Hive mind. I am hoping for a great conversation here. I’m 52 and having a really hard time handling the corporate life. I’ve been in marketing for almost 30 years but now find myself just slower. Not as quick as my counterparts, not competitive at all, not as focused or as organized. I’m now 6 months into a role with a very complex organization and job responsibilities that I didn’t expect. The culture is very competitive and un- friendly, so I’m kind of done. But I can’t yet retire and want to do something else. Who has left the corporate world and found new paths? What do you do? How has the journey been?

Yes, these are the side effects of HIGH testosterone, not the effects of getting testosterone levels to where they should be. There is a huge difference there. Before spreading misinformation, please read this article from the National Library of Medicine: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9331845/

Read it yourself. HRT is for women, TRT is for men. You can shoot yourself up with as much testosterone as you want.But when you get breast cancer and start deepening your voice, You have no one but yourself to blame.

Those are side effects from LOW dosage TRT. Again, TRT is for MEN. Check with your OB/GYN. I did, she said 1,000% NO to this.
