PLEASE READ! This video is designed to outline foods that should be consumed in moderation or should be avoided IF you are battling hormone imbalances. This video does NOT mean that the listed foods are BAD FOR EVERYONE. For those of you that know my channel by now, you know that I am all about balance and I will always give you a well rounded look at ALL FOODS, good, bad, and ugly. I noticed there were a lot of haters on this video but the simple fact is that I created this video based on literally dozens of requests for such a video. Y'all can't hate on me for creating what you ask :-) Anyhow, remember, my videos are informational for those that need a practical application, not a STEP BY STEP coaching system :-)
@@petarmatijevic8701 I'ts very beneficial, as it does not allow for inflamation in the body, more energy and cardio longevity as well. But also quit baked goods or any pastry which is also high on causing inflamation in the body. so no breads for me either. I could go on and on, but the amount of cardio workouts i do now is more than i did ten years ago and no limits now.
I wonder if all of the estrogen and phyto-estrogens inserted into the food supply is having an effect on the number of people born who are identifying as transgendered.
👍Always on point. Thank you. As a female and high estrogen positive breast cancer patient & survivor...I’m living proof & I totally agree that what you said is true. As a woman I have to stay away from the things you mentioned.
If you happen to be low on estrogen due to menopause, wouldn't eating some of these foods that increase estrogen naturally be a good thing? I'm a newbie. Thank you for your videos!
Perhaps. Avoiding high phyto-estrogen foods is mainly a concern for males, not really females (unless you are pregnant, as this video argues it can affect babies). I'm not the most knowledgeable on whether foods like soy are particularly bad or neutral for women, but it definitely isn't as bad as it is for men.
Video request: cell volumization techniques: optimal use of creatine, waxy maize, water, Himalayan salt. . .Also, you cited a 1998 resource about flax. Have there been any more current studies showing similar?As always, peace and strength to you and your (growing) family!
Been eating quinoa daily for the last three months in substitute for brown rice. My libido is non existent. Just found out quinoa is full of lignans. I'm so pissed. I workout and eat right I'm only 32.
hahahaha the guy in the bath when you're saying soy has estrogenic properties: soy consumption is probably likely to cause an increase in male aromatic, floral bathing
Hate to say it but it looks like in addition to all the steroids Thomas is taking he has sold his soul to the meat and dairy industry, who regularly pay Doctors and influencers to malign their arch enemy soy. Portraying a soy eater as a floral bather suggests a lot of thought went into this brainwashing propaganda.
hey thomas great video as always what if u could make a video giving alternative to these 4 things. Every food today with good fats has high amounts of omega-6 how to counter that be it eggs ,chicken.
can you please tell me if 5-10 g of flax seeds are really that harmfull for your endocrine system? i know for sure flax seeds are very benefic for digestive tranzit
God, how silly is the part about flax? 10% flax diet. Do you think that it's humanly possible to even reach a 1% of pure flax intake? It's used as an addition to foods, usually ground and in a powder form and it's actually great for you. Keep it smart and balanced and it won't disturb your hormones. Eat too much of anything and it'll cause an imbalance in one way or another. Reading scientific papers is one thing but understandng them is another.
You only want the SKIN of the wild Salmon and stay away from the meat! If you dont believe me look up bear videos. They skin it and toss the meat away! It has too much lysine.
Brazil nuts? Never heard that before. They are dangerously high in selenium. Seriously, only 1 or 2. Oysters? Boosts zinc, not test. You lose zinc when you ejaculate so men do need more zinc. I'm not keen on bottom feeders. Salmon? Um, wrong. How many testosterone damaging pollutants does a large carnivorous fish accumulate? Way too much. Never eat something doctors don't want pregnant women eating. That's just logic. Grass fed beef? What if I told you that all grains are grasses? Corn is a grass. You're eating specially marketed beef, nothing more. Beef comes from castrated bulls, aka steer. No testicles equals no testosterone. No testosterone equals elevated estrogen. Elevated estrogen equals more fat. That's why they do it. Now your game plan for boosting testosterone is to eat estrogen filled beef? You'll end up like the steer. Full of estrogen and fat. What does work? Lionel hutz gets it. Winning boosts testosterone. Plenty of sleep as well. And a high carb diet. Sex is winning btw.
