In recent months, I've just been seeing the topic come up much more among influencers.
Ladies, low libido, brain fog, depression, anxiety, low testosterone.
My friend started talking to me about their experiences with it.
And I heard some kind of incredible stories about what happened to women when they went on unusually high doses of it.
You know, that idea that a hormone could have such a hold, not just on how you felt physically, but how you felt emotionally and in relationship to other people.
That was a really intriguing idea to me.
What
And who has it?
So both men and women have testosterone.
Men have literally 10 times the amount of this hormone that women do.
And it is something that declines gradually in men over time.
But in women, who of course have much less of it to begin with, it actually diminishes over time even more dramatically, so that by the time they are around 60, they have about half of the amount of testosterone circulating through their body that they had in their, let's say, early 20s.
And it's produced by both the ovaries and the adrenal glands in women, but it is only produced by the adrenal glands by that point in women's lives.
As women have less testosterone over time, what starts to happen?
What changes?
Well, we're not exactly sure, to be honest.
It's one of these situations in which we know what happens when you replenish their testosterone, which is that if you restore women to the levels of testosterone
that they had in their 30s when they are actually, let's say, in their 50s, there's a lot of research that suggests that it restores some of their libido and other things such as mood or energy.
So there's, I mean, there's really two very different experiences, right?
In the United States, when women take what is considered, I'm just going to use this, you know, colloquially, a standard dose of testosterone, one that's been approved by various illustrious medical societies, at least in short-term use.
