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a role in health across the lifespan, yet public understanding of it has been shaped by stigma, misinformation, and outdated regulatory frameworks.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.

Women have been underrepresented in testosterone research and routinely excluded from hormone discussions.

Men have encountered testosterone through extremes (performance marketing, misuse fears, or moralized messaging) rather than medical context.

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
