Testosterone is vital to peak performance at any and every stage of a man’s life. In fact, did you know that we all start out as females? Testosterone production actually begins in the womb, and it is what stimulates a developing fetus with XY chromosomes to develop into a male.
Testosterone production continues in male children, but increases significantly at the time of puberty. The significant testosterone release that occurs in male teens, is largely responsible for the sex organs maturing, the development of a sex drive, and the other characteristics we consider typically “male,” such as the development of facial and body hair, bigger muscles and a deeper voice.
In males, testosterone production begins even before birth, and continues through the teen years, until it reaches its peak production at about the age of 19. Most men will maintain this peak level of testosterone through their 20s. But, once you are over 30, and definitely by the age of 35, your testosterone level will begin to steadily decline.
Without doing anything to intervene, by the time you reach 60, your testosterone level will likely be as much as half of what it was at your peak. However, most men start to feel the impact of declining testosterone long before they reach that age.
“While testosterone is critical throughout a man’s life, it is an unfortunate fact that your ability to produce testosterone decreases the older you get.”

“Most practitioners believe that testosterone injections are the safest and most effective form of testosterone replacement therapy.”
Another benefit that men who have had testosterone therapy really appreciate is the positive impact it has on their ability to concentrate, focus, and compete. This is generally described as a feeling of “getting your edge back.” This is especially important in the workplace, as men over 40 increasingly find themselves having to compete and keep up with younger workers who may be vying for their positions.
