  • What are androgens? Androgens are a male derivative of a hormone. When androgens are too high in women, a wealth of symptoms emerge that can derail your wellbeing, your confidence, and your health. So what are androgens? What is the source of high androgens? And how can we reduce androgens in women? We'll discuss all this and more in today's video. It's something I'm so passionate about, as I myself suffered with high androgen levels and the dramatic symptoms that came along with it, including hair loss, stress, even depression. If you think you may have high androgens, I encourage you to have your levels tested to gain further insight into your health and symptoms.

    So helpful! I need to get my hormones checked, but I am so scared. I have most of the symptoms of high androgens, except belly fat and overweight. I will watch more of your videos.

    Yep, everything you described I experienced in my early 20s. I think birth-control helped a bit. But after the age of 35, and getting off birth control, I started noticing those symptoms again 😢.

    Thank you for this! I just had my third surgery for Stage IV endometriosis. I was told nothing can be done anymore because of damage from the other surgeries…all my female organs are glued to my bowel. I’m refusing a hysterectomy because I’ve seen what it does to women. I believe there’s an answer for everything, and I’m exploring progesterone and am taking DIM. I’ve never had my androgens tested! I just wish I could have had children. Hormones can be horrible!!

    As a Trans lady I take Androgen blockers and DHT blockers.
    I feel so great
    My wife however suffers from the symptoms you are going through here.
    However I have found out that Red Reishi Mushrooms are great to act as DHT blockers and Androgen too and natural as well.
    Yes you are correct hormones work together.
    Thank you for your video
    You deserve more views!!

      I am not 100% where I want to be, but I have had acne on my jawline, chin, since my early 20's. I stopped drinking soda back in October and have only had ONE breakout since then and it was a day after I drank a soda. Quitting soda has been harder for me than quitting alcohol but I believe it is probably the main reason my acne went away. I am pretty sure I have inflammatory PCOS though and I have excess hair growth on my face and neck and I'm still trying to find a "cure" for that 😩 going to watch this video but I've seen Zinc and NAC are very good to help decrease the hair growth.

      @@Megan-gl4zz Pls talk to your Doctor before you ingest any of these. No dont mix them all they are supposed to be taken at intervals. Berberine is a number 1 ayurvedic strong hormonal medicine so its better to have it prescribed if it is really good for you. Or else look for a substitute.
      A piece of ginger taken on empty stomach early in the morning cleanses the colon and keeps the tummy healthy... It cures leaky gut preventing nutrition loss. Castor oil is highly penetrative and is low comedogenic... You can either massage it on your lower abdomen and uterus or to get max benefits schedule a day in a week... Fast on that day and take castor oil with warm water at night.
      Overnight soaked Fenugreek seeds can be taken regularly every morning on empty stomach it balances hormones, keeps the tummy clear and regulates periods. Wish you all well and good health... ♥️👍

    I’m 49yo and in perimenopause and for many years have been dealing with excessive chin hair, hair growth in areas that it should not be, low libido, mood changes, scalp hair loss, weight gain, absolutely no energy, belly fat, and extremely fatigued all the time. I recently have had lab work done to check testosterone and androgens and I’ve been told my labs are normal. I know they’re not. I just know I’m low in testosterone, but high in androgens. Is it still possible to have bloodwork come back in normal range but still have all the issues you just described in your video?

    I decided to try an experiment I got ahold of Primobolan 10ml, 100mg per cc. Took 1cc a week for 3 weeks after the 3rd shot everything went to shit, chest cramps, stomach cramps, super high anxiety, suppression and tits got sensitive and this was on only 100mg a week. But this is UGLAB garbage so who knows what was exactly in this shit. Definitely was scared shitless
