Testosterone in Midlife Women

Yes, you have testosterone. Yes, it matters.

The quick explanation

Testosterone supports libido, motivation, muscle mass, and energy in women too. It declines gradually with age and can be low in midlife — but it's rarely tested or discussed.

Why this matters

Low testosterone may explain stalled libido, motivation, or strength gains, even when other hormones look fine.