What about CLA? It's made from safflower oil, but is it inflammatory also? I currently take CLA with my fish oil every day, but I worry my proportion is off still.
Thomas, I second this idea of showing us your diet for when you are building muscle and your diet when you are focused on fat loss, you throw out so many great scientific insights and diet ideas but it would help me/(us) to see how it all adds up to a healthy diet.
Please tell me how I am suppose to supplement with Omega 3 ? I am vegan and I use flax seeds . I will stop using flax, but this leaves me with only one options - algae oil. What do you think about algae oil?
Sup Thomas! I am battling a hormone issue. I've been doing well on a keto diet but curious about your thoughts on Omega 6 being in coconut oil? 1.8 % of the total fat content. Too little to worry?
Dude... Your videos are great but you give soo much information... Drinks, suplements, timing, etc. Could you make a video walking us through a day in your life basically when/how/what you eat at each part of the day... I mean something that puts all the info together. Thank a lot for all the hard work.. I suscribed! Keep it up 💪
Thanks for sharing this! I've been doing research into this topic lately, and I'm starting to realize how important it is. I suffer from hypothyroidism, so my hormores are already thrown out of whack constantly. I've been on a keto diet for a few months, and it's helped tremendously, but for the past few weeks I've been eating flax and dairy every day and running into some major setbacks. Thanks for the encouragement that my research was on the right track and that it's time to minimize my consumption of these foods again!
You promoted sunflower butter in previous videos but you've said that sunflower oil is high in omega-6 fats and is inflammatory... is Sunflower butter different from sunflower oil?
Its not that you can't have Omega 6s, its that many Americans eat way too many high O6 foods. His diet is balanced, so him having sunflower butter won't throw him out.
I get that and it's not even black and white like he explains it mostly every fat has an omega 6:3 ratio and some are higher then others. I know sunflower oil has a very high ratio i'm just wondering if sunflower butter has the same make up and omega -6 content
Sunflower butter is significantly lower in omega 6 than the straight oil. But you still need small amounts of it either way. Just don't base your fats on it
Question on the milk: do lactose-free dairy products cause any of the harmful effects mentioned? How about protein powders and drinks that are whey protein isolate (not concentrate)? From what I have heard Whey isolate contains little to no milk sugars (lactose).
Hello Thomas , thanks for this video , i have 2 questions for you please: 1- We always say that Omega 6 are inflamatory and bad for health in general but on an other part we recommend nuts and seeds as a "superfood" , and we know that nuts beyond the macadamias are all super rich in omega6. 2-You said that Dairy is bad for Hormones , is it the same with "hard cheese" ? Like parmegianno , cheddar... which contains almost 0 grams of Lactose. Thanks Sir
So if broccoli contains phytoestrogens as well should we avoid it as well? I think in a different viseo of yours (or maybe some other youtuber) it was said that broccoli can actually help reducing estrogens. I'm confused.
Bu Ua no, no. Just moderation. But broccoli is significantly lower than flax, soy. Point of putting that broccoli contains phytoestrogens in the video is so that people know they're in everyday foods and NOT all Bad. Just moderation!
Great information for women with endometriosis- added estrogen would be a contributing factor aiding endometriosis. I had not thought of this with foods! Thank you Thomas.
pea whey protein? it's either pea protein or whey protein, not a combination (unless it is combined in a protein powder, but usually pea protein is complemented with brown rice protein.
Wow Thomas. Keep it up, keep it simple to understand, and this knowledge just might (I know, I'm optimistic) spread and change enough beliefs to make the difference.
Ya I saw his ads and at first thought he was just some bro science guy, but I watched a few of his videos and realized he is really smart, also is great at delivering his messages
So... Estrogens are present in legumes, broccoli, etc. That said, does this mean a higher possibility of acquiring cancer eventually in your lifetime? Doesn't broccoli contain anti-carcinogenic properties that fight off cancer cells? Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Hey Thomas , I'm confused about broccoli now, I chug down almost a pound of it every other day , alongside other veggies . Should I stop consuming it. I really consider and apply ur input , from the vids . Plus I'm a consumer of flax , but mixed together with cocoa and coconut ? Should I stop consuming it at all ?
