Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) gets a bad rap thanks to outdated science, gym bros spreading half-truths, and straight-up misinformation. Let’s clear the air and separate fact from fiction.
1️⃣ TRT is Just for Bodybuilders
Nope! TRT is for men (and women!) dealing with low testosterone, not just those trying to look like action movie villains. It’s about optimizing energy, mood, metabolism, and overall health—not just biceps.

2️⃣ TRT Will Make You Angry & Aggressive (a.k.a. ‘Roid Rage’)
The only thing TRT might make you angry about is why you didn’t start sooner. Low testosterone is more often linked to irritability and mood swings. When balanced properly, TRT can actually help stabilize mood and reduce stress.
3️⃣ TRT Ruins Your Natural Testosterone Forever
This one sounds dramatic but isn’t true. Yes, TRT suppresses natural testosterone production while you’re on it, but that’s because your body doesn’t need to make as much when it's getting enough externally. With proper medical guidance, natural production can be restored if you choose to stop.
4️⃣ TRT Will Magically Fix Everything Overnight
TRT isn’t a Red Bull—it won’t give you wings instantly. It takes time for your body to adjust, and results come gradually. Think of it like a gym membership: consistency is key.
5️⃣ TRT is Only for Older Guys
Testosterone levels can start dropping as early as your 30s. Fatigue, brain fog, weight gain, and low libido aren’t just "part of getting older"—they could be signs of low T. No matter your age, if your levels are low, you deserve to feel your best.
Bottom Line: TRT isn’t about shortcuts, gym myths, or Hollywood hype—it’s about health. If you’re dealing with symptoms of low T, don’t guess—get tested! AlphaMD makes it easy with online consultations and meds delivered straight to your door. See if TRT is right for you!
