Three years ago, GLP-1 peptides were barely being talked about in the midlife women’s health space.

In this second of two parts, I sit down with Victoria Felkar again to unpack the complicated, often glamorized world of androgens, testosterone therapy, and anabolic steroids for women. Are these hormones empowering tools—or ticking time bombs? How do you know the difference?

The Hormone Solution | Menopause, Perimenopause, & Women's Midlife Health

In this episode, I’m joined by the brilliant Victoria Felkar, and we go where most conversations in women’s health simply don’t: anabolic steroids. Why has this topic been so misunderstood—and even feared—by women, especially in midlife? Are we lumping very different hormones into one “scary” category without truly understanding them? Victoria shares her own jaw-dropping health story—one that led to sky-high androgens, medical confusion, and even accusations of steroid use.
