Why are steroids bad to the body if they enhance physical capabilities and why can’t we nullify those side effects?

The endocrine system works in a negative feedback loop. By getting an exogenous source of testosterone, your body stops producing it internally. That’s why your balls shrink, since the Leydig cells there produce testosterone. Testosterone in excess also aromatizes and turns into estrogen which gives men bitch-tits. There are ways to avoid it like novaldex/tamoxifen citrate or whatever the new craze is (estrogen inhibitors). At the end of the cycle, a steroid user would inject HCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) to restart the HTPA axis / flip the old feedback circuit back online. Some people use clomiphene citrate to flip back on their endocrine system after a cycle. But this is bro science from 20 years ago. There’s probably new voodoo bro science. You could technically use it responsibly under the supervision of a doctor – this is called Testosterone Replacement Therapy to prevent age-related decay/wear/weakness. Obviously I don’t recommend steroid use unless it’s a medical necessity or unless you’re older and running low on natural testosterone, it drops 1% per year after 21.
