Hormones originate in the brain. These are chemicals. Sex hormones include cholesterol.
That's right. Cholesterol is a sex hormone and it, too, has an important function. Most people don't know this. Now you do.
The brain is one of my favorite subjects and I enjoy teaching all there is to know in simple laymen terms because most people are not medical professionals and guess what? Even some of the medical and mental health professionals don't understand how this all works.
I have one of those geeky brains. I Love covering this area for two reasons.
The first has to do with waking people up to the realization that hormones originate from our brains and determine our sex development and once we hit puberty , our secondary sex characteristics.
