I suffered 10yrs kept being told nothing was FDA approved finally found a doctor my testosterone level was 5, I had been suicidal and begging for help for years…not even functional in my profession thought I was losing my mind. Told I had to be menopausal first at one point. Once I had my first dose…I hadn’t realized how depressed I was…my home looked like someone else had been living there. My whole world became brighter and happier than it had been last 10yrs.

Thank you so much for this video!! I am 52 years old. I hit menopause at 45 and at 50, among a myriad of other symptoms, Including overwhelming apathy, dysmorphia, fatigue, depression, low libido, droopy lower face, trouble sleeping and pure frailty, I was diagnosed with osteopenia, then sarcopenia... at 52 years old, SOMETHING IS WRONG! After much effort, I was completely unable to find a doctor even willing to TEST my testosterone level, let alone prescribe it to me. 5 doctors refused, and some were insulting about it. One of them was a member of North American Menopause Society. I finally got too concerned about my frailty and bone loss that I took out a loan to pay a naturopathic doctor. Test showed my testosterone level was ZERO. DOCTORS PLEASE DON'T LET YOUR PATIENTS GO AWAY FROM YOUR OFFICE WITHOUT KNOWING THAT SHE NEEDS TESTOSTERONE!!

The heck with sex drive. I want my muscle mass and strength back. I have severe osteoporosis in my hip. I am only 58. Going to start this tomorrow. Stress? Lost my very best friend, my husband almost 7 years ago. That is when I went from 103# to 172# with a belly. I am.so week and just don't care to go on. Pain? You bet ya! But I never have been given anything for pain. Drug asdicts get meds but those of us who are in true pain are screwed.

TRT really helped my wife out. I cant even list all her benefits since starting. She takes 20mgs test cypionate sub-q weekly. I wish more doctors were like you. Her last doctor wanted to give her 2 anti-depressants including an SSRI and refused to do a hormonal blood test.

I am happy to see women’s hormone health and fitness getting the attention it needs. Decades ago quality of life and the role that hormones play for both men and women was not getting the attention needed. This is especially true for women as their hormones are more complex

less than ZERO drive for years. Post menopause. Started on bio identicals which helped sleep a lot, still felt muscles melting and NO motivations to do anything.just started a natural supplement for T and I am sleeping better, and seeing motivation levels coming back after just a few weeks! YAY! Allopathic docs have been NO help in my area. My Naturopath has saved my life!

This is great information. Like the comment below, most people are uneducated about hormones, especially testosterone! It is a critical hormone for females, just as it is for males. We just need a much smaller amount than men, but it is still just as important for us.

Thank you Tyna, I learned a lot, I've been focusing mostly on the decrease of progesterone and estrogen in perimenopausal women, but you explain clearly how the lack of testosterone plays a key role in symptom manifestation too. I was glad to hear you mention sarcopenia, I read a book on the subject months back and can see how the lack of muscle development/maintenance is detrimental to the well-being of my elder patients. Thanks again!

I am in my mid 40s and you have described everything I’ve been feeling for a few years, even with resistance training!

Incredible talk, thank you so much Dr. Tyna!

32:02 improving testosterone levels improves global estrogen and progesterone levels !! premenopausal 53 years old, on HRT since one year still assesting . Very gratelful for your video Thanks for sharing blessings

Sometimes I cringe when men talk about menopause and women's hormonal health problems as experts. I would much rather listen to a women doctor who has experienced hormonal imbalances and fixed them and the fact she says treat the person and not one treatment treats all. Also like the fact she doesn't pretend to know everything since there haven't been that many studies done for women. Thank you, Dr. Tyna.

This is the BEST video I have ever seen regarding female testosterone.. THANK YOU for doing this work and giving me hope! I am obsessed with all things hormones. I'm 42 and in perimenopause and have been blown off for two years by just about every doctor.

Thank you for making this content available to all people. Best wishes to you!

wow! you are amazing! Loved the presentation

It's time to start a movement on testosterone for women. It's time. We are not emotionally irrational or mentally weak. We are just low on hormones and doctors are not educated enough to help us, women, moms, wives, etc. If believe hormones therapy might help many relationships or couples and our kids also benefits from our unexpected moods. Perhaps there is a strong correctional between hormones level and mental health.

