1. Introduction:

Oestrogens in the environment - ruining your gains?

I’ve been down another rabbit hole recently. After reading Anthony Jay’s work and doing a podcast with him, I started to see the extent to which we are exposed to environmental oestrogens, and what hormonal disruption is doing to us as a population: cancer, obesity, infertility, and even allergies.  The problem with oestrogen is that it’s subtle. There’s a time lag. It causes epigenetic modifications, functionally altering your DNA long term. It’s not like being spiked with caffeine where you'd instantly feel something. Being exposed to environmental oestrogens doesn’t mean you’ll have an instant urge to dive under the blanket and watch sex and the city, tearfully shovelling in the Hagen Dazs.

It’s worse. What it does, over the long term, is hamper your muscle gain and fat loss progress
