Women have been underrepresented in testosterone research and routinely excluded from hormone discussions.
about
The Testosterone Project
The Testosterone Project is a nonprofit education and advocacy initiative focused on improving public understanding of testosterone and advancing science-aligned hormone policy.
WHY WE EXIST
Why this work is necessary
Testosterone plays a role in health across the lifespan, yet public understanding of it has been shaped by stigma, misinformation, and outdated regulatory frameworks. These narratives affect research priorities, clinical conversations, and access to care.
These gaps are not accidental. They are the result of policy decisions, research limitations, and cultural discomfort that have not kept pace with modern science. The Testosterone Project exists to address those gaps through education, advocacy, and public engagement.
WHY WE EXIST
Our work focuses on three areas
Education
We provide clear, evidence-based information about testosterone and hormone health. Our materials are designed for the public, clinicians, policymakers, and advocates seeking accurate context without hype or commercial influence.
Advocacy
We engage with regulatory processes, policy discussions, and public comment opportunities to support science-aligned hormone policy. Our advocacy focuses on access, equity, privacy, and research inclusion.
Public engagement
We create pathways for individuals to ask questions, share experiences, and participate in policy discussions in informed, constructive ways.
WHAT WE DON’T DO
Clear boundaries matter
To maintain public trust and nonprofit integrity, we are explicit about what we do not do
We do not:
Provide medical advice
Recommend or sell treatments
Promote supplements or products
Operate clinics or telehealth services
Our role is educational and civic. Health decisions belong in clinical settings between patients and qualified clinicians.
OUR APPROACH
