Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced Wednesday that he is rolling out a new screening program for “testosterone deficiency” among troops, calling it necessary to allow them to operate at their “absolute best.”

The screenings will be conducted annually as part of service members’ required medical screenings for those 30 and older, he said. Troops under 30 can volunteer to be tested. In a video on social media, Hegseth said receiving testosterone replacement therapy would be voluntary.

    To any service personnel thinking about this testosterone “treatment” read up on the Essendon Football Club in Melbourne, Australia and the “Supplements Saga”. The player’s blind faith in it’s coach, the doctor, the mad scientist and a dodgy drug dealer lead to their suspension from competitive sport and to this day they still don’t know what was injected into them. 😡
    As for T-drugs Pete, someone needs to tell him he has “brewer’s droop” and not a drop in Testosterone.

    I had low T and was put on weekly injections. My urologist didnt understand why there was no response. My levels stayed the same and didnt improve energy levels.. Then my personal physician tested me for vitamin B12 and D deficiencies which were low. I started taking B12 shots and Rx vitamin D and it brought me back to normal energy levels and feeling much better

    Think about women. Protect women.
    Adding access to testosterone for our military may be inviting trouble. Having an increased sex drive may lead to sexual assault. Our females in the military, civilians in the US and abroad are at risk of sexual assault.

    Why would they have mandatory testing for Low T but then be allowed to choose whether you want to be treated for it? It makes no sense spending the money to test all troops over 30 if they’re not interested in a treatment? That’s why I know this is BS & shouldn’t be allowed. It explains so much about Kegsbreath’s immature video game speak & disconnect from reality especially concerning military looks over military performance! We already had the best strongest military in the world but he wants them to be a reflection of himself which isn’t particularly impressive?! Anyone can have their suits tailored to make them look cut but that doesn’t mean they really are. Imo his suits look ridiculous like they’ve been laundered too many times & shrunk? Lethality please? He’s a joke & intimidates nobody!
