Can Testosterone Therapy Make You a New Man for the New Year?
Medically reviewed by Dr. Brandon Mines, MD
For men with clinically low testosterone, testosterone therapy can meaningfully reduce — or even resolve — symptoms tied to age-related decline, like low energy, lost muscle, and reduced libido. Testosterone naturally falls about 1–2% per year after age 20, and men aged 35–65 are the most common candidates. Diagnosis always starts with a blood test.
Signs of low testosterone
- Difficulty building muscle despite training
- Increased body fat, especially around the abdomen
- Chronic fatigue and poor sleep
- Low libido and sexual dysfunction
- Anxiety, low mood, and memory problems
- Decreased bone density
How treatment works
If a blood test confirms low testosterone (hypogonadism), therapy is prescribed and medically supervised. Injections are typically the most effective delivery method, though gels, creams, and patches are alternatives. The right approach depends on your labs, symptoms, and goals — which is why a clinical evaluation comes first.
