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
