Testosterone in Women: Why It Matters More Than You Think
By Kellie Williams, FNP-C | Women’s Health 360
When most people hear “testosterone,” they think of men. But here’s the truth:
testosterone is just as important for women—especially when it comes to energy, mood, libido, and metabolism. And yet, it’s one of the most overlooked hormones in women’s health.
Let’s talk about why testosterone matters and how optimizing it can help you feel more like you again.
What Does Testosterone Do in Women?
Testosterone is produced in your ovaries and adrenal glands, and while women produce much less than men, it’s still crucial for:
• Libido and sexual response
• Lean muscle mass and bone strength
• Energy and stamina
• Mental clarity and mood
• Metabolic health and fat burning
What Happens When It’s Low?
As women enter their late 30s and 40s, testosterone levels naturally decline. Low levels
may cause:
• Low libido and arousal issues
• Fatigue and sluggishness
• Decreased motivation
• Mood swings or depression
• Muscle loss and weight gain
• Brain fog
Many women are misdiagnosed with depression or anxiety when the root cause is actually hormonal.
What We Look For
At Women’s Health 360, we don’t just look at your labs—we connect them to your
symptoms. A thorough hormone panel helps us evaluate:
• Total testosterone
• Free testosterone

Treatment Options
If low testosterone is confirmed, we offer individualized treatment options, which may
include:
• Bioidentical testosterone therapy (cream, injection, or pellet)
• DHEA support for adrenal hormone optimization
• Peptides and nutraceuticals for added metabolic and libido support
• Lifestyle strategies to support hormone balance naturally
Is It Safe?
When prescribed and monitored properly by a trained provider, testosterone therapy can be safe and transformative. We closely track your levels, symptoms, and overall well-being every step of the way.
