Pseudo science is a stretch. First of all our food lacks a lot of vitamins and minerals it had 50 years ago. You can't tell me a lack of nutrition does t affect your hormones.

Now lets pretend TRT takes a decade off your life.

Would you rather go the next 30 years battling depression, fatigue and anxiety or would you rather live an extra 10 years having those symptoms?

We are assuming those 'extra' 10 extra years of life are an extra healthy 10 years and not 10 years where you are battling chronic diseases caused by your inability to stay active which was caused by your depression, anxiety and aging.

As we age it becomes progressively difficult to maintain staying active, gaining and maintaining muscle. Diabetes, high blood pressure depression.

Maybe doing TRT and having your bloodwork done routinely like you are supposed to do will minimize the damage from this medicine. Or we could get on antidepressants which have side effects like decreased libido, lower seizure threshold, weight gain etc. I guess in that aspect your quality of life could improve as well because as you're sitting there doing nothing still, you will be happier. I only mention antidepressants because that was mentioned in the article.
