Age Better with Liz Earle · Testosterone explained: what it does for women in midlife · 21 Sep 2026 podcast

So, you know, the the women are kind of, you know, copying the the the men's symptoms there and getting podcast-host

hold of it, you know, with no issue and podcast-host

That's just tragic really because this is a hormone that we women make in our own ovaries. podcast-host

It is a female hormone. podcast-host

Just the fact that it's called testosterone, it's been named after testicles, that the guys grabbed it. podcast-host

You know, if it had been called ovarione uh or adrenalone, because that's where we make it, in our adrenal glands and in our ovaries, maybe it wouldn't be such a battle. podcast-host

Anyway, many women are prescribed testum gel or testosterone. podcast-host

gel, maybe through their own NHS GP or maybe through a specialist. podcast-host

And that is the version that's given out to men. podcast-host

So if you do get that, you'll be told that the dose is around a tenth of the standard male dose. podcast-host

Obviously we do not need as much. podcast-host

So if you had a daily sachet, for example, that was designed for a man, then for a woman you're using a little pea sized amount. podcast-host

maybe every day or every other day and that might last you, you know, eight to ten days, for example. podcast-host

But like all hormones, it's very individual. podcast-host

So anyway, I hope that's helpful. podcast-host

There is more information on that Balance Hormones app if you want to get it. podcast-host

And it's a free app that you can download. podcast-host

So I hope that helps everybody listening. podcast-host

Well, moving on to a question from an anonymous listener who says, Hi Liz, I'm a 42-year-old woman and having perimenopausal symptoms. podcast-host

My brilliant women's health specialist GP was completely open to me starting HRT when I explained my symptoms, which include exhaustion, achy joints, itchy ears, longer and changeable periods, word-finding difficulties, and a general lethargy. podcast-host
