Testosterone for women is among the most over- AND under-prescribed hormones out there. Women in their 40s and 50s are suffering and struggling to get treatment OR they are being given dosages high enough to cause potentially irreversible side effects. On the other hand, women in their 20s and 30s are prescribed testosterone with little to no attention paid to diet, stress and exercise first. I cover the importance of thorough testing, how to target nutrition and lifestyle for better testosterone output and the best options, dosages and cadence for women if they are going to start taking testosterone. Share this one with a woman who needs it!
