Understanding Hormonal Differences
Hormonal health varies significantly between men and women, requiring different approaches to treatment and management. For men, the focus often starts with cortisol levels, as elevated cortisol can inhibit testosterone production, leading to fatigue and low energy. Testing not only total testosterone but also its variants such as free testosterone and DHEAS is crucial for developing effective treatment plans. In women, symptoms often manifest as fatigue and weight gain, commonly tied to thyroid imbalances; thus, recognizing and addressing these differences is essential in optimizing hormonal health.
