INSIGHT

Testosterone Is More Than A Sex Hormone

  • Testosterone in women affects libido, cognition, motivation, muscle mass, and fat distribution beyond just sex drive.
  • Dr. Amie Hornaman calls it the “GSD” hormone because it fuels daily drive and mental clarity.
ADVICE

Look At Free Testosterone First

  • Prioritize free testosterone when evaluating levels, but check total too to ensure it's not clearly low.
  • For women aim for upper half of the lab range; for men consider free T targets like ~20 ng/dL.
ADVICE

Use Serum Blood For Reliable T Testing

  • Use serum blood testing to measure testosterone rather than saliva or urine for clarity.
  • Test at any time of the month because women's testosterone remains fairly constant across the cycle.
