Short podcast-style clip arguing that women need testosterone (commonly associated with men) and that progesterone and testosterone are often sacrificed to make adrenaline/cortisol under stress, leaving relatively high estrogen. The speaker emphasizes stress, poor sleep, and nightly disruptions as drivers of this hormonal shift.

Women need testosterone. We always think of that as men. The first thing that goes in women is their testosterone and their progesterone. It's the first thing. And generally because you're shuttling it all over to adrenaline and cortisol and dealing with getting up in the middle of the night or no sleep or things like that. So we sacrifice our progesterone and we sacrifice our testosterone. And what's left? A ton of estrogen.
