If you have low natural aromatase levels, and aren't looking to take more injections, you can do essentially the opposite of what we would normally suggest for Estrogen management. You can increase aromatase by supplementing vitamin D, taking melatonin, drinking more alcohol/red wine, eating more beef and lamb, and avoiding oats, corn, kale, and walnuts.
Avoid certain medications such as aspirin and metformin.
OTC medications that increase aromatase are naproxen, oneprazole, cimetidine, diphenhydramine, and meclizine.
