    brain masculinization

    I had some lab tests done and my free and total testosterone is low while my estradiol and SHBG is high. So my body tends to over aromatise. Brain is one of the most aromatising organs so i want to prevent my brain getting exposed to too much estrogen.Because i like the feeling of manliness.

    I am planning to use an aromatase inhibitor or unconvertable testosterone.

    My questions are:

    is there another way to increase brain masculinity

    which unconvertable testosterone is most similar to natural one?

    Which aromatase inhibitor passes and effects brain most?

    Stop focusing on your brain, but on your body as a whole.
    What were the actual test results, with normal ranges?

    Hello everyone by the way. I've been following the forum for a while so i forgot i am new.

    i got tested 5 times and my mean total t is
    around 500 free t 15 estradiol 40 SHBG 35.

    By manliness i mean masculinity in general. I didn't mean sexuality particularly.I like being more energetic badass etc.I know women can be basasses too but they also need testosterone for this.

    Brain changes dramatically in response to hormones.There are studies done on transsexuals.

    Increasing testosterone wouldn't be effective alone because as brain is exposed to estrogen it becomes more feminine and tends to aromatise more.So as my estradiol is already high and my brain feminized increasing t will make my estradiol even higher.

    Not all substances pass to brain because of brain blood barrier also i read that when used for HRT aromatase inhibitors are less effective on brain (behavioral effects etc).

    So i need to increase my t but also decrease estrogen in my brain.I could use DHT as it is nonaromatising but t is recommended for HRT.

    I ve been searching about this for months but couldn't find a solution.

    Get your vitamin D levels in the upper 1/3 range and this will help lower SHBG. Your E2 is not that bad so I would try zinc and DIM before using an AI such as arimidex .

    Both the above will free up your test levels.

    transexuals supposedly already have the opposite gender's brains prior to starting hrt....i dont think transexuals are the best candidates though, they are very capricious.
