Low Energy, Weight Gain, No Libido? THIS Hormone Could Be the Reason!

When we talk about hormones that impact women’s health, most of the focus goes to estrogen and progesterone. But there’s another hormone that plays a huge role in how you feel every day—and most doctors never bring it up.
That hormone? Testosterone.
Yes, women need testosterone too. And if your levels are low, it can tank your energy, slow your metabolism, and even affect your mood and motivation.
So why aren’t more women talking about this? And more importantly—what can you do to support your body naturally?

Why Women NEED Testosterone
Testosterone is often misunderstood as a “male hormone,” but women produce it too—just in smaller amounts. And those small amounts matter.
This one hormone helps with:
✅ Energy & motivation – Ever feel exhausted no matter how much you rest? Testosterone plays a role in how well your cells produce energy.
✅ Muscle tone & fat metabolism – If you feel like your body composition is changing, testosterone may be part of the reason.
✅ Brain function & mood stability – It interacts with key neurotransmitters like dopamine and serotonin.
✅ Sex drive & vaginal health – If your libido has disappeared, this hormone could be the missing link.
But here’s the thing: women naturally start losing testosterone after 30, and some lifestyle habits can make the decline even worse.
👉 In my latest video, I dive deeper into why this happens and how to support your body naturally—watch it here: https://youtu.be/H6N-TquUS1Q?si=8HoPBZ4gZ0dnnNVw
Signs You Might Have Low Testosterone
How do you know if your levels might be lower than they should be?
Here are some common signs of low testosterone in women:
Fatigue that doesn’t go away
Unexplained belly fat or loss of muscle tone
Low sex drive or vaginal dryness
Mood swings, irritability, or brain fog

What Causes Low Testosterone in Women?
Women naturally lose testosterone with age, but some factors accelerate the decline:
⚡ Chronic stress & high cortisol – When stress is high, testosterone takes a hit.
💤 Poor sleep quality – Your body needs deep sleep for hormone production.
🥗 Nutrient deficiencies – Zinc, Vitamin D, and Magnesium all play a role.
🏋️ Lack of strength training – If you’re not challenging your muscles, your body produces less testosterone.
These are just a few of the reasons testosterone might be low, but the good news? You can support your body naturally with the right lifestyle habits.

Should You Consider Testosterone Replacement Therapy?
Some women turn to bioidentical testosterone therapy, but it’s not always the right choice. I always recommend starting with lifestyle changes first, because even though bioidentical hormones are “natural,” they’re still medications—and not every woman responds well to them.
I’ve seen some women get prescribed too much testosterone, experience unwanted side effects, and regret it later.
That’s why I focus on natural optimization first—so your body has the best foundation before considering hormone replacement.
