## Resource

Testosterone for women over 40 is the conversation almost no doctor will start with you, so I'm starting it. These are the ten things I wish I'd known about testosterone before I ever asked a doctor for it, from the magic number every doctor chases that doesn't exist, to the one test almost all of them run wrong, to the exact words to say at your appointment so nobody laughs you out of the office again. Want Your Free Personalized Hot AF Plan? Take the quiz. Join The Vanity Club . Where women over 40 come to look hot AF. No apologies. No judgment. Rewritten Beauty. The serum I built when I turned 40 and refused to disappear. Get your bottle. Use code MYSELF for 15% off. This one is for every woman who's been told her exhaustion, her low libido, and her missing spark are just her age. I'm a skincare founder and a clinical nutritionist, and I've spent $1.3 million figuring out what actually works on a woman's body over 40, hormones included. First I get into what testosterone actually did for me, which I found out the hard way when I accidentally ran out for two weeks, why you are not too young to be having this conversation, and why so many women get told their labs are "normal" while they feel nothing like themselves. Then I walk through the form they don't warn you about, the doctor who told my friend to just be grateful her husband still finds her attractive, why it's rarely just testosterone, and the exact playbook I'd use to walk into an appointment and not get dismissed.
