The Art of Manliness

NOTE

Natural Test Supplements

Assessing fasting insulin, A1c, cortisol, prolactin, and estrogen levels provides crucial insights for health improvement. High cortisol can be managed with lifestyle changes and supplements like ashwagandha or emodin. Elevated prolactin levels may be addressed with vitamin B6 or E, while high estrogen can be mitigated with calcium D-glucarate to enhance excretion through stool. Re-evaluation should occur within one to three months to gauge improvements, emphasizing the importance of lifestyle modifications—such as quitting alcohol, improving sleep, and maintaining a balanced diet and exercise regimen—as the primary approach except in cases of pituitary issues. Often, results from these changes are initially noticeable within a week, with hormonal levels, particularly testosterone, commonly showing a quick recovery, although medications can also be an option if needed.
