Hormonal Phases Explained
As testosterone levels rise, women experience increased energy and libido, peaking just before ovulation.

In the Huberman Lab Podcast episode Dr. Kyle Gillett: How to Optimize Your Hormones for Health & Vitality | Huberman Lab Podcast #67 and the clip Testosterone in Women, it is mentioned that when normalized to the same units, adult women (typically) have more testosterone than they do estrogen on day 5 of the menstrual cycle, when 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?
