US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth has announced that military personnel aged 30 and older will undergo testing for testosterone deficiency as part of annual health screenings. In a video posted on X, captioned “High-T Department”, Hegseth said he was authorising the screening programme for troops to ensure “you have the right testosterone levels to operate at your absolute best”. Taking testosterone for non-medical reasons, like artificial muscle enhancement without a doctor’s prescription, is strictly prohibited in the US military.
