We tend to think of testosterone as a "male hormone," but here’s the truth: women need it too—and when it’s low, everything from energy and libido to mental clarity and confidence can take a hit. In this episode, Alex and Zara explore the overlooked role of testosterone in women’s health. You’ll learn what this hormone actually does in the female body, why levels decline, what symptoms to look for, and how to test and support it naturally.
Whether you’re navigating perimenopause, dealing with chronic stress, or just not feeling like yourself, this is a conversation that could change the way you think about hormones—and yourself.
In this episode:
The surprising roles testosterone plays in women
Signs and symptoms of low levels
Root causes—from stress to birth control to nutrient depletion
How to test your levels properly (and what “normal” really means)
Natural ways to support testosterone—and when to consider hormone therapy
The cultural stigma around women and testosterone—and why it’s time to shift it
