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

is honey ok?
@@user-ms6eh9yr4x Yeah but a little
Today, i ate 2 bars of chocolate 😮😨. I can't stop eating from it.
Oh damn, mint? There goes my gum multi pack!
Did not realize that I was in a battle with Estrogen........until now.
That's because the powers to be want you to have more estrogen to make you weaker.
You arent just dont be fat lol
In the middle of losing a decent amount of weight and just found this channel.
I’m loving all this info, it’s been extremely helpful
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)
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.
Thanks for sharing. What are you using as a milk substitute now? I understand regular milf and soy milk are horrible as well!
Good stuff. As always.
Also plan to check into your links provided. I like trying out dozens of peoples six week programs just because I have the rest of my life to do them and then actually being able to speak from experience when the six weeks is over how they affected me.
Thanx, keep up the good info. Didn't know that about mint and licorice.
Glad to learn about the mint and licorice tea. I have both of those, and I'm gonna chuck them. That's fringe stuff though. I'm 45 and believe me, If you stay off alcohol and lift heavy 3 times a week; your "T" will be noticeably higher than most of your peers, and higher than a lot of people half your age. Max and Gravity Transformation was a valuable resource for my own body transformation that started in 2018. I've learned a lot from this channel.
Amazing video, thanks for it all
Didn't know for mint !
Thanks for the share
Dude, it was a study conducted on a rat. Not human. I am aware the was female also but why not just conduct it on a male as that is what people want to know. It probably was trialed and came back with no decrease in testosterone.
It was great as always, perfect video❤
good to know that im avoiding about 90% of this stuff. seems im on the right way
Yet another great informational video
Avoid sweet, salty, greasy foods drink lotta water am I close?
Salt is actually good for you! Stir frying with butter isn't that bad, as long as you don't deep fry! Drinking too much water can make you lose electrolytes/ other minerals and vitamins.
@@Chris-kr7ggelectro lights are overated metals, their are many different versions or forms of each electro light. Natural ones from food are best. What you get from food is all anyone really needs
@@turtletom8383
I don't really understand your comment! I'm going to assume English isn't your first language.
@@Chris-kr7gg Wrong, you get more than enough sodium from natural healthy food. Adding sodium not only makes you retain fluids, but it also makes you more likely to develop hypertension, which is one of the leading causes of heart and kidney disease. Obviously don't drink excessive water, just drink water as your body asks for depending on your individual intake requirements.
@@Anon_571
I never said add lots of salt! Most people can't handle salt because they are unhealthy. Some of the healthiest countries in the world eat a lot more salt than is recommended between 4-8 grams a day and they live long healthy lives please don't twist things to your deluded perceptions.
You mentioned spearmint, what about peppermint? Is there a different reaction to peppermint, or should it be avoided as well? I used to have one peppermint every day for several years.
Amazing channel! Thanks for the info!
Drink plenty of water 💧. Also, try to avoid foods that are too greasy or salty! Very helpful video👍
7 drinks fri, 7 drinks sat
quality channel quality info
Good explanation bro 👍🏻 ❤
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.
thank you very much!
Great info!!!
Hii sir I have one question for you.Which one is better body building vs CALISTHENICS
Love your information you share,mint is something you might want to study Abit more, mint family not good for memory and other brain function.
I don't drink but I can't avoid all the other foods altogether because I don't cook food myself nor top up the groceries by my choice and it also depends on the location on the availability of food.
Unless you are a highly competitive athlete trying to squeeze out every bit of gains. I feel like this is overcomplicating everything. If you stick to the basics: Exercise, good sleep and diet consistently then you shouldn't worry about minor details like this unless you consume the stuff mentioned on a daily basis.
Where have you been ? Long Time no post!
This is good guidance for men trying to bulk up but the thing is healthy foods are costly and what do you do if you can't afford all the proper nutrition?
That's the thing stuff is gettin' more expensive each day, even vegetables and fruits 🥲
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.
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.
The acid in Licorice mentioned here also blocks absorption of Potassium and in 1 mans case after he switched sweets on the construction site to 1 bag per day, resulted in a fatal heart attack in the cafeteria and couldn't be revived. If I recall correctly he was middle aged and not obese.
Great video! I’m trying to increase testosterone and get rid of stomach visceral fat and man boobs. I’m almost 70 so it’s difficult. I avoid all junk foods. Only use small amount of olive oil in cooking
Then how do you cook if some stuff can get stuck to the pan? Do you use water?
keep it up!
We all eat so unhealthy...No wonder I been feeling like this sometimes for no reason.
14 drinks a week is considered moderate? Holly f*ck. oO For me that is already a hefty addiction.
No, it is just not inside your ideals…
@@RenditionLies Even the CDC defines heavy drinking as 8 or more drinks per week for females and 15 or more drinks per week for males.
@@WeItenspinner lmao, ThE CdC SaYs… yeah and 14 is less than 15, wtf is your point? Die miserable if you want. It’s okay to get drunk on a Saturday bro. L
Had no idea my boys were in this much danger. Anyways, so I recently stop taking Dietary Testostorone pills from my local Walmart, just cuz I think taking in too much testosterones is bad from what I seen on YT and Im just gonna rely on my meals for protein. Now Im convinced that I can stay jacked til Im old. Your last vid on how our bodies will keep producing testosorone up in my 80s.
