I’ve recently been working on raising my testosterone levels as best that I can. Hormonal imbalance is affected by other things than the SAD and insulin responses and satiety signals. Testosterone / Estrogen imbalance is epidemic in the modern world and it’s affecting obesity and fertility in both men and women. Estrogen compounds are used in just about everything that’s manufactured with fragrance, parabens, phenols and many other industrial compounds. The petroleum industry produces tons of byproducts that are used in plastics that are estrogenic compounds, BPA being the one we all know. But they are like designer drugs, tweak an element of the molecular structure and BPA became what is currently used BPE. Not yet enough data on damages to human physiology yet so until they do long term studies it’s safe to be exposed…until it isn’t, .
This is an interview by Dr. Ken Berry of Dr. Anthony Jay PHD, a research doctor who wrote a book called “Estrogenetics” which I am very interested in reading after this interview. The damages we are incurring are being passed to future generations through these industrial compounds (epigenetics).
