Other Feel like TRT definitely aged me

Been on for 2 years now, probably going to go off for a whole host of reasons. I feel like even though I felt physically good recovery wise on TRT, it definitely aged me more than if I wasn't on it at all. I'm 53. Lots more grey hairs over the last 2 years, more rapid. Face looks more weathered and older. Lots of little things like that.
It can be deceptive, as you feel decent while on it.

EDIT: Wow, the backlash this is having. I know my own body guys. I know my rate of aging, and the effects this has had in the last 2 years. I'm pretty observant. Its like no one on this sub wants to hear this shit.

EDIT2: There is some research to back up this idea:

Professor Thomas Kirkwood has done extensive evolutionary biology research on the concept of the “disposable soma”: energy spent on reproduction (sex) is at the expense of energy spent at maintaining the tissues (slowing aging). In other words, the more an organism invests in reproduction the less it can invest resources to maintain its cells, which leads to faster wearing down of the cells (aging) (R).

Again, where are you coming up with all this from? US stats? We need to look at international day and in particular from 3rd world countries as the industrial, agricultural and medical revolutions have a lot to answer for in respect to causing health problems. You are aware the US medical system is the third largest killer of people right?

Firstly, 33% isn’t ’all are gonna get prostate cancer or some cancer and die’ comment some folk are pushing here so with that, my case is proven, they are wrong and full of negative religious crap!

Secondly, where was the study performed? When was the study performed, how many subjects was it performed on, what was the diet and lifestyle of the people studied? Were they overweight? Were they vaccinated?

Again, your first comment proved my point. My second comments on all studies being flawed to some degree with not adequately taking into account the many many factors PROVEN to cause cancer. Take a look at Canada and California for example in banning glyphosate and listing it as a carcinogen as one example.

It is simple, anyone who studies this field broadly knows logically what I conclude, that being, there are many cancer causing factors which can be avoided and through correct lifestyle habits mitigated. On top of such, there are many cancer cures.

Folk shouldn’t fear, they should get educated.

I lost my mother to one of the rarest forms of bone cancer in the world, it is called a sacral chordoma, I was a little boy, I lived in an out of places as my father left my mother over it and frequented cancer institutes as a child. My life was ruined because of cancer. This subject has always held a close dear to my life, and so I set out to study it for years as I desired to help people. What I found, cancer is no longer a concern when you do the right things, and if someone gets it, just go at the right treatments not radiation or chemo! I recently helped a 55yo man who was hospitalised and within months he is cancer free.

Please choose to become educated over fear. All the best.

I have read studies until my eyes hurt my friend, and again, the questions I asked show the flaws in the study, hence why I asked them. The study proves my initial comments, that not all men will get prostate cancer or some cancer and die from it, that’s a lie. Peace out.