Dang it. Mint and licorice are some of my fav flavors for tea. Thanks though, this is good info to have

I am French. I like the English language and understand a bit of it but my oral comprenhension is rather poor. Nonetheless, I find Max Pasternak's speech much more understandable than 99% other English speakers on YT. Can any native English speaker tell me where his accent is from or wether he may make particular efforts to articulate without any accent? Thanks a lot for your answers.
"Dad bods are sexy"
"Children should be fed chicken nuggets rather than the food adults are eating"
It's almost like testosterone is under attack.
I refuse to give up my choco-mint! It is the perfect flavor!
Is it good coconut oil🎉
Love how the thumbnail implies that the guy went bald from eating sweets and not having enough testosterone, yet baldness is caused by having too much testosterone 🤦🏾
Damn it mint ice cream is my favorite 😔
Does mint mouthwash include?
Its a good job my 30-day free delivery-offer from Wolt is about to expire
Interesting
Wow simply just wow bro you are doing a wonderful work for all of us by telling about this 6 testosterone killers men must avoid and keep it up and keep up the good work as always and take care
Keep smiling always
I can't find anything to back up pasteurised eggs vs normal eggs and it's relation to testosterone
Great Video: From Brazil
Some foods that naturally support healthy testosterone levels include Tuna, Oysters, Eggs, Garlic, and Leafy greens.
I read an article that licorice can build muscle might need to dive in further in this subject
Might be the flavonoid an not the other stuff that licorice has
Fabulous
why do I feel like i've seen this video already? I follow GT, he knows his shit, I lost 50+ lbs in 12 months, despite plateau'ing 3x.. but I've never been stronger and my arms and legs are jacked
Wow I had no idea licorice did that to your testosterone. As I do love me some black licorice and often buy it. Welp taking a break from it now
Dammit, black licorice is one of my favorites.
Black licorice is quite nasty
Agreed! Although rare, and it depends on the person, it can kill if you eat too much of it daily.
but why canola oil - it is high in omega 3 fatty acids.
Canola oil is super processed
How am I going to live without licorice?
Had to say spearmint 😩
Any alternatives for gum? Peppermint?
I had mint leave to my smoothie 😂😅 I don't if that's good or not
Sad story for mint. I loved mint.
Nope. Drinking your daily average for a week in one night is binge drinking. The recommendation is to not exceed the daily recommended limit. I'm referring to alcohol
Nah, you are wrong. That isn’t binge drinking. You just have to do it correctly.
@@RenditionLies Taking 21 I U in one day instead of 3 I.U DAILY IS BINGE DRINKING
@@adegbenroagoro5180 nope 👎
@@RenditionLies It's your body. A day will come when you'll recollect an unknown dude warned you.
Funny, i never drank alcohol, didnt like mint, didnt like liquorice. And now im trying to get rid of sugary, processed foods.
But... speaking about the thumbnail image, what does being bald has to do with lower testosterone?
Pfft. Like i would ever stop eating (salty) licorice. 😅
💯
I heard that estrogen isn't an agonist to testosterone but they actually work synergistically together. Idk why men think that men don't have estrogen naturally in their blood all humans have both. The dominate hormone is one of the many differences between men and women.
Carnivore is KING ❤❤❤
Nooo mint! Why have you betrayed me? 😅 😭
I'm glad I don't like licorice or mint..😅
No Mijito🤯🤯🤯
What??? Drinking every day is ok now? And I felt bad about a beer on a weekend
6:13 HAHAHA!
Glycyrrhizic is what Snoop Dogg calls sugar.
How alcohol 🍸 help
Diary products affect T levels and fertility
Damn, I love licorice and mint tea! Oh well, throwing it out anyways.
but do you have any low T symptoms ? are you often tired ?
What’s up w/ all the Josh Gad videos? 😂
Lukrecja zła? 😔
I never knew my deep fried, mint liquorice was draining my yang!
Does polyester clothes affect testosterone??
Mint flavored kills the bass in my voice, I hate it, i sound like an 8 year old boy anytime i chew mint flavored gum. It's really odd, I deff feel a drop in testosterone when I chew mint flavored gum. I always chew fruit flavored gum nowadays. Watermelon specifically, and I dont have this problem anymore.
What about jaggery??
I like to drink
Uh...I expected more...
So I'm barely doing anything to fuck up my testosterone...? I just eat a piece of cake once a week. Sometimes not even that...
How do I increase it, then? With garlic and what else?
DON’T FORGET that all synthetic clothes and others materials contain xeno-estrogens. next time you buy any fabric may it be clothes or pillow case buy : cotton, silk, linen and wool
your thumbnail is wrong ,baldness is a sign of high testosteron
is honey ok?
Same as sugar dude
Testosterone 💪🏼
Where is carbs in the list
All the foods mentioned are obviously going to be high in unhealthy carbs. Frozen meals are also high in carbs which is bad for one's cholesterol.
So l know everyone low-key wants to ask this question, Is this the main reason why Transgender exist?
Does this mean females should consume more of these food tho?
Sorry
The thumbnail is misleading. Hair loss occurs due to higher testosterone levels, which means bald men are a lot less likely to have erection issues than others.
Emfs?
I have to eat like a medevil king
The science is usually so accurate but I'm going to call bunk on the statement that licorice is "delicious"
Everything these days is just trying to kill you. I think I'll just go on a no food ultra diet and watch the pounds slough off. T^T
we can survive on grass fed beef and pesticide free fruits and veggies, don’t need nothing more. Just need money
You look same like 5 years ago
What about soy beans and soy milk?
