I can add to your anecdote. I began TRT about 4 years ago as my T levels were were lower than what my doctor thought was acceptable. Fast forward to today, and while I feel and look healthier, I also look 10+ years older. I feel like I aged more in 4 years than I had in the previous 20.
I’ve wondered about that, because I have a friend who underwent TRT also, and he had the same experience. I’m pretty sure I’d be a candidate too (maybe) given what I’m assuming are my lower T levels, though actually I’m pretty happy and healthy as is. I think he had some health issues that were resolved after his treatment also, he seems healthier but suddenly looks older, which is kind of startling.
