Most women have never been told that testosterone is the dominant hormone in the female body.
Not estrogen.
Not progesterone.
Testosterone, at roughly three times the level of the other two.
When it tanks, the symptoms are the ones women are taught to push through: the afternoon crash, the fatigue after meals, the 5 PM exhaustion. They get labeled as stress, aging, or "just being a mom."
In this episode of Dialed In Health, Mary Jordan, NP of Encompass Wellness and Aesthetics walks through what a real hormone workup looks like and why bioidentical pellets are her preferred method of testosterone replacement in women.
If you work with women who have been dismissed by their provider or told their labs are "normal" when something is clearly off, this is the episode to share.
