Testosterone is not just a male hormone. It is also a female hormone.
For some reason, testosterone (T) replacement therapy in women has also been vilified. By some experts.
Now that estrogen is entering center stage, she should walk arm-in-arm with T.
Why are hormones such a hot spot of controversy?
Why is functional medicine, nutrition, and hormones such a hot bed of polemic disagreements?
It’s crazy.
Much of it comes down to our medical pathways being forged by powers that want specific diagnoses and then specific drugs prescribed… to make profits. More than perhaps make physiologic sense.
Not that we don’t have some great drugs. But why this dark cloud over hormones, and now especially testosterone?
Believe it or not: Testosterone It is the Most Abundant Gonadal Hormone Throughout a Woman’s Life (Second is progesterone. Estrogen is critical but boy, we don’t want to forget these other hormones).
