Women and Testosterone: The Key to a Healthy Libido

As women add more candles to their birthday cake, they may notice symptoms such as low energy, weight gain, difficulty sleeping, and yes, low libido. Today we’re going to talk about women and testosterone, and this hormone’s role in a healthy libido.

In recent years, Jane Fonda made the news when she revealed the secret to her healthy love life in her seventies: testosterone. Stating that she was having the best sex of her life, she made many people envious. She also shared the fact that she takes testosterone supplementation for a healthy love life.

That’s right – Fonda stated that she starting taking the sex hormone testosterone and it has made a huge difference in her romantic moods and inclinations. Many people at the time voiced their disappointment or even concern over using what some have called artificial help, and we beg to differ from the skeptics. Bioidentical testosterone is the real thing.

First, testosterone is not exclusive to men, although it’s primary known as the male sex hormone. Women also produce testosterone in smaller amounts in their ovaries and adrenal glands. As women age, the level of testosterone begins to decline, which can be a huge factor in women losing their libido as they age.

Testosterone Improves Low Libido
As a substantial number of women experience diminished sexual interest and well-being during their late reproductive years. Testosterone therapy improves well-being, mood, and sexual function in premenopausal women with low libido and low testosterone. (1)  In women who have had one or both of their ovaries removed, treatment with testosterone improved sexual function and psychological well-being substantially more than placebo treatment. (2)  In a study of women in whom menopause had been induced by surgery, high doses of testosterone increased sexual desire and arousal more than placebo or estrogen alone. (3, 5)  Results from clinical studies show that hormone replacement therapy with estrogen plus androgens provides greater improvement in psychologic and sexual symptoms than does estrogen alone in naturally and surgically menopausal women. (4)

Either way you look at it, whether you’re a husband or wife, low testosterone may result in the loss of a marriage. Low testosterone is a negative game changer.

The good news is there is a healthy solution. Replenishing your body’s natural level of hormones wouldn’t be classified as artificial help if done properly and monitored by a trained physician in bioidentical hormone replacement therapy. By balancing your body’s level of testosterone using bioidentical hormones, you’re simply putting back in what’s missing. Who says you need to feel old when there are natural options?

In addition to being a natural female libido enhancer, testosterone improves the tone of the vagina and bladder, decreases body fat, improves muscle strength and bone density, enhances thyroid hormone function, relieves anxiety and depression, and promotes mental clarity.

Bioidentical testosterone contains a myriad of benefits for us all.

I’ve been a guest at this facility for 15 years. They are the most efficient, thorough and caring group of individuals I’ve ever experienced. Dr Hotze looks to change the way a typical doctor treats patients and looks for root causes to eliminate medical issues instead of treating “symptoms”. My life has improved 100% since my initial visit. The cost of the treatments are worth it.

I cannot accurately describe in words how I feel about this practice and the entire staff. I have had quite a few health issues throughout the years, rheumatoid arthritis, sjogrens, weight gain, hair loss, irritability, and that is just the beginning. I had pretty much given up on feeling good, just decided to "live with it" and hope for the best. Two very close friends love the Hotze Wellness Clinic and they have experienced life changing health. Made my appointment and from the beginning I felt heard. Not a in and out fast food style practice. They are looked and are looking at my entire body for overall health and wellness. Connections from mind and body to clinical blood work, even dental questions....they care and I feel as if I can trust them. I am on a path to complete wellness and my goal is to have my RA back in remission as it once was....make yourself a priority. Having hope is an incredible feeling!
