She takes something called E3 and E2.

These are different types of estrogen, which I'm going to explain on the whiteboard or have explained on the whiteboard.

And pregnenolone.

And pregnenolone is that precursor for things like cortisol and aldosterone.

So it's really important to not just...

And teenagers are infamous for getting this, but you also start to get it later in life, adult acne and women get it especially when their estrogen is out of ratio, which is why it's so important to look at the ratio of hormones, not just the levels.

Because remember, if you're menstruating, it's perfectly normal for your estrogen to be in the 400s, it's perfectly normal for your estrogen to be in the teens.

So, depending on where you are in your cycle, luteal, follicular, ovulation.

Who's to say that 179 or 82 or 64 is high or low?

Well, you don't know, you have to know where you are in the cycle, you have to know where the other hormones are in their cycle, it's called monophasic when they're in the same cycle, it's called aphasic when they're out of cycle, because when hormones cycle together, women are fine.

When hormones cycle in the opposite ratio,

Crazy pants.

Yeah.
