Overtime food has the power to make you stronger and leaner with naturally higher testosterone levels but the wrong foods can do the opposite, by raising estrogen, lowering testosterone, and causing a wide range of cascading side effects like gaining body fat, losing muscle mass, and becoming weaker and more tired. So Many people try to raise their testosterone by eating foods like garlic, oysters, and ginger but the truth is avoiding foods that have the potential to raise your estrogen levels is far more impactful because naturally, we wouldn't be consuming a lot of the ingredients and foods that we have available to us today. So today I want to give you the 8 worst foods that are likely to disrupt your hormones by raising estrogen and lowering testosterone. By minimizing these foods you'll maximize your testosterone levels so you can feel more motivation, energy, and vitality.
And first you want to take a look at the kinds of fats that you're eating. Historically, human diets were a lot higher in omega-3 fatty acids compared to omega-6 fatty acids, mostly because people mostly ate foods like wild-caught fish, seeds, and leafy green vegetables. However, modern Western diets tend to be a lot higher in omega-6 fatty acids. You can check the label on most prepped foods in your grocery store and you'll find that they're high in cheap vegetable oils like corn, soybean, cottonseed, and sunflower oils which are all high in omega 6. But it's not just vegetable oils even butter from cows, and eggs from chickens that are fed grain-based diets skew more in the direction of omega 6. Now the problem with this is that excessive intake of omega-6 fatty acids can lead to an imbalance of certain hormones like estrogen and testosterone, especially when the omega 6's aren't balanced with omega-3's.
This is because inside your body Omega-6 fatty acids are turned into these things called prostaglandins, which are essentially like messengers that tell our hormones what to do. If we have too many of these messengers it can throw off the balance of our hormones. Now on top of all that, omega-6 fatty acids can potentially disrupt testosterone-to-estrogen balance by causing inflammation. Chronic inflammation has been associated with alterations in hormone levels in many studies. So to reduce inflammation and maintain a more similar diet to our ancestors try to incorporate more omega 3's with fatty fish like salmon and sardines, butter from grass-fed cows, and pasture-raised or free-range animal products like pasture-raised eggs instead of regular eggs.
To help reduce omega 6's you'll want to stay away from most vegetable oils and you'll especially want to avoid our next food group that can negatively affect a man's hormones, processed foods. Men will often try to save time by eating meals that don't require much prep time. A perfect example of this is a frozen, microwavable meal. These include frozen pizzas, TV dinners, and frozen entrees. These are all usually high in sodium, artificial additives, and unhealthy fats, which can interfere with testosterone production. It's the same story with most fast food. Regardless of whether it's burgers, fries, chicken nuggets, or other highly processed fast food options, eating fast food too often can definitely disrupt hormones in men. Trans fats are extremely harmful to your testosterone levels, so they've been removed or at least limited even in most processed foods. But deep-fried foods like French fries, chicken nuggets, and fried chicken sandwiches as well as many pastries all still commonly contain trans fats.
Burgers are also commonly cooked in partially hydrogenated oils which are a big source of trans fats too. There are multiple problems with trans fats. First trans fats can have estrogenic effects, by mimicking or interfering with the action of estrogen in the body, potentially leading to elevated estrogen levels. Second, the consumption of trans fats have also been linked to lower testosterone production in men. Decreased testosterone levels can lead to a relative increase in estrogen levels, further contributing to hormonal imbalance. So do your best to avoid highly processed foods and mostly stick to single ingredient natural foods.
Next, we have to touch on alcohol because it can have some of the most devastating effects on your hormones in 3 major ways especially if you consume too much of it. The first problem is that drinking too much alcohol can damage liver function, decreasing its ability to metabolize estrogen efficiently. This reduces the rate that estrogen

[@MarbsMusic]

I'm 54, over the last 20 years I've lost about 250 lbs getting almost back to my body building size from 30 years ago... just a lot less muscle, it's getting better though. Over the years I had slowly changed my diet but took a hard change about a year ago. No sugar at all, very low carb, high protein, high fat with more antioxidant veggies. Since then I have lost another 60 lbs, reduced my cholesterol to get off statins, dropped my A1C from a crazy 12.1 to 5.5 with only 1 med daily AND went from having low-T to a normal / above average testosterone level. The foods we eat are indeed one of the root causes for many of our problems as we get older.

[@joshanderson1598]

I can 100% confirm the mint flavored products. Specifically tea. Mint tea and Almond milk lowered my T in the overall range and active levels. I was consuming them multiple times a day for a few months. I could not figure out what was going on for a time period since my results were great with workouts and supplements, but my levels were abnormally off. Do the research and be careful how much of these you consume because it renders T inactive on a daily basis. Fat will accumulate and sleep will become inefficient just by consuming these two items as a male, all while you are eating pretty good and working out plenty. (I am 51 y/o, and fit)

[@wolven777]

Thanks for sharing. I am from Morocco, we drink mint tea everyday, sometimes 2 or 3 times, I knew our mint contains a lot of agricultural chemicals, but didn't suspect an effect on testosterone. Maybe our diet counteracts the effects of mint on T, probably the big amount of spices we eat daily, but I believe there is truth to mint affecting T, we are starting to suffer from low T among people who live in big cities and work desk jobs.

Decide how important it is to you. If it's worth the effort, get to know your local farmers, ranchers, butchers, etc. and buy directly from them. If it's not all that important, just do your best at the supermarket and don't stress.

[@Alpha_Chamber]

I've always heard this, and used to believe it, until I started slowly switching to a healthier meal plan and food prepping. Comparing pre-made meals, frozen meals, chips, sodas and sugary fruit juices, cookies, snacks, etc To Bags of rice, tubs of oats, value packs of boneless, skinless chicken breasts, frozen fruit and veggies (to avoid spoiling, im single no kids), beans, value jars of peanut butter, whole wheat pasta, etc. My grocery bills went down Seriously, they've reduced the size AND increased the cost of most junk food. It's addicting and they know we will pay it. Don't believe me because you need to see it yourself. Go online and price out some healthy food options even at somewhere like Walmart. Telling you...eating healthier is cheaper than not The trade off is, very little of it is "ready to eat", meaning you've got to feel like constantly cooking or meal prepping.
