Today on The Friends You Keep 🤍

We’re joined by Dr. Amber Hull—a US Board Certified physician and BC licensed practitioner, Menopause Society Certified Practitioner (MSCP), and an active member of the International Society for the Study of Women’s Sexual Health.

In this episode, we dive into testosterone and women’s health—a topic that’s often overlooked, misunderstood, and rarely talked about properly.

Dr. Hull brings an evidence-based, integrative approach to the conversation, breaking down how hormones impact everything from energy and mood to libido, muscle, and overall quality of life. We also explore the real transitions women experience—from puberty to postpartum to perimenopause—and how to better support our bodies through each stage.

This is one of those conversations that challenges what you thought you knew—and gives you real, practical insight you can actually use.
