from Lose Weight + Build Muscle After 35: The Body Recomposition Podcast · host RAC Fitness - Robyn Creary

Low Testosterone in Women: Does It Affect Muscle, Fat Loss and Body Composition After 35?Does low testosterone make it harder for women to build muscle, lose fat, or change body composition after 35? And what actually happens to testosterone during perimenopause and menopause?Day 60 of the Body Recomposition Revolution is Testosterone 101 for women. We’re breaking down low testosterone in women, muscle loss, fat loss, metabolism, strength, recovery, total vs. free testosterone, SHBG, and testosterone levels after 35.The big takeaway: testosterone matters, but low testosterone does not automatically cause weight gain or prevent fat loss.And if you’re wondering, “What is the optimal testosterone level for women?” There is no scientifically established perfect testosterone number for building muscle or losing fat. Testing in women is nuanced, and a single number doesn’t tell the whole story.💪 Ready to recomp?
