* bobie asked if I wouldn't mind talking about ways to improve Hrt, soooo, I've got a few cliff notes I've collected over the past few years I could share. I'll be honest though, I'm not seeing (IMO) why taking herbal supplements with pharma meds represents sins against nature, (unless you don't follow the recommended guidelines or interactions), and that information (for the most part) is on a product website, and comes with the medication, (interactions).
For instance: you take vitamins and minerals normally while on HrT right?, I'm suggesting supplements that benefit both breast growth and redistribution of fat.
Fact: some essential fatty acids block DHT, help protect against breast cancer, reduce free radicals and inflammatory response.
Now what I've seen two things happen from Estradoil and DHT, they both have something to do with FAT stores. Estrogen creates visceral fat and big butts lol, DHT burns fat but is also present in visceral fat. Testosterone helps to burn visceral fat too.
Prolactin- stores fat in the breast, IMO (prolactin) creates IGT (insufficient growth tissue) in higher concentrations, also increases areaola growth-aka puffy nipples. SSRI, lowers dopamine which creates more prolactin and progects puffy nipples, but you also need progesterone which mediates the growth of alveoli (milk making glands, more on that later). Stimulate those nipples people, that helps increase prolactin.
But, what makes a program better?, (imo, knowledge),...for NBE & HRT it's some new and old things: It's hard to hear someone say "here, take these and we'll see you in a few years (estimates from medical experts on how long hrt takes). But...in 6-12 months people get impatient, hell......sooner than that right?.
Peptide Hormones
IGF-1 (insulin like growth factors)
Small and large molecules (kinda ties into peptides)
PGE 1 & 2
Carrier proteins
Timing of medications (that's a big one)
Inflammation (another big one)
Cortisol
Hydration (biggie)
Fast E metabolism
DIM = anti-DHT (newer one)
Having ample protection against breast cancer causing agents, along with reducing the risk factors or mediators of DVT, ocular changes, increased bleeding risks with certain medications, (interactions).
Well shoot............it's more than I care to list, (you get the point).
Btw, my opinion is my own, I'm not an expert, this info doesn't represent medical advice, just what I've come to understand. Statistically speaking a large percentage (I've seen it somewhere, I'll find it) states that before TG's seek medical care for transition they find (use) DIY methods. So, do your homework, speak to someone (professionally). On the other hand, NBE is self medicating too, so let's spare the hypocritical viewpoints please.
This thread is about using techniques to improve hrt, talk about drug therapy, therapeutic levels, etc.
