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.
