Testosterone for Women

Women and Their Sex Drive

Posted on by
I can not tell you how many women in their late 30’s and older come to me saying “If I never had sex again I would be fine with it. But I know how important it is to my husband so I just deal with it.” They have never been told by a doctor how hormones affect their sex drives similar to men. Women make testosterone just like men do, just in smaller amounts. And when women are 18 their levels in the blood are typically 80-120 and they feel and look great. By the age of 40 most of

Treating Surgical Menopause: Dr. Sean Breen Explains

Posted on by
Thousands of women have their uterus and ovaries removed every year and immediately get forced into menopause. Their estradiol, progesterone and testosterone levels bottom out and they become very symptomatic. Unfortunately, many of their doctors do not explain the impending feeling of being miserable.

Do Prescription Drugs Deplete Your Body of Nutrients? Dr. Sean Breen Explains

Posted on by
Many times doctors prescribe drugs without thinking about the consequences of how they can deplete the body of valuable nutrients. Ironically, many of the same side effects listed on the package insert of the drug mimic the same signs and symptoms of the nutrient deficiency. It is amazing how little training doctors receive in drug-induced nutrient depletions. IN this post I am going to go over some of the most common drugs and what nutrients they deplete.  Oral contraceptives (birth control pill) deplete the body of B1, B2, B3, B6, B12, Folic Acid, Calcium, Magnesium, tyrosine, selenium and zinc. Anti-diabetic
