This episode addresses common misconceptions about testosterone, particularly regarding its role in women's health. She explains that testosterone is present in all bodies, not just male, and that administering testosterone to women is not illegal in the U.S., despite the lack of FDA-approved female-specific doses. Dr. Casperson clarifies that physiological female doses will not masculinize women and highlights that testosterone's benefits extend beyond libido, influencing mood, cognition, and energy. Finally, she debunks the idea that testosterone therapy negatively impacts fertility or is only for postmenopausal women, noting its linear decline with age starting in the twenties.
