The Hormone Cascade No One Explains

Many people are surprised when I explain this:

1. Cholesterol isn’t the enemy — it’s actually the foundation of your hormones.
2. From cholesterol, your body produces progesterone, testosterone, and estrogen. That means when this pathway shifts (especially during menopause or when using testosterone therapy), your entire hormonal balance can change.
3. One important thing I often see is people taking testosterone without realizing how easily the body can convert it into estrogen — which can affect how you feel over time.
4. Hormones don’t work in isolation. They work in connected pathways.
