Testosterone therapy is trending. Who really needs it, and why?

In December, an expert panel from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) discussed expanding access to testosterone, a hormone that could benefit people with various conditions. Currently, testosterone is available for those with low levels due to medical issues, but the panel suggests more people, including women, might benefit. Some experts argue that lifestyle changes can naturally boost testosterone, while others believe treatment could help those with symptoms like low energy. The panel emphasized that testosterone is not just for muscle building, despite its marketing. High doses can pose risks, and the hormone is classified as a controlled substance due to past abuse. The FDA is considering policy changes to make testosterone more accessible, sparking debate on its use and benefits. QUESTION: How might increased access to testosterone impact societal views on health and wellness?
