I’ve been on a medication for many years and didn’t realize it was depleting my testosterone and estrogen. Im a woman. Even women are supposed to have testosterone, just not as large of a amount as a man.
I was tired, irritable, moody, and had some crash outs that I’m not proud of.

After many doctors appointments, a ton of searching online, I started raising my hormones.

The difference was night and day. Looking back on my past behavior and feel mortified.

Could you give some non medication tips what worked?

What helped me is DHEA. It’s sold as a supplement. No prescription needed in most states. There’s also high estrogen foods such as Soy.

Thanks! I’m a dude but I’m reading up on DHEA right now.
