Estrogen, Progesterone and Testosterone
What changes, in what order, and what helps. The sequence most women are never told, and what I check before any hormone is started.
What's inside
- Why progesterone usually falls first and what that does to sleep and mood
- Estrogen: fluctuation before decline, and what the 2022 position statement and the FDA label change mean for you
- Testosterone in women: what the global consensus does and does not support
- The labs and history I review before starting any hormone, plus questions for your prescriber
