Though testosterone is often thought of as a male hormone, it’s absolutely crucial for female health, too. In fact, testosterone is the most abundant active hormone in women - even more than estrogen! Yes, it helps women grow and maintain muscle mass, but it does a whole lot more, and when levels drop, you’re really going to feel it. Keep watching to learn how to assess your testosterone levels and boost them if they’re low!

Thanks for the video! Do you have video about perimenopause? Lot of info regarding menopause but not enough for perimenopause. Thanks so much!

[@DrKateLyzengaDean]

You're welcome! For most women, T starts to drop before menopause (during perimenopause), so much of the same info applies. Are you looking for more general perimenopausal information re: other hormones?

[@Rwashere28]

@@DrKateLyzengaDean yes. I believe I’m in the beginning stage of peri but I also having regular pms symptoms. Thanks again!

[@handprintlady]

Is there an alternative to the Dutch test? Is us way out of my budget.

[@DrKateLyzengaDean]

I don't know of an alternative that gets you even close to the level of detail and actionable data as the DUTCH Complete - but it's an investment!

[@JamieAndrick]

I have all the symptoms and I just know I'm low T.. I've suspected it for a few years.. this just confirms what I have suspected. The younger you are? .. nah.. I at 60 years old should be where I feel the best, I have lost all vitality, I swear I'm going to get this fixed!

[@DrKateLyzengaDean]

Glad you found the video helpful!

[@nataliewei5186]

Hi doctor. My DHEA level is 128. My T levels are: 18 (total testosterone) and 1.6 (free T). Am I reading this correctly- my DHEA levels are normal but T levels are low? So DHEA is not to blame here?

[@DrKateLyzengaDean]

Unfortunately, I can't confirm this conclusion for a few reasons: 1) without knowing A LOT more specifics about you and your health, it would be irresponsible for me to provide any specific lab analysis, especially here in the KZbin comments 😆 I'd hate to further muddy the waters or steer you in the wrong direction! 2) It makes a difference if you're measuring total DHEA vs. DHEA-S which is only one metabolite of DHEA. And these levels do vary by age, as does testosterone. And, again, I can't do that in the comments. That said, if you're looking for guidance for your situation - which it sounds like you are - you're welcome to apply for a 1:1 consultation with me (bit.ly/drkate1on1)!

[@lambylambcurly]

Dr, what do you think about Maca for hormonal balance? Thanks

[@DrKateLyzengaDean]

Like I mentioned in the video, "hormonal balance" is much to broad to be solved by a single nutrient or herb. Maca might be helpful under one set of circumstances, or actively push you the wrong direction under different circumstances. I'm advocating that we start discussing more specific issues (like low progesterone, estrogen dominance, low T, etc.). That's what I cover in my NEW Hormone Balance Deep Dive - check it out here: www.drkateld.com/hormone-balance-deep-dive-info-page

[@Mr_TTR]

I wish you could do the Dutch test based on my lab results, my physician who ran my test didn’t know what I was talking about lol

[@DrKateLyzengaDean]

You can order a DUTCH test for yourself on my website if you'd like! Here's some more info: www.drkateld.com/DUTCH-info

[@jennybadl7840]

I'm not sure I'm posting under the right video because I've watched a few of yours, sorry for that. Why did you say not to wash plastic in the dish washer? I only have glass containers but they have plastic lids. Does plastic leach even if the temperature is not so high (at 45 celsius degrees)?

[@DrKateLyzengaDean]

Yes - plastics with BPA shouldn't be exposed to heat.

[@jennybadl7840]

@@DrKateLyzengaDean Thank you 🙏

[@deanarjones9114]

What about testosterone after menopause caused by chemo?

[@DrKateLyzengaDean]

You've got options! Given the complicated hormones, I'd start with a DUTCH test. Happy to help you get your hands on one: www.drkateld.com/DUTCH-info

[@lambylambcurly]

My dhea is so low in Dutch test but cortisol is so high😢

[@DrKateLyzengaDean]

That makes sense!

[@anwaralaa20]

I’ve got a result of 0.46 ng/ml of testosterone, is it normal?

[@DrKateLyzengaDean]

Out of context, I can't say for sure! There are lots of different testosterone levels - total? free? SO much depends on your specific situation.

[@JB-wp2gn]

I asked my primary doctor for a Dutch test and she looked at me like I was crazy

[@DrKateLyzengaDean]

Yeah...it's a real bummer. I help folks get ahold of DUTCH testing all the time, so let me know if you need options!