Is this directed at women as well as men? Reason for asking is that we (women) are told that flax seeds are estrogen blockers and can fight off breast cancer, so there is conflicting evidence.
OMG. Thomas, I've been consuming ALL of these foods kind of on the daily....Could explain why I can't seem to really get into ketosis so easily and why my monthly cycle dates seemed to shift all the time. :\ So...I guess that means I should stop using soy sauce. Bummer. I love soy sauce when I braise pork and other meats. Just had a few questions, if you didn't mind answering them: 1. I consume a lot of butter. Since that's dairy, should I also cut that out? 2. What is a good amount of protein to have at each meal for a 160 lbs, 5'4 female? I've been told maybe have around 18 g per meal. 3. Should I stick to plant fats mainly? So far I've been enjoying a good mix of butter, coconut oil, olive oil, and lots of animal fat from pork. Ever since I started eating pork my skin got a lot better for some odd reason. Also, if heating butter and coconut oil together, or heating any animal fat, bad when you have the burner on usually from medium to high heat? 4. In this video, you talked a lot about estrogen. Well, I've been told that if you eat a lot of eat you will lose a lot of hair from DHT. Not sure if this is true or not; could you validate this? 5. This also ties in with hormones, but have you heard of that study that a lot of vegans cite about how women who consume a lot of meat have male children with smaller genitals and feminine features? Thanks, Thomas. Please feel free to address any of these points briefly in text or in a future video. As you know, I hesitantly stopped eating a vegan diet and I'm trying to learn as much as I can.
Beet root produces nitrous oxide in your body, that NO increases the width of your arteries making blood pressure to drop which relaxes your heart. But to get these benefits you need to eat half kg of beet everyday.
I recently found out my blood glucose is high. My doc said pre-diabetes. Here I thought a ketogenic diet would totally fix that. (I definitely am in ketosis - I use a Ketonix monitor and can see diet changes reflected; I had textbook keto flu and keto rash; etc.) Could you do something on the science behind pre-diabetes and keto? Maybe it will reveal what I'm doing wrong... or that I'm not doing anything wrong, I just need to take a different approach. Or if you've already covered it, maybe point me to the video(s)? Thank you!
I am a data analyst, and the corelation is not always equal to causation statement coming fron a fitness channel just blew me away!! Subscription earned
Mcrey Fonacier difficult but obtainable, the tricky part is having experience in the field. Most analyst positions require three years of experience for entry level positions, so the best way to become an analyst is to get an internship while getting your BA/BS preferably in a major that correlated with analytics, like business, economics, statistics, etc. The field does require a bachelors degree so that will be the primary barrier to entry. I became a business analyst about three years ago and absolutely love it. You must have a knack for computers and logic, if you have those two things then I definitely recommend going for it!
The phrase "correlation does not equal causation" is already sort of a common phrase in the public, at least among reasonably educated people. Of course, it isn't a principle that everyone really takes to heart either. Even if they recognize the phrase to be true, it is still a common fallacy people can easily fall prey to using. Especially in politics (for every ideology).
99% of all crops, not just soy is Genetically modified. Estrogen is not the worst thing in the world. It helps repair and bone strength. You have to consume huge amounts of soy to have any effect on hormones.
As a teen, soy definitely through off my hormonal balance. I started drinking soy milk mainly because it has more protein than almond milk and I started getting cystic acne!!!
Hi Thomas That's a great video! Thank you, definitely I learned something new today :) It would be awesome if you can make a video about IF for women, and how to break the fast to help with our hormones. Thank you again Vanessa
I've started going through menopause & wondered why I wasn't having a difficult time & now I know it's mostly due to my IF diet & weight training lifestyle. Thanks for sharing this!
For most people, soy actually activates the beta estrogen receptors, which actually protect against estrogenically negative effects. Alpha receptors are mostly activated when consuming excessive amounts, of 7-18 servings per day. Also, the flax study was performed on RATS, not humans. No human studies I have ever seen back up what you are saying.
