In this episode, I’m looking into a topic that’s close to my heart: the safety of testosterone therapy for women. I’ll share the latest research showing how testosterone improves quality of life, libido, cardiovascular health, and even bone and brain health—all without increasing risks like breast cancer or cardiovascular events. If anything, the data points to some surprising benefits that could make a huge difference, especially when therapy starts early.

I’ll also address misconceptions, like the so-called “lack of safety data” often cited by critics, and unpack why the timing of therapy plays such a crucial role in its effectiveness. If you’ve ever wondered whether testosterone therapy might be right for you, or if you’re just curious about the science, this episode has answers you won’t want to miss.

Key Takeaways from This Episode:

Testosterone therapy is not only safe for women but has proven benefits for libido, heart health, and more.
Long-term studies show no increased breast cancer risk and even suggest potential reductions.
Starting hormone replacement therapy earlier leads to better outcomes, supporting the "timing hypothesis."
Current FDA-approved options for women are limited, but working with a specialist can help you find the best personalized approach.

If you’ve been on the fence about hormone therapy or just want to learn more, this episode is packed with evidence, insights, and a little dose of my usual candor. Let’s break it all down together!
