In the episode Dr. Kyle Gillett: How to Optimize Your Hormones for Health & Vitality | Huberman Lab Podcast #67 and the clip Testosterone in Women, if measuring on day 5 of the menstrual cycle, the 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?
