The Surprising Truth About Testosterone Therapy | Ep 88

In this episode, I dive into the benefits of testosterone for women. I share my own experience with testosterone therapy and how it helps me with everything from libido and orgasms to brain fog and muscle mass.

It’s not just about sex drive—testosterone also helps with bone strength, hot flashes, and even Alzheimer’s prevention. I break down how it’s prescribed, why proper dosing is so important, and why you should never borrow your husband’s testosterone (trust me, I’ve got a wild story about that).

Whether you’re curious about testosterone, considering hormone therapy, or just want to feel your best during menopause, this episode is for you. Let’s get into it!
