In this brief dialogue, JJ Virgin and a co‑speaker discuss how certain hormonal and sexual symptoms can signal serious health risks and suggest natural and off‑label strategies to address them. They explain that orgasmic dysfunction in both men and women is a warning sign for heart disease, and that hot flashes and night sweats originate in the brain and serve as red flags for cardiovascular disease and dementia. The conversation then shifts to natural support, highlighting Ashwagandha as a potent adaptogen that boosts testosterone in both sexes. Finally, they note that testosterone is often prescribed off‑label for women, emphasizing that the FDA does not restrict such personalized therapeutic choices.

People who are having sexual dysfunction, specifically orgasmic dysfunction, that is a signal for heart disease.
It's the same thing with women. Again, that's just not talked about because people don't talk about sex.
If you're having hot flashes and night sweats, that's coming from the brain, actually, and is, by the way, a big red flag for cardiovascular disease and dementia.
What woman isn't in a little bit of sympathetic overdrive? Right. What are some of the things that she could look at here?
Ashwagandha is amazing. It is the king of all medicines. Gives you the strength of 1,000 horses, right? Because it does increase testosterone. But it increases testosterone in women as well.
Really? And testosterone is important in women and men.
We have more testosterone when we're young than estrogen. Here's the deal. We use all sorts of medication off-label. I prescribe and use testosterone off-label as well. The FDA is not your mom.
