We think of estrogen and testosterone as the female and male sex hormones and they may seem kind of gross (is that just Josh?), but that simple understanding is way off. A magical biochemical dance between the two creates everything from bones to moods.
Josh and Chuck dive into the fascinating world of testosterone and estrogen, exploring how these so-called "male" and "female" hormones are far more complex than we've been led to believe. They trace the history of hormone research from early 20th century experiments (involving some pretty wild animal studies) to modern medical applications, revealing how our binary understanding of these hormones has actually limited our knowledge. Along the way, they cover everything from the surprising origins of hormone replacement therapy to some unexpected historical tidbits about Hitler and British wartime plots.
