Running Report. I don’t know if it’s the hormones themselves or just my belief in them, but I have so much energy it’s unbelievable. Normally I have to drag myself to the gym.

Doctor’s Report: The results of last week’s blood tests are back, with most items decidedly normal. There were a couple hormonal anomalies, though, as expected. My DHEA levels are about half what they should be. Testosterone (yes, girls need it too!) is also a little low. My level of thyroid hormone (T3) is within the…
