I concur with the opinions expressed here; I can back it with the necessary science. For an older woman, this is extremely ill-advised, as it will cause horrific shifts in hormone regulation in brain, thyroid, thymus, and adrenals.
AAS use for women as a body composition remodeling strategy is not advised for women at all; it actively promotes hyperplasia in steroid responsive tissues (not the ones you want altered) and liver dysfunction. In women, that also translates to seriously enhanced risk of cardiovascular disease, ovarian follicular activation, uterine thickening and overgrowth, and serious changes in brain functions, including risk-taking and aggression behaviors.
I would also be very, very cautious of use of the hardcore hormone lipolytics and thyroid enhancers. They too have potent feedback effects on sex steroid action, liver and immune system health.
Lets put it this way, so you fully understand: as you age, risk is all about the failure of repair and control processes, from the top, at gene expression, down to cellular membrane repairs and nucleus division for cell turnover, and activation of blank cells for tissue repair in bone marrow.
You screw with the regulation of these processes, you increase your risk of tumors and disease --to the risk of someone much older. In your stem cell reservoir, you have only so many blank cells, thats it. Once you activate and use them with steroids, they're not there when you need them later in life.
You see folks who live into their late 70s and 80s with these cancers, stroke, heart enlargement, liver and vascular damage. Upping the risk ante and shortening your life through this adopted risk behavior is most ill-advised.
