Do Women Really Need Testosterone? The #1 Urologist Explains
Most women in menopause are never told the full story about testosterone. We’re told it’s a male hormone or that it’s just about sex, if it’s mentioned at all. But the truth is, testosterone plays a major role in women’s health during perimenopause and menopause. And for many women, it’s the missing piece of hormone therapy.
In this episode, Tamsen sits down with Dr. Kelly Casperson, a leading urologist and one of the top experts prescribing testosterone to women every day, to cut through the confusion. If you’ve been told no, if you’re not feeling like yourself, or if you’re just trying to figure out what is going on with your hormones, this conversation is for you.
In this episode they uncover:
- Why testosterone matters for women in menopause and why it’s not just about libido
- The most common myths about hormones and what doctors are still getting wrong
- How to know if you’re a candidate for testosterone and what testing actually works
- What to say if your doctor shuts you down
- How testosterone affects energy, mood, sex, and identity in midlife
- What women in other countries already have access to and what’s coming next.
