Hi!

Have you done blood tests to check your hormones? Before starting a program, it's better if you find out where exactly all your levels are (estrogen/progesterone/testosterone) to avoid creating any further imbalances. If you have already done a test and you just have high T, then you could try reishi, spearmint tea, pumpkin seeds (personally, I had an unpleasant experience with these but maybe your body will get along just fine!) or pumpkin seed oil to lower your testosterone. It depends on how sensitive you are but watch out for adverse side effects, do research before taking these herbs. 

As for maca, it's supposed to be an adaptogen but so many sources confirm that it raises DHEA and testosterone. I've read about several ladies on the forum who took maca and an anti-androgen at the same time so you could try that. Start low on the maca though!
