#327: Testosterone for Women: Enhancing Strength, Libido, and Cognitive Function With Nat Niddam
Hey there, Longevity Podcast listeners! It's just me, Nathalie Niddam, in today's episode, diving into a subject that's often overlooked but super important—testosterone in women. Yes, you heard that right! While most people think of testosterone as a "male" hormone, it plays a crucial role in women's health, especially as we navigate through menopause.
In this episode, I explore why testosterone is essential for us ladies and how it impacts everything from our sexual function and energy levels to our cognitive performance and bone health. I'll share insights into why considering testosterone therapy might be beneficial, and I'll give you tips on how to have productive conversations with your healthcare provider about hormone replenishment.
If you've been curious about how this hormone might be affecting your health or are exploring hormone replacement options, this episode is for you. Join me as we demystify the role of testosterone in women's health and empower you to take control of your well-being.