Heya Thomas, great channel and yes there has been a lot of controversy on Soy lately, especially Tofu. One thing that I'm having difficulties understanding is whether organic/non-gmo tofu is actually good for you as a protein source or whether it should also be consumed in moderation. In Europe we have many organic soy options so would be good to get more insight into this.
well, I am an Eastern European so it is quite traditional for me to use a lot of sunflower oil but I agree that I feel better if I do not eat too much. I have never been a friend of soy oil but I must confess I like the soy sauce as condiment. Traditionally if we (Eastern Europeans) do not use oil then we are using pork fat, lard, especially now during the winter. So, how about lard (pork fat) then? Good or bad?
@@Web3Dverse Fun fact, that's why monks started using hops in beer so long ago, it was to lower their testosterone for their abstinence vows... Then "Men" started doing it for flavor and here we are. Dude's dressing as girls at an ALARMING rate.
So is non gmo soy milk something to stay clear from? I cut out cow milk completely and replaced it with soy milk. Should I stop consuming soy milk although it’s organic & non gmo?
Basically every thing else? Sorry I'm probably misunderstanding your question here, If you need to ask that question you need to look up what foods contain omega 3's or omega 6's. If your vegetarian/vegan than I'm not sure I want to make any recommendations since I've only done that once for lent. You can always check out vegetarian/vegan videos on youtube for tips. Just keep in mind that what you eat can affect your mood and personallity so you might want to see how the youtuber acts while they are talking. (If your not an expert at reading body language then this may be difficult.) I've worked in the medical field a long time, you can tell alot about about someone's health/energy in a short conversation. (not that I judge people, I just like to help ppl with their goals.)
You have to eat a lot more veggies if you eat soy sometimes! Like broccoli, cabbage, bok Choy 🥬, asparagus and other cruciferous veggies! My father in law lived to his mid nineties! Grew some of his own veggies and as an Asian he ate plenty of soy! He was a very fit trim man all his life! He ate meat and enjoyed cooking his own foods. He ate lots of fatty meats like pork, beef and fish like tuna! He ate the fat part as well as the lean. He was keto when keto wasn’t cool 😎!
Thomas - the issue is in your video "Flaxseed Does NOT Increase Estrogen- Not to worry!" you said that there is no reason to worry about Flaxseed increasing cortisol and decreasing testosterone. Just trying to understand if flaxseed is something to include in my diet when I have low testosterone, and also trying to keep my cholesterol under control without prescription medication,
Red meat and poultry products are also Full off harmons and antibiotics.. not mentioned.. Bear also lower testastron by 10 not mentioned by you .. soy don't affect testastron if it is less than 70g per day not mentioned by you .. you are clearly promoting your ketogenic diet .. I can see that
Useless? Mineral content, quite good protein quality (although hard to digest), and about AFAIR 5000mg of ALA in 20g which is equivalent of ~250mg of EPA/DHA. Women can even have 500mg EPA/DHA from the same amount because they have higher efficiency in conversion.
Hi Thomas. With regards to the casein, are you saying that its effect on our hormone balance outweight its effectiveness of building muscle? Im not sur if im understanding correctly from what you said. How much casein is too much for this to happen? Would 3 30g servings a week be harmful? Thank you
Humans have been eating soy for thousands of years! It's way healthier than dairy products. You also fail to mention that vegetarians consume dairy which is produced by pregnant cows and contains bovine estrogen which is closer to human estrogen than plants will ever be!
Shell Bell as a vegan the only dairy I consume is goat cheese... Cow dairy is meant to grow a calf into a 600lb cow in 9 months.. (71 to 80lbs) per month.. Doesn't make any sense why humans need it.. Theres no calcium benefits either.. In the United States we consume the most dairy but yet we have the highest osteoporosis rate and hip fractures?? human or breast milk has the lowest amount of protein compared to other species for a reason.
Hi Thomas, I have been following your training methods for some time now and getting better results than i have had for 40+ years!!!, I am 68 years old @ 180IIbs, 5ft 11". I am on a diet of 40% Fat/ 30% carbs and the rest Protein, I am averaging 150 grams Protein / Day, keeping my totals under 2550 Cal's/Day, would this sound good to you?, or am I taking too much Protein? Carbs are good Carbs and I don't smoke or drink, Thanks John
What do you think about Greek yogurt? I know it's a dairy product but it's high in protein and has live and active cultures. Do the pros out weigh the cons or vise versa?
