Testosterone Therapy for Women
Reclaim Energy. Restore Desire. Revitalize Well-Being.
At W.I.S.H. Health, we honor the beautifully complex nature of women’s bodies—and recognize that hormones are just one piece of the wellness puzzle. As an integrative and holistic telehealth clinic focused on women’s health, we take the time to listen, assess the full picture, and offer personalized, compassionate care.
Testosterone, often misunderstood as a “male” hormone, plays a vital role in a woman’s energy, desire, confidence, and overall vitality. For women navigating perimenopause, menopause, or feeling depleted from stress and life transitions, restoring optimal testosterone levels can be a powerful part of healing and renewal.
"I feel like myself again."
That’s one of the most common things we hear from women after starting testosterone therapy.
Why Testosterone Matters in Women's Health
Though it’s produced in smaller amounts than in men, testosterone is essential for women’s well-being. This hormone supports:
Sexual desire and satisfaction
Lean muscle mass and bone strength
Metabolism and energy production
Cognitive clarity and mental sharpness
Emotional resilience and mood stability
As women age, testosterone levels gradually decline—often beginning in the early 30s and continuing through midlife. This decline can be subtle or significant, but the effects are often the same: feeling off, disconnected, or unlike yourself.
Even if your labs are "within normal range," you may still experience symptoms of testosterone deficiency. At W.I.S.H. Health, we believe your symptoms matter just as much as the numbers.
Whole-Body Benefits of Testosterone Therapy
When thoughtfully prescribed and monitored, testosterone therapy may help support:
Renewed libido and enhanced intimacy
Increased motivation and faster workout recovery
Clearer thinking and reduced brain fog
Improved ability to maintain muscle and manage weight
Stronger bones and healthier joints
A greater sense of confidence and emotional well-being
This isn’t about becoming someone else.
It’s about returning to the best version of you.
What the Research Shows
Although testosterone therapy is not currently FDA-approved for use in women, a growing body of high-quality research supports its safety and effectiveness when prescribed responsibly and at appropriate doses.
A Global Consensus Position Statement published in The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism (2019) concluded that testosterone therapy is effective and safe for postmenopausal women with low sexual desire, when administered within physiologic ranges.
A Cochrane Review—one of the most respected sources in evidence-based medicine—found that women treated with testosterone experienced significant improvements in sexual satisfaction, orgasm, and desire, with few side effects when appropriately managed.
Additional studies have shown that testosterone can also positively influence mood, energy, and cognitive function, particularly in women navigating menopause or experiencing hypoactive sexual desire disorder (HSDD).
At W.I.S.H., we stay current on the latest research and guidelines so that your care is not only supportive—but also grounded in clinical science.

Important to Know
Testosterone therapy for women is considered off-label but is widely used and supported by clinical research and expert guidelines.
As a Schedule III controlled substance, testosterone requires careful prescribing, lab monitoring, and regular follow-up.
Availability varies by state, depending on telehealth prescribing laws—but we’ll help you understand your options and guide you every step of the way.
Is Testosterone Right for You?
You may benefit from an evaluation if you're experiencing:
Persistent fatigue or lack of motivation
Decreased libido or sexual satisfaction
Difficulty building or maintaining muscle
Brain fog, mood changes, or emotional instability
Weight gain or slowed metabolism
A general feeling of “not being yourself,” even if labs are “normal”
If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone.
And more importantly—you don’t have to feel this way.
