"He gets it. Feels much better. He's got a little bit more energy. Yeah. So he feels much better because now he's taking a synthetic hormone. But the problem is he's still neglecting his sleep, which is so detrimental to his health."

In a discussion of who TRT may not be for, the Mind Pump hosts argue that low testosterone symptoms can overlap with effects of poor sleep, stress, overtraining and poor diet. They say someone may feel better after starting testosterone—such as having more energy—while still neglecting sleep, potentially masking signals that lifestyle changes are needed.
