Testosterone Therapy Promotes Healthy Body Composition

With more than 60 percent of the population overweight or obese, and millions fighting an uphill battle against added pounds due to metabolic disorders, experts are seeking innovative ways to address the ever-growing obesity epidemic. Although dietary modifications, increased physical activity, psychological therapies, and a combination of all of the above have proven to be the most effective for achieving weight loss, these strategies rarely yield successful maintenance of results for the majority of the population.
