This isn’t going to be nearly as crude as you’re hoping for.
…but it got you this far didn’t it?
Performance nutrition expert Dr. John Berardi, along with the help of Dr. Bryan Walsh, put out these two posts that do an awesome job explaining the cause and results of hormone imbalances in both men and women.
As a man, I found this first post (and the two videos with it) to be very enlightening. If you’re a fan of testosterone boosting supplements, this is a must watch for you.

As a man, I found this second post (and the two videos with it) to be very…I got nothin. I made it about 3 minutes into the first video and realized that the only things I’ll ever know about women is that they are all different, but equally confusing.
I still recommend you check out the link though. Maybe you’ll have better luck than I did.
