Testosterone vs Estrogen: Which Hormones Regulate & Increase Female Libido? A Deep Dive

Is there such a thing as a "female low libido hormone," or "female low libido hormones?" There is SO much controversy surrounding which hormone—estrogen or testosterone—is primarily responsible for regulating & increasing female sex drive. I want to tell the story of the controversy & present the research for you in this video; however, more than anything, I want women, & people with female anatomy, to understand what science thinks it knows about their bodies so that they can make informed opinions & decisions about their sexual health. I hope this video brings you one step closer to that understanding 🧡 😸 Check meowt on instagram:   / pelvicempowerment   Timestamps: A HUGE thank you to doctors Maurand Cappelletti & Kim Wallen.
