No person has become younger from trt though perhaps a little bit younger looking, so as with nutrients trt only slows aging.
It is in fact not androgens but estrogens that activate telomerase, and do many other things like protect against various forms of heart disease, and thus slow aging.

you can't get younger..that would require time travel

you can get healthier though :x

Semantics. Of course you can get younger, you can lose the signs of aging and have your cells be like they are in a 20 year old person. 24 is the youngest you can get.

funny though
why do you say 24?


trt has, increasing testostrone from low to higher, has shown to increase teleomerase activty(adding TTAGGG sequences to the end of existing chromosomes, right?),

why do you say estrogen? does s##t? it is required, you need estrogen..bones, skin. etc but why do you deny TRTs use?
estrogen cases prostate cancer and even the FDA says it is carcinogenic when too high

Increasing telomerase or telomere length does not mean it prevents telomere cell senescence. 24 is the age cellular senescence begins, or around that age at least. You can only reverse your aging to the beginning of cellular senescence.
