Soy and Hormones

Recent studies show that soy and its isoflavones have no negative impact on male testosterone or female estrogen levels, with some evidence suggesting a potential increase in testosterone for those consuming higher amounts. Major health organizations endorse soy as part of a healthy, plant-based diet, highlighting its benefits while cautioning against isoflavone supplements until more research is available. For those who prefer not to consume soy, there are numerous alternative protein sources like lentils, beans, and chickpeas.
