Listen Later

Why are so many women denied testosterone?

In this episode, Dr Louise Newson is joined by US menopause specialist Dr Susan Hardwick-Smith for a vital conversation about testosterone and why so many women are still being denied treatment that could transform their lives.

Drawing on both personal and clinical experience, Louise and Susan discuss the widespread misunderstanding surrounding testosterone inwomen, why symptoms of hormone deficiency are so often dismissed as stress or depression and the importance of individualised care.

They explore how hormones affect the brain, energy,motivation, cognition and long-term health, not just libido, and why current guidelines often fail to reflect what doctors see in real-life practice.
