🚨 Testosterone therapy in women remains one of the most misunderstood and inconsistently applied areas of hormone care. Unlike men, women do not have FDA-approved testosterone products, making dosing strategy and delivery method critical to both safety and effectiveness.

In this video, I review the clinical evidence behind testosterone pellet dosing in women, explain how pellets compare to topical gels, and clarify why outcomes depend far more on dose, pharmacokinetics, and monitoring than on the delivery method itself.

Drawing from published consensus statements, clinical studies, and real-world patient data, I address:
- Why standardized testosterone options exist for men, but not for women
- How testosterone pellets are dosed safely in clinical practice
- What research shows about absorption, variability, and blood levels
- How to interpret testosterone labs in women
- Why precision matters when approved products are unavailable

This discussion is informed by the General Consensus Position Statement on the Use of Testosterone for Women (Climacteric, 2019), which outlines the evidence base, indications, and limitations of testosterone therapy in women.

This is an evidence-based discussion intended for patients and clinicians seeking a clearer, more rigorous understanding of testosterone therapy in women — grounded in physiology, data, and careful dosing rather than assumptions or fear.

As we begin a new year, it’s worth pausing to look at what actually resonated with women in midlife over the past year.

The most-watched videos of 2025 make one thing clear: midlife wellness is not about a single conversation or one solution. It’s not only about menopausal hormone therapy — it’s about the full, interconnected picture of health, vitality, and longevity.

From hormones and metabolism to strength, sexuality, skincare, and what’s ahead in midlife medicine, these six videos reflect the wide spectrum of topics women are actively seeking clarity on right now.

Below are the 6 most-watched midlife wellness videos of 2025, listed from #6 to #1 (most popular).

If weight loss feels harder than it used to, it’s not because you’re doing something wrong — it’s because your body has changed.

I’m excited to share a newly released offer for our
Holistic Medical Weight Optimization Program — a 12-week, physician-guided program designed specifically for midlife bodies.

This program is recommended for women who:
• Have 15–50+ pounds to lose, or
• Have more than 10% body fat to lose based on body composition

✨ Limited-time offer

💰 $2,700 ($500 off our regular price)

This particular offer is built around terzepatide (Mounjaro) — a medication that has shown more significant weight-loss results than Ozempic in clinical trials and in our own clinic experience. When used appropriately and medically, it can be a powerful support — not a shortcut.

But medication alone is never the solution.
Lasting results come from addressing the whole system.

Our 6 pillars for success

1️⃣ Nutrition
No restrictive “diets.” We focus on nutrition that supports your metabolism and feels sustainable.

2️⃣ Movement
Not punishment — just consistent movement that builds muscle and supports fat loss.

3️⃣ Hormones
Midlife hormone shifts, including insulin resistance, make weight loss harder. We address this medically.

4️⃣ Mindset
Past attempts don’t define your future. Belief and support matter more than willpower.

5️⃣ Medication
Terzepatide, prescribed and monitored weekly, as part of a comprehensive medical plan.

6️⃣ Accountability & Support
A structured 12-week commitment with guidance every step of the way.

If you’re ready to stop fighting your body — and start working with it — this program was designed for you.

— Dr. Susan 🤍

As we come to the close of 2025, I want to pause for a moment and say something that truly matters:

Thank you.

Everything we’ve built, grown, and sustained this year at Complete Midlife Wellness Center has only been possible because of the women who trust us with their health, their stories, and their journeys. Being part of your care — especially in midlife — is a responsibility I never take lightly.

Here are a few moments from 2025 that we’re especially proud of:

• Thousands of women supported through comprehensive wellness visits, hormone optimization, nutrition-forward care, and long-term health planning
• Expanded access to midlife care across our Houston locations — Museum District, Tanglewood/Piney Point, and Cypress
• Deeper focus on whole-woman health, integrating hormones, metabolic health, bone strength, muscle, mental well-being, and longevity
• Continued education and conversation around perimenopause and menopause — helping women understand their bodies instead of feeling dismissed by them
• A growing community of women choosing to be proactive, informed, and empowered about their health

After more than a decade devoted to midlife medicine, one thing remains constant:
women thrive when they are heard, supported, and given the right tools at the right time.

As we look ahead to 2026, our commitment stays the same — thoughtful, evidence-based care, delivered with compassion, clarity, and respect for where you are in life. We’re excited to continue evolving our programs, education, and services to meet you there.

Thank you for trusting me.
Thank you for trusting our team.
And thank you for being part of this community.

Here’s to health, strength, and possibility in the year ahead.

With gratitude,
Dr. Susan Hardwick-Smith
and the Complete Midlife Wellness Center team

You may have seen the viral Instagram trend — young, ultra-fit bodies moving through choreographed strength exercises, linked together like an effortless dance.

We loved it… so we decided to try copying it.
Leandro Fornito (LeoMoves):
https://www.instagram.com/reels/DOyiNF9CPSX/

And then we asked the real question:
Could women in their 50s do this too?

With a few smart modifications — absolutely.

As we enter a new year, we’re trying something new: a choreographed full-body workout inspired by those viral videos, but designed for real midlife bodies. It’s much harder than it looks, but not impossible — and surprisingly fun.

This no-equipment workout can be done anywhere and completed in about 12 minutes. Try following along by linking 2 exercises… or all 7, then repeat the sequence for as many rounds as you can, resting as needed in between.

The Workout
Front-Back Monkeys
Table Taps
Crawl Hip Twists
Front Kicks
Lunge to Handstand Clasp
Mountain Climbers
Basejumper to Cross Tap

🔥 No equipment. Full-body burn.This sequence challenges coordination, strength, and endurance — while keeping movement playful and engaging.

Led by master personal trainer Kelley Workman, this workout proves that learning new movement patterns in midlife isn’t just possible — it’s powerful.

👉 Save this workout for later
👉 Share it with friends
👉 Come back and challenge yourself again

Strong bodies. Curious minds. A new way to move into the new year. 💪✨

✨ Employee of the Year 2025 — Jacob “JT” Trauber ✨
Some people don’t seek the spotlight — they bring steadiness wherever they go.�JT is one of those people.

Day after day, he shows up with quiet strength, genuine care, and a calm presence that helps keep our clinic grounded — especially when it matters most. Much of what he does happens behind the scenes, yet its impact is felt across the entire team.
His consistency, professionalism, and thoughtful approach create a deep sense of trust and ease — the kind that allows everyone around him to do their best work. JT leads not by being loud, but by being dependable, kind, and deeply committed.
We are grateful for the way he supports his colleagues, cares for our patients, and contributes to the spirit of CMWC.

This year’s recognition celebrates the steady, generous presence that has quietly shaped our clinic all year long. ✨

One of the greatest joys of what we do isn’t just caring for our patients — it’s the relationships that grow along the way.

Every holiday, one of our longtime patients stops by with the most thoughtful, handmade candy creations for our team. Christmas trinkets, sweet treats, and so much heart — all made with care and shared with love.

Moments like these remind us that this is more than a clinic. It’s a community built on kindness, gratitude, and genuine connection.

We are endlessly thankful for patients like you who brighten our days in the most meaningful ways. ✨🍬🎁

✨ December Employee of the Month: Gabby Lopez ✨ If you’ve ever called, scheduled, rescheduled, had a question—or five—you’ve likely felt Gabby’s calm, steady presence.

No matter how full the day gets, she shows up grounded, kind, and genuinely caring. Her ability to stay present and helpful—even under pressure—makes a real difference for our patients and our team.

We are so grateful for you, Gabby. Thank you for being such a steady, joyful force in our clinic. 🤍
