What's worse is people asking how to lower their T levels so they can get on TRT. Instead of looking at everything that's causing their low t - like terrible diet, lifestyle, stress, anti-depressants, lack of exercise, smoking, alcohol, AAS use - they look for the quick fix. IMO it's no better than the kids looking for a quick fix. "I don't work out well unless I'm on AAS. I must have low T. Time to blast cruise for the rest of my life."

More and more research is coming out showing that age significantly less to do with T levels than previously believed. TRT is going the way of anti-depressants. In a few years it will be a heavily over prescribed mask to symptoms of much greater problems.

Most people these days, regardless of age, want a quick fix. It's hard to blame em when it's presented as a safe, simple solution to their problem. I know I take the bait too often.

Btw, I'm one of those people who used aas when I could have gained naturally. I had shoulder surgery and didn't work out for nearly 9 months. Diet went to shit and lost a ton of muscle. I could have easily recovered naturally back to where I was, but I wanted a faster, easier solution.

+100. i've been telling guys with low T this advice for years on here.

want better libido, sleep, energy?? change your lifestyle.

the problem is these docs don't make money changing peoples lifestyle.. they make money putting them on HRT forever.

You are right, it's all about money. And there's a lot of it to go around. Prescriptions for treating symptoms of other prescriptions.

I did some marketing work for a doctor who recently got into prescribing Suboxone - a drug for opiate addicts. I asked him how long his patients are usually on the drug. "Most of them are on suboxone for life". WTF?! Many of his patients are young adults or even teenagers who could absolutely get their shit together. But instead they are told "you need this, and you need to take it forever or you won't be happy."

He charges $200 for the first visit and you have to see him once a month for $100/mo. He prescribes 1 month's worth at a time and you better believe that if you don't see him to get your prescription filled next month, you're in full blown drug withdrawals.

All they do is switch out the drug addiction for something legal and profitable. There is certainly a place for drugs like this but its another one that just turns into a crutch for most people.

It has unfortunately become the American way...get what you want with little to no work for it. Need to lose weight? Try this super duper ab ripper and have a 6 pack in 6 weeks!! Sprinkle some of this nonsense fairy dust on your food and lose fat while eating what you want! Take this pill and gain 20 lbs of muscle in a month!! In between every fast food commercial on TV is a commercial for a drug or pill for our lazy ass society.

I think its funny that when approached by our home grown Americans in the gym they ask what I "took" to develop my body, when several people from outside of the US have asked me "what did you eat to look like this"

nailed it bro

Why exercise when you can just get liposuction or implants? Why cure something for $10 when you can keep a problem at bay and make millions?

Buncha old farts. Its been trending this way for a long time, this is nothing new. The internet has simply made it easier to get them all in one place trolling the same forum.
