When it comes to testosterone levels, less is not more. Studies show that men with low testosterone have the highest mortality rate and a higher rate of heart failure, diabetes, risk of stroke, hypertension, and body fat mass.

Chicago-based Ageology physicians report it is widely estimated that over 5 million American men have low testosterone, also known as "Low T", though only 5 percent ever seek treatment.
Testosterone levels are a healthy high in young men, but plummet during aging. A recent article in Life Extension Magazine highlights the unfortunate reality that despite compelling findings of efficacy and safety;  mainstream doctors still question the value of testosterone replacement in maturing men.

Ageology physicians agree: this oversight is contributing to needless heart attacks and strokes and can be the key to maintaining (or reclaiming) vitality and wellness.


"It made the total difference in my world," said Savage who turns 50-years-old this year and is in the best shape of his life.
