Testosterone changes on GLP-1 — my results so far

It is worth asking what the claim would look like if it were false.

Correct, and worth adding that it is reversible. Nothing being described here is a one-way door, which changes how cautious it is reasonable to be.

This is exactly what I could not find anywhere else. Sending this to two other people who asked me the same thing last week.

I read this differently from JenPlateau, on substance rather than tone. I think the framing smuggles in the conclusion. Ask it the other way round and the obvious answer reverses, which usually means the question is doing the work.

Adding the numbers, since they settle part of this. Give anything pharmacological four weeks before you judge it, and give anything measured weekly a four-point rolling average before you call it a trend.

I would rather be corrected than agreed with, if it comes to it.

Moderator note: the sourcing question belongs in the vendor section and has been split out. No action needed from anybody.