Nice content Thomas and thanks for the work: but with soy. What about soy sauce for instance, which theoretically is fermented food product (which as such should have more beneficial effect than anything)? How should we treat it? Still as a phytoestrogen charged dressing?
So, I already cut back on milk and all the bad oils. As far as Soy goes, I like to put a few drops on my Sushi or Sashimi. I do so in moderation but what, theoretically, would be a good substitute for the soy sauce to put on my beloved Sushi/Sashmi?
liquid aminos taste the same, however fermented soy in soy-sauce does not contain the same phytoestrogen content as, say, a block of tofu. Furthermore, it does not have a resounding affect on the body. Soy, buy and large contains far fewer phytoestrogens than other foodstuffs, legumes and hops for example - it only gets the bad wrap due to dairy push back on soy based replacements. www.fertstert.org/article/S0015-0282(09)00966-2/pdf
I'm interested in going on a keto diet but I'm vegan for ethical reasons. would it be possible to eat a vegan keto diet and is it necessary to avoid soy products to do so? thanks
How does organic peanut butter do? Its high in omega 6's, and flax is high in omega 3's. Is it possible that alone, both may be undesirable, but together are useful?

Wow Thomas. Keep it up, keep it simple to understand, and this knowledge just might (I know, I'm optimistic) spread and change enough beliefs to make the difference.
This is literally the best channel
TN appreciate the compliment!
Ya I saw his ads and at first thought he was just some bro science guy, but I watched a few of his videos and realized he is really smart, also is great at delivering his messages
Dr. Berg is nice too. Less long winded and no more than 4 min videos
@@JohnPaulHorvath he got me when he did his stomach tuck. "15lbs of waste in our intestines." he said.
So...
Estrogens are present in legumes, broccoli, etc. That said, does this mean a higher possibility of acquiring cancer eventually in your lifetime? Doesn't broccoli contain anti-carcinogenic properties that fight off cancer cells? Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Best not to eat anything!
Arab Dude avoid beef
Fasting is good for you.
@ fuck off😄
@ 👎👎👎
Fasting I like your thinking bruh
Hey Thomas , I'm confused about broccoli now, I chug down almost a pound of it every other day , alongside other veggies . Should I stop consuming it. I really consider and apply ur input , from the vids . Plus I'm a consumer of flax , but mixed together with cocoa and coconut ? Should I stop consuming it at all ?
Is this directed at women as well as men? Reason for asking is that we (women) are told that flax seeds are estrogen blockers and can fight off breast cancer, so there is conflicting evidence.
I was also wondering if I am the only woman around here. The information seems to be directed to men only
OMG. Thomas, I've been consuming ALL of these foods kind of on the daily....Could explain why I can't seem to really get into ketosis so easily and why my monthly cycle dates seemed to shift all the time. :\
So...I guess that means I should stop using soy sauce. Bummer. I love soy sauce when I braise pork and other meats. Just had a few questions, if you didn't mind answering them:
1. I consume a lot of butter. Since that's dairy, should I also cut that out?
2. What is a good amount of protein to have at each meal for a 160 lbs, 5'4 female? I've been told maybe have around 18 g per meal.
3. Should I stick to plant fats mainly? So far I've been enjoying a good mix of butter, coconut oil, olive oil, and lots of animal fat from pork. Ever since I started eating pork my skin got a lot better for some odd reason. Also, if heating butter and coconut oil together, or heating any animal fat, bad when you have the burner on usually from medium to high heat?
4. In this video, you talked a lot about estrogen. Well, I've been told that if you eat a lot of eat you will lose a lot of hair from DHT. Not sure if this is true or not; could you validate this?
5. This also ties in with hormones, but have you heard of that study that a lot of vegans cite about how women who consume a lot of meat have male children with smaller genitals and feminine features?
Thanks, Thomas. Please feel free to address any of these points briefly in text or in a future video. As you know, I hesitantly stopped eating a vegan diet and I'm trying to learn as much as I can.
I heard eating beets is good for your blood and heart. This true ?
True.
Beet root produces nitrous oxide in your body, that NO increases the width of your arteries making blood pressure to drop which relaxes your heart. But to get these benefits you need to eat half kg of beet everyday.
