Here's what you can try,
With PCOS and Hirsutism the treatment is about the same, we need to focus on SHBG though. And I'll also lay that out tomorrow too, I just ran out of time tonight to cover it.
- Increase vitamin D3 to a minimum of 5,000iu's per day
- Don't eat processed foods, get more protein into your daily diet
- Increase your progesterone, if it's a cream 20mg to 40mg. I take oral micronized progesterone daily, prescribed by my hrt doctor…if you can get your doctor to write it for you I'd suggest you try it.
- Reduce stress/cortisol, high cortisol can spike testosterone
- Check on your thyroid, low thyroid can impact hirsutism
- Add B12
- Add Green Tea w/EGCG @ 45%...and I will explain the importance of adding GTE tomorrow
Hi Lotus, thanks so much for this! All noted!
SHBG is a topic that I've always been unsure of in regards to breast growth so any insight there would be appreciated along with the GTE info. I was never sure if GTE alone would be enough as the only anti-androgen in a program, or any other NBE effects it may have.
