Testosterone Therapy for Women: Treating Labs, Symptoms, and the Woman in Front of Us For many women, hormone care has become an exercise in frustration. You feel exhausted, flat, foggy, weaker than you used to be, and disconnected from yourself. Labs are checked, you’re told everything looks “normal,” and the conversation ends there.
