Why does it take 3 months to see the impact?

Hormones work in cycles, not overnight switches. It takes time for hormone signaling, receptor sensitivity, and brain-adrenal feedback loops to recalibrate. Over roughly 90 days, cells turn over, gene expression shifts, and daily hormone rhythms - like cortisol’s natural rise and fall - can stabilize. This is why most hormone protocols use a 90-100 day window: it reflects real, lasting physiological change rather than short-term fluctuation.
