Testosterone is not just a “male hormone.” It supports women’s energy, libido, mood, muscle tone, and overall vitality. Levels often decline in the 30s and 40s, influenced by stress and hormonal changes over time.
Because this happens gradually, many women simply feel “not quite themselves” even when labs appear normal.

As women age – particularly during perimenopause and beyond – testosterone levels naturally decline, often contributing to subtle but frustrating symptoms that are frequently dismissed or misunderstood.
Low testosterone in women can contribute to fatigue, low libido, reduced motivation, mood changes, and poor body composition – even when standard labs appear “normal.” At New You Medical, female TRT is prescribed in low, physiologic doses and carefully monitored to support energy, confidence, metabolic health, and overall well-being without masculinizing side effects.
At New You Medical, we offer female-focused testosterone optimization designed to restore balance safely and thoughtfully. Our approach is individualized, medically supervised, and grounded in how you feel – not just what a lab report says.
This is not about becoming someone else.
It’s about helping you feel like you again.
Isn’t testosterone a male hormone?
No. Testosterone is a human hormone, not a male-only hormone. Women naturally produce testosterone in their ovaries and adrenal glands. It plays an important role in libido, motivation, muscle tone, metabolism, mood stability, and overall vitality. As women age, testosterone levels gradually decline – often earlier and more significantly than estrogen.
What symptoms might suggest low testosterone in women?
Symptoms can be subtle and vary from person to person. Common concerns include:
These symptoms often overlap with stress, aging, or perimenopause, which is why they are frequently overlooked.
Will testosterone make me look masculine?
This is one of the most common fears – and when therapy is done correctly, it is very unlikely.
Masculinizing side effects (such as voice deepening or excessive hair growth) are typically associated with:
At New You Medical, testosterone is prescribed in low, physiologic doses, carefully adjusted and monitored to stay within a safe female range.
Is female TRT safe?
When appropriately prescribed and monitored, testosterone therapy can be safe for selected women. However, it is not appropriate for everyone.
Safety depends on:
This is why medical supervision is essential.
Is testosterone therapy FDA-approved for women?
In the U.S., there is currently no FDA-approved testosterone product specifically for women, which means therapy is prescribed off-label using carefully adjusted formulations.
This makes choosing an experienced provider especially important, as dosing and monitoring require precision.
How is female TRT different from male TRT?
Female TRT uses significantly lower doses than male therapy – often a fraction of what men receive.
The goal is restoration, not replacement:
The focus is on symptom improvement and quality of life.
How soon will I feel results?
Some women notice subtle improvements (energy, mood, mental clarity) within a few weeks. Libido and body composition changes may take longer, often several months.
Hormone optimization is not instant – it is a gradual, guided process that requires patience and adjustment.
Will testosterone therapy help with weight loss?
Testosterone is not a weight-loss medication, but it can support:
When combined with proper nutrition, stress management, and movement, it can support body composition improvements in some women.
Do I need labs before starting?
Yes. Lab evaluation is an important part of the decision-making process, but labs alone do not tell the full story.
At New You Medical, treatment decisions are based on:
What if TRT isn’t right for me?
That’s okay. Testosterone is not the answer for every woman.
If testosterone therapy is not appropriate, we explore other contributing factors and treatment options to help you feel better – because the goal is never to force a specific therapy, but to find the right solution for you.
