Adventures in Estrogen Detox

I have been thinking for a while about documenting my transition. The thing is, there are so many guys out there doing it, I felt like I would be duplicating their information and basically just clogging up the information superhighway.  But there are aspects of transition that we rarely if ever document.

Things like the reduction of female levels of hormones in our bodies.

Of course, many of our doctors have told us that introducing Testosterone to our systems would shut down or greatly reduce the estrogen production in our bodies, and happy to finally be seeing facial hair and some muscle growth coupled with not being visited by Aunt Flo anymore, we gleefully listened and even signed off on having health risks associated with imbalanced sex hormones....

Few of us knew any different,,,
Few of our doctors actually know any different either...

Unless we were fortunate enough to hook up with either an Endo or a Sports Medicine Doctor.

I did ask my primary care physician about some type of anti-estrogen therapy, and was actually told that because I had already gone through puberty, there was nothing that it could do for me. (Intending to touch back on that one at my next appointment)

But in the meantime I did a bunch of research....

I am taking matters into my own hands... (I will be following up with my doctor on this though, I will be demanding Estradiol labs)

So, today begins DAY 1 of Adventures in Estrogen Detox!

Since I have not had E2 levels done yet, I will have to be reliant on how I feel, what I see, and my BMI info from my regular meetings with my personal trainer.

So for the BMI.........................
At my last weigh-in:
weight:                       262.6lbs
% body fat:                  42.5%
fat lbs:                        111.6
lean lbs:                      151.0
water:                         110.2

I will be taking Pure Breast-D (yeah, I hate the name) combination of 100mg Calcium D-Glucarate, 150mg DIM ....it's got some other stuff in it, but those two are the reason I got it.
The bottle says 1-2 capsules a day............but that is to maintain the breast health of self-identified females... so I checked out the bodybuilding websites and saw that most men are taking 4-6 daily to maintain sufficiently low E2 levels....

I am going to start with 3 daily and adjust by feel I will also be testing other products to ensure that I have the correct supplemental support for my "unique" situation.
