    One point of clarification - testosterone is the most abundant bioactive hormone in both men AND women. On average, men will have an order of magnitude more testosterone than women, but women still have more testosterone than they do estrogen.

      Proof of this is how estrogen in Australia is measured in pmol and testosterone measured in nmol.

    Let´s behonest.Most of us now that is unhealty to be very lean as a result of an agressive diet,but the pressure of society ( Cyclingmates, peope at work etc. ) is high.And when you get greased up like " Hey you looking lean...wow!" ,then most of us give a fuck about hormones etc! Cos that feels so good !
    You don´t have to be fast but lookin pro, counts more for a lot of us out there.I know this stupid af but that is how it is ....at least in my experience over the years.

    Interesting about the women and their cycle, the team doctor in formy college swim team had the opposite opinion. She said "It's not uncommon for a female to lose of have an irregular cycle during training." Or does this mean that basically all NCAA swim teams train too hard? And this would happen even we when we were doing single practices, forget about doubles.

    OK. Here is a good one. I have low sex drive, I have an underactive thyroid controlled by thyroxine. My testosterone tested "normal".. do you beleive that during to the thyroid I should have testosterone replacement to I crease the levels from normal more to the higher range? What's your opinion?

    Testosterone is obviously important for men and estrogen for women, but BOTH are important for ALL.
    Don’t just test one of them, BOTH tell the story much more completely, no matter your gender
