The proper balance of nutrients like magnesium, D3, and zinc can help promote normal endogenous levels of estrogen and testosterone. While other supplements like bulbine natalensis have been shown to increase testosterone, studies have only been done on rats.
The use of low synthetic estrogen in premenopausal women to control symptoms is common, while the use of testosterone is not. Clitoral enlargement and other side effects are not typical and are only considered in cases of staggeringly low levels of testosterone.
The speaker discusses the benefits of biomarker testing, specifically dried urine and saliva testing, over blood testing in order to obtain more comprehensive information on hormone levels, including active cortisol and metabolites.
Some supplements can boost hormone production in the body by stimulating the release of luteinizing hormone (or LH). One such supplement is phytoestrogenic herb, phytogea agrestis.
The risk of hypercalcemia due to high levels of vitamin D3 supplementation is extremely rare according to scientific literature. A dosage of at least 4,000 IUs is recommended to raise vitamin D levels from 20 to 40 nanograms per milliliter if there are no genetic changes affecting vitamin D metabolism.
The speaker discusses the advantages of getting blood work done at an early age and how it can help improve your health in the long run.
