Hormones Uncovered
Testosterone plays a crucial role in women's health, often overshadowed by the focus on estrogen. As women transition through perimenopause and menopause, testosterone levels drop significantly, yet many remain unaware of its importance. Conversely, men also need estrogen for overall well-being, challenging the common misconception that it should be avoided. Understanding these hormonal dynamics can empower both genders to better manage their health.In this clip

I have a question about this episode Dr. Kyle Gillett: How to Optimize Your Hormones for Health & Vitality | Huberman Lab Podcast #67 and this Testosterone in Women. In the episode Dr. Peter Attia: Exercise, Nutrition, Hormones for Vitality & Longevity | Huberman Lab Podcast #85 and the clip Hormonal Dynamics Explained, 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?
