Understanding the Impact of Estrogen on Testosterone Optimization

Therapeutic testosterone converts to estrogen through the aromatase enzyme, which confers protection to biological systems. However, many doctors prescribe aromatase inhibitors along with testosterone, undermining the benefits of estrogen. It is crucial to find a doctor who understands the importance of allowing estrogen to fall to its natural level. The protective level of estradiol in men on testosterone therapy is between 70 and 100. Moreover, it is essential to address factors that can influence estradiol levels, such as body fat and environmental estrogens. Losing body fat and reducing exposure to environmental estrogens can help optimize estradiol levels.
