Declining testosterone can impact more than just your sex life
Testosterone is a really important hormone in women… but it is one that has been poorly studied and really only focused on niche areas like libido and sexuality.
👉 The lack of quality information and evidence makes it difficult to measure and understand lower levels of testosterone in women, since women already naturally have lower testosterone levels than men. Without sufficient research, there’s a gap in understanding what testosterone levels in women mean for their functioning and how they feel.
👉 Outside of taking hormone supplements, Dr. Michelle Jacobson says there are things women can do to help naturally raise testosterone levels.
"Things that you can do to help improve your testosterone are to build more muscle mass and eat more protein," she said. "It’s sort of a positive reinforcement feedback loop, and that’s just outside of taking exogenous (external) testosterone."
