3. Excessive Alcohol
Alcohol interferes with the endocrine system and suppresses testosterone production—especially when consumed regularly or in large quantities.
Tip: If you drink, do so in moderation—no more than 1–2 drinks per day.
4. Soy Products
Soy contains phytoestrogens—plant-based compounds that mimic estrogen. High soy intake may reduce testosterone, especially in men.
Tip: Occasional soy is fine, but avoid excessive daily consumption.
5. Mint (Spearmint & Peppermint)
Studies suggest that mint may have anti-androgenic effects, meaning it can suppress testosterone.
Tip: Enjoy mint occasionally, but avoid overuse in teas, gums, or supplements.
6. Dairy Products
Some dairy (especially non-organic) may contain synthetic hormones or raise estrogen levels, leading to reduced testosterone.
Tip: Choose organic or hormone-free dairy, or switch to plant-based alternatives.
7. Trans Fats
Found in many fast foods and baked goods, trans fats:
Disrupt hormone production
Increase inflammation
Lower testosterone
Tip: Always check labels for “partially hydrogenated oils” and avoid them.
