If you actually convert them to the same units, she has much more testosterone in her body than estrogen.
The evidence is convergent. Multiple independent sources reach the same conclusion, the underlying mechanism is well-characterized, and even the field's most cautious voices treat it as worth doing.

a free testosterone firm a woman for in a woman might be one nanogram per deciliter whereas in a man the fiftieth percentile would be about fourteen nanograms per deciliter so called fourteen fifteen times higher it is still a very dominant hormone even relative to estrogen
if you actually convert them to the same units she has much more testosterone in her body than estrogen interesting yeah I did not know that yeah then again I've never been a woman getting my hormone profile yeah yeah so even though a woman's testosterone is much less than a men uh than a man's level um it's still more than she has estrogen in her body wow so phenotypically right estrogen is the hormone that's dominating and test so it's the you know she has much higher estrogen than a man and much lower testosterone than a man but in absolute amounts she has more testosterone than estrogen just worth pointing that out
your testosterone right now is at least 10 times higher than your estrogen level wow in absolute quantities and by the way that's the highest that's if you're ovulating so your Peak estrogen is around ovulation if I take you in the early follicular cycle or in the ludal cycle your testosterone could be a 100 times higher than your testosterone so it's very important to understand don't get confused by the units on the lab test because they're reporting them in nanograms per deiler versus picograms per milliliter and so the estrogen number looks bigger but in terms of absolute amounts of it testosterone is still the uh by far the most dominant hormone for both men and women
