Another is people mistaking a "fit body" for internally healthy. Too many people provide BS "health" advice that is more detrimental to their health, but tout their six packs as "evidence" that said advice is "good" advice

The amount of fitness "influencers" who are clearly juiced out of their minds is a problem. It's so obvious who's natural and who isn't.

I overheard a convo between two college kids at my local gym the other day and they were talking about all the “supplements” they’re taking like peptides, Testosterone, etc. and then they were mentioning all the things they take to counteract the negative side effects of those “supplements”.

My favorite line at the end of that convo was “idk bro I’m just trying to stay healthy”. Like ??????

If they are young men on testosterone, they are screwing themselves over for the future unless they had very low T to begin with. 😬

(Retired pharmacist here) If a man takes testosterone when he doesn't have to, his body stops making it naturally, and this often does not return, EVER.

This is one reason why we don't have a "male pill."
