As per requested by timarie I'm going to explain why she's about to add some new stuff to her program.
So basically, she's been repeatedly disappointed and while we were chatting privately I asked her about her testosterone levels, going on a hunch and wanting some confirmation.
She's not out of range, but her testosterone is at the high end...
Which was what I'd expected.
So my suggestion to her was that she try low dose chinese skullcap and spearmint at 400 mg three times daily each.
As I've explained before chinese skullcap targets the production of testosterone and spearmint targets the receptor binding.
The reason I did not and do not suggest saw palmetto for things like this is because saw palmetto's primary effect is blocking dihydrotestosterone production, which is a very exceptionally rare problem for women, basically only those suffering PCOS really can benefit. Men there's more men who can benefit, but not nearly as much as many seem to think.
This SHOULDN'T really impact her results with her weight training, if I thought it'd cause problems I wouldn't have had her post a program for me to start doing just that in my own thread.
