Dax Shepard revealed he had gained nearly 30 pounds and added muscle mass thanks to “heavy” testosterone injections, but that the mental effects were the most pronounced. "Forget the body,” he said. “Mentally, I love it, because it makes me far more on fire to be alive."

Those are just the well-known men who have talked about hormone therapies, of course. Speculation surrounds middle-aged rich guys like Jeff Bezos, who is rumored to be an investor in a buzzed-about anti-aging startup and seems to be aging in reverse into Billionaire Mr. Clean, with viral fit pics to match. (For the record, people close to Bezos attribute his transformation strictly to diet and exercise.)

"Every wonder why old rich guys are looking a little more muscular these days?"

The image of masculinity 😂

You’d have to be on it for life then right? Because coming off of it would feel horrible. It figures Dax is a fan because he’s a drug addict.
