let’s talk about the consequences of high estrogen in men number one it

increases your risk of a stroke why because excess estrogen increases

your risk of getting blood clots now estrogen specifically estradiol

typically is at higher levels when someone has a heart attack and when men

have atherosclerosis so too much estrogen is very dangerous to your

cardiovascular system also when you have estrogen dominance your prostate could

start to enlarge so estrogen is an anabolic hormone it grows things so the

next question is why are men becoming estrogen dominant well it could be the

soy products they are consuming because soy potentially can increase estrogen

and I’m not talking about the organic tofu or the organic miso soup or

organic fermented soy products like natto I’m not talking about those I’m

talking about conventional soy oil soy protein isolates and the soy products

that you would see in a lot of the vegetarian foods now it also could come

from something called endocrine disruptors so there are these things in

the environment like pesticides insecticides herbicides and fungicides

that have the effect of mimicking estrogen so endocrine disruptors are

also called estrogen disruptors so the more that you have in the body the more

estrogen effects you’re going to have in the body now also if you’re consuming a

lot of commercial dairy this could potentially increase your estrogen

levels now while these definitely will increase estrogen there’s something that

creates a bigger effect in your body and that would be this the conversion of

testosterone to estrogen by this one enzyme called aromatase if you have too

much of this enzyme that could be your number one source of estrogen because

it’s just converting your testosterone to estrogen so as your testosterone goes

down you lose your get-up-and-go you lose your lean body mass and you start

getting breast tissue enlarged prostate and increasing your

risk for all sorts of other problems so now the question is where is this enzyme

coming from well can you take a well guess your belly fat having more fat in

the midsection increases this enzyme so what do you do you could take an

aromatase inhibitor to stop this process okay and there’s some natural ones like

DIM which is a concentrated form of cruciferous vegetables so that would be

the other thing cruciferous vegetables typically are a natural source for aromatase

inhibitors like kale broccoli brussel sprouts cabbage cauliflower also

stinging nettle root is a natural herb that is an aromatase inhibitor it’s also

really good for inflammation but the other thing you need to do to get rid of

this is simply reduce your overall insulin insulin is causing this right

here now how do you do that if you’re new to my channel what you

need to do is you need to do something called the ketogenic diet and intermittent

fasting and I put the most important video right here to get

started check it out
