Why is Testosterone crucial for male well-being?
Gymcels are probably already aware of the key roles that Testosterone plays in the male body:
- muscle mass and bones
- facial and pubic hair
- body’s development of deeper voice
- mood and quality of life
- propensity to develop depression and other afflictions
- verbal memory and thinking ability
In short, having *normal T levels it's incredibly important, both physically and psychologically.
* (doctors have been consistently lowering the amount of T considered normal)
Why are T levels dropping and the what are the health implications for men?
Unfortunately, numerous studies have found that T levels have been on a steady drop of about 1%/year in the average 40 year old man. This is unrelated to aging as these studies compare subjects from the 80's/90's/00's with those of today. The reasons for this decline are for the most part unknown even tough processed food, obesity and plastics are all contributing factors, T levels are mostly determined by genetics and the first phases of our growth.
Dropping T levels comes with an increase in reproductive disorders like
testicular cancer, increased likelihood of
depression and other mental illnesses,
reduced memory, sleep disturbances, decreased muscle mass,
decreased bone density (...).
Sperm counts, for example, have decreased 60% in the past two generations. Men are almost three times less fertile than they used to be and at this rate of descend will become infertile in about 50 years.
What this means for the average men is that he looks and
literally is less of a man than the average joe was 50 years ago. You can find normies talking about this if you search "Why high schoolers looked so much older in the past?" on youtube, although most of them argue that it is just a psychological effect jfl.
Why no one seems to care?
The other day, I was scheduling a routine bloodwork and asked the doctor if he could check my T levels. The doctor immediately started interrogating me KGB style and ultimately denied me to even get to know what my T levels were. I went online and found out that, at least in countries that have some sort of national health care, doctors are
extremely reluctant in allowing men to test their T levels.
So, why does no one seems to care that, at this rate,
if you take a man in 2040 and take him back to 1987 his T levels would be closer to those of a woman than a man?
Control.
Let's imagine you were a king in the middle ages preparing to invade another kingdom. What would be your first priority?
Kill the half of the population that can resist being invaded (men).
In order to control a large group of people you only need to control the men, since they are the ones capable of physically challenging you.
Conclusion
Of course I can't say for sure that somehow the decline of T levels is manufactured on purpose.
What I can say is that we know that T levels are dropping and we know the implications that it has, but nothing is being made because it inadvertently helps to exert control and mitigate the half of the population that is capable of overthrowing those that hold the power.
