## Resource

In this episode, Jenny breaks down the role of testosterone in women’s health and why this often-overlooked hormone matters during the menopause transition. She explains what testosterone does in the female body, including its impact on motivation, muscle strength, libido, confidence, and cognitive sharpness, and how symptoms can show up when levels are too low or too high. Jenny also discusses common signs of hormonal imbalance, why testosterone therapy for women can be complicated, and why lifestyle should always be the first place to start. You’ll learn practical ways to naturally support healthy testosterone levels.
