My research focuses on improving sex-specific hormone levels to enhance overall health and mitigate risks associated with hormone therapy. This involves a detailed exploration of how precise adjustments in hormone levels can positively impact various health conditions. Additionally, I am dedicated to refining the use of sex and gender terms in research, advocating for their accurate specification as variables to ensure clarity and relevance in scientific studies.
