Most of my life I have been an attentive, giving and generous man. At 60, I’m surprised at how self-centered have become.

    What do you mean? Yeah I’m not one to suggest people need to be roiding up or anything, and usually low T levels is indicative of some other upstream issue whether deficiency, lack of fitness, socialization, exercise, etc., but it’s worth checking with doctor.

      It’s often an upstream issue, and I’m not keen on people who suggest men in middle age (40s, 50s) should automatically jump to supplementing testosterone. I had low T for a while and it turned out it was due to a vitamin B deficiency (I’m a T2 Diabetic and my medication basically leeches vitamin B from my body, as well as blocking absorption). Started supplementing vitamin B and eating more foods with vitamin B and the next two tests over several months went from low, to the lower end of “normal” range, and seemed to be steadily increasing back to normal.
