I understand the difference between peat, and mainstream science in regards to what is good and bad hormonally, but now entering the gray area.
Cortisol is good in inconsistent acute amounts, but not chronic, while progesterone is its complete opposite.
If taken in excess, progesterone and such leads to cancer, just as the opposite does if elevated chronically.
Could this be because progesterone and such, are in their own ways mildly catabolic hormones?
I say this in my own understanding that growth is just an acclimation to a stressor, and these compounds lead to growth in their own ways seperate from typical muscle anabolism associated with testosterone.
This, and because they seem to suppress testosterone the same as cortisol if the normal flow of hormones is not disrupted through use of downstream hormones.
I wonder if the cortisol increase associated with overdoses of these compounds sometimes occurs in order to prevent the body from developing cancerous growths (ironically), and damages tissues so that there is a substrate to grow off of.
Tl;dr,
Are pregnenolone, progesterone, and other downstream hormones mildly catabolic as well as strongly anabolic as to damage, to then grow an organism effectively in the face of extreme caloric/nutritional/optimal bodily function/low stress?
I personally cant seem to think of someone who would grow indefinitely, albeit in a healthy manner, without some sort of stressor being applied. (If I understand correctly, these hormones lead to constant growth of sorts.)
Also, phone autocorrect; can someone change the title to: Are pregnenolone and its metabolites minor stress hormones?
