My iron levels are low. I’m probably 50lbs or more overweight, so I’m sure aromatase is wreaking havoc. I find estrogen is the strangest beast to defeat, as it’s so relative to everything else, and always so vague to identify.
I’m consuming several grams of collagen every day, and pro-hormones are illegal in my country, and I hestitate to take them even if I could.
If your iron is low, it might be helpful to check copper levels as well. Copper can affect the metabolism of iron and low copper can wreck havoc on your metabolism and moods. If your diet is primarily dairy you might be low in copper as there is hardly any in it. Low copper can also reduce white blood cells and elevate blood pressure and cholesterol. It regulates LDL and HDL. There is also a lot of zinc in dairy so it's possible to have an imbalance with zinc/copper.
I know you said you supplemented with copper but it might be helpful to check your levels or at least make sure you are getting enough in your diet.
Also, I do very well on a Peat diet but I don't use caffeine or drink orange juice. The rest really helps me. I think the idea is to follow general principles and adapt them to your personal needs. You don't have to follow everything religiously so to speak but choose what works best for you in moderation.
