when estrogen receptors are activated do they become part of your tissue/fat? meaning when u draw labs it’s not picked up cuz it’s not free floating rather already binded to your receptors.
and if such is the case…the only way to rid these binding estrogen receptors is to shed the fat?
sorry rockin…didn’t u recover??..or it’s a my mistake?
in many ways yes…however i still i have a low libido as my T levels are below the mid range.
i believe that there is still a lingering effect of tea tree oil in my fat tissue that is preventing T to bind to my androgen receptors and preventing my HPTA to sense the low T in my system (lh is still low while fsh is above mid range).
Read this link regarding Endocrine Disruptor…which tea tree oil is one. i will also post in a different section…
This cant be so. cause you use up your hormones wich is why you produce more… If it would be so, then why would your body continue to produce hormones. Then you would only have to produce sufficent hormones one time and then they would just stay attached and all would be dandy?
However fat converts steroids to estrogen, maybe thats what you are thinking about? So too much fat will create more estrogen.
I doubt liposuction would unsupress your hpta axis if thats what your thinking 
?
No bloodtests will reveal how much of each steriod are attached to receptors, they are just measurments of hormones in the blood (free or bound) with potential to lock at receptors. Lets say they were not locking on to receptors properly, then your body would sence this and produce lots more of it. Also known as androgen resistance in case of T or Dht. This is my understanding anyways…
nice reply troubledfinuser.
i wasn’t considering lipo though…just extreme measures to burn my stubborn belly fat which is still with me.
yes, i know my androgen receptors are not occupied anymore by the tea tree oil and thus blocking any testosterone…at least i think so because when I did my HCG stim test and saw my T rise over 400% (from low to mid range) i was able to feel the benefits of it as well (definate increase in libido and sense of well being).
anyway, i am going to start using all natural soaps and other cosmetic products that contain zero endocrine disrupting chemicals and hope that helps get my htpa back on track…
thanks
when cell receptors are bound with estrogen they can still inhibit the hpta from sensing low T. it doesn’t necessarily have to be unbound floating in the blood to disrupt the hpta balance.
stubborn fat hold lots of androgen and estrogen receptors. if bound with estrogen than for sure that could be what is keeping my LH low and thus my T levels.
it’s been about a wk since ive been focusing on burning stubborn fat…cant’ spot reduce so just working out to burn fat overall. lost about 7 lbs now…although first 4 was within 2-3 days cuz its mostly water weight. eating very healthy so the fat should melt away over the next month or two i hope. also had my first am erection in quite a while.
Do you have a source for that? pls post if so.
Personally i think your barking up the wrong tree but we all have to find our own way.
Your blood show lowish estrogen but u have som fat around your waist so you reason it must be cause the fat is holding estrogen and also inhibiting your hpta from sensing low T. To me this sounds far fetched.
How come all the other middleaged guys who have an xtra layer around their waist dont experience this hpta inhibiting effects that we/you do?
Loosing waist/weight is probably a good thing either way if your have a pound extra so i guess trying this wont do any harm.
Btw what sideeffects are you exp these days?
It’s a nice theory, but one that can’t be explained all the way through. I’ve fasted down to skin and bones and I still have issues. I can feel them primarily in my brain…
i actually have labs that have Total Estrogens above the max range…while Estradiol is on low end.
will post the several links out there indicating that fat (visceral) is a haven for hormones. and middle aged men with pot bellys do in fact have low T and a slew of other issues. like u’ll read anywhere…several men have low T but just brush the symptoms aside as stress induced or aging. that’s why TRT in itself is so poorly understood…not enough men complain and get checked when symptoms come around…they just ignore it and become miserable.
that’s where we are completely different…i have zero brain fog or brain issues for that matter.
for rocking : have u ever been to an endo ? if yes,what did he say u ?
been to two Endos. both said my T levels were mid range so they didn’t think i had any Testosterone issues. the one endo dismissed my total Es being too high and said that taking an AI or any other antiestrogen is not a good idea and that losing weight should help. the other endo felt my total Es is what is holding my T from going higher and/or limiting what normal levels of T i do have from giving me a healthy libido.
mind u i was on TRT a few different times with zero improvments to libido. my E2 was under control while taking TRT. its the high estrogens in my body that is causing this.
google visceral fat and/or subq fat and how it’s a huge factor in hormones and receptor signaling. many guys on here may have low body fat and lean stomachs so may not apply to them. im just speaking for myself.
