This phenomenon is a stark illustration of how social media platforms can be hijacked by commercial interests to peddle unsubstantiated health claims

, highlighting the need for greater regulation in the health and wellness industry

. Moreover, the marginalization of non-traditional expressions of gender is a concerning aspect of this trend

. As one researcher noted, "You can't diagnose a medical condition based on one data point; it requires context"

. The fact that routine screening for low testosterone in asymptomatic young men is medically unwarranted according to Australian guidelines only underscores the need for critical evaluation of online health advice

.
Ultimately, this trend serves as a wake-up call for young men to be more discerning when seeking health information from social media influencers

. As Emma Grundtvig Gram so astutely put it, "This is not just about health; it's embedded in wider cultural and ideological narratives about gender and power"
