How To Inhibit Aromatase Without Inhibiting 5 Alpha Reductase

[1kT]

There are a lot of foods and compounds that inhibit aromatase and lower estrogen, but the thing I noticed is a lot of the foods and compounds that inhibit aromatase inhibit 5 alpha reductase as well.

With this inhibition of both enzymes required for testosterone conversion you're left with more total testosterone that's not converting into estrogen or DHT. Once that inhibition from the foods and compounds goes away then testosterone starts converting again into estrogen and DHT.

Doesn't this just take you back where you were BEFORE you inhibited both enzymes via food and compounds?

Now what I'm researching is foods and compounds that inhibit aromatase WITHOUT inhibiting 5 alpha as well. That way you can convert more into DHT while aromatase is inhibited.

Foods generally, as well as phytoestrogens can have pro-estrogen or anti-estrogen effect depending on current hormonal status, the total amount consumed, if the person is male or female...etc. A weak estrogenic compound can act as a anti-estrogen displacing more powerful estrogens.

ie: lentils.

What are some foods and compounds that act as weak estrogens and increase DHT?

Coffee,

Chronic caffeine ingestion increases T and DHT levels

Phytoestrogen content of beverages, nuts, seeds, and oils. - PubMed - NCBI

"Tea and coffee contained up to 20 microg/100 g phytoestrogens and beer (except bitter) contained up to 71 microg/100 g, mainly lignans"

Any idea what supplements can do this?

Looks like the site owner is taking from the Ray Peat forum and making a website with the information.
Pseudo alpha male website imo.

Yeah! It was written today... What a timely coincidence

OP, if you wanted to share your blog with us you could have just told us.

Oh, I thought you were trying to act like you just found that blog and it wasn't yours, haha.
