Testosterone for Men and Women


There is a misconception about testosterone. Many people will identify it as “the male hormone”. While it is true that testosterone levels are normally much higher in men than in women, women also need to be tested for testosterone. If a woman is deficient (relative to the proper female levels) then the symptoms of hormone imbalance occur.


HDL and free testosterone levels often plummet in aging men and women. This combi- nation of low HDL and low testosterone results in the risk of cardiovascular disease develop- ment.


Response to Treatment and Disease Prevention


Most people will see the benefits of bioi- dentical hormones quickly. Within several days a patient will begin to sleep better, and hot


flashes and night sweats will start improving. Libido will begin to return and weight control will be noticeably affected over time.


Follow up by the physician should include monitoring of the per-


son’s response, retesting for hormone levels after a reasonable period of time, and adjustment of the treatment on an individualized basis. The compounding pharmacy can then be instructed by the doctor to change prescriptions as per the unique need of each patient.


As hormone levels return to more youthful levels, improved nutrition, and fitness will likewise enable an individual to feel reju- venated, enjoying greater energy, better overall well-being, and an improved opportunity for greater longevity.
