Your current hormonal profile can affect your face, fat distrbution, mood, drive, health and libido.
Your face shape is the result of prenatal exposure to hormones tho so you can't change that.
There are benefits tho to an ideal hormonal profile
IDEAL HORMONES FOR MEN:
Estradiol: 20-30 pg/ml
Lower than 10pg/ml or higher than 40pg/ml raises mortality in men.
Total Testosterone: 800-1200ng/dl
Makes you more competitive, driven, strong etc.
Having a robust 30-40 testosterone to estradiol ratio is ideal:
Infertility treatment prognosis:
Role of testosterone/estradiol ratio in predicting the efficacy of tamoxifen citrate treatment in idiopathic oligoasthenoteratozoospermic men
Prediction of low libido and ED:
Calculated Free T and T:E Ratio but not Total Testosterone and Estradiol Predict Low Libido
Atherosclerosis development:
Synergistic Effect of a Physiological Ratio of Estradiol and Testosterone in the Treatment of Early-stage Atherosclerosis
Development of ameliorate depressive symptoms:
Neuroprotective effect of a physiological ratio of testosterone and estradiol on corticosterone-induced apoptosis in PC12 cells via Traf6/TAK1 pathway
Male coronary heart disease development:
Imbalance of testosterone/estradiol promotes male CHD development.
Free testosterone: 20-25ng/dl
testosterone is mainly bound to SHBG.
high or low SHBG affects free test levels
you can have high total testosterone but low free test and experience none of testosterone's benefits
SHBG: 25-40 nmol/L
SHBG is made in the liver in response to levels of many hormones:
1. Increasing Testosterone reduces SHBG
2. Increasing DHT lowers SHBG
3. Increasing DHEA lowers SHBG
4. Increasing Growth Hormone lowers SHBG
5. Increasing Insulin lowers SHBG
6. Increasing Estrogen increases SHBG
7. Increasing Thyroid Hormone increases SHBG
Prolactin: 9-15
keep it low
overdose vitamin e:
"Now, on to the topic of suppressing prolactin; in this study, 300 mg’s of vitamin E for 8 weeks, decreased prolactin levels by a staggering 69% when compared to placebo in healthy human subjects."
ashwagandha:
"Furthermore, the same human study also found out that Ashwagandha lowered prolactin levels by a nice 15%."
DHEA: >300μg/dl
To increase DHEA naturally:
Eat good fats with plenty of omega 3 fatty acids.
Sleep well
Lower stress:high insulin and cortisol suppress DHEA
Don't eat sugar
If not optimal you can supplement with DHEA capsules
Cortisol:
just take 5g/day ashwagandha
-HOW TO HORMONE MAX WITHOUT STEROIDS:
1)Exercise and lift weights(focus on upper body):
Cut down to 10-12% bodyfat and do lean bulks and small cuts to imporv your physique.
Too low bf percentage lowers test so don't get too lean. On the other hand, being fat raises your E levels.
Do high-intensity interval training (HIIT) for legs.
Don't overtrain. Avoid large caloric deficits.
2)Eat balanced diet high in protein, medium carbs and fats.
Eat animal proteins, less sugar, more fiber and healthy fats.
Get enough zinc(10-16mg).
You shouldn't need to supplement vitamins and minerals if your diet is proper.
Avoid excess alcohol
3)Get higher quality sleep
4)Have a healthy sex life(LAWL)
5)Bully incels, win competitions, become higher status
6)High exposure to estrogen-like chemicals may also affect your levels, so try to minimize daily exposure to BPA, parabens and other chemicals found in some types of plastic
7) Get enough sun exposure
8)Supplements:
-100mg DHEA capsules(boosts T and E in low T men probably: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16487434 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16487434)
-3g ginger extract/day(reduces inflammation in humans:https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16117603)
-300-500mg vitamin e/day ( more hair with 100mg tocotrienols: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3819075/#!po=1.21951 , lowers prolactin: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1490755 , 487 mg a-tocopherol in humans
)
-5g ashwagandha/day (lowers cortisol and prolactin, raises metabolism, increases test,ITS DANGERS SHOULDN'T BE OVERLOOKED http://www.mensahmedical.com/ashwagandha-dangers/, dont take if you have hyperthyroidism, careful if prone to hairloss)
-chrysin(natural) or arimadex (aromatase inhibitors)
-BLOOD TESTS
