In this video, I’m diving into a question I’m asked all the time — should women use male testosterone products?
The answer might surprise you. Testosterone therapy can be a safe and effective treatment for Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder (HSDD) and other symptoms of low testosterone in women — but the key lies in dose, delivery method, and medical supervision.
I’ll walk you through:
• The science behind testosterone in women and why it matters for sexual health, energy, and well-being
• The difference between FDA-approved male testosterone products and compounded testosterone gels or creams commonly prescribed for women
• How dosage adjustments are made for female physiology
• A real-life demonstration on how to correctly use topical testosterone products
• Important considerations for safety, absorption, and hormone balance It’s not about “male vs. female” testosterone — it’s about finding the right form and dose to restore optimal function and vitality.
Medical Insight: Testosterone is a crucial hormone in women too — affecting libido, bone density, muscle mass, and overall mood. Low levels can contribute to fatigue, loss of desire, and decreased quality of life. As always, hormone therapy should be personalized and physician-guided.

Activating Happiness Through Menopause & Beyond: Retreat Details with Dr. Susan
If you’ve been thinking about joining us this November in Costa Rica, I made this short video to walk you through what the retreat actually looks and feels like — from where we’re staying to what each day includes. This experience was created with you in mind — women navigating the beautiful, complex chapter of midlife. Women who are ready to carve out space for joy, rest, and deeper connection — not just with others, but with themselves. You don’t need to come with a friend.
You don’t need to know anyone ahead of time. You just have to be open to saying yes — and we’ll take care of the rest. This isn’t just a vacation. It’s a reset. A chance to slow down, breathe deeply, and remember what happiness feels like — in a place that’s safe, beautiful, and full of possibility.
🌿 Retreat Details
