Testosterone<\/a> can do some amazing things; it helps build muscle, bone strength, affects the production of red blood cells, and regulates sex drive. <\/p>\n

It can also do a major number on our minds. There\u2019s this myth that testosterone is like kale or IQ and that more is better. In reality, this hormone is more like engine oil: Having a tank that\u2019s three-quarters full doesn\u2019t make your car perform better than if it\u2019s two-thirds full. But you definitely don\u2019t want to be low.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s currently a rash of businesses that want to test your T<\/a>. Some companies also want to sell testosterone to you. Some want to help you boost your levels naturally. Some want to sell you supplements that supposedly boost your levels\u2014even if your numbers are already in the normal range. There are\u2014and always have been\u2014testosterone purveyors who will get it to guys who haven\u2019t even had their T tested to check their levels. <\/p>\n

And there\u2019s this big, persistent idea that somehow, even if your levels are completely within the normal range and you\u2019re not in danger of being low, that a little more T than you have right now will somehow get you the energy, libido, body fat percentage, muscles, recovery time, and life that you really want. (Docs say that it won\u2019t.)<\/p>\n

But if you actually are<\/em> low on testosterone\u2014which many men are\u2014hormone therapy can get you back to a healthy level, and can also help take down your risks of low bone density and insulin resistance. And it might restore your libido and energy, too. <\/p>\n
