Testing levels does none of that.

  Just like ADHD medications were repurposed as pseudo Nootropics in healthy people, Sildenafil is no longer primarily used for heart medication, and GLP-1 drugs are not primarily sold to diabetics anymore. Hormone therapies are often popular with wealthy geriatric men naively hoping to preserve their physical prowess after their prime. A test is unnecessary, as anyone can look at just their age to know with a fair degree of certainty what is happening biologically. The gamble is the long term side effects won't bring up their expiration date sooner. "Testing" under these contexts is often just a euphemism for ethically dubious medical interventions. Could also just get outside for a brisk walk everyday, eat healthy, and enjoy a fun life. =3

    > The gamble is the long term side effects won't bring up their expiration date sooner. That is not true. People routinely do things that are likely to shorten their life because they decide the upside is worth it.

      We do have medically assisted suicide in my country, but folks don't goad veterans into the program like a cartoonish ghoul. Have a great day =3
