Wait…Women Make Testosterone Too?
Absolutely. Produced by the ovaries and adrenal glands, testosterone supports bone density, lean muscle, mood stability, and libido. After age 35, levels can drop by up to 50%, leaving many women exhausted even before the kids’ soccer practice.
Signs You Could Benefit
- Unexplained weight gain around your midsection
- Brain fog
- Low libido despite healthy relationships
- Osteopenia showing up on a recent DEXA scan
Why Injections Beat Creams & Pellets
| Delivery | Pros | Cons |
| Creams | Easy to apply | Inconsistent absorption; risk to kids/pets |
| Pellets | 3–4 mo convenience | Surgical insertion; dose locked in |
| Injections | Precise dosing, adjust anytime, covered by most HSA plans | Tiny needle every 7–10 days |
Hormone Harmony: Pairing with Estradiol & Progesterone
Most women do best with a triad approach: balanced estradiol for hot-flash relief, bioidentical progesterone for sleep, and low-dose testosterone for energy.
What to Expect at Routine Health
- Comprehensive Hormone Panel (yes, thyroid too).
- Body-composition scan—muscle vs. fat tracking.
- Customized micro-dose injection plan (10–25 mg weekly).
- Quarterly labs & symptom check-ins.
Myth-Busting
- “Testosterone will make me bulky.” Nope, you’d need bodybuilding doses 10× higher. Expect tone, not bulk.
- “I’ll grow facial hair.” With proper dosing, side-effects are minimal; any peach fuzz is reversible if we dial back.
- “It’s not natural.” Your body already produces testosterone, therapy simply restores levels.
