Hormones and Fasting

The body's hormonal response to fasting can vary significantly based on individual health and stress levels. While a robust body may experience a boost in testosterone and DHEA during fasting, those already in a depleted state may see a decline. Understanding the timing of hormone testing is crucial, as levels fluctuate throughout the day, with testosterone peaking in the morning. Additionally, the interplay between testosterone and estrogen is highlighted, emphasizing the importance of monitoring these hormones for overall health.
