Women Need More Testosterone

Testosterone isn't just for men! We look at the effects testosterone has on everything from thyroid function, sexual dysfunction, and basic joy in life. We cover proper testing as well as the therapies, lifestyle changes, and supplements that can help boost low levels in women. Next, Dante examines the popular paleo diet and research that looks at the effects evolution, ecology, and economy has on the human diet. Put simply: paleo isn't really paleo! So what did our ancestors actually eat? We love questions!
