Key takeaways

• Hormonal Imbalance in Men: Men over 50 often experience a drop in testosterone, leading to decreased energy, mood, libido, and potential issues like low sperm count, erectile dysfunction, and prostate problems.
• Dietary Strategies:
  • Zinc: Crucial for testosterone production; found abundantly in pumpkin seeds. Adequate zinc intake can significantly lower the risk of prostate problems.
  • Cholesterol: A foundation for sex hormone production. Egg yolks and shellfish (like oysters and shrimp) are good sources.
  • Selenium: Supports testosterone by protecting testicular cells and improving sperm quality; Brazil nuts are an excellent source.
  • Maca Root: An adaptogen that helps balance hormones, enhance libido, and boost energy.
  • Cacao: Rich in magnesium and antioxidants, it supports hormone balance and blood flow.
  • Garlic: Helps maintain testosterone by lowering cortisol levels.
  • Greek Yogurt: Provides protein and zinc, supporting muscle mass and hormonal balance.
• Plastic and Hormone Disruption: Plastics contain chemicals like nonanol and BPA, which mimic estrogen (xenoestrogens) and disrupt natural hormone balance. It's recommended to use glass or stainless steel containers, especially for hot food, and to opt for hard plastics marked BPA-free if plastic is unavoidable.
• "His Yam Cream": A cream derived from wild yam extracts, designed for men to apply topically twice daily to support testosterone levels, masculinity, and address issues like erectile dysfunction and prostate concerns.