Thank you SO MUCH for this! Lifesaver.

Such a great, informative tutorial!! Thank you so much. Unfortunately, 3 years on and testosterone therapy is still rarely given to women here in the US. Too many docs still not up to date at all on how important and neccessary this hormone is for us!!

I identify with this so much! I just got blood work back and have an appt tomorrow with an hrt specialist. I am so excited and eager to fix my libido that has been l completely nonexistent for over a year and a half. I'm only 39! But you're right it's a light switch was turned off. It's like a part of me is gone. My poor boyfriend has been so patient with me.

Thank you for all your good job Love and Wisdom Bless you always and Bless us all Kisses from Porto Santo Island, Portugal 🌸🌻

Wow! This is amazing information. There is hope to feel better! My T and free T is sooooo low 😢

I really appreciate how clearly you communicate T deficiency in a relatable way. I wish I came across you in my early 30's as you are validating everything I experienced. Intuitively felt I had higher T and felt like it tanked early in life, suffered decades of trauma, along with misdiagnosed low thyroid, which I later learned was sub optimal to low, based on outdated conventional lab numbers, now I suspect I'm Undiagnosed hypo or hashi. The fun never stops, lol. Looking young and healthy the medical establishment has not taken me seriously which is frustrating and infuriating. Years later during PeriM experienced more symptoms you're mentioning, had I known then what Im learning now, I could have prevented a decade or more of enduring severe symptoms daily during PeriM and early onset Peri, and when I say early I mean early. These major truthbombs 💣are eye opening Women have 3x as much T. to estrogen 💥 Opiods reduce T. and cortisol 💥 3000 mg day of EPA/DHA daily to reduce inflammation 💥 treat the person in front of you mindset is Brilliant 🙌 Anxiety is most likely a zinc deficiency 💥 zinc higher 60 mg This alone explains ALOT, thank you for sharing this vital info, you have rocked my heart care journey, So many A-HA moments, wow ! Now that I'm teetering the big M and learning HRT is not taboo as legend has it, Can I supplement T. along with estrogen and micronized progesterone ? Thx for the awesome educatiion, much Appreciated 😎😘

I have had a hysterectomy and left my overs in but months after I suffer with joint pain, weakness, tiredness, depression, memory to the point I leave the stove on more than once in a week, balance. Oh and yeah, I get cold and achy. Yet the doctors say my hormans are fine. 😢

Wow this has really helped me ! Struggling with depression/ anxiety for years . Been on HRT for 2 years but hasn’t helped me much . I am achy extremely tired , insomnia. And haven’t had a orgasm for years . Always had a good sex like with my husband but it’s so frustrating I can’t reach a orgasm any more .I have a HRT review this week am definitely goin to ask about testosterone. I can’t even run anymore , I try my best getting out walking as much as o can . Also try do weight training 2-3 times a week. But sometimes I just get so exhausted and can’t enjoy my exercise routines , then I will eat rubbish and it makes me feel really depressed x

She described my exact experience with pain. The day after I started hormone therapy the pain disappeared. Over a decade of it had doctors stumped. One of the country’s leading neurosurgeons looked at my MRI and said that he could see the amount of pain I was in but that there was nothing in the MRI that showed a cause.

I am going to go get my levels checked even if I have to pay out of pocket. Need to find the right doctor.....functional medicine doc or lifestyle doc, etc. My libido peaked mid 30's and then by 39 took a total nose dive. Since then skin dryness, sudden onset of major cellulite, which I never had before, even after four kids, dry eyes....tons of these symptoms you highlighted. Great presentation.

Thank you for knowledge. Hair thinning and falling out during menopause. It's related to a lowered production of estrogen and progesterone or too much HDT ? Thank you.

I love your heart! This topic will transform humanity forever

Excellent info

Well done 👍

One of the best videos I have seen for women.

This makes me so hopeful. I’ve suffered 11 years, and I’m finally getting my T Tuesday!

Wow thank you so much for this. I started progesterone and am feeling a lot better but still have a lot of these symptoms you have mentioned. I am only 37 which I did not know happens at my age. My hormone doctor said my testosterone was not optimal level was 24. I was hesitant to start it because I didn't want to lose more hair. Now I am excited to start it.

