Did you know dry eyes could be a sign of low testosterone — in women?
Most people think testosterone is a "male hormone." But it's one of the most important hormones in a woman's body too and most women (and their doctors) have no idea.
Low testosterone in women can look like:
-Crying spells, anxiety and mood swings
-Brain fog and memory problems
-Fatigue and loss of motivation
-Dry eyes or burning mouth
-Rising blood sugar that won't budge
-Losing muscle no matter how much you exercise
And here's what most women are never told: testosterone is breast-protective. Women with lower testosterone levels are actually at higher risk for breast cancer, yet almost no one is testing for it.
Testosterone naturally starts declining in your late 20s. If you've had your ovaries removed, you've lost half your testosterone-producing organs overnight. Yet women are handed antidepressants instead of hormone testing.
We need to do better.
Get your hormones tested, all three: estrogen, progesterone, AND testosterone.
