Guys what do you think about my cortiso numbers? Do they warrant hydrocortisone treatment? 5 -10mg/day? If I sart Hydro will I have to stay on it forever? Will it shut my adrenals down even more? Thanks guys.

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
