In the context of a nearly complete hormone replacement strategy that I'm following - is supplementing progesterone/pregnenolone/DHEA in any way beneficial compared to pregnenolone alone?
I experienced a tremendous increase in my subjective well-being when supplementing ~500mg/day of pregnenolone (mostly better sleep and higher resistance to stressors). In my hormone replacement strategy, I aim for slightly supraphysiological levels of the beneficial hormones (DHT, progesterone, pregnenolone). Similarly, I'm trying to lower the potentially problematic hormones (estrogen, cortisol, serotonin, prolactin, histamine, TSH, PTH). I would like to have progesterone above normal levels (for a male). I am lowering the possible DHEA to estrogen conversion with Aromasin. Since doing so more strictly/controlled in the last 1 year, my subjective physical and psychological well-being are better than ever at an age >45y. However, I have to say that I have never had any physical or psychiatric issues (therefore, I wrote "subjective well-being", I may do well without all of this). I am following this strategy mainly for esthetic reasons and to increase the consistency of my work performance (usually ~10-12h/day without breaks on weekends and in a high-stress environment).
What do you think?
