More estrogen can make you more insulin resistant, especially if you're a guy and then more insulin
increases aromatase, which will take your testosterone and bring it downstream to estrogen.
For example, what if spearmint tea works by
increasing the aromatase enzyme, the enzyme which creates estrogen via conversion from testosterone, and thus increases overall estrogen levels too?
Another problem with the idea of eating a calorie surplus in order to boost testosterone is the fact that you'd slowly get fat, which would
increase your aromatase enzyme activity, and therefore boost the conversion from testosterone to estrogen.

aromatase inhibitors show an
increased population of CK5 + cells — it is as if these therapies remove the roadblock of estrogen - dependent cells, leaving CK5 + cells to proliferate.

aromatase pathway to
increase estrogen production is important, because it means the chemical could work directly against

aromatase increase, thereby depleting free testosterone and
increasing estrogen levels.
Over-inhibition of 5AR results in
increased availability of testosterone, which may be shunted, via
aromatase, to estradiol, causing «feminization,» e.g., gynecomastia, one of the side effects of 5AR inhibitor drugs; and decreased production of not only 5α - DHT, but its metabolites, 5α - Androstane - 3α - 17β - diol (aka 3α - adiol, a storage form of 5α - DHT), and 5α - Androstane - 3β - 17β - diol (aka 3β - adiol), an estrogen receptor beta (ERβ) ligand that promotes normal cellular differentiation, thus lessening risk of benign prostatic hypertrophy and prostate cancer.22, 23, 24
Prescribing testosterone to this patient to alleviate his symptoms may result in
increasing his levels of estradiol if his
aromatase enzyme, which readily converts testosterone to estradiol, is overactive.
The inability to detoxify estrogen goes hand in hand with hypothyroidism, but there are other factors that can also
increase estrogen production within the tissue itself such as
aromatase activity.
When
aromatase is inhibited, it follows that estrogen is also reduced, and there is a corresponding
increase in testosterone.
Supplementing 6 - OXO leads to significant
increases in free testosterone, DHT, and also slight
increases in estradiol and estrone (presumably from the fact that
aromatase activity is not 100 % inhibited)

Estrogen is often overproduced in hypothyroidism by
increased production of
aromatase, which converts testosterone and other androgens into estrogen.

aromatase in the body to
increase *; thus leading to high estrogen levels and low testosterone levels.
High insulin or insulin resistance from blood sugar imbalance also contributes to estrogen dominance by

increased conversion to estrogen (due to
aromatase enzyme), or

Although supplements purported to
increase testosterone have been around for awhile, recently we have seen the introduction of novel new nutrients which are research proven to
