Toco-8, nettles.

GoodThings - According to studies, Maca does not alter hormone levels. So far research only suggests that it raises IGF-1 levels.

DHEA supplementation is only recommended if the body levels are low, such as seen in adrenal fatigue and the dosage must be correct. It would be preferable to optimize your body's production of DHEA and/or Testosterone. Adrenal fatigue could be factor if DHEA is low and if there is indication of hypotension (low blood pressure), dizziness from sitting to standing position.

However, in most cases it is the contrary, DHEA is plentiful and too much adrenal hormones of the wrong kind could be interfering with testosterone levels.

Stress hormones can dampened down potential testosterone levels, so assuming adrenal function is not inadequate, elevated cortisol can push testosterone levels down.

The answer to this is either Taking Relora or phosphatidylserine. This increases testosterone/cortisol ratio significantly.

If there is an estrogen problem that could be causing too much binding protein of testosterone. Diindolylmethane, or DIM can help free up testosterone and at the same time improve estrogen metabolism.

On the issue of of estrogen metabolism, iodine has the same effects as DIM. Therefore, Iodoral/Lugols and DIM may be redundant.

EIC, you have reference to iodine and DIM being the same in this context? would be helpful - thanks

I take both - so the interest

Throw weight lifting in there as well.

I recommend using a natural progesterone cream.

Recently, after getting estrogen sides from a PM topical trial, I found that estrogen metabolisers/inhibitors were not enough. Progesterone cream provided the difference.

Also, regarding Relora. It is effective, but hair loss is a very common side effect. Even in users that don't have MPB, on weight loss boards, you'll see every third post mentioning hair loss.