Brian Strickler yes, high nitric oxide
I love a good home made beets juice
I recently found out my blood glucose is high. My doc said pre-diabetes. Here I thought a ketogenic diet would totally fix that. (I definitely am in ketosis - I use a Ketonix monitor and can see diet changes reflected; I had textbook keto flu and keto rash; etc.) Could you do something on the science behind pre-diabetes and keto? Maybe it will reveal what I'm doing wrong... or that I'm not doing anything wrong, I just need to take a different approach. Or if you've already covered it, maybe point me to the video(s)? Thank you!
I am a data analyst, and the corelation is not always equal to causation statement coming fron a fitness channel just blew me away!! Subscription earned
Mcrey Fonacier difficult but obtainable, the tricky part is having experience in the field. Most analyst positions require three years of experience for entry level positions, so the best way to become an analyst is to get an internship while getting your BA/BS preferably in a major that correlated with analytics, like business, economics, statistics, etc. The field does require a bachelors degree so that will be the primary barrier to entry. I became a business analyst about three years ago and absolutely love it. You must have a knack for computers and logic, if you have those two things then I definitely recommend going for it!
The phrase "correlation does not equal causation" is already sort of a common phrase in the public, at least among reasonably educated people. Of course, it isn't a principle that everyone really takes to heart either. Even if they recognize the phrase to be true, it is still a common fallacy people can easily fall prey to using. Especially in politics (for every ideology).
Tom your videos are gold.
Great video!💡
Cristina & Jonny glad you enjoyed!
Thomas, would you go with an organic whipping cream or nut/soy/coconut creamer unflavoured, which often contain some sugar?
99% of all crops, not just soy is Genetically modified. Estrogen is not the worst thing in the world. It helps repair and bone strength. You have to consume huge amounts of soy to have any effect on hormones.
dombower you're not incorrect. It's people that LIVE off of it that have a problem

As a teen, soy definitely through off my hormonal balance. I started drinking soy milk mainly because it has more protein than almond milk and I started getting cystic acne!!!
+hannah curry Same here
excellent info ... short backed by science ... COOL STUFF
Hi Thomas
That's a great video! Thank you, definitely I learned something new today :)
It would be awesome if you can make a video about IF for women, and how to break the fast to help with our hormones. Thank you again
Vanessa
Georgina Vanessa Rojas Martinez great video idea!
I've started going through menopause & wondered why I wasn't having a difficult time & now I know it's mostly due to my IF diet & weight training lifestyle. Thanks for sharing this!
I second this :)!
Thanks for another informative video. Great to see you playing croquet at the end!
For most people, soy actually activates the beta estrogen receptors, which actually protect against estrogenically negative effects. Alpha receptors are mostly activated when consuming excessive amounts, of 7-18 servings per day. Also, the flax study was performed on RATS, not humans. No human studies I have ever seen back up what you are saying.
Preach
Heya Thomas, great channel and yes there has been a lot of controversy on Soy lately, especially Tofu.
One thing that I'm having difficulties understanding is whether organic/non-gmo tofu is actually good for you as a protein source or whether it should also be consumed in moderation.
In Europe we have many organic soy options so would be good to get more insight into this.
0:46 most hilarious part of the lesson
well, I am an Eastern European so it is quite traditional for me to use a lot of sunflower oil but I agree that I feel better if I do not eat too much.
I have never been a friend of soy oil but I must confess I like the soy sauce as condiment.
Traditionally if we (Eastern Europeans) do not use oil then we are using pork fat, lard, especially now during the winter.
So, how about lard (pork fat) then? Good or bad?
You forgot beer.
They dont even have 2 label ingredients used in beer
If you gotta be told that alcohol is bad for muscle gains you shouldnt work out..
@@Web3Dverse Fun fact, that's why monks started using hops in beer so long ago, it was to lower their testosterone for their abstinence vows... Then "Men" started doing it for flavor and here we are. Dude's dressing as girls at an ALARMING rate.
What about ground organic flaxseed is that bad for you?
What about organic soy?
Phyloraptor significantly better. Just hard to find
The Source yeah sorry big man 😂 you're gonna grow a vagina from easteogen
Thomas DeLauer I've heard that soy is OK as long as it's fermented. Do you know anything about that??
