Hello everyone,
this is my first post, but I already read a lot in this very interesting forum.
I am a 31 years old male from Germany following a peat inspired diet, but still have some health issues.
Low energy, tiredness, low motivation and low libido are the main problems.
I recently did some Saliva hormone tests which indicate
- relatively low testosterone
- very low progesterone
- Estradiol & estriol in the normal low range
- high cortisol in the morning
- very (too) low cortisol in the afternoon and evening
- low DHEA-S
found a doctor which is very open minded to work with natural hormones.
He thinks my main problems are the adrenals, because of the low cortisol and dhea.
I already started to take 1 grain NDT, Preg 12,5 mg daily and DHEA 10-15mg daily (all oral), which feels good.
The doctor subscribed me a cream with 5mg cortisol and 5mg dhea to support my adrenals. Which I don't know if I should use, because of the bad opinion Peat and everyone here has on cortisol.
the second thing he will subscribe me is a cream with 1% testosterone and 0,5% progesterone.
My main questions are:
1.) will the testo creme shut down my own production? or is this dose (1g of the cream) okay? I read somewhere that Peat says about 5mg testosterone per day is safe?
2.) should I try to use the cortisol/dhea cream or is more cortisol always bad?
3.) anybody experienced that snoring improved with progesterone supplementing?
thank you in advance :)
