"It's also my understanding that increasing some areas of hormones will have a natural increasing of other areas.
== Yes, assuming your body is converting them more or less normally. You can see the adrenal cortex related ones here. NOte th at DHEA is not abbreviated.

For example if I up the testosterone (with either preg, dhea or real testosteron - since I have it on hand) and up progesterone with otc cream (affordable) then the estrogen will naturally start to increase.
Here's my incomplete plan so far
THYROID
-continue armour
-start selenium
-start zinc
-start bladderwrack
== Not famililar with bladderwrack. I tend to use herbals after seeing what I can accomplish with the vitamins, minerals, natural hormones, etc that the body uses every day.
ESTROGEN/PROGEST
-try phytoestrogen cream
-
Liver Flush for better cholesterol/estrogen help
-introduce progest cream mid cycle until night sweats are gone
== View diagram above. Is your cholesterol level okay, if not support intake and absorption of it in the gut.
== Pregnenolone is inexpensive and easy to take--maybe 10-15mg two or three x per day. I think we need Zn to convert it. Others suggest B5, Vit C.
== DHEA is inexpensive, but start with low end of dose for female after Zn is on board. look up most common side effects of taking too much of them for *your* body's situation.
== OTC prog cream may be helpful at appropriate times of the "month" for premenupausal women.
TEST / DHEA
-start with real test?
-start with dhea?
== If taking DHEA supplement I'd want to get numbers on DHEA, not just DHEA-S, maybe both one time to see how your converting it--more if requested.
== Once you change life you may want some estrogen.
== I think we need iron in Aromatase enzyme to convert testosterone to estrogen
== Hormones are powerful so we need to respect that power. It is best to work with a doctor and get followup labs.
