In this episode, we’re unpacking an often-overlooked topic in women’s health—testosterone. While commonly associated with men, testosterone is a vital hormone for women too, impacting energy, metabolism, muscle tone, libido, mood, and even cognitive function. Low levels can show up as stubborn fatigue, brain fog, irritability, weight gain, and decreased sex drive. We discuss how to spot the signs of low testosterone and explore how this hormone influences everything from your energy levels to your mental clarity.
We also share thoughts on the rise of testosterone replacement options like pellets and injections, including what to watch out for. You’ll learn natural, food-as-medicine strategies to support testosterone levels, plus key nutrients, lifestyle shifts, and supplement considerations. If you’ve been feeling off and suspect hormones might be to blame, this episode is a must-listen!