Love the science base to your videos and it's awesome that you link references in your video description
Wrong. Phytoestrogens do not work the same way in the body as regular estrogen.

Thank you Thomas but that study on flax from 1998 is quite old, there aren't any other more recent studies that you've looked into?
WE NEED A VEGAN GAINS DEBATE!
Tatsumi Kimishima
With all due respect, is there anything to debate?
explain CauseIdontGetIT I just want to see Thomas destroy him and yes vegan gains made a worst of the health industry
Tatsumi Kimishima ahhh, vegan gains is a UA-cam channel.
Got it:
I don't think Vegan Gains will be able to remain as calm as Thomas.
vegan gains, dose know jack shit about nutrition.
and pls if you do see him tell him to keep on grazing in a field
So is non gmo soy milk something to stay clear from? I cut out cow milk completely and replaced it with soy milk. Should I stop consuming soy milk although it’s organic & non gmo?
It won't do you any harm, if you're drinking like 1-2 glass per day
You're telling us what foods are bad but you're not giving us alternative foods
Basically every thing else? Sorry I'm probably misunderstanding your question here, If you need to ask that question you need to look up what foods contain omega 3's or omega 6's. If your vegetarian/vegan than I'm not sure I want to make any recommendations since I've only done that once for lent. You can always check out vegetarian/vegan videos on youtube for tips. Just keep in mind that what you eat can affect your mood and personallity so you might want to see how the youtuber acts while they are talking. (If your not an expert at reading body language then this may be difficult.) I've worked in the medical field a long time, you can tell alot about about someone's health/energy in a short conversation. (not that I judge people, I just like to help ppl with their goals.)
I know it's been a year but he has other videos for that.
I have one for you. Coconut Aminos instead of soy sauce...love it
Thank you honey exactly. Can you say fearmongles
You have to eat a lot more veggies if you eat soy sometimes! Like broccoli, cabbage, bok Choy 🥬, asparagus and other cruciferous veggies! My father in law lived to his mid nineties! Grew some of his own veggies and as an Asian he ate plenty of soy! He was a very fit trim man all his life! He ate meat and enjoyed cooking his own foods. He ate lots of fatty meats like pork, beef and fish like tuna! He ate the fat part as well as the lean. He was keto when keto wasn’t cool 😎!
Thomas - the issue is in your video "Flaxseed Does NOT Increase Estrogen- Not to worry!" you said that there is no reason to worry about Flaxseed increasing cortisol and decreasing testosterone. Just trying to understand if flaxseed is something to include in my diet when I have low testosterone, and also trying to keep my cholesterol under control without prescription medication,
Red meat and poultry products are also Full off harmons and antibiotics.. not mentioned..
Bear also lower testastron by 10 not mentioned by you .. soy don't affect testastron if it is less than 70g per day not mentioned by you .. you are clearly promoting your ketogenic diet .. I can see that
Where the hell do you get bear meat?
@@wynngwynn hahaha! funny dude....
Does greek yogurt also contain high levels of bcm 7? Or is it better for you since its a fermented product?
Flax?!!!! Are you serious! I thought it was a great dietary supplement 😭
Achap only in very small amounts. It actually is fairly useless in the body
Dr Greger promotes it as a great thing
Thomas DeLauer not a good source of fiber???
Useless? Mineral content, quite good protein quality (although hard to digest), and about AFAIR 5000mg of ALA in 20g which is equivalent of ~250mg of EPA/DHA. Women can even have 500mg EPA/DHA from the same amount because they have higher efficiency in conversion.
Every Time I watch one of your videos, I learn lot.. very informative. Besides ACV..
all soy is bad unless fermented
Oh, does fermenting take the bad out? I've been wanting to eat fermented soybeans as a blood-thinner instead of warfarin drug.
Look into tamarind juice, my mom uses that on and off
So organic doesn't help unless it's ALSO fermented ?
the articles says fermentation enhances the bioavailability of isoflavones

Hi Thomas. With regards to the casein, are you saying that its effect on our hormone balance outweight its effectiveness of building muscle? Im not sur if im understanding correctly from what you said. How much casein is too much for this to happen? Would 3 30g servings a week be harmful? Thank you
Humans have been eating soy for thousands of years! It's way healthier than dairy products. You also fail to mention that vegetarians consume dairy which is produced by pregnant cows and contains bovine estrogen which is closer to human estrogen than plants will ever be!
