Episode Notes

In this episode, I'll be sharing why some women have high testosterone and what kind of havoc it can wreak on their system when it occurs. When it comes to testosterone levels in women, there's a lot of confusion among women, and also among health professionals.

In fact, many health professionals don't quite know what to do when a woman has elevated testosterone levels. Stay tuned as I explain why that happens by focusing on polycystic ovary syndrome and diabetes.

The kind of havoc high testosterone can wreak on the female body (03:42)
