How is cortisol affected by exercising in the morning compared to the evening, particularly if I usually feel tired when I exercise in the morning and sleep better by 9 or 9:30 PM when I exercise from 4:30 to 5:30 PM? I'm mostly looking for insights on energy, sleep, stress, and overall mental abilities, rather than optimal muscle results.
In the Huberman Lab Podcast episode, it is mentioned that when normalized to the same units, adult women (typically) have more testosterone than they do estrogen on day 5 of the menstrual cycle, when estradiol and progesterone levels will be low. Is this the basis of the comparison to testosterone levels? Shouldn't the comparison be based on when estrogen production is at its highest, such as around day 10 - 12 in the cycle, to accurately claim that pre-menopausal women produce more testosterone than estrogen?
