  Something unusual happened in men's health this year. The evidence on testosterone got better and more complicated at the same time — and the combination undercuts both camps in the argument. If you've been following the "low T" conversation, here's where it actually stands. First, the reassurance The TRAVERSE trial randomized more than 5,200 men aged 45–80 with documented hypogonadism and elevated cardiovascular risk to testosterone gel or placebo, followed for a median of roughly 22 months. The primary outcome — cardiovascular death, heart attack or stroke — came in at 7.0% in the testosterone group, meeting non-inferiority. That settled a question that had hung over the field for a decade. In 2025, the FDA removed the boxed cardiovascular warning from testosterone labels, while adding a blood-pressure warning. For men with genuine, properly diagnosed hypogonadism, that's meaningful. Treatment that works, with the main cardiovascular fear addresse...

   When a man's marriage ends, the advice arrives fast and it's always the same two items. Get a good attorney. Talk to someone. Both are sound. Neither addresses what the research says is actually happening to him. Nobody says get your bloodwork done . Nobody says fix your wake time before you do anything else . Nobody says count your drinks honestly for two weeks . And those three have mortality data behind them. The case for a third phone call Two independent research teams, using different methods on different datasets, reached the same conclusion.

Shor and colleagues (2012), analyzing 104 studies , arrived at HR 1.30 independently. A systematic review of 7,881,040 individuals found divorced and separated men carried higher all-cause mortality, plus stronger cancer and cardiovascular...

Then it ends — and a surprising number of men report feeling worse eighteen months later than they did in the middle of it. That's not a psychological failure. It's a lagging indicator. Divorce is more than a legal process for men , and the physiological bill arrives on a delay that almost nobody warns them about. Two research teams, one number Sbarra and colleagues (2011) pooled 32 studies covering more than six million people and found a hazard ratio of 1.30 for mortality among divorced adults, with stronger effect sizes in men. Shor and colleagues (2012), analyzing 104 studies , arrived at HR 1.30 independently — different method, different dataset, same answer. A systematic review of 7,881,040 individuals found divorced and separated men carried higher all-cause mortali...
