Good afternoon ExcelMale,
I was recently referred to this website by a fellow member of a lifting community via ********.
A little background info:
I'm 6'1", 19 years old and I have been working out since March 2012 although I have just been getting serious and understanding the process and being under the guidance of a professional competition prep coach for the last 50 weeks.
I always thought I had high estrogen due to my unfortunate fat stores which are very, very stubborn, as said by my coach as well who coaches nearly 300+ others.
I decided to get blood work done and below I have posted the results.
As knowledgeable as my coach is, I don't think he is as well versed in hormones as the ExcelMale community is, thus, I have come to you guys. However, my Coach did in fact mention that my higher estrogen levels could be due to a couple of things which make sense to me.
1) A hormonal imbalance I had during puberty. (I was very unhealthy, slightly obese)
2) If I had ever dealt with depression growing up.
I have a hunch it could be a little bit of both because all I did when I was growing up is play on the computer. I had no friends. Didn't go out much at all. This may have psychologically messed with me. I very will could have been depressed, and I think I was too.
I appreciate any and all help/advice on this matter.
Other info:
-very very stubborn fat stores even after cutting nearly 50+ pounds (low back)
-sometimes I'm tired
-I don't have much of a sex drive/strong libido
-Don't usually wake up with morning wood
-My diet is 100% spot on - I track each calorie, protein, carb, and fat I consume. As I said I am very serious about lifting/nutrition being under guidance with my coach.
I guess what I'm asking is could any one part of the ExcelMale community possibly diagnose why my estradiol is high? And how I would go about possibly lowering it?
Again, I really appreciate any insight.
