Everybody knows most people gain weight after quitting smoking and balloon and bloat up, ive experienced this myself and seen it,
Does anybody know why this is? to me it seems like tobacco decreases estrogen acutely and in the short term use, but in the long run it leads to the accumulation of endocrine disruptors which then require more aromatase inhibition to counter ie (Why people smoke more and more over time)
When i quit i felt disgusting and still do feel extremely bloated 2 years later and just not the same, and i developed a stubborn layer of fat where a shredded 6 pack was that just seems to stick around no matter how much exercise i do.
Anybody else experience this?
I also was experimenting with progesterone dhea and androsterone at the same time i was using tobacco,
My experience as a man was progesterone seemed to cause very much similar symptoms of PFS that people describe, i even wonder if it wasn't the tobacco but the progesterone because it felt like progesterone really for a time stripped me of my masculine appearance and energy, although i could be wrong,
Just curious to know anyone's experiences with this,
I know heavy smokers are known to have higher levels of cadmium and lead in their blood, if anyone has anything to add to the smoking cessation estrogen hypothyroid cascade feel free to add, its very difficult to find useful research about this on the internet because all these studies think thyroid works perfectly as long as you supplement iodine smh XD