Im suffering now! Can't get help! I live in Tennessee. Doctors won't help me. I may have to move to another state. Im so sick and frustrated. I have chronic pain and fibro and acid reflux they won't go away. My eyes are itchy and burning. I can't work anymore. Im afraid to go to a clinic. I do not want ozempic or poisonous injections.

Dr. Tyna, you may have stated this but I had to watch the presentation in fragments and can't remember..what did you start with to administer the testosterone for you personally? Cream, gel?? The pain disappearing for you makes me hopeful as my tests show I have NO testosterone!!

You are brilliant thank you 🙏 😇🙏❤️

Very interesting, specially the part of which medicines your husband is taking that can affect you.

Tired for 2 years Hormones and thyroid tested several times. Nobody could help me. Looked at my history... no testerone test by any of my experts

This is exactly what happened to me!

It is frustrating that most of the Doctors in my area only seem to treat "low T levels" with the newer HRT Pellet treatments which is not covered by insurance & pricey not to mention the fact that if they get the dose wrong, your stuck with it for 3 months... aahhhh

That’s is every time I got extreme trauma due to trauma from abusive important male figures

I’m in the UK I have just managed to get my GP to prescribe me Testosterone Gel. I’m on my 3rd day. I hear it can take 3 months to work ? I’ve already been on body Identical HRT for around 8months

Would it be too much to use BOTH DHEA and Testogel ?

How do I support my adrenal axis?

I’m 24 years old and have a total testosterone of 14 ng/dl. My doctor just told me I’m in normal range but I dont feel well at all. What do I do?

You nailed it with me! All of my hormones are in the bottom of the bucket, including Vitamin D and I had daily insomnia for nearly 12 years. My body md brain are thrashed. I desperately want to sleep so I can strength train, reapir and regenerate instead of feeling like I'll be in a nursing home in the short term!

Support your adrenals Yes yes Yes, I luv your train of thought and lifestyle approach 💥🎯💥 wish more clinicians followed your protocol 😎😘

"They think they're going to grow a mustache and turn into the hulk"🤣 Wow!

I’m here because I’m a cancer survivor. At 36 went through menopause. I’m on HRT but only estrogen and progesterone. I believe I need testosterone replacement.

I seem to be having issues ever since I STARTED hormones. I started ibutamoren and i didn't have problems until I was using testosterone natural BOOSTERS and idk if it's interacting with the ibutamoren or what. But I'm just falling apart all of a sudden

I'm on HRT. My gyno will not give me testosterone unless its in the form of pellets.I don't want to go that route. What are my options I've been following you on Instagram for a couple years now .Loved all your content during covid. "truth"

I wish my doctor would watch this I literally have every symptom I mean ALL of them and they say I have undifferentiated mixed connective tissue disease because I don't fall into any category and I have a positive ANA well I was fine my whole life until 3 years ago well I'm on meds etc and I finally am taking my health into my own hands and I am omw to Labcorp now to have my optimal hormone bloodwork I'm praying I will get answers my doctor Said they don't do this test and don't test women's T unless they feel it's high

If testosterone increases plaque in arteries we would have a lot of young people with heart attacks. We don't though so must be the opposite.

My OBGYN ONLY , wants to prescribe compounded testosterone. Or the shot that goes to toy insurance but it was too much and it dropped to nothing!. So none of them are an appropriate option for. So I asked about the patches and gels that are in the preferred list of the insurance, she said that IS NOT FDA APPROVED FOR WOMAN. Please, I want to know and empower myself, I research asked the pharmacist, called My insurance, nobody is telling me if I have any other options besides pellets and compounded ( all out of pocket)

Its interesting how low T. Side effects are similar to those of low estrogen. I read that replacing estrogen often rebalance T levels, what are your thoughts ~ Thx

What about excessive hair growth?

I live in canada, I am in perimenopause, my testosterone is at the very low end but my Dr. says she doesn't know enough about testosterone to prescribe it for me. I also being in canada cannot but DHEA...I feel hopeless

Many of these women with low T are also low in thyroid hormone, even if their lab test show they are within range, give them T3 (not T4) and testosterone will return to normal levels in most cases.

