We don't KNOW that this can happen, but I do think it's a possibility that we need to keep in mind.
There is a kind of surprising subset of women with lots of boys who are rail thin and are in recovery from eating disorders and I believe testosterone plays some part in that. Firstly that a higher t personality ~might~ be more likely to develop an eating disorder to begin with, but also because their bodies may have been perpetually reset to crisis mode and "thinks" it will have to fight for every scrap of food it receives.
For TTC pink I think it's safest to aim for the point where we are in declining condition WITHOUT triggering that crisis mode.
