Low Testosterone By Estrogen Domination

Give Your Manhood Much Needed Natural Boost

Did you know estrogen dominance can cause low testosterone? Look around and it’s pretty hard to find any kind of sportswear that hasn’t been made with “gender-bending” chemicals…

Almost everything these days is made of synthetic material or some new “techno” fiber that “wicks away moisture.”

It took me half an hour to find something made from real cotton. But here’s the problem… those hi-tech materials are full of nasty and dangerous chemicals.

Too many popular sportswear brands, including Adidas and Nike, manufacture sportswear that contain chemicals linked to low-T, obesity, cancer and many other health concerns.1

And I don’t want my son to be exposed to any of that – including the low-testosterone crisis that has swept across America and the rest of the Western world over the past few decades.

Many sportswear brands now use compounds, called phthalates andpolyfluorinated chemicals (PFCs), to make their products water-, grease- and stain-proof.

These chemicals degrade over time into dangerous hormone-disrupters and xenoestrogens, which mimic the female sex hormone estrogen.

Your doctor is probably unaware of these hormone-disrupting chemicals and their devastating effects. And he or she is probably also unaware that estrogen dominance is one of the primary causes of low-T.

Estrogen mimics also can impair sexual development in boys, and cause early, or “precocious” puberty in girls. Their young bodies interpret the extra estrogen as the call to develop breasts and sexual traits when they’re as young as 7 and 8 years old.

And if you’re an adult, your body thinks it’s getting estrogen. So you could develop:

Erectile dysfunction;
Man boobs;
Loss of body hair;
Loss of muscle mass;
Decreases in bone mass;
Increases in body fat;
And half a dozen different types of cancer.
The painful muscle and bone deterioration caused by estrogen dominance leads to weakness and fatigue, achy joints and fragile bones – but no one is talking about that.

Most doctors don’t have the know-how to recognize estrogen dominance and they’re probably also unaware it can result in serious injury – and even premature death.

Conventional medical wisdom and most physicians often attribute muscle and bone deterioration to aging. But more than likely, the problem is an undetected hormone imbalance.

As I’ll share with you in a moment, you don’t need expensive drugs or therapies to reverse estrogen dominance.

The fact is that estrogen dominance has been caused by the modern world we live in. And these days, estrogen is pushed at us from every direction.

Farmers pump up meat and poultry with estrogens – all with FDA approval.
Government tests have found American water contained “… at least 11 compounds linked to birth control and hormone supplements.”
Estrogen is also found in commonly used food additives.
We absorb estrogen-mimicking pesticides from both our air and food.
Some prescription medications, including drugs used to treat cancer, contain estrogen.
Your sugar-loaded diet can trigger a hormone imbalance that forces your body to convert testosterone into estrogen.
And now estrogen mimics are in the clothes we wear in the gym or we buy for our kids and grandkids.

The phthalates and polyfluorinated chemicals found in sportswear are particularly worrying, because the sweat and friction that result from exercise only help the toxins get into your body more quickly.

And it’s not just Adidas and Nike that are at it. Twelve out of 30 sportswear brands, as well as upmarket fashion houses named in a recent Greenpeace report – including Christian Dior, Dolce & Gabbana, Armani and Louis Vuitton – have refused to remove these gender-bending, cancer-causing estrogen mimics from their manufacturing process and products.2

You may think this is a ringing endorsement for testosterone therapy as a counter to the estrogen dominance in your body – but it’s not.

In fact, if you follow popular mainstream therapies, you’ll only make your condition worse.

The fact is testosterone therapy can fuel estrogen dominance.

You don’t need to add more testosterone. But you do need to cleanse excess estrogen from your body.

The first thing I recommend to my patients is that they remove the sugar from their diets.

Secondly, I look to Mother Nature. She has provided the ideal way to shield your cells from excess estrogen – a plant compound called indole-3-carbinol (I3C).

