Thank you, Susan,
I hadn't read that. It's what I have been doing for the last 6 years. My testosterone is waay too low for a man now.
FG releases insulin. Insulin binds to SHBG. Less SHBG is left to bind free testosterone. The testosterone increases libido. Oats also decreases SHBG.
I didn't put flax in my porridge tonight. Hops and flax increase SHBG. Flax also inhibits aromatase, so it decreases estrogen and increases testosterone. But the SHBG will bind to the free testosterone. With the hops flax combo I try to balance estrogen with libido while keeping SHBG high. I use this to balance estrogen:

I just had shoots at the washing machine: so the exercise, hops (1 hour ago) and FG (6 hours ago) are balanced. I'm still worried about taking twice as much FG as hops. Wahaika even advised Hope to take at least as much hops as fenugreek. That's why I was thinking oats. The good libido this afternoon shows that it works. Eve M's program has both oats and flax.
Too much hops doesn't make me weepy, but it does ruin my ability to cope with stress, because DHT is needed to build resistance against stress. Because I have stress, my cortisol goes up. Cortisol decreases insulin sensitivity, and that builds visceral fat. Estrogens (hops) decrease cortisol, and fenugreek increases insulin sensitivity.
So the hops/FG balance affects stress and libido. For NBE growth and waist slimming, both hops and FG should be high. With the prolactin symptoms list, I hope to find out how much FG is too much. Then I can add oats for libido.
I use maca to balance too much hops. I don't know how the stress and weepiness and sleep were balanced in Eve M's program, but I think it's the soy.
I would like to try just Eve's program without maca for three months next year. The more I look at it, the more I understand just how clever it is
