Oscar-winning actress Kate Winslet recently shared her experience with testosterone replacement therapy, a treatment she chose to boost her libido after noticing significant changes in her body. During a candid interview on the podcast ‘How To Fail with Elizabeth Day’, Winslet revealed how hormonal imbalances can play a major role in women’s sex drive, especially as they age.
Winslet explained that women, much like men, have testosterone in their bodies, but it can diminish over time. “When it runs out — like eggs — it’s gone,” she remarked, highlighting how replacing testosterone can lead to improvements in libido and overall sexual health. Her advice to women experiencing a drop in their sex drive was straightforward: don’t hesitate to explore hormonal treatments like testosterone replacement if necessary.
The actress also spoke about how aging can impact a woman’s confidence, especially in terms of body image and sexuality. Winslet emphasized that with age comes empowerment, saying that women become “juicier and sexier” as they grow older and become more rooted in their truth. This message of self-acceptance and empowerment aligns with her long-standing advocacy for body positivity. Winslet pointed out that societal conditioning often makes women feel as though they lose their sexual allure with age, but she believes the opposite is true. According to her, age brings wisdom and a deeper connection to oneself.
In addition to discussing her personal experiences, Winslet’s upcoming work includes her starring role in ‘Lee’, which premiered in the UK this September. The film has already garnered attention after its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival.
Through her honest and vulnerable reflections, Winslet continues to be a champion for women navigating the challenges of aging, urging them to embrace their bodies and their desires without fear or shame.
