Testosterone in Perimenopause with Dr. Ariane Ouellet-Decoste and Fiona Lake Waslander: Women’s Health, Perimenopause and Menopause Journey

In this episode, we dive deep into the often misunderstood world of testosterone for women with Coral's Medical Director, Dr. Ariane Ouellet-Decoste and Coral Co-Founder and CEO, Fiona Lake Waslander.
With so much conflicting advice out there, it's hard to know who to trust. How do you weigh the potential risks and benefits of treatments, lifestyle changes, or even the option to do nothing at all?
