So women have more testosterone than estrogen.

and significantly more DHEA than either.

DHT is a very androgenic hormone.

So whether you're talking about DHEA, which is a weak androgen, or testosterone, which is a relatively strong androgen,

or DHT, which is a very strong androgen, they bind to the androgen receptor in both men and in women.

So the effect of all three of those is mediated by the androgen receptor.

Intriguingly, it is on the X chromosome.

So men get their androgen receptor gene from their mother.

So DHT helps a lot for the same reason why testosterone helps.

It helps effort feel good.

So it can be motivating.

There's lots of dietary changes and supplementation that you're probably doing right now that's affecting your DHT.

You mean me personally?

Well, everybody, all of the listeners.

Because let's say you have a diet high in plant polyphenols.

Many of those inhibit the enzyme that converts testosterone to DHT.

Yeah, turmeric, black pepper extract.

Do you recommend that people avoid curcumin and turmeric for that reason?

If someone's DHT is already low or if they have somewhat insensitive androgen receptor,

via genetics or via lifestyle, then I recommend they avoid bioavailable curcuminoids like bioavailable turmeric, black pepper extract.
