How? - Attacking you with foods that contain soy and chemicals that suppress testosterone levels. hormone disrupting chemicals have made their way into a variety of products, from cosmetics like sunscreen and toothpaste to plastic water bottles and thermal receipt ink.
Using the media, the economy, finances, race, fear and every other weapon they can to keep you in a constant state of stress. These environments and conditions drive up secretion of the stress hormone cortisol, which results in lower levels of the estrogen-desensitizing hormone progesterone. This relative increase in estrogen dominance is not good for either sex, but men are particularly affected by it.
Why? - Strong men inspire and lead others, protect those around them and most importantly, fight. Weak men follow.
Edit: Most insurances won't cover TRT (testosterone replacement therapy) but **will **cover testosterone if you're a woman Transitioning into a man. That's very telling.
Sadly this is 100% correct. We must mitigate ALL estrogenic influences in our environment, especially as we age. Plastics and pesticides are biggees. Unfortunately alcohol is estrogenic too, especially beer due to the hops. Same goes for smoking weed, buds from the female plant.
But if you're gonna imbibe, clear spirits like vodka (distilled several times) would be the safest, always with enough carbs and SATURATED fat to keep the liver stress response to a minimum.
Women can use BIO-IDENTICAL progesterone and many men find PREGNENOLONE to be very helpful. Nicotine can help mitigate estrogen as well.
I can speak from our own personal experience with bio-identical hormones here. My husband and I have been experimenting in this area for 8 years. I'm 55 and he is 60. Both of us have found all of these protocols to be profoundly helpful in keeping age related issues at bay.
