The Testosterone Paradox

Why everything you think you know about the "Male Hormone" is wrong.

Myth #1

High T Makes You Aggressive

The Reality:Low levels make you moody

The 'roid rage' stereotype is a result of synthetic abuse. Natural testosterone is a 'drive' hormone, not a rage hormone. In fact, low levels are linked to depression, anxiety, and irritability.

"Think of testosterone less as a 'rage' hormone and more as a 'drive' hormone."
