Why would someone care about their testosterone levels? If it's causing a problem shouldn't you are a doctor. If it's not then there is no problem in the first place.
Because an entire generation of online grigters convinced people that "big testo good, small testo bad". The same people who think baldness is a sign of low testoteron or that thin men have low t.
Isn't baldness literally linked to high testosterone?
These are the same people that think Joe rogan is smart.
Because he has such thick hair.
That is correct, But these guys want more testosterone because they think more testosterone = more man.
A specific type of testosterone, which also happens to be the most 'potent' one, but it, like many other occurrences in your body, has a lot of inputs and nuance to it.
Yep, transmascs taking T often have to worry about it as a side effect
Surely would explain why I have so much hair.
Well at least they are getting their veggies.
It's one of the four humours of brodom.
Can't say for much, but I do know testosterone is a drug (aka steroids) people willingly take to pursue a super muscular body type. Wouldn't be surprised if people tried alternatives to get the same effect, especially since onions are technically "natty" (natural)
There's probably also some folklore on test outside of bodybuilding, wouldn't be surprised if toxic influencers promoted it
Testosterone it's not a drug, but a hormone.
I should have specified in the context of bodybuilding. People naturally have testosterone, but when talking about bodybuilding, it's usually about people taking it as a performance enhancing drug.
