question from a user

I literally just started on TRT for the first time this week. 43 yo m, self aware moodiness and fights with my wife over dumb shit along with obvious physical reasons for going on. Trying to persuade my wife into even looking into benefits for woman, let along starting. I debated for a few years going on before finally deciding. I believe it would help her tremendously as she’s 41 and seems to be experiencing premenopausal symptoms. She’s a horrible sleeper and it only seems to be getting worse with age always tired, mood swings, lack of libido has decreased significantly after kids. She’s in the medical field and says I’m nuts for going on, even after I explained to her that most likely a good portion of men she works with are most likely on it. I feel like it’s something that would be almost impossible to convince to do. Thanks!

Glad to hear you are finally getting treated. I’m sure with time your wife will see how it helps you be the best version of yourself and will come to see the merits of TRT.

There are many myths surrounding testosterone use, even amongst the medical community. In fact, we have only really had good quality studies on the benefits of TRT in the last 12 years or so. Before that we were basically taught TRT causes heart attacks, roid rage, and prostate cancer. Now we know it causes none of those things and in fact seems to be preventative of those things.

Women benefit greatly from TRT. In fact, in my clinical experience treating both men and women, I think they benefit more. Optimizing testosterone in men makes them feel young again. Optimizing testosterone in women often makes them feel better than they have ever felt in their entire lives.