Many vegetables contain I3C, a precursor compound converted into diindolylmethane (DIM) during digestio. And studies of both I3C and DIM show these compounds encourage the body to metabolize estrogen.3,4

So your estrogen imbalance can be easily corrected without low-T treatment or Big Pharma meds.

Just increase your I3C and DIM intake with a daily supply of cruciferous vegetables, like broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, radishes, arugula and Brussels sprouts.

And if these veggies aren’t to your liking, take 100 mg. of I3C and 100 mg. of DIM supplements daily. These are available online and in most health food stores.

Very quickly, you’ll be able to remove excess estrogen from your system and stay healthy longer with strong muscles, bones and joints … and you’ll also keep your manhood.

Training for Success

What to Eat Before and After Exercise?

When I was working as a personal trainer, not a week went by when I used to see people virtually collapsing on the floor half way during their workout and not being able to complete their full session, due to not fuelling their body correctly and running out of puff.

Whether you are exercising just for general health, fat loss or an athlete in competition, the nutritional strategy you put in place before and after training can enhance performance and reduce fatigue and dehydration as well as promote optimal recovery afterwards.

In order to train properly and recover quickly you need to look at your chosen activity, how long it lasts, time of day and the nutritional strategy to assist in energy supply and recovery.

What you eat and drink before your workout, allows the body to train in the best possible condition.

Your meals should normally be a mix of carbohydrate for energy and protein to repair the body.

The best carbs come from fresh fruit and vegetables and they have the added benefit of being rich in vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients that can help boost health and wellbeing.

If you’re exercising, the rule of thumb is begin your workout well nourished, but with your stomach virtually empty.

This basically means that based on your pre-exercise nutrition, your body should be well hydrated and have enough glycogen to enter your session in the best physical condition.

Glucose is stored in the liver and muscles as glycogen.

When we exercise the liver breaks down its glycogen and releases the glucose into the bloodstream for energy.

The muscles use this glucose as well as their own glycogen that is stored in the muscle to fuel their work.

When glycogen is depleted we become fatigued. How much carbohydrate we eat will influence how much glycogen is stored and the amount we need depends on our activity level and exercise time.

If we are trying to lose fat, we need to consider not only the amount of good carbohydrates we eat, but also the time of day we eat them.

For many of us ( unless you’re running marathons on playing professional sport), we should often have enough glycogen in our system from the day before to get us through our session.

A piece of low GI fruit like kiwi or berries, some yoghurt or a small protein drink made with water 30 minutes prior can also stabilise energy levels if you need it and get you powering through your 60 minutes session.

Drinking coffee, Organic Superfood or matcha tea 30 minutes to an hour before your workout results in longer endurance, faster times, less exertion, less fatigue, and more rapid recovery — up to 30 percent better in each category.

Caffeine also, breaks down fat, freeing fatty acids which are immediately burned.

If your exercise bouts are longer then make sure to take along carb/electrolyte replacements to get you through.

Some ideas could be coconut water, pineapple or orange juice that are rich in minerals such as potassium and magnesium to help regulate fluid balance and for muscle contraction.

Hydration…begin your workout well hydrated 500 ml of water consumed 15 – 30  minutes before training is ideal, then frequent sips during your workout session.

Make sure to hydrate properly after your workout to counteract dehydration.

Exercise sessions over 1 hour may need additional electrolytes during and after the session to help with recovery.

The American College of Sports Medicine recommends you replace 1.5 litres of fluid for each kilogram of body weight lost.

Repair and Recover

Your body needs protein for repair, quality carbs to replenish glycogen (choose foods rich in magnesium and potassium that are necessary for nerve and muscle contraction).

Consumption of small protein rich meals 10 – 25g of protein at each time throughout the day after your training session is the best for protein synthesis.

Good protein rich meal are my recovery smoothie, Superfood smoothie,  yoghurt, trail mix and Pure Native WPI.

Good carb sources are fresh fruit and vegetables including banana, oranges,  pumpkin and sweet potato that are good food sources of potassium and magnesium.

