So important to make sure as a man, your levels are right
High levels of this can increase your risk of deadly sepsis
Matt Cook here, and sepsis is a potentially fatal immune response to pathogens in the body.
It is usually triggered when bacteria leak from the gut in severe illness.
Anything from an auto accident to a viral infection can lead to sepsis as the stress breaks down the barriers which keep the bacteria where they should be.
Though it is not recorded this way – sepsis is probably the main cause of death in humans.
And a number of studies have shown that women are far more susceptible to death from sepsis than men are.
Researchers in Nashville wondered whether “sex” hormones may explain this difference in sepsis risk.
They found that estrogen is a major predictor of death in critical care.
Of course, estrogen is not just a female “sex” hormone.
It is an inflammatory hormone which is produced by men too.
The human research was carried out at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville. The paper was published in Critical Care Medicine.
The authors of this study were looking into differences in the risk of death from sepsis by sex…
…wondering whether it could be explained by differences in hormones.
“Although some observational studies confirm this pattern in humans, others demonstrate no difference in mortality.”
Estrogen is well known to affect inflammation – and the inflammatory response is the main risk in sepsis.
It is the inflammation that kills you, not the pathogen.
“Estrogens are important modulators of the inflammatory response and insulin resistance in humans and have been linked to increased mortality during sepsis.”
So, the researchers decided to look at data collected from people who were patients in critical care.
“Our objective was to determine whether sex hormone levels were associated with outcomes in critically ill surgical patients.”
They looked at information from over 300 people who had been in intensive care for two or more days.
“We analyzed data from 301 adult critically ill or injured surgical patients remaining in the intensive care unit for >48 hrs.”
They looked at blood samples taken two days after admission to the ICU.
These samples were analysed for estrogen and other major sex hormones.
“Blood was collected 48 hrs after intensive care unit admission and assayed for sex hormones.”
They then looked to see if there was a relationship between these hormones and the likelihood of survival.
They found that the main type of estrogen produced in the body (estradiol) was a strong predictor of mortality.
People with higher estrogen were less likely to survive.
“Estradiol was significantly higher in nonsurvivors.”
They split the participants into four groups according to the amount of estrogen in their blood.
Those with the highest estrogen levels were more than three times more likely to die.
“Analysis by quartiles of estradiol demonstrated greater than a three-fold increase in the mortality rate for the highest vs. the lowest estradiol quartiles (29% vs. 8%).”
Another analysis showed that people with higher estrogen were more than four times more likely to die in the intensive care unit.
“An estradiol level of 100 was associated with an odds ratio for death of 4.60 compared with a reference estradiol level of 45.”
Blood estrogen levels are a strong predictor of survival in critical care patients.
“We conclude that serum estradiol correlates with mortality in critically ill and injured surgical patients and discuss potential mechanisms for this observation.”
There are many detrimental effects of estrogen, including its ability to amplify inflammation…
Which leads me to believe that this is not just a correlation – rather that estrogen is causing an increased risk of death.
Both men and women should take care to make sure that their estrogen levels do not get out of control…
…and cause major health problems and significantly increase the risk of death.
You should always consult your healthcare practitioner for guidance on medical diagnosis and treatment.

Drinking this Tee soup slows down aromatase — boosts natural testosterone while lowering harmful estrogen
Many men don’t have a problem producing testosterone.
Not even in men in their 50s, 60s, 70s, and beyond.
The real problem is a process called aromatization that speeds up as a man ages…
With aromatization, testosterone is being created but getting turned into estrogen.
And that’s the problem — too much testosterone is getting turned into estrogen.
So T levels go down and estrogen levels go up!
But when you drink this 2-minute Tee soup I’ve discovered, you slow down aromatase…
So testosterone STAYS testosterone — and your T levels shoot upwards while estrogen falls back down.
Here’s how to make my Tee Soup at home with 1 or 2 simple cheap ingredients
