🔬 Let's talk testosterone, ladies…

I organized my hand written notes from a podcast featuring PA McPhereson, and let me tell you - we need to chat about the "T" word!

Here's the T tea: Conventional medicine often acts like testosterone is just "for the boys" but…

NEWSFLASH - women make testosterone too! And when our levels drop, it's no picnic. 🎢

My scribbled research shows how integrative & functional medicine is finally giving women's testosterone the attention it deserves! Because guess what? When our T is low, we might experience:

• That "meh" feeling about intimacy 😴
• Stubborn weight that won't budge 😤
• Energy levels in the basement 🔋
• Mood swings that make us question everything 🎭
• Muscle strength? What muscle strength? 💪

The hormone cascade is real, hun! When our adrenals are stressed, progesterone drops, and that can lead to low T. It's all connected!

The good news? There are options! From strength training 🏋️‍♀️ to proper hormone testing to comprehensive adrenal support - we've got tools in our toolkit.

Here are my translated notes from the podcast if you're interested:

Reference Ranges & Symptoms:
• Symptoms: fatigue, hair loss, libido, depression
• Conservative approach to optimal women's T levels: between 30-50 on labs

Hormonal Cascade:
• Adrenal fatigue → Low progesterone
• Low progesterone → Low testosterone
• Low T → Reduced libido & exercise capacity

Treatment Considerations:
• Strength training important for hormone balance
• "All in" adrenal support needed
• Check if estrogen is high

Key Monitoring:
• Regular lab work needed to assess levels during T therapy
• Consider a progressive approach to dosing (dosing amounts not mentioned)

*Important note: These are just my personal research notes from the podcast - not medical advice! Always work with a qualified healthcare provider for your unique situation.
