Show Notes
Testosterone in women is finally getting more attention, but what does that actually mean for women and their care? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Terri DeNeui to discuss the FDA’s focus on testosterone, why there still isn’t an FDA-approved testosterone treatment specifically for women, and the questions surrounding safety, dosing, and access.
We also talk about symptoms of testosterone deficiency, why “normal” lab ranges don’t always tell the full story, and the larger conversation around medical freedom and individualized care.
Topics We Cover in This Episode:
Why testosterone matters for women
What the FDA is currently considering
Why testosterone remains a controlled substance
When symptoms can appear
Why “normal” labs may not tell the whole story
How dosing and delivery methods matter
Where medical freedom fits into the conversation
Tune in to hear Dr. Terri DeNeui’s perspective on where women’s testosterone care stands today, what still needs to change, and what patients should be asking.

Dr. Anna Cabeca joins me to talk about why so many midlife women are told their labs are normal while they feel exhausted, foggy, and out of step with their own bodies. We talk about what shifts in perimenopause, how falling progesterone and insulin resistance can show up as everyday symptoms, and why Dr. Cabeca treats hormone imbalance as a metabolic question first.
What if I told you right now, this very moment, your body is carrying a chemical load that you have never been tested for, never been warned about, and never asked for? In this episode, I’m joined by Nick Pineault, author of The Non-Tinfoil Guide to EMF and creator of the documentary Body Burden: The Toxins We Carry, to talk about what “body burden” actually means and how the chemicals we encounter through our food, water, air, plastics, household products and technology may intersect with hormones, metabolism and overall health.
Dr. Monisha Bhanote joins me to talk about cellular health and resilience, and why fatigue, brain fog, digestive issues, and other everyday symptoms may be signals from our cells rather than things we should simply accept. We talk about her approach to cell care, cellular consciousness, and why health practices need to be personalized rather than copied from the latest trend.
What happens when you’re doing all the “right” things for your hormones and health, but you still don’t feel better? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Neil Nathan to explore why underlying factors like mold, Lyme disease, inflammation, nervous system dysregulation, and detoxification challenges may complicate treatment.
Social media is full of hormone hacks promising better energy, easier weight loss, balanced hormones, and fewer symptoms. But how much of it is actually backed by science? In this episode, I’m breaking down seven viral trends, including cortisol cocktails, fiber maxing, pink salt, metabolism morning routines, and “hormone-balancing” foods, and separating reasonable health habits from overhyped claims.
