Memorable Quotes:

"Having adequate testosterone up in that physical level where they would have been in their thirties, actually improves body composition by increasing muscle strength, muscle mass, and the number of pounds of muscle you have, which then makes you more metabolically active and more able to burn fat, because muscle burns fat." – Betty Murray

"Testosterone absolutely helps contribute to that skin thickness in elasticity, particularly in women. So when we support it, we get that balance and we get better skin health, for sure." – Betty Murray
