I have not found much, and googling "contrarian endocrinology" even leads to RPF at 1st page.
It is used to talk about male hormones for females, and female hormones for males.
Here are the links:

I like quotes like these:
- the fact is that every hormone plays a vital balancing role in the body. Rather than be labeled as “good” or “bad”, each hormone has an optimal equilibrium level in the body with respect to the other sex hormones.
- I have found in my medical practice that giving women estrogen and progesterone and not testosterone makes it almost impossible for them to lose weight/fat.
- Birth control pills elevate estrogen and progesterone levels while drastically lowering testosterone levels. This is reason why many women experience large gains in fat as well as a decreased libido when using birth control pills.
- By taking a hormone you don’t need, you can cause the very condition you were attempting to treat.
- Natural progesterone can have a calming, relaxing effect on women, but the nasty synthetic and potent progestins can actually cause irritability.
- The stimulatory effects of estrogen on our neurotransmitter systems and other aspects of the central nervous system may be a major reason why some men get a big boost of energy and libido when their estrogen levels rise.
- It should be noted that finding the “optimal” or “normal” level of estrogen for men is extremely problematic.
- Since most men experience an increase instead of a decrease in estrogen as they get older, little attention is paid to the importance of estrogen deficiency in men. It has recently been shown that too little estrogen is linked to male osteoporosis.
- progesterone is best not considered as a female hormone, but as a hormone with properties somewhere in the middle between testosterone and estrogen.
- Progesterone has the benefit of boosting metabolism but too much can lead to high insuline levels which would likely cancel out any benefits of increased metabolism.
