The Pentagon is launching mandatory testosterone testing for most male service members, aiming to catch deficiencies before they impact performance — a bold shift from waiting for symptoms. While health influencers have stoked interest in testosterone for energy and youthfulness, experts caution that most claims beyond erectile dysfunction lack solid evidence. The policy targets men 30 and older, with younger troops able to opt-in; treatment isn’t required, and prescriptions are off-limits for those planning kids due to fertility risks. Logistical hurdles loom too, as therapy demands careful storage and supply management — especially during deployments. A separate review is underway for female service members’ hormone health.
