Testosterone Truths: Motivation, Muscle, and Mood for Men and Women : ep. 7

Testosterone isn't just about libido or muscle—it’s a foundational hormone for energy, metabolism, motivation, and mood in both men and women.

In this episode of The Metabolic Edit, I break down the truth about testosterone:

• What it actually does in the body (for both men and women)
• The real signs it’s low (that your doctor probably missed)
• What’s wrecking your testosterone levels
• Smarter testing options beyond basic labs
• And natural strategies to support healthy T levels—without guesswork

Whether you’re a man dealing with fatigue and brain fog, or a woman who just “doesn’t feel like herself,” this one’s for you.
