Testosterone Therapy: Benefits for Men and Women

If you’ve been feeling tired, unmotivated, not as strong as you used to be, or like your sex drive has completely disappeared… you’re not alone. A lot of people blame it on “getting older” or being stressed, but sometimes there’s something else going on behind the scenes: your hormones.

At Moi Health and Wellness, we talk with patients every day who say things like:

• “I don’t feel like myself anymore.”

• “I’m doing all the right things, but my energy is still low.”

• “My mood is off and I don’t know why.”

• “My libido is basically gone.”

  
  

One hormone that often comes up in these conversations is testosterone and yes, it matters for both men and women.

First What is Testosterone Therapy?

Testosterone is a hormone your body naturally makes. It plays a role in things like energy, muscle, mood, metabolism, and sexual wellness.

Testosterone therapy is a medical option that may help when someone has symptoms plus lab results showing testosterone is low or not optimal. It’s not about turning you into a different person; it's about helping you feel like you again, safely and responsibly.

And the keyword here is safely. Hormones aren’t something you want to guess on. The right plan includes the right dose, regular check-ins, and follow-up lab work.

Benefits of Testosterone Therapy for Men (5 Common Ways It May Help)

When men have low testosterone, it can show up in ways that are easy to ignore at first until it starts affecting daily life.

Here are five potential benefits men often look for with testosterone therapy:

1) Stronger sex drive

Low testosterone can lower libido. Restoring levels may help bring that desire back.

2) More energy you can actually feel

Not just “I drank more coffee” energy—more like: getting through your day without feeling drained or foggy.

3) Better strength and muscle support

When testosterone is low, it can be harder to build and maintain muscle even if you’re working out. Therapy may support lean muscle when paired with training and nutrition.

4) Support for bone health

Testosterone plays a role in bone density, which matters more with age.

5) Better mood + mental clarity

Some men describe low T as feeling irritable, down, or mentally “slow.” When levels are optimized, many report feeling more stable and clear-headed.

Benefits of Testosterone Therapy for Women (5 Ways It May Help)

This surprises a lot of people: women also produce testosterone, just in smaller amounts. And when it’s too low, some women feel it especially when it comes to sexual wellness and vitality.

A quick and honest note: the most supported use of testosterone therapy for women is for postmenopausal women with low sexual desire that causes distress. That’s why it’s so important to work with a provider who actually evaluates you fully and doesn’t push a one-size-fits-all plan.

When appropriate, here are five potential benefits women may experience:

1) Increased sexual desire

This is the most common reason women ask about testosterone therapy—because low desire can feel confusing, frustrating, and isolating.

2) Improved arousal and responsiveness

Some women report feeling more “in the moment” and physically responsive again.

3) Better sexual satisfaction

Not just desire, but overall satisfaction and enjoyment can improve for some women.

4) Improved orgasm quality or frequency

For the right candidate, testosterone therapy may help support stronger sexual response.

5) More vitality (for some women)

Some women notice they feel more energized, motivated, or like they have more “spark” but we always look at other factors too (thyroid, iron, stress, sleep, etc.) because those matter just as much.

How Do You Know If Testosterone Might Be the Issue?

Symptoms can overlap with a lot of things (stress, burnout, thyroid issues, low iron, poor sleep), which is why guessing usually leads nowhere.

But these are common symptoms people bring up:

Men may notice:

• Low libido

• Fatigue

• Low motivation

• Reduced strength

• Brain fog or mood changes

  
  

Women may notice:

• Low desire that feels persistent or upsetting

• Low energy

• Less sexual satisfaction

• Feeling “flat” or less like themselves
