About this episode

Dr. Gabrielle Lyon and Dr. Susan Hardwick-Smith discuss the misconceptions surrounding testosterone in women and its impact on health.

Women produce more of it than estrogen, and for many of us it is the first hormone to go, sometimes reading zero five years before menopause while periods are still regular. Dr. Susan Hardwick-Smith and I get into what that costs you in muscle and bone, why there are thirty-one approved testosterone products for men and none for women, and what the number on your own lab report is measuring.
