Testosterone can be delivered through gels, compounded creams, injections, or pellets—but the delivery method is only part of the conversation.

On The Dr. Gabrielle Lyon Show, I explain how absorption kinetics differ between these options and clarify the injectable terms cypionate and enanthate. Which one is used matters far less than getting the dose right.

Women generally require a fraction of a typical male dose. We start low, check blood levels after approximately six weeks, assess how the patient is feeling, and adjust from there—because every woman absorbs and responds differently.

The dose makes the difference. Testing, monitoring, and individualization are what make treatment thoughtful and safe.

A laboratory “normal range” answers a statistical question. It does not always answer the clinical question: "Is this level right for this woman?"

Lab results matter—but they are only one piece of the picture. Hormone levels must be interpreted alongside symptoms, age, medical history, medications, and how a woman is actually feeling. A number may fall within the reference range while she is still experiencing very real symptoms.

This is a complex and important conversation about the difference between treating a laboratory value and treating the woman sitting in front of you.

Midlife called. We’re taking it to a comedy bar. 😂

Join me for a very different edition of The Gathering: Midlife After Dark—an evening of honest conversation, great company, and plenty of laughter at The Den Comedy Bar.

Nothing stiff. Nothing clinical. Just four women saying the things we’re usually only brave enough to tell our closest girlfriends.

And because we’re at a comedy bar, bring your best menopause or midlife joke—the one your husband or partner doesn’t find nearly as funny as you do. 😉

There may even be a sneak peek of my upcoming 10-minute TED Talk!

I planned to share the three most surprising ways testosterone may benefit women—but there were simply too many important ones, so here are four. 😊

1. Cognitive and mood support
Research, including a remarkable study led by Dr. Louise Newson, is expanding the conversation around testosterone’s potential role in mood, mental clarity, concentration, and overall brain function.

2. A possible protective role in breast health
Some observational studies have found a lower incidence of breast cancer among women receiving testosterone therapy. This is an exciting area of research—not a reason to skip screening or individual medical guidance.

3. Muscle preservation and growth
Testosterone supports lean muscle mass, strength, and physical resilience—especially important as we move through midlife and beyond.

4. Potential osteoarthritis relief
Emerging research is also exploring whether testosterone may help reduce inflammation and improve symptoms associated with osteoarthritis.

Testosterone is not simply a “male hormone.” Women produce it, need it, and deserve accurate information about the role it plays throughout our lives.

Today is a big day for women’s health. The FDA is holding an important public meeting about testosterone therapy for women—including access, appropriate dosing, safety, and the need for FDA-approved treatment options specifically for women.

Testosterone matters deeply to women’s s*xual health, energy, mood, cognition, body composition, and overall sense of vitality.

Low testosterone can show up as a loss of s*xual desire, difficulty reaching or**sm, reduced blood flow and sensation in the cl****is, low energy, increased fat around the middle, anxiety, depression, brain fog, and trouble recalling words.

Too often, women experience these changes and are told they’re simply getting older—or that it’s all in their heads. We deserve a better conversation, grounded in science and led by physicians who understand women’s hormones.

In my conversation on The Dr. Gabrielle Lyon Show, I challenge the myths surrounding testosterone and explain why women deserve accurate information, thoughtful evaluation, and real choices about their health.

I believe we need to keep doing hard things as we age.

Not because life isn’t already hard enough. It is. And as we get older, some of the hard things coming our way won’t be things we get to choose.

But there is something powerful about repeatedly choosing to do difficult things. Every time we do, we create another piece of evidence for ourselves: I can do hard things. Do it often enough, and that evidence becomes self-trust.

I recently completed my 36th half IRONMAN. Swimming in cold water is particularly challenging for me because I have Raynaud’s syndrome, so you could reasonably ask: Why on earth would you keep doing this?

Because it’s incredibly rewarding to know that I can.

And here’s the interesting part: the more we do hard things, the easier doing hard things becomes. Not necessarily because the thing itself has changed, but because we have.

This connects to something I’ve been thinking and writing about for years: the difference between willpower and willingness.

Willpower is pushing yourself into another must-do habit. It requires effort and an ongoing internal fight. Willingness comes from somewhere different. You know why something matters to you. You consciously choose it. And with repetition, that choice can become increasingly easeful.

The hard thing may still be hard. But doing it no longer has to feel like a fight.

In this video, I talk about why deliberately doing difficult things is part of how I think about living well—and how moving from wanting to willing can change our relationship with challenge, health, and ultimately ourselves.

This idea—learning to move from willpower to willingness, and creating a healthier future from a place of intention rather than obligation—is also at the heart of my upcoming book, Create Her, coming in February 2027. It’s not a book about how to be healthy. It’s about understanding why—and how taking care of ourselves can begin to feel less like something we have to force and more like something we genuinely choose.
