51. Testosterone in Perimenopause: Not Just for Libido

51. Testosterone in Perimenopause: Not Just for Libido

Testosterone is not just about getting your mojo back in the bedroom—although, that's a pretty nice bonus! It really is SO much more than that, especially for us perimenopausal women.

It plays a huge role in your energy levels, mood, muscle strength, and even how well you recover after exercise. It's just as important as estrogen and progesterone in helping us feel our best.

In this episode, we covered:

  • How testosterone impacts energy, muscle, strength, brain function & confidence
  • What to know about testing testosterone
  • Why 'normal' testosterone levels don't tell you the full story
  • PCOS in perimenopause
  • Types of testosterone hormone replacement therapy for women
  • Side effects of testosterone hormone replacement
  • Alternatives to testosterone hormone replacement
