Testosterone plays a key role for both men and women. It impacts muscle and bone mass, red blood cell production and sexual characteristics. It also influences sexual drive, mood, and even body fat distribution.
I recently learned a shocking statistic:
The average 26 year-old man has the testosterone of a 65 year-old man from previous generations.
Yes, testosterone declines as we get older due to stress, lack of exercise and exposure to toxins, but that stat is scary.
For women worried about osteoporosis, taking testosterone is a proactive way to help prevent it. But if you are a woman and you want to take a testosterone supplement, I recommend you get your labs done first. Then if you do want to take a testosterone supplement, start slow. Maybe a half dose every other day.
Remember, this is a hormone that we want to keep balanced. You don’t want it too low but you don’t want it too high either.