Organic Superfood and Natural Immune Support also works as an anti-inflammatory and helps the body recover properly after training.

Prevent Workout Burnout

Remember to listen to your body and find your balance. Alternate the intensity of your training, so you’re not training like a crazy obsessed person every single day, otherwise you’ll soon burn out, get sick and give up.

Over-exercising and hard dieting have both physiological and psychological outcomes.

Your immune system will suffer and you will get sick easily. You’ll be tired most of the time, and you won’t be able to sleep properly, eat properly or train properly.

Common symptoms of burnout are: elevated morning heart rate – chronic fatigue – an increase in normal body temperature – a greater susceptibility to colds – difficulty sleeping – increased anxiety – joint and muscle injuries.

Enjoy the journey that exercising and healthy eating will take you on.

Learn to take days off to relax and recharge, and enjoy the experience!

It’s the only way you’ll be able to maintain a healthy, balanced exercise routine for the rest of your life.

The most efficient way to get strong, lean muscles with strength and power while shredding body fat is through a combination of high intensity interval training, circuit training and strength training…

Want To Become a Human Flag?

The human flag is an exercise that requires control and enormous strength…

You’ve got to be able to engage shoulder girdle where it meets torso to form a rock solid controlled core which has tensile strength of steel…

What benefits do you get from doing the flag?

Great grip strength, shoulders lats, obliques and quadratus lumborum
all get an outstanding work out.

Getting down to the basics muscles used in the human flag include:

Core (abdominals)
Back
Shoulders
Triceps
Biceps,
Forearms
Wrists
Glute
Legs.

Progressive exercises that help build the strength to perform a Human Flag are
Pull-ups, Handstands and Handstand Pushups.

Visualizing the pictures featured, you can see how a good solid Handstand correlates
to a good solid Human Flag.

The correct steps to human flag…

1) Stand by the side of the pole and inline with the pole.

Bend your body as far as you can to the side and place your lower arm straight into
position with fingers pointing down…

Palm on pole and fingers around pole.

The pole should wedge into middle of bottom of your palm and remain there for support.

Lock your elbow, as this will be your anchor and support.

2) Next, while still bent over to the side, place your upper arm straight onto pole and
at a good comfortable wide distance from the lower arm.

Use a wide shoulder grip if that’s comfortable.

(Keep the upper arm straight just like the lower arm but you will fully grip the bar tight
with thumbs around the bar for the best grip and palms facing away from you to avoid a
bend in the upper arm because of the bicep’s supination position and its instinct to pull
bar instead of push away)

3) Pop your chest out a little as to get a slight arch in back, make sure your body is in
line with pole…

And now use your core muscles/oblique’s and leg strength to kick your feet up one at a time.

First kick with leg furthest from pole and follow through with other leg…

Quickly bring them together and raise them slightly above parallel from the ground.

It’s easier to hold this above parallel position as you’re learning.

Eventually you’ll begin to slowly lower and involve most of your core to hold them parallel to ground.

And it’s important to remember to keep your neck and head parallel.

Look at your feet and check your body position to ensure you’re straight and not piked.

If you’re piked, you need to consciously arch a little more and squeeze your glutes inwards.

Use your lower back extensor muscles in order to bring your piked body into a straight line with pole.

4) Keep pushing away from pole very hard (aim to bring your shoulders towards your ears)

Extend your arms and shoulders as much as possible and keep your arms, wrists, shoulders and lats tight.

Do not pull with upper arm or use your bicep in order to keep your body up because if you pull with
your upper arm it will bend and you’ll not achieve a straight-arm flag.

5) Slowly lower legs using your core.

Focus on keeping feet together, toes pointed, tighten up or brace your glutes and legs.

Brace your shoulders, lats, rhomboids, triceps, forearms and grip strength to keep your form straight
and parallel off the ground.

Keep pushing hard away and keep tension in your body while breathing as calmly as you can.

Key is to keep practicing.

Remember it’s all about enjoying the journey and not the destination.

If you can visualize and understand it, then you can achieve it…
