Let me explain the reason: Ray Peat seems anti-estrogen but you need estrogen to maintain bone mass. I'm getting the impression that eating like Ray Peat over time will make your estrogen levels lower than average. This is good but the only side effect I'm worried about is lowered bone mass - for example, women whos estrogen lowers with age get osteoporosis more so than average women under 20 who have higher estrogen.
Bottom line: If you lower estrogen below normal/ideal levels you risk bone loss over time. Eating K2/D3/Calcium (that increase bone mass) will not 'stop' it entirely - estrogen is very powerful and I'd rather not lower it.
Are there any real health side effects to keeping estrogen normal or slightly high? And are there any foods that can achieve normal-high estrogen levels?
