I
do not recommend this treatment due to the fact that estrogen replacement
therapy, be it conventional or «
natural» (50 %
natural and 50 % synthetic
hormones), is shown to increase risks of uterine cancer, breast cancer, stroke, heart attacks, blood clots, and even mental decline.
You're body is used to all these endogenous artificial testosterone, you know, your testosterone to estrogen ratio is getting messed up and so you
do have to use what's called post cycle
therapy when you're on pro-
hormones and we won't get into the post cycle
therapy as much on this podcast «cause I know we're kinda pushing for time but the problem is that if you don't cycle pro
hormones, it can be tough on your liver, it can be tough on your own endogenous production so it's something that you
do wan na make sure that you
do, that you understand how to cycle properly and I have to be careful of course, giving out recommendations like that on this show just because so many people who are listening to this are competing in event like triathlons and marathons and thing of that nature where they're gonna be drug tested and stuff like this would be a big no - no anyways, you know, or they're going after more
natural means and let's face it, prohormones can be kinda damaging to your body and the reason for that is because a lot of these side effects: acne and hair loss, breast tissue enlargement, or you know, what we affectionately call bitch tits in dudes, prostate swelling, you know, a lot of these hormonal imbalances that get created from dumping exogenous sources of
hormones into your body and creating like a
hormone milieu that can be a real real issue from a health standpoint.
