Yh I'm seriously considering trying some soya lol
Maybe try some chickpeas first with salt? they're not too bad and raise E quite well, in a less stressful way than Soya I find.

what makes you say that?I don't think the estrogen imitating compounds in food are absorbed by the digestive system in a significant amount.
What is well established to date is that several important sex hormone levels, although not all, undergo a gradual shift in men after age 40. T and DHEA decline with age, whereas LH, FSH, and sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) rise with age (3–9). At least one important T metabolite, dihydrotestosterone (DHT), apparently remains constant despite the decline of its precursor (9–12).
T treatment was also followed by a specific decrease of visceral fat mass (measured by CT-scan), by increased insulin sensitivity (measured with the euglycemic glucose clamp), by a decrease in fasting blood glucose, plasma cholesterol and triglycerides as well as a decrease in diastolic blood pressure. In the DHT group an increased visceral mass was detected. No other changes in these variables were found in the DHT and P groups.
Visceral fat is the classic body composition of the ageing male and I have problems with it too. Even when I did heavy dieting I would lose fat but I always carry this extra load of visceral fat on my stomach. I've tested high DHT levels for years, I never had a test show low.
When I did manage to increase my free T and bioavailable T levels after going Peat I did notice big changes in body composition, especially muscle mass and also some improvement in sexual function. So at this point, I feel somewhat doubtful about the importance of DHT and direct supplementation of DHT.
I agree. What did you do to raise your T may I ask?
Wait..so you were getting more female attention with lower Estrogen levels?A plus side to the low E is that I seem to get a lot of female attention