How do you even approach your doctor about this for women? I keep getting told "I don't handle this for those wishing to go through gender reassignment" You speak as though you know my story! And I mean the read between the lines part. Too many doctors are willing to throw depression meds, mis diagnose and even narcotics, opioid drugs. I have gone through mestatic thyroid cancer, total hysterectomy, fibromyalgia, ptsd, anxiety, arthritis *I was told not to run anymore *, hip pain, severe knee pain (doc wants me to do a knee replacement), I could go on.

How anyone taken a daily pill for testosterone?

Early menopause is a drag. Eat more animal fat. I take 2k of d3. My blood levels were 95. I also do keto

Which is better to use Pregnenolone or DHEA? Thank you

Curious why you prefer Progesterone 3 weeks on 1 week off ? Is that for all women with or without uterus ? Thx

Why can't we talk about estrogen conversion, when we get too high estrogen bc of trt and what to do about it

Where do I find your website for my wife

What's the optimal correct dosage for women in regards to testosterone injections 💉

Lawyer up. We need someone that challenges this insane idea that FDA can regulates our access to hormones and well-being.

I’m a 64 y/o woman and I take Bioidentical hormones. Can I also take DHEA at 10 mg.

So im 53 yrs 2 years post menopausal been on TRT my problem is my estrogen is through the roof what should I do

I am a female & my testosterone is low& I have no libido, muscle loss, very poor memory etc could testosterone cause hair loss ? Thanks 🙏

Omg cold and achy this is me 🤣

I got my T up from 9 to 142 within a year.

Sarcopenia sounds frightening ...wasting of muscle & osteoporosis sounds pretty bleak for aging women, hip & knee issues

So can hypothyroidism be misdiagnosed for low testosterone in women since endocrinologists dont test women for testosterone?

Can antidepressants lower testosterone?

50 for testosterone is good for all women according to come doctors.

so what does a woman do if her estradiol E2 is 1.33 and testosterone is 4.6...

My testosterone level is 66. I'm a female 33 years old. I've been trying to get pregnant for 4 years now. I've been having pain in the joint and diagnosed with RA. Now, I decided to see an endocrinology bc I had a stillborn miscarriage. I have Ra and hypohypothyroidism on Levothyroxine and hydroxychloroquine, and according to rheumatology and fertility, doctors say I have to take it for the rest of my life...I don't believe I have to bc I'm all about naturals medicine now I do stop the hydroxychloroquine and I get really bad constipation and gut due to inflammatory when I stop the pills. Does all my pain come from testosterone?

Maybe a stupid question.. but if a men is sterilised, does the semen contain the same amount of testosteron and zinc?

I want my sex drive back!! I haven't felt sexy in a long time. I absolutely am so thankful for finding this video ❣️❤️💕

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

It's weird that economics has not overcome this issue of women being ignored. We are the ones spending the most money in the market - the ones likelier to go to our doctors. It makes economic sense to push products that help women.

Can testosterone shots cause more anxiety in those already experiencing anxiety?

I have 8.9 nd/dl of testosterone I have 37 anos is that low ??? Please some body answer

Just curious how much testosterone does a woman need?

"Woman not havin sex for the fda is not important"🤣😅

Just meat, because grass fed can be expensive for some.

Progesterone pills can cause bleeding after menopause.

1) Apart from dosage, is there any difference between testosterone hrt creams, gels, jabs, for men and women? 2) Progesterone is great when you take it at night, SO when's the best time to apply the T-hormone gel/cream? Morning, night? 3) Because it's not oral or pellets, If you apply the T-hormone gel/cream, say, in the morning after a shower, do you need to reapply after an evening shower before bed to keep it going? 🤔

Brazil nuts are very high on magnesium

What exactly is Erectodom Secrets? How does this thing really work? I notice lots of people keep on speaking about this popular erectile dysfunction treatment.

Boron?

People neEd to do a water fast, if acne instantly pops up Incorporate atleast 3 day water fast Only eat micro amounts if you must Flush out your bowels

Pellet is awful you cannot control levels at all. Injection is better

Interesting. Two medical degrees and cannot pronounce DHEA . It makes you wonder what really passes as a medical degree these days let alone 2 Medical degrees ???
