[QUOTE="Gman86, post: 205757, member: 15043"] Man, this is some really exciting stuff! It totally makes sense tho. Years ago E2 and progesterone were thought of as “female hormones”, and that we should keep them both relatively low, and keep the “male hormone” testosterone high. But over the years we’ve slowly realized that E2 has amazing benefits in the male body, and is possibly responsible for most of the positive benefits that come from TRT. For some reason progesterone has still been thought of as a hormone that doesn’t need to be optimized, and we’re better off keeping it on the low end. But we have these hormones in the male body for a reason, and it would only make sense that they should all be balanced, not just select hormones, and not others. So in hindsight it seems like common sense that guys on TRT shouldn’t just leave their progesterone levels at the bottom of the range. But what I’m finding extremely interesting is how progesterone seems like the ultimate balancer, which I can definitely see being the missing key for a lot of men. Obv ur just one person’s experience, and what I’m saying is mostly theoretical, but it would totally make sense if progesterone ends up being a key component in a lot of men’s journey to getting optimized.