Shell Bell as a vegan the only dairy I consume is goat cheese... Cow dairy is meant to grow a calf into a 600lb cow in 9 months.. (71 to 80lbs) per month.. Doesn't make any sense why humans need it.. Theres no calcium benefits either.. In the United States we consume the most dairy but yet we have the highest osteoporosis rate and hip fractures?? human or breast milk has the lowest amount of protein compared to other species for a reason.
soy is an useless marketing product
DJ, where do you get your goat cheese? 4 oz ran about a buck an ounce and lasted a couple days. .Thanks
Stop yelling you dumb funt!
DJ BOLD I thought Vegans ate NO animal products???
Hi Thomas, I have been following your training methods for some time now and getting better results than i have had for 40+ years!!!, I am 68 years old @ 180IIbs, 5ft 11". I am on a diet of 40% Fat/ 30% carbs and the rest Protein, I am averaging 150 grams Protein / Day, keeping my totals under 2550 Cal's/Day, would this sound good to you?, or am I taking too much Protein? Carbs are good Carbs and I don't smoke or drink, Thanks John
*bro science*
What do you think about Greek yogurt? I know it's a dairy product but it's high in protein and has live and active cultures. Do the pros out weigh the cons or vise versa?
Stop spreading misinformation
Fernando Ram stop watching his videos idiot
Eat your soy, get your flu vaccine, and wash it down with tasty tap water!!
He prob has small testes dude it's ok just go on TRT
fuck off, PAJAMA BOY !!
Thanks for another great video, Thomas.
Are you saying that - as a male - I shouldn't eat flax seeds, or that I should just limit my intake?
Does lactose-free milk still count as dairy? Not sure if the casein is also removed. The milk I consume has added protein and is low on sugar.
so re the dairy - is that true for non veg oil butter? and cream ?
Nice content Thomas and thanks for the work: but with soy. What about soy sauce for instance, which theoretically is fermented food product (which as such should have more beneficial effect than anything)? How should we treat it? Still as a phytoestrogen charged dressing?
Thanks for the video. Some great information to think about.
Thomas, does freezing krill oil affect its potency or bioavailability?????
Just continuing to bring great info. Thanksgiving Thomas!
Keith Healy thank you for watching!!
So, I already cut back on milk and all the bad oils. As far as Soy goes, I like to put a few drops on my Sushi or Sashimi. I do so in moderation but what, theoretically, would be a good substitute for the soy sauce to put on my beloved Sushi/Sashmi?
liquid aminos taste the same, however fermented soy in soy-sauce does not contain the same phytoestrogen content as, say, a block of tofu. Furthermore, it does not have a resounding affect on the body. Soy, buy and large contains far fewer phytoestrogens than other foodstuffs, legumes and hops for example - it only gets the bad wrap due to dairy push back on soy based replacements.

I'm interested in going on a keto diet but I'm vegan for ethical reasons. would it be possible to eat a vegan keto diet and is it necessary to avoid soy products to do so? thanks
Hey there Thomas you true inspiration my question is how long did it take you to achieve your body now from your overweight journey thanks D
PLEASE VID ON KETO AND THE EFFECTS ON GALLBLADDER, PANCREAS.. ect..
And liver, kidneys, and bones.
I am using non-gmo soy milk and organic Tufo . do you think it is not good for me as a woman.thnaks.
What about fermented dairy products like yoghurt and curd ?
How does organic peanut butter do? Its high in omega 6's, and flax is high in omega 3's. Is it possible that alone, both may be undesirable, but together are useful?
I am a little confused as in your other video, flaxseed milk is your preferred milk. Should I drink flaxseed milk or not?
an awesome video Thomas...how about hemp seed and olive oil ?
Hi Thomas! Great video. You are a wealth of knowledge. :)
Great video. Will def apply this to my diet 👍
Does flax omega supplements have the same effect? Would it be possible to do a video on adult acne/skin health in terms of nutrition?
What kind of cooking gives you equal parts of omega 3 and 6?
