Though testosterone is often thought of as a male hormone, it’s absolutely crucial for female health, too. In fact, testosterone is the most abundant active hormone in women - even more than estrogen! Yes, it helps women grow and maintain muscle mass, but it does a whole lot more, and when levels drop, you’re really going to feel it. Keep watching to learn how to assess your testosterone levels and boost them if they’re low!

I have all the symptoms and I just know I'm low T.. I've suspected it for a few years.. this just confirms what I have suspected. The younger you are? .. nah.. I at 60 years old should be where I feel the best, I have lost all vitality, I swear I'm going to get this fixed!

Is there an alternative to the Dutch test? Is us way out of my budget.

My dhea is so low in Dutch test but cortisol is so high😢

I wish you could do the Dutch test based on my lab results, my physician who ran my test didn’t know what I was talking about lol

I asked my primary doctor for a Dutch test and she looked at me like I was crazy

I'm not sure I'm posting under the right video because I've watched a few of yours, sorry for that.
Why did you say not to wash plastic in the dish washer? I only have glass containers but they have plastic lids.
Does plastic leach even if the temperature is not so high (at 45 celsius degrees)?

Is pg/ml the same as ng/ml?? My total testosterone was 1.45 nmol/L .... so that is 0.41 ng/mL ... or 41.82 ng/dL. I'm confused, it came up as normal on my blood test. The free androgen index was only 0.73, which is near the bottom of normal range, and SHBG elevated at 200 nmol/L. I have symptoms of low testosterone and just started testosterone cream. I didn't want to try and wait for the SHBG to normalize because I'm desperate to improve my symptoms. The SHBG was probably elevated due to a medication I was taking that I have since stopped. or, it could be due to the fact I'm taking levothyroxine and liothyronine.

What about testosterone after menopause caused by chemo?

Hi doctor. My DHEA level is 128. My T levels are: 18 (total testosterone) and 1.6 (free T). Am I reading this correctly- my DHEA levels are normal but T levels are low? So DHEA is not to blame here?

I’ve got a result of 0.46 ng/ml of testosterone, is it normal?
