In today's episode we're continuing our conversation about testosterone therapy, including its benefits and the importance of monitoring testosterone levels. Understanding the testosterone levels you should strive for and measuring your physiological responses is key to using it beneficially.
Testosterone is the main anabolic hormone in the body. It repairs, restores, and regrows damaged tissue. The problem is that the normal range established by labs—a guide most doctors will use to identify if your testosterone is low—is not always the best baseline to use.
In an ideal world, people would have their testosterone levels measured in their early twenties and every year after. When using hormone replacement therapy, an optimal level of testosterone would be the amount that allows you to see improvements in stamina, endurance, motivation, and athletic performance.
At the right amount, you would also notice a better mood, an increase in sexual desire, and a higher metabolic rate. That said, there's no perfect amount for testosterone replacement for women; only the amount that works for them as an individual. There are different options for testosterone administration, including injections and creams. Injectable testosterone is administered about once a week.
Testosterone creams are usually applied daily, and this method usually increases testosterone levels right after administration (usually in the morning) with the levels tapering down throughout the day. Creams are the easiest to administer, so they are also a popular choice among women. If you're wondering if testosterone could improve your health, reach out to a medical professional trained in this type of therapy.
