So this is all new to me as I recently found out my t is low. Getting this diagnoses is what drew me to this forum. After being on here for a very short time I can't help but notice so many young men with low t. I know some people have their reasons for why it's low but I never would have imagined that it effected so many individuals. Any thoughts or studies on why this has become such a huge issue?? Is this environmental or just advancements in medicine/testing? Figured this would be a good discussion.

Phytoestrogens in our foods and plastics, other medicines (pain killers) that are known to shut down natural test production and many other reasons that are coming to light as the baby boomers are getting older and demanding attention for. testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) is actually still quite new as far as research goes, but I'm sure that researchers are going to find that a lot more men are having hormone issues in this day and age compared to 30 years ago.

Once big pharma catches on and is able to patent more testosterone therapies, I bet we're going to see full page ads everywhere we look about getting our testosterone levels checked out so we can take their miracle cures that bodybuilders have known about since the 60's. It would be nice to see the FDA change their stance once this comes to fruition, but I'm not going to hold my breath. ;)
 
I think along with foods its activity level. More and more jobs are sit down desk type jobs. Also instead working outside, playing, doing activities alot of people sit and watch TV.
