2. Testosterone ( Steroids )
Correct. You're referring to Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) with the keyword being "Replacement", meaning to restore hormones to youthful levels.

Some of those so called "anti-aging" clinics put patients on steroid cycle doses which taken long-term can cause all kinds of issues like enlarged heart, thickening of the blood, etc. The side effects are a result of the body being poisoned by the hormones.

The body works best when things are in a state of balance rather than the typical "more is better" thought process of most body builders.
