Dry skin isn’t nontelated to the sexual system. Androgen receptors in fibroblasts produce collagen and and hylauronic acid among other things which build your skin and moisture barrier. Digestion is also related to testosterone and even your shits will smell different depending on hormones and androgen action… many of those things you said actually ARE related to androgen receptors…
I understand 5ar does a lot but I think it’s all connected to the androgen system.
I know all about autophagy and have fasted for weeks on end it doesn’t do shit.
I know I’m somplyiifying things but I think my method of classifying anti androgens and pro androgens is a good start. Say what you want but I do believe the reason fasting and strict diet in combination with weightlifting is because fasting and keto diet are anti androgens that are influencing the damaged 5-ar system and somehow temporarily undoing the effects of PFS, while the weightlifting is pro androgen and doing so while the PFS effects are temporarily allieviated can cause neuroplasty in cells.
I’m also doing well but instead of fasting and diet I’m doing St. John’s wort, potent antiandrogen herb. Sometimes it make my balls hurt but after 5-8 hours of dosing my PFS gets alleviated and when I lift with Creatine the prohormone action makes me even better… I bet doing this for months could lead to neuroplasty in cells or something and recover.
Cold showers are anti androgenic, when at a cold beach your penis goes flaccid and you don’t have libido, fasting for long periods of time and keto diet are also anti androgens, stressful things like that are anti androgenic, yes they have other actions which are healthy but I think the reason they can alleviate PFS is because they’re anti androgenic
I’m not arguing I’m glad we’re debating and People could be learning from our discussion but I don’t think it was the healing enzymes or autophagy that healed you, it was the balance of anti androgen and pro androgen activity.
