What people said
Michael EisenbergBoard-certified urologist, Professor of Urology at Stanford University and head of Stanford's Male Reproductive Medicine and Surgery Program
Eisenberg says most men are started on testosterone as a trial and can stop if they see no benefit after six months to a year.
“So after six months, after a year, they're not seeing those improvements, then we can stop it”

Eisenberg argues that men with normal testosterone gain little from supplementation and criticizes clinics that prescribe it for profit.
“if your testosterone is normal and you're given testosterone, it's very unlikely to help any problem you have”

Eisenberg explains that exogenous testosterone reliably suppresses sperm production and has been tested as a male contraceptive.
“Testosterone has been tested by the World Health Organization as a contraceptive. So it can actually lower sperm production”

Mel RobbinsAmerican author, podcast host and former lawyer who hosts The Mel Robbins Podcast
Robbins recounts that her husband Chris has resisted testosterone, worried about long-term oil injections and unresearched long-term effects.
“That with injections, it's a lot of oil intake for the next 30 years of my life? Oil intake? And that the long-term effects of taking it for that long of a time have not been researched?”

Joe RoganAmerican comedian and host of The Joe Rogan Experience

Andrew HubermanAmerican neuroscientist, professor at Stanford School of Medicine and host of the Huberman Lab podcast
Huberman warns that any exogenous testosterone, even microdosed, will negatively affect sperm count unless offset with HCG.
“If you take exogenous testosterone, even a little bit, even if you're quote unquote microdosing it, so less than 100 milligrams per week or so, it will negatively impact your sperm count”

Jon FavreauCo-host of Pod Save America and former speechwriter for President Barack Obama
Favreau argues universal annual testosterone testing makes little sense because levels fluctuate by time of day and age.
