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

And it is a postcode lottery, unfortunately. podcast-host

You know, some people are fortunate in their area, some people aren't. podcast-host

And I have had messages from a lot of women talking about this issue. podcast-host

For some, it's a real struggle. podcast-host

I've even heard of stories of women. podcast-host

By filling in a form just using a man's name? podcast-host

Because obviously men can get hold of it very cheaply and easily with no issue, reporting, you know, issues like low mood and weight gain around the middle, which tends to be part of andropause. podcast-host

When men in midlife go through low testosterone levels when theirs begins to get depleted, those are two of the symptoms that that they get. podcast-host

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
