    What if the key to unlocking women's vitality lies in a hormone often labeled as masculine? This episode flips the script on testosterone, revealing its essential role in women's hormonal symphony. We promise you'll gain insights into how testosterone impacts everything from libido to mood, with its peak just before ovulation infusing confidence and satisfaction. We break down the science behind testosterone production in the ovaries and adrenal glands, and the surprising hero in this story: LDL cholesterol. Join us as we explore how understanding testosterone's influence can transform your approach to well-being, especially during perimenopause and menopause.

    The conversation takes a deep dive into the historical and genetic factors influencing our hormonal balance. You'll learn how reconnecting with our bodies, through methods like body scan meditation, can unlock greater self-awareness and resilience.
