@roscoe88 - I think just looking at E2 alone doesn’t paint the whole picture. I came across this video a while back while researching DIM. I’ve linked it to start at 4:02 where it starts talking about the metabolism of estrogens. I just think there is way more to this than the E2 number and how a person feels at that number. It’s about women, but from 4 minutes on it’s about estrogen metabolism.
People who feel good and have a high number probably have estrogen metabolism working well. People who have a high number and don’t feel well probably have other issues with metabolism. They talk about issues with certain genes that could cause issues. Take a gander and let me know your thoughts.
I’m considering getting one of these Dutch tests. I just don’t know if I do it at trough or not.
