Excessive sweating
-
Hi all, I've been plagued for essentially my whole life with high levels of sweating at night and during even moderate activities. I recall some discussion in the Old Country that this might be due to high estrogen levels, but curious on opinions. I'm 25M, decent shape. I've attached some recent labwork for more context.
I don't have a hormone panel; working on that. Can't self order bloodwork in NYS.
Any input greatly appreciated.

@monadology said in Excessive sweating:
high levels of sweating
It's usually caused by (too) high levels of cortisol and especially adrenalin, and rather low estradiol, progesterone, and (too) low Thyroid T3. Deficiencies in Magnesium, ADEK, and B vitamins are also probable.
BTW, an optimal level of TSH should be about 1, not above.
Some good practices to experiment with:
Normalizing cortisol by firstly getting the inflammation and stress down, then by adding (in afternoons) mBc-P5P+B3, C, A+E, D3+K2, Ca, Zn, Mg, inosine, theanine, apigenin, 5-6mg of DHEA, Aspirin, Royal jelly, icariin, emodin, Tulsi, PS; gelatin, palmitic acid, coffee, ~pomegranate, honey/milk/OJ; yoga, CO2…
GABA "agonists" should lower adrenaline. Since glycine, taurine, and niacinamide are all GABA "agonists" they all have studies showing lower adrenaline when consuming them. It also decreases with the help of salt, sugar/OJ, milk, sunlight… Plus inosine, theanine, ~apigenin, Tulsi, antihistamines, CBD/CBG, and forest bathing. Adrenaline increases with stress, heat, HIIT/IF/fear/excitement, and caffeine taken in a fasting state… -

I'll be back to draw your attention to an RPF thread that relates. And for a chat. Not much time rn.

Don’t underestimate the power of low blood sugar.
Or even worse- being chronically undernourishedLow bs -> high cortisol -> low progesterone -> high estrogen

I sweat excessively around psycopaths. It's really remarkably accurate. Like every pour is a hose switched on and then stops immediately when I get away from them.
A very highly functionally sensor.But anyway, my answer is completely an aside. You are geting good answers from our colleagues here.

Thank you all; extremely helpful. I think cortisol is a likely target as I am frequently quite stressed (work and otherwise), but will keep exploring all avenues. You all are lifesavers.

@monadology To add, I do think there is a non-cortisol cause that adds on as it has been an issue since childhood. So will try a multi-pronged approach.
