Testosterone is known as THE male hormone, yet women carry more of it than estrogen across their lifespan. In this episode, Dr. Mary Alice Mina breaks down why testosterone matters for women and how imbalances show up in skin, hair, and nails. You learn the visible signs of low and high testosterone, how aging differs from menopause-related hormone shifts, and why blood work alone misses the full picture. The episode also covers risks of pellet therapy, smarter prescribing approaches, and practical dermatology-first steps you can take while waiting for medical evaluation. This is a clear, evidence-based guide to hormone health you see in the mirror.
