"Women approaching midlife are plagued with insomnia, fatigue, depression, forgetfulness, low libido, and a general sense of malaise. Yet no matter what they try, they are unable to find true (or lasting) relief. They are dismissed by doctor after doctor without a definitive diagnosis- told that their symptoms are either in their heads or just an expected part of the aging process. But Dr. Kathy Maupin knows that this isn't true. As one of the country's leading experts on hormonal balance- and as a woman who experienced these symptoms herself- Dr. Maupin has identified a debilitating and largely unknown health condition that is affecting millions of women: testosterone deficiency. In The Secret Female Hormone, Dr. Maupin and therapist Brett Newcomb bring vital information about testosterone to the general public for the first time as they share the latest research on testosterone replacement therapy for women and its effects. Speaking in clear and practical terms, they show readers how to find the right treatment plan for their individual needs." --
