Key takeaways

  1. If you have low energy, low sex drive, poor mood, poor sleep, or trouble concentrating, low testosterone may be worth checking with a doctor through a simple blood test.

  2. Your testosterone peaks between ages 20 and 30, then declines about 1% each year, while poor sleep, chronic stress, and body fat can push levels lower. 

  3. If your testosterone is already normal, taking more is unlikely to improve your performance and can bring risks like lower sperm count, hair loss, and breast growth. 

  4. If you're struggling with erectile dysfunction, remember it's extremely common, can reflect your cardiovascular health, and there are multiple treatments available.

  5. Your erections can act like a check engine light because anything that harms blood flow, including smoking, diabetes, high cholesterol, or high blood pressure, can affect them.
