Post-Pandemic Low T: Why More Men Are Feeling Off—and What to Do About It

You’re not imagining it—something’s felt off since the pandemic. You’re more tired than usual, motivation is low, and your drive (in every sense) just isn’t what it used to be. If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone—and there may be a biological reason behind it.

Since 2020, many healthcare providers have noticed a rise in testosterone deficiency in men. The causes are likely multifactorial—chronic stress, sleep disruptions, weight gain, inflammation, and even the lingering effects of viral infections may be playing a role. Combine that with a modern lifestyle full of processed food, environmental toxins, and increased screen time—and it’s no surprise many men are showing signs of low T.

Symptoms of low testosterone may include:

• Decreased energy and stamina

• Mood changes, irritability, or low motivation

• Brain fog and poor concentration

• Loss of muscle mass or strength

• Reduced sex drive or performance
