271. The Truth About Testosterone in Menopause
2026/07/10
I’m excited to share the raw, unpublished findings from my "Menopause in 2026" survey, where I analyzed data from 766 women to identify the optimal "sweet spot" for testosterone levels in hormone replacement therapy (HRT). Through these real-world insights, I break down why many women feel best at levels between 50 and 80 ng/dL and why I strongly caution against the permanent side effects and health risks associated with high-dose pellet therapy. Whether you're struggling with brain fog, mood changes, or joint pain, this video offers a holistic look at how to safely manage testosterone and navigate your menopausal journey with evidence-based guidance. 🩷 Shop Cozy Earth here: ⁠https://cozyearth.com⁠Use code COZYDRHEATHER at checkout to save.

Navigating your hormone replacement therapy journey isn't a one-stop shop, and after treating thousands of women, I've found that 95% of you will need more than a few visits to truly find your balance. In this video, I break down the three common paths, the Titrator, the Superstar, and the Highly Sensitive, to help you identify your own experience and understand why tweaking and titrating is a normal, necessary part of the process. Whether you're dealing with perimenopause shifts, pharmacy shortages, or unexpected sensitivities, I'm here to show you that while the journey is unique for everyone, you are definitely not alone. 🩷 Shop Cozy Earth here: ⁠https://cozyearth.com⁠Use code COZYDRHEATHER at checkout to save.
