Jen Gunter Instagram – Lots of questions about testosterone lately and I am not sure why, but because of these I wrote a very detailed post for The Vajenda last week. 

I have included several slides summarizing the Global Consensus Statement on the Use of Testosterone for Women and a summary of the British Menopause Society recommendations. If the data is there to support testosterone for many reasons outside of low libido, why can’t any menopause of endocrine society find it? I also included a slide with the organizations that signed off on the statement. 

Here is the summary from my piece. Head to The Vajenda if you want the whole piece or the references:

✅ Testosterone levels gradually decrease throughout a woman’s lifetime. There is no sharp drop around menopause. 

🤝The majority of testosterone is bound to carrier proteins, but we still don’t really understand what that means regarding testosterone’s impact on the body.

🏭Testosterone has a significant intracrinology, meaning it is also made inside cells, so testosterone levels really do not tell us the whole picture. 

✅Checking testosterone for well-being or symptoms of menopause is unhelpful and a waste of your hard-earned money. 

❓Testosterone levels don’t predict symptoms.

📊Current studies do not support the use of testosterone for ANY reason outside of treating libido. This includes muscle mass and protecting bone health.

📑Studies with primary ovarian insufficiency don’t show an added benefit from testosterone.

💪Improvement in muscle mass/strength likely only occurs when testosterone levels are much higher than normal.
Jen Gunter Instagram – I made the mistake of accidentally googling myself…

Calling out people who sell unregulated, untested pharmaceuticals (supplements with health claims, not products like prenatal vitamins or iron for iron deficiency) seems to get people mad. Like really mad. I’ve been doing this for ages (hello GOOP) and have been pretty vocal about how these people are making money hand over fist for products that are not recommended in guidelines and often have little to no (it is usually no) data to support their use. Remember, if the data were good they would be in the guidelines! Whether it is a company, celebrity, medical doctor, naturopath, chiropractor, PhD, nurse…ok you get the picture…doesn’t matter. It irks me to no end that people give their heard earned money for false promises…false promises that may also net them liver injury to boot. So why now all of a sudden people are hot about it is fascinating to me. I’ve called out numerous prenatal vitamins, the liver shield, menopause supplements, probiotics etc. I have some theories, and I’m sure I will write about it at some point. 

Thinking I’m mean, the person not making money from supplements, for pointing out the dismal research, safety issues, and overall grift is a weird flex. No one likes to be led astray. But really, shouldn’t the anger be directed at the people making tens or hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars from selling products with dismal data? 

Being appropriately confident is just that. And I’m not going to lie to you to oversell things for attention. Women’s health has too long been a pendulum where something is new and amazing or essential and pushed on everyone or it’s the opposite. I want to help women with data and, when that is absent, experience, not trends. Because that is the kind of care that I want. 

I’m not looking for anything in reply. But if you are hate following me, maybe reconsider. Life is too short for that. And please don’t go looking for the sub-Reddit. I just found the 3 buckets really fascinating, and I bet some of you will as well! 

Also, it has just spurred me on to write about more supplements! 

As you were!
