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.

Let’s Stop the Shame: A Compassionate Look at Weight Loss Medications
There’s so much judgment swirling around weight loss medications like semaglutide and tirzepatide. I hear it all the time — “Why don’t they just eat better?” “Why not exercise more?” But here’s the truth: most people who turn to these medications have already tried — many, many times — and felt like failures when nothing worked.
These medications aren’t shortcuts. They’re tools — science-backed, life-saving tools — for people who are struggling with obesity, a condition that carries serious health risks. If we had a safe and effective way to treat any other chronic disease, wouldn’t we use it without shame? The key is using them wisely — as part of a comprehensive, medically supervised program that focuses on real, sustainable health changes.
That’s exactly what we do at Complete Midlife Wellness Center through our Holistic Medical Weight Optimization Program. So let’s stop judging others for choosing a path that works for them. Let’s offer support, compassion, and a little more understanding.
Drop your thoughts below — and if you’re curious about how our 12-week program works, all the details are right here: https://completemidlifewellnesscenter.com/holistic-medical-weight-optimization-program/ Go You!
