What Does It FEEL Like To Be On Testosterone? Mental Benefits From Taking Testosterone

In this video we talk about all of the positive mental benefits you can receive by taking testosterone. Testosterone and steroids in general usually get a bad rap about increasing anger and aggression but here we set the TRUTH straight. When used correctly, testosterone can increase mental alertness libido, confidence, and enhance overall mood. Learn how you can use this powerful hormone to enhance your overall quality of life.

Testosterone is a hormone that is produced primarily in the testicles for men and the ovaries and adrenal glands for women. This hormone is essential to the development of male growth and masculine characteristics. For women, testosterone comes in much smaller amounts. Testosterone production increases about 30 times more during adolescence and early adulthood. After early adulthood, it’s natural for levels to drop slightly each year. Your body may see a one percent decline after you’re 30 years old. 

Testosterone plays a key role in your:

• muscle mass and bones
• facial and pubic hair
• body’s development of deeper voices
• sex drive
• mood and quality of life
• verbal memory and thinking ability

Research shows that men with higher ratios of total testosterone have a reduced incidence of Alzheimer’s disease. There’s also evidence for a strong correlation between testosterone and thinking abilities such as verbal memory and faster processing speed. Testosterone treatment for men 34 to 70 years old has shown an improvement in spatial memory.

Lower testosterone levels are associated with poorer quality of life. Some of the symptoms of low testosterone levels include depression, fatigue, and irritability. But some research shows that this may only be for men with hypogonadism. Men whose bodies follow the normal decrease of testosterone over time didn’t show an increase for depression.

The effects of testosterone replacement therapy on mood can vary. Men with hypogonadism reported improved mood and well-being, and reduced fatigue and irritability. Research suggests that this treatment may also be an effective anti-depressant treatment.
