Research from Harvard demonstrates that hormones are among the greatest modulators of the glycome, with hormone suppression accelerating immune system aging by 10 years within 6 months, while hormone replacement therapy prevents this accelerated aging; additionally, blocking testosterone conversion to estrogen (as done by bodybuilders using aromatase inhibitors) creates pro-inflammatory states, whereas natural testosterone replacement in aging men helps maintain immune system balance.

The Study Result That Sounds Impossible 10 Years of Aging in 6 Months
Added:And then we had very nicely designed trials where this was done by Harvard 20 years ago where they suppressed hormones. The same therapy you go with IVF but they knock your hormones to the ground for men and women.
And then they give them replacement or they give them placebo.
The ones that get the placebo age 10 years within 6 months of hormone suppression.
And the ones that get replacement do not age their immune system from a glycan age perspective. So, hormones are one of the greatest modulators of the glycome.
And that's also in men and women. So, they did the same study in men where they knocked testosterone to the floor.
They give them back replacement or they give them replacement plus aromatase inhibitors that blocks conversion to estrogen. And we see that the ones that block conversion to estrogen become inflammatory. So, what we do as what steroids are or [snorts] this kind of bodybuilding community, they usually block block aromatase cuz they're going for very high testosterone to build muscle and we see that will be very pro-inflammatory. Well, if you have naturally lost testosterone because of aging which happens to all of us men, then replacing that what you've naturally lost seems to keep the immune system in balance.
