usually testosterone Peaks you know kind of early 20s and it tends to go down probably 1% a year forever
The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.

Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.

Testosterone levels naturally decline ~1% per year after age 30-40
what does change is the shbg so as we get older the shbg does go up the total testosterone should stay Rel flat if you're healthy and the free tea will start to go down right
you can expect I believe it's about 1% drop in total test per year with an approximate 2 to 3% drop in free each year
if we didn't muck around with nature, men would experience a pretty steady decline in testosterone from puberty on down.
So, like a common thing that people hear is when you hit 30 years old, your total testosterone will decline by 1% per year. But the reality of what makes this even worse is your SHBG levels will increase year-over-year proportionally faster, thus making the velocity of free testosterone decreases dramatically more so proportionally. So even though total test decreases by 1% a year, your free test will decrease by up to 2% per year.
So you mentioned the the by age 30 total testosterone decreases by about 1% per year.
