Did you know that testosterone plays an important role in women's health, too? While testosterone is commonly associated with men, women naturally produce this hormone as well. So what happens when those levels decline, and when should women consider discussing hormone replacement therapy with their healthcare provider?
In Part 3 of our testosterone series, Dr. Michelle Plaster and Nurse Practitioner Amber Foster discuss the often-overlooked role of testosterone in women and how changing hormone levels may affect energy, mental clarity, muscle strength, libido, and overall well-being.
In this episode, we discuss:
- Why testosterone matters for women's health
- Common symptoms associated with declining testosterone levels
- How hormones change during perimenopause and menopause
- The relationship between birth control and testosterone availability
- Hormone replacement options, potential side effects, and the importance of monitoring treatment
- Why hormone health involves more than just estrogen and progesterone
Whether you're experiencing unexplained fatigue, brain fog, changes in libido, or simply want to better understand your hormones, this conversation will help you ask informed questions about your health.
Join us for the final installment of our three-part testosterone series as we explore an important conversation in women's health.
