Testosterone & Libido during perimenopause, menopause & midlife - with Heather Hirsch MD
In this episode, I talk to menopause clinician, author and podcaster Dr. Heather Hirsch, about the role of testosterone for women, especially in midlife, often misunderstood as just a male hormone. Testosterone can actually be the missing piece of the puzzle when it comes to our perimenopause and menopause symptoms. We'll be talking about what we need it for, how and why we lose it, how it can help with boosting libido, brain clarity and energy levels too, but also why it may not be right for everyone. And we'll also find out why it's hard to get it prescribed in the UK right now.
Dr. Hirsch is an internal medicine physician specialising in women's health and menopause care at the Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, USA. Her clinical work and research centres on inequalities or unanswered questions in the field of women's health, specifically menopause education, and she aims to help women experiencing symptoms of perimenopause and menopause to thrive in midlife.
