Jelly Roll’s labs reveal why your family might need more than a standard checkup

Jelly Roll’s blood work showed alarming problems: very high insulin, low testosterone, high cholesterol, and an A1C in diabetes territory—issues not caught by standard annual panels. The piece argues for asking primary care doctors to order expanded tests (A1C, fasting insulin, testosterone, lipid panel, thyroid TSH) and to review results in detail, as well as considering direct-to-consumer panels, since insurance coverage is variable. The message: document personal health history to qualify for expanded testing and retest if results are borderline, because these tests can reveal hidden metabolic risks early.

The High-T Surge: Men chasing testosterone as a lifestyle hack

A WIRED feature examines a growing “High T” trend where men pursue elevated testosterone through natural diets, supplements, and testosterone replacement therapy (TRT), driven by manosphere culture and optimization ethics. Some individuals reach or exceed the upper natural range and report life changes, while medical experts warn of fertility suppression, side effects, and the risk of normalizing unhealthy levels; the piece also situates the phenomenon in broader political and cultural debates about male vitality and identity.

Longevity Researcher Details His Journey Into Testosterone Therapy

Longevity researcher Matt Kaeberlein explains his journey from suspected low testosterone in his 50s to starting weekly testosterone injections after advanced testing revealed primary hypogonadism, debunking myths about natural remedies, noting TRT stigma, and stressing that therapy works best when paired with diet and exercise, while acknowledging potential fertility effects and that stopping TRT may not fully restore fertility.

IL-10 Monocytes Explain Why Men Turn Off Pain Faster

IL-10 Monocytes Explain Why Men Turn Off Pain Faster

A Michigan State University study shows IL-10–producing monocytes actively resolve inflammatory pain; higher testosterone in males boosts these cells, leading to faster pain relief, while females’ monocytes are less active and pain persists longer. This immune-driven mechanism suggests non-opioid treatments that enhance IL-10 signaling could prevent chronic pain.

Immune signals and testosterone may explain why women's pain lasts longer

A new Science Immunology study of 245 people with traumatic injuries, plus mouse experiments, suggests women’s pain lasts longer because their immune system is less effective at shutting off pain; men have higher interleukin-10, and testosterone boosts interleukin-10 production, helping pain fade faster. The findings, which align with observed sex differences in chronic pain, could guide future treatments (including hormone-based options) while acknowledging that pain biology is not explained by a single pathway.

Huberman’s TRT Reveal Triggers Fan Backlash Over Credibility

Neuroscientist Andrew Huberman disclosed he has been on low-dose testosterone replacement therapy (about 125 mg per week) since age 45, a revelation that clashes with his science-backed, supplement-promotion persona and has sparked fan backlash accusing him of misleading followers. Some fans aren’t surprised given past hints, while others see it as hypocrisy amid his broader health lab-style branding and recent CBS News contributor role.

Midlife Hormone Shifts Prompt Recognition of Irritable Male Syndrome

Midlife Hormone Shifts Prompt Recognition of Irritable Male Syndrome

Doctors are increasingly acknowledging irritable male syndrome as a real effect of midlife testosterone decline in men, with symptoms like mood changes, low motivation, fatigue, sleep disturbances, reduced libido, and physical changes. While not yet a formal diagnosis, experts compare it to menopause-like hormonal shifts in women and stress the need for more research and careful treatment decisions, including the careful use of testosterone therapy after medical screening.

No universal testosterone: culture and ecology reshape our hormonal norms

No universal testosterone: culture and ecology reshape our hormonal norms

A study of 104 Shuar men in Amazonian Ecuador finds that Western notions of a single “normal” testosterone pattern don’t apply globally. Morning testosterone levels were lower than in the US and declined across the day, with age and body fat producing different lifespan patterns: lean men show an inverted U with a midlife peak, while higher-fat men peak earlier and then decline. Social factors also matter, as men with partners had lower morning levels. The results challenge universal clinical benchmarks and highlight energy, environment, and lifestyle as drivers of hormonal regulation, though the cross-sectional design limits causal conclusions.

Testosterone hype online targets healthy young men for profit, study shows

A study of 46 popular posts across TikTok and Instagram with millions of followers finds ‘manosphere’-aligned influencers promoting routine testosterone testing and treatments to healthy young men, framing normal variations in energy or mood as evidence of deficiency. The research links this marketing to broader cultural narratives about masculinity and notes many posts conceal financial ties to products. Experts say routine screening for low testosterone in asymptomatic young men is not supported by guidelines, and a single test cannot diagnose a condition given hormonal fluctuations and the need for medical context.

UFC’s Mohammed Usman hit with 30-month ban for testosterone use and deception

Mohammed Usman accepted a 30-month suspension after testing positive for testosterone before UFC Rio 2025 against Valter Walker and for earlier use, plus a banned peptide. He admitted testosterone use and attempted to deceive CSAD with a false explanation; aggravating factors led to an extra six months added to the standard two-year ban, with the sentence ending April 9, 2028.

Diet Guidelines Spotlight Testosterone Health for Men

New dietary guidelines include a section on testosterone health in men, noting that diet may modestly influence testosterone but the evidence is weak; recommendations emphasize healthy fats (avoiding very low-fat diets), potential DHA supplementation, zinc, and vitamin D, while cautioning against excessive protein. Weight loss in overweight men is linked to higher testosterone, though no single food will dramatically boost levels. Experts urge cautious interpretation and more research.

The Rise, Fall, and Revival of Testosterone in Medicine

The article discusses the historical decline and recent resurgence of testosterone therapy in medicine, highlighting how misconceptions, particularly linking testosterone to prostate cancer, led to its decline. Abraham Morgentaler played a key role in challenging these beliefs through clinical evidence, showing that testosterone therapy is safe for men with hypogonadism and emphasizing the importance of considering individual patient experiences. The piece also explores the cultural and medical biases that have hindered the acceptance of testosterone treatment.
