moobs, man breasts etc and they can be a little bit embarrassing but they can
also be a big health problem and they can also be an indicator other things
that aren't working right. So not only are we looking at more cancer rates in
men and there's also a rise of breast reduction surgery for men but how do we
fix this naturally well we have to understand the mechanism so hormones are
in the human body what causes what regulates fat deposits and the male
hormone dominating hormone is called testosterone in females the
corresponding hormone is called estrogen and while insulin is a fat storage
hormone in general it pushes fat into cells in general estrogen is a hormone
that tends to put fat in places where females usually have a little bit more
padding typically hips and breasts and both sexes both men and women have both
hormones but in different amounts so may at men have testosterone and estrogen
and vice-versa the problem is when these get out of
balance so there's an enzyme called aromatase and it has an action of
taking testosterone and turning it into estrogen it increases it speeds up the
rate of conversion from testosterone to estrogen and aromatase is up regulated
by insulin so you eat a bunch of carbohydrates you get insulin resistance
you up regulate aromatase and now you turn a lot of
your testosterone into estrogen so a lot of these men will then go and say oh
well I don't feel so energized anymore I don't have a lot of the energy and
function that I used to have and so they run some blood tests and they find hey
you're low and testosterone let's give you some testosterone shots or let's
give you a testosterone cream but if they're insulin resistant if they're
upregulated on aromatase they'll give them more testosterone that turns into
more estrogen so it defeats the purpose these testosterone supplements are
simply increasing estrogen and it makes the issue even worse so again we can't
look at one isolated incident we can't look at one line on a blood test and say
here's the problem let's interfere let's intervene in that area we have to look
at where is this coming from so again it's the carbohydrates driving insulin
that sets this whole process in in rolling so if it sounds like I'm saying
the same thing a lot that carbohydrates is the root of all evil
well it's because it is it is a foreign food to us we've never consumed large
amounts of it in our history on the planet so when we make huge changes the
body will adapt and we create imbalances but it's not the body that creates the
imbalance it's the change in the lifestyle and the environment so if you
want to get rid of your man boobs then get healthy
insulin and increase growth hormone that will help balance out this hormone
