It’s not just men who have testosterone. Women have testosterone too, and here’s why its really important for us:
1️⃣ Bone Density: Testosterone helps maintain strong bones, reducing the risk of osteoporosis and fractures as we age. 💪🦴
2️⃣ Vaginal Health: Low testosterone can contribute to vaginal dryness and discomfort. It’s key for maintaining healthy tissue and lubrication. 🌸
3️⃣ Weight Management & Muscle Mass: Testosterone boosts metabolism and helps build lean muscle, making it easier to stay fit and maintain a healthy weight. 🏋️♀️⚖️
4️⃣ Acne & Hair: Fluctuating testosterone can lead to skin breakouts, thinning head hair or unwanted facial hair. Balanced levels = clearer skin and more manageable hair. 🌟
5️⃣ Libido: Healthy testosterone levels are essential for maintaining a healthy sex drive and sexual satisfaction. 🔥💕
This 49 year old female was wondering if she was in perimenopause or not (she definitely is according to her estrogen & progesterone levels). She got the answers she was looking for. She is a great candidate for bio-identical hormones if that’s what she wants.
But she was surprised to see her testosterone levels were so low – she had never really considered them before. These require treatment too especially if she wants to reach her weight loss goals.
If we hadn’t tested, we never would’ve known this hormone was contributing to her not feeling like herself. Testing removes the guesswork and frustration out of your health challenges.
If you think you need a hormone test, book an appointment if you live in Ontario.
PS men often benefit from hormone testing too 🙂
