Saving Marriages & Bedroom Comebacks: Midlife Women on Testosterone with Shalin Shah

Think testosterone is just a male hormone? Think again. In this
game-changing conversation, Shalin Shah, CEO of Marius
Pharmaceuticals, debunks a major myth in women’s health. Spoiler
alert: women have more testosterone than estrogen, and when those
levels drop during perimenopause and menopause, it affects more
than just libido. Brain fog, disrupted sleep, stubborn belly fat,
and a feeling of losing strength and vitality are common
symptoms. While men have had access to testosterone therapy for
decades, women have been left in the dark until now. 


Shalin explains the importance of testosterone for various bodily
functions, debunks myths that prevent proper treatment, and
shares the revolutionary science behind the first effective oral
testosterone therapy that aligns with the body’s natural rhythms.
