Should Women Use Male Testosterone Products? | Real-Life Demo
In this video, I’m diving into a question I’m asked all the time — should women use male testosterone products?
The answer might surprise you. Testosterone therapy can be a safe and effective treatment for Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder (HSDD) and other symptoms of low testosterone in women — but the key lies in dose, delivery method, and medical supervision.
I’ll walk you through:
• The science behind testosterone in women and why it matters for sexual health, energy, and well-being
• The difference between FDA-approved male testosterone products and compounded testosterone gels or creams commonly prescribed for women
• How dosage adjustments are made for female physiology
• A real-life demonstration on how to correctly use topical testosterone products
• Important considerations for safety, absorption, and hormone balance It’s not about “male vs. female” testosterone — it’s about finding the right form and dose to restore optimal function and vitality.
Medical Insight: Testosterone is a crucial hormone in women too — affecting libido, bone density, muscle mass, and overall mood. Low levels can contribute to fatigue, loss of desire, and decreased quality of life. As always, hormone therapy should be personalized and physician-guided.

Exploring Low-Dose Radiation for Midlife Osteoarthritis & Tendinitis
In this video, I share my personal experience with low-dose radiation therapy for osteoarthritis and inflammatory knee pain — a treatment with a long history in Europe that’s now being re-examined in the U.S. as a safe, evidence-based option for chronic orthopedic pain.
Low-dose radiation therapy (LDRT) involves the use of very small, precisely targeted doses of radiation — typically one-tenth or less of what’s used in cancer treatment — to reduce inflammation and modulate immune response in joints, tendons, and soft tissues.
Research has shown that these low doses can help relieve pain and improve mobility, often providing durable results without the side effects of steroids or long-term medications. I’m joined by Dr. Sanjay Mehta, Radiation Oncologist at St. Joseph Cancer Center in Houston, to discuss the science behind this therapy, its mechanisms of action, and the clinical outcomes we’re seeing today for conditions such as:
• Osteoarthritis
• inflammatory knee pain
• Plantar fasciitis
• Tennis elbow
• Shoulder and joint pain You’ll also see a glimpse of my own treatment session, as we explore how this “old yet new” approach is helping patients regain comfort, function, and quality of life — without medications or surgery.

Does testosterone replacement really help women?
In this final episode of my Menopause Awareness Month mini-series, we’re tackling a question I hear almost daily: Does testosterone replacement really help women? The answer is yes — absolutely, when it’s prescribed and monitored by a clinician experienced in midlife hormone therapy. Here’s what’s important to understand: both men and women have testosterone — the difference is in the amount, not the presence. On average, women have about one-tenth the testosterone of men at a similar age. Beyond its well-known role in sexual desire (particularly for women with Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder, or HSDD), optimized testosterone supports a wide range of systems that often decline during midlife.
Adequate levels can:
✨ Enhance muscle mass and protect bone density
✨ Improve mood, motivation, and cognitive clarity
✨ Support deeper, more restorative sleep
If you’re wondering whether testosterone might help you, consider these three simple screening questions:
✅ Did your sex drive use to be better?
✅ Do you wish it were better?
✅ Is that change causing you distress or relationship strain?
If you answered “yes” to these, it’s worth checking your levels.
For most women, healthy ranges fall around 50–100 ng/dL — but what truly matters is how you feel, not just the number. This episode explains how we safely restore testosterone to optimal levels and why individualized, physician-guided therapy makes all the difference.

Can You Take Progesterone After a Hysterectomy?
This is the second video in my three-part mini-series for Menopause Awareness Month, where I’m addressing some of the most common — and most misunderstood — questions about hormones in midlife.
Today, we’re talking about progesterone after hysterectomy. The short answer: Yes, you can still benefit from progesterone — even if you no longer have a uterus. While progesterone’s primary medical role is to protect the uterine lining from estrogen-related overgrowth, it also plays several other key roles in overall health and wellbeing.
Research shows that progesterone can:
✨ Improve sleep quality
✨ Enhance mood and reduce anxiety
✨ Support healthy hair, skin, and nail growth.
For many women, these benefits make progesterone an important part of hormone optimization — even after a hysterectomy. And if you’ve tried progesterone but found it made you overly sleepy or just didn’t feel quite right, there’s still a way to get its protective effects. In that case, we can use an IUD (intrauterine device) that releases progesterone directly into the uterine area. This ensures you still receive the local benefits of progesterone, particularly its protective effect against uterine cancer, while minimizing systemic side effects.
💬 Watch this episode to learn how we personalize hormone therapy for your unique needs — and stay tuned for the final part of the series: Testosterone for Women in Menopause.
