Dr. Eugene Shippen has entered the room. In his book, he provides many cases in which testosterone has been used in both middle-aged men and women to restore a sense of vigor, healthy libido, memory problems, muscle tone, sexual functioning, yet it remains a much misunderstood hormone. Testosterone is one of the most crucial substances in our bodies.
Women produce a tenth of the testosterone that men produce.
This one tenth is a critical amount. In menopause these levels frequently drop well below this. Testosterone is available in lozenges, creams, gels, injections, and pellets. The type of hormone replacement is very individualized. There are many common symptoms, usually more subtle in men but overlapping - energy, strength, libido, even hot flashes are similar.
