You’ve heard that one, right? The internet’s favorite bro-science myth.
Here’s the truth 👇
Foods like tofu, tempeh, and edamame contain phytoestrogens, which are plant compounds that actually help regulate hormones, not flood your body with estrogen.
Multiple peer-reviewed studies (like those published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition) show that soy does not increase estrogen or lower testosterone in men. In fact, it’s linked to improved heart health, reduced cholesterol, and even better recovery thanks to its amino acid profile.
You know what does raise estrogen? 👉 Alcohol.
According to the National Library of Medicine, heavy alcohol use can increase estrogen levels and suppress testosterone, leading to the exact hormonal imbalance people wrongly blame on soy.
So no — soy isn’t the problem. The problem is misinformation and poor lifestyle choices disguised as “alpha” nutrition.
If you want to actually eat smart, train hard, and stay balanced naturally — without cutting out nutrient-packed foods like soy — I’ll show you how.
