What to watch with Hormoncheck Frauen and Sport?

MyBody-X's Hormoncheck Frauen measures hormones like estradiol, progesterone, testosterone, and cortisol from a blood sample. When combined with sports, watch out: acute exercise transiently alters cortisol and testosterone – a single snapshot does not reflect your resting or average level. The menstrual cycle also strongly influences hormone values; tests without cycle timing are hard to interpret. The check may indicate if cortisol is elevated at night or testosterone is unusually low, which could relate to overtraining or poor recovery. However, it is a snapshot, not a diagnosis. For athletic optimization (e.g., ideal training load), a single test is insufficient – serial measurements and clinical context are required. Evidence: practice-based, no strong clinical trial for this specific use. Caveat: Do not start supplementation based solely on this test.
