Interesting questions! I'm post-menopausal, so less estrogen, & it's harder to lose weight now than when I was younger. Would more testosterone help me lose weight? Don't know if I want to go there - I already have more facial hair than I'm happy with. My husband is at an age (82) where I'm sure his testosterone is lower than it was, but he still isn't having any problems with his weight. For some reason I know a lot of skinny old guys. 
Something is telling me that estrogen/testosterone aren't the whole story. |
