Summary: 5 Stars
If you even think you may need testosterone, you need this book! It not only explains how testosterone works in the body, but gives you a guide to the kinds of tests you will need to check for hormone problems, tells you how to interpret them, and suggests the kinds of creams and pills that might help you replace your missing testosterone. It also warns you about using pills and creams that are much too high for a woman's body (a 2% cream is TOO high!), and the symptoms of testosterone that is too high or too low. The Savvy Woman's Guide to Testosterone is a practical, medically sound handbook to help you and your doctor find a good testosterone level for you, and is based on international research and Dr. Vliet's 20+ years of clinical practice.
Most women go to their ob/gyn for advice, but ob/gyns are trained to be surgeons, and most are not taught about the profound affects of testosterone on mood, bone and muscle strength, and stamina. An internist or an endocrinologist, who has been trained to check hormone levels in the blood, and to medicate in response to the patient's levels, may be a better choice for many women. Some women are being prescribed testosterone and other hormones by their psychiatrist, and finding to their delight that the hormones prescribed by their brain doctor make the rest of the body feel a whole lot better! Dr. Vliet demystifies the process of finding what YOUR body needs with easy to follow charts and lists. Hormones are much too powerful to prescribe without the right blood tests!
Finally, Dr. Vliet addresses an issue that has been mostly overlooked by most of the medical community: testosterone inhibits breast tissue proliferation. The little evidence available suggests that testosterone may be protective against breast cancer. A study from a clinic in Australia that has used testosterone in HRT for 25 years showed a protective effect against breast cancer. Women who took testosterone in addition to estrogen and progestin had the same rate of breast cancer as women who did not take hormones. One study is never enough to be sure of something, but 25 years of clinical experience is important evidence.
As with her other books, Dr. Vliet also lists a broad selection of the research studies on testosterone, both past and present. Most of these can be found on the Internet at www.pubmed.com, or at a local medical library. This is another excellent book from a passionately committed advocate of women's health.

Summary of The Savvy Woman's Guide to Testosterone: How to Revitalize Your Sexuality, Strength and Stamina
Testosterone is as natural to women as estrogen. It is not just a man's hormone. From a woman's teens until menopause, her body makes more testosterone than estrogen! Testosterone is crucial to a woman's health and well-being. Loss of testosterone can cause loss of sex drive and sexual sensation, marked fatigue, low energy, hair loss, decreased stamina, loss of height, weakness, decreased metabolism and other symptoms. Even though new testosterone therapy options for women have yet to reach the consumer market - Dr. Vliet guides you through the treatment options currently available and taches women how to successfully apply them. Much as Viagra revolutionized the treatment of erectile dysfunction in men. it's now the women's turn. This book provides reliable, cutting-edge medical information, important now to overcome stigma and negative myths about testosterone. Dr. Vliet teaches women to avoid risks of improper dosing using new treatment options with bioidentical testosterone. This book will help women learn ways to restore libido, improve muscle strength, build healthy bone, and maintain normal energy levels.Women's Health Books
