New Focus This Month: The Power of Testosterone

Yes, testosterone is for women too. It’s not just a “male hormone.” Women produce testosterone in their ovaries, adrenal glands, and brain, and it’s vital for energy, mood, and resilience. By your 40s, levels can drop by up to 50% (Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, 2002). This decline can leave you feeling:
◆ Foggy and unable to focus
​◆ Unmotivated, like your spark is dimmed
​◆ Disconnected from workouts, with less strength or stamina
​◆ Wondering where your sex drive went

Recent research highlights testosterone’s broader impact. A 2024 study found transdermal testosterone improved mood, cognition, and anxiety in perimenopausal women, with 56% reporting less “loss of interest” and 55% fewer crying spells (Archives of Women’s Mental Health, 2024). Another study showed testosterone may protect against breast cancer, with a 39% lower incidence in women on therapy (Journal of Sexual Medicine, 2022). Benefits can include:

  • Sharper mental clarity and focus
  • Enhanced mood, confidence, and motivation
  • Better muscle recovery and bone health
  • Revitalized intimacy and connection

In Rooted Wellness, we take a personalized approach. If testosterone is part of your puzzle, we’ll explore safe, effective options tailored to you. (P.S. Testosterone is a controlled substance and not for everyone, so we’ll ensure it’s the right fit with proper testing and guidance.)
