The Testosterone Myth Women Have Been Lied To About │ Dr. Susan Hardwick-Smith

The Testosterone Myth Women Have Been Lied To About │ Dr. Susan Hardwick-Smith

Dr. Susan Hardwick-Smith and I get into what that costs you in muscle and bone, why there are thirty-one approved testosterone products for men and none for women, and what the number on your own lab report is measuring.
