Hi everyone,
Wanted to ask for feedback on recent bloodwork, specifically several questions:
(I'm 31 yo male, 72 kg, 5'11", reasonable build)
This is not esoteric biochemistry. A high T/low cortisol is the hormonal profile of senior management (link), hence I'm interested in it from a promotion standpoint. Estrogen -- primarily for fat loss reasons, though if it's high I may want to drop it just because -- female hormone and all.
Bloodwork results:
Cortisol: 480 nmol/l, on a range of 100-535 (67th percentile)
Estrogen: 120 pmol/l, on a range of 40-160 (87th percentile)
Testosterone (total): 29 nmol/l, on a range of 9-42 (61st percentile)
I know it's a weird question, but it's part of getting hormone balance to an optimal point, something GLL is big on when it comes to a number of other hormones. So hopefully this could be useful for others also.

- My cortisol is extremely high. I want to get it down, both for work and because I'm about to go on a cut, and such high cortisol will not help. Are there any cortisol blockers that I can run at moderate dosages "all the time"? I've been taking Ashwaghanda and Rhodolia, no tangible impact so far; about to try Relora but not expecting anything amazing.
- My estrogen seems high. Is it actually? Any blockers I should consider taking for a cut?
- Is my T basically average for a 31 yo male? A couple years ago I tested it and it was quite high, but this is disappointing. Is this low enough to consider TRT?
