Testosterone, a hormone often thought of as a male hormone, is surprisingly still extremely important for females. But it’s far more than just a sex hormone—it can affect the brain, muscle, fat, bone, and nerves.

Remarkably, this perceived male hormone may have more significant effects to a female’s health even beyond our sexual health!
