Testosterone provides the hormonal foundation for masculinity, determining what it means to be male. So what does a global decline in testosterone levels say about the current generation of men? Why is the greatest testosterone decline seen in American men under the age of thirty?
A broken, reactive medical system isn't concerning itself with answering these questions. The medical profession classifies testosterone loss as "testicular dysgenesis syndrome." Calling a condition a syndrome, however, is just a fancy medical term for "we don't know why this is happening." When a condition is classified as a syndrome, the symptoms receive treatment, not the cause.
Nathan Goodyear, MD rejects reactive approaches to testosterone loss, as well as the pharmacological marketing that sees low testosterone as the latest cash cow. Instead, he offers a solution.
Dr. Goodyear argues that low testosterone results from eight specific causes, backing up his claim with hard scientific facts and outlining treatment options for each cause. With proper treatment, low testosterone levels can be reversed.
