That’s true. But, when you take a pharmaceutical to offset the side-effects of a pharmaceutical, there’s the risk of additional side-effects to possibly have to deal with.
Why not try the simplest approach first…..exercise. Then, if that doesn’t work, try other alternatives.

Hot flushes occur in 60% +patients,bone loss, muscle loss,foggy brain
All these can be controlled with low dose estrogen. estrogen is not a medicine dear.its always there in the body but adt destroys it as well .and I am talking of low dose
Tamoxifen and raloxifen are other options

I agree that exercise certainly helps - no doubt about it. But I've also been considering adding low dose estrogen.
Why? My current estrogen level is "undetectable" and that doesn't seem healthy. Perhaps adding a small dose of estrogen would (1) help me feel better and (2) aide my overall health. Heck...I've even read that estrogen had been used as a form of ADT many decades ago.
I'm thinking if I added estrogen and closely monitored my levels (to avoid gynecomastia in case my estrogen got too high), this could be a nice "win-win" scenario.
