TL;DR
How sex hormones interact in women across the lifespan, and why balance matters for mood, composition, and drive.
Not just estrogen
Women produce meaningful testosterone from ovaries and adrenals. Low levels can affect drive, muscle maintenance, and mood, especially around menopause.
Balance matters: too little or too much of either hormone creates distinct symptom patterns.
Life stage changes
Oral contraceptives, PCOS, perimenopause, and HRT all reshape hormone profiles. Interpretation requires context and often repeat testing.
Compounded hormone preparations, when used, are not FDA-approved drug products and require valid prescriptions.
