## Resource

Episode Summary: Ever wondered how your body really makes hormones—and what happens when you add more? In this eye-opening episode, we unpack the difference between natural (endogenous) and supplemental (exogenous) hormones, how they affect men and women differently, and what HRT means for fertility, menstrual cycles, and long-term vitality. We’re breaking down the science and the stigma. Key Stats & Credible References: Up to 40% of men over 45 have low testosterone (The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism) Female HRT can regulate or pause menstrual cycles depending on the type and dose of therapy (ACOG) HRT doesn’t automatically cause infertility—but it can suppress fertility while on therapy Get in touch: Linktree: https://t.mtrbio.com/steel-city-hrt-and-weight-loss Website: https://steelcity-trt.com/ Facebook: www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61556820675433 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/steel_city_hrt/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/105480676/admin/dashboard/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Steel_City_HRT TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@steel_city_hrt Pintrest: https://www.pinterest.com/SteelCityHRT
