[Lotus]

Lotus! So good to see you back!

I was wondering if you knew a posible combination with Reishi that could help me with converting T into E?

I've got a blood pannel finding out I am in the limit in every type of T being a women   meaning I have high T, Free T, and DHAs lol. My Endo suspects it is PCOS but I do ovulate every single month and I do not have insulin resistance so idk how on earth could be PCOS just suffering hirsutism, but anyways xD

I am finding a way to reduce DHT and free T, so I am currently taking Red Reishi liquid extract and spearmint as well (will upgrade both slowly) but I read somewhere I do need an aromatase enzyme to make the conversion sooo   any ideas??

Hi sweetorange,

That's puzzling, PCOS is insulin driven, do share the test results when you can. As I laid out in the previous post I do believe Leptin to be the best course for stimulating aromatase. Not to be redundant, but check out this post from the genetic male forum:

 Thanks Lotus!
 Its been a long time since I've read your scientific works, but I surprised my self and actually understood it... well kinda
 Welcome back, I hope you are doing well and all your dreams are coming true.
 Looking forward to part two.
 love ya

Hi Bobbi,

thanks, I'm doing good, I hope you are doing the same, have you added new muscle to the auto collection?. I'm glad the info makes some sense. I think it's high time we find something that works for NBE for the least amount of cash, don't you?, and what better way to do that than looking inward...under the hood so to speak (meaning the human body).

So basically insulin is a hormone that stores fat...while Leptin burns fat. And by using these two hormones to make aromatase seems quite simple...eh?, well that's the plan anyways.

Part of that trick is to use up ATP...adenosine triphosphate (aka that cellular energy discussed in the previous post), meaning when a cell uses up all its energy it flips to using ketones for energy rather than glucose.

So once the body burns up all stored fat as energy then the magic begins to utilize leptin, and this happens not just in fat cells but in the brain too, yup, the brain uses leptin stored in ye old noggin. Which also means the brain releases aromatase.

But the physiological mechanisms of how the brain populates leptin-sensitive neurons is truly astonishing. I won't go down that rabbit just yet, trust me when I say that leptin stimulates the hypothalamus through the Jak-Stat signaling pathway, which i've clearly shown the linkage of this pathway for breast growth in dozens of posts.

So I'll close with this for tonight, if i told you one can take a PM supplement or E2 tablet (or injection) with an anti-androgen (reishi or finasteride...or you choose) with an exogenous-ketone supplement, and with MSM (because it stimulates the Stat5 pathway) and possibly taking L-carnitine (Acetyl-CoA [acetyl coenzyme A] is a precursor to beta hydroxy butyrate and stimulates ATP) would you believe me it will stimulate breast growth?

Lol...stayed tuned then.
