LAS VEGAS (KSNV) — A new TikTok trend known as "Testosterone Maxxing" is raising alarms among health experts.
The trend, which encourages adolescent boys to take testosterone to enhance their appearance, poses significant health risks, particularly for those who actually need testosterone replacement therapy.
Metabolic health expert Shalin Shah explained the dangers associated with this trend. "Testosterone is a powerful hormone that should only be used under medical supervision," Shah said. He emphasized that inappropriate use can lead to serious health issues, including hormonal imbalances and other side effects.
Shah highlighted the symptoms of testosterone deficiency, often referred to as "Low T," which include decreased sex drive, less energy, weight gain, feelings of depression and anxiety, moodiness, thinner bones, and difficulty sleeping. He noted that individuals diagnosed with low or no testosterone are the right candidates for testosterone treatment.
For those experiencing symptoms of Low T, Shah advised seeking medical advice. "Talk to your doctor about safe treatment options," he said, stressing the importance of accessing proper testing and treatment under professional guidance.
