So, guys, Derek, moreplacemoredates.com.

Today we're going to be talking about what you should do before using an AI, before you hop on the AI train, start inhibiting aromatase, as well as SHBG and how to manipulate it too.

So a lot of people, they think SHBG is the devil.

They also think that estrogen is the devil.

You need to inhibit it. I feel like the estrogen conversation is becoming a bit more, you know,

well known in the community about how you shouldn't just indiscriminately inhibit aromatase

proactively. And even if a number on a piece of paper is, you know, double the reference range

if your testosterone's like fucking 2,000 nanograms per decilator, expecting your estradiol to be 30

is kind of ridiculous when you think about it.

So one of the first things with AIs is, like, I'm gonna, there's obviously a lot of things you can dig into in terms of controlling it.

Like, even just getting leaner, for example, you have less aromatase expression, less aromatase in general when you're a leaner. Like you have to understand the fat in your body. If you're just a fat ass,

you're going to have more aerobotase activity than the next guy, which is going to

consequently increase your estrogen levels disproportionately higher than the next guy who's

leaner. So, you know, just getting lean in itself can make a substantial difference. But on top of

that, administration frequency. This is something, this is kind of like the main topic of today is going

to be like manipulating even the dosage amount can be manipulated in different ways to impact

different hormones and enzymes in your body so for example the standard you know cookie cutter

TRT is kind of like 200 milligrams per week.

That's kind of like what HRT clinics are kind of cookie cutter giving out right now.

And sometimes it says infrequent as one shot a week of 100 milligrams, which basically

what happens when you pin a bolus amount of testosterone at once is you shoot your levels

into super physiological territory, consequently resulting in a super
