Military Tests Testosterone for Peak Performance | US News
Description
The military’s rolling out a bold new initiative: starting now, every service member over thirty will be tested annually for testosterone. Low levels? Therapy’s on the table. Officials say it’s all about keeping troops at peak mental and physical performance, framing it as essential care for America’s warriors. But it’s not new—this ties into past debates sparked by elite units like the SEALs, especially after a 2022 recruit’s death revealed widespread use of performance-enhancing substances, including testosterone. This move signals a major shift in how the military views troop readiness, linking hormone health directly to combat effectiveness.
