Hormones & Performance

LH

LH is a pituitary hormone that triggers testosterone production in men and ovulation in women. It’s part of the HPG axis and works closely with FSH. In men, low LH often means stress, suppressed pituitary function, or high estrogen feedback. In women, LH surges to trigger ovulation—chronic elevation may point to PCOS, while low levels can reflect hypothalamic amenorrhea. It's a high-leverage hormone for tracking fertility, hormonal balance, and endocrine health.
