HOLMANFIT’s Daily Health Tip What Testosterone Supplementation Will — and Will NOT — Do
MY MISSION is your success.
I want to teach you how to live by my Golden Rule for Fitness & Health — so you live a longer, stronger, healthier life.
The Hype vs. The Reality
If you’re 55, 5’9″, 245 lbs, sedentary, and eating the Standard American Diet (SAD), TRT might sound like the shortcut to renewed energy.
But here’s the science-based truth:
Testosterone therapy alone won’t revitalize you — unless you also improve your lifestyle.
What Testosterone Supplementation May Help With (Short Term):
• Slight increase in libido
• Modest mood or motivation lift
• Mild energy boost
• Increased red blood cell production (better oxygen delivery)
These benefits are often limited or short-lived in men with poor diet, inactivity, and excess body fat.
What Testosterone Alone Will NOT Fix:
• ❌ Fat loss — without diet changes
• ❌ Muscle gain — without strength training + protein
• ❌ Inflammation — remains high with belly fat & junk food
• ❌ Insulin resistance — still a problem without exercise
• ❌ Long-term vitality — not restored by a prescription alone
Why TRT + Lifestyle Works Better Than TRT Alone:
TRT Alone
• Modest libido boost
• Slight mood lift
• Little or no fat loss
• Inflammation remains high
• Blood may thicken (higher hematocrit)
TRT + Golden Rule Lifestyle
• Strong, sustained sex drive
• Sharper thinking, better confidence
• Fat loss + muscle gain
• Lower inflammation, improved metabolic health
• Balanced labs with hydration and movement
Want to Do TRT the Right Way?
If you’re considering testosterone therapy:
• ✅ Get tested: total T, free T, SHBG, hematocrit, PSA
• ✅ Track how you feel — not just your labs
• ✅ Move every day — even walking counts
• ✅ Improve your diet — cut sugar and ultra-processed foods
• ✅ Sleep 7–8 hours — T levels depend on it
• ✅ Retest every 3–6 months to adjust safely
HOLMANFIT Bottom Line:
Testosterone is a tool, not a miracle.
Without movement, nutrition, and sleep — it won’t take you far.
But with the right lifestyle, TRT can help you feel stronger, sharper, and more alive. ✅ Eat healthy food in the right amounts
✅ Exercise regularly — both cardio and strength
✅ Don’t smoke
✅ Get good sleep
