Hormones and Vitality
Testosterone plays a crucial role in both men and women, impacting exercise response and overall vitality. As levels decline gradually from the twenties, many may experience changes in energy and strength, particularly those under stress. Monitoring total and free testosterone, along with DHEA and cortisol, is essential for maintaining a healthy hormonal balance and addressing issues like low libido.In this clip

In the episode Dr. Sara Gottfried: Orgasmic Meditation, Low Testosterone, Fasting For Hormones + Trauma-Autoimmune Connection and the clip Hormones Uncovered, it is mentioned that when normalized to the same units, adult women (typically) have more testosterone than they do estrogen. On average, their testosterone levels are still far lower than those of age-matched men, but nonetheless, the testosterone > estrogen reality is surprising to many people. 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?
