Testosterone as fuel, let's think about it together ...

As I understand it, the older you get, the lower your testosterone production. The question is, does physical activity increase or decrease testosterone levels for those taking ADT and lutamide?

@denis76 Exercise increases testosterone but ADT/lutamides keep it low enough to affect PCa cells.
I understand your conundrum but there’s no way sitting on your butt is going to be beneficial.
FYI, a friend with leukemia opted for no conventional treatment after speaking with various oncologists. He took Green Tea Extract in pill form and really brought all his blood cell levels to within normal range; his docs were very impressed!
But he got prostate cancer anyway and had to have surgery…I guess one size does not fit all?

@denis76 Age 70 here and as active as I can be. Take care of a multi-acre homestead w/ associated livestock. Certainly not going to run a marathon but I walk an inclined tread mill 2-3 miles a day and do resistance band training 5 days per week. My last testosterone level was 9 ng/dl on 12/3/25. Prior to ADT, T measured at 450. That said, my short answer to your question is NO, exercise does not increase T levels for those taking ADT and/or ARSI (Orgovyx/Nubeqa in my case.)
