I have a question about this episode Dr. Peter Attia: Exercise, Nutrition, Hormones for Vitality & Longevity | Huberman Lab Podcast #85 and this Hormonal Dynamics Explained. When normalized to the same units, do adult women (typically) have more testosterone than they do estrogen? If measuring on day 5 of the menstrual cycle, will the estradiol and progesterone levels be low? Is this the basis of the comparison to testosterone levels? Should the comparison be based on when estrogen production is at its highest, such as around day 10-12 in the cycle, to accurately determine if pre-menopausal women produce more testosterone than estrogen?
