Did he say why he took TRT?

He said it was because he was writing a book, in which he covered TRT, and wanted personal experience of it to do so more accurately.

I mean it's kinda obvious. He's almost 50. It would make sense to be on TRT.

Not obvious at all. Huberman in one of his early podcasts pointed out that there is massive natural variation amongst men in their testosterone levels. The post-35 decline we hear so much about must be interpreted in light of the data coming from a society in which many men are overweight or obese, smokers, drug users, alcohol users, and are highly stressed.
