Via Healthy Living, Heavy Lifting: Tip of the Day: Trying to change your diet to manipulate hormone levels? Youre probably wasting your time. Just like insulin sensitivity, if you lift hard and stay relatively lean, your hormone levels will likely be just fine. Additionally, any changes you can make, provided youre within the normal range, will likely lead to no greater benefit. This is why comparing natural levels with exogenous hormone levels is ridiculous. This is the classic case of people thinking higher levels of testosterone will drastically boost muscle growth, because bodybuilders often take special supps to take their test levels above normal levels. Nope - doesnt work like that for natty folks. Furthermore, if you really do have a serious hormonal issue, this should be left to an endocrinologist to diagnose and fix, not a diet guru.
